Grandmaster, (or anyone)so if i play JOB then what happens? Does it slowly turn the money into real cash or do i lose most of it in the process? Lets say i start with a few grand...half my cash-half this bonus. If i play .25 JOB will i keep most of the bonus or will i be left with a part of it or all of it or? (assuming typical JOB hands come up). Also what is your opinion on their single hand BJ?. This takes 1% of the bet lost off the bonus on the lost hand amount...is JOB better or the BJ?

You are right, if you lose, 2% of your stake comes from the bonus and you only lose 98% of your stake in real money. If you play single play Jack or Better, the probability of losing is 0.545. The game with optimal strategy return 99.54%, the bonus adds 0.545*2%=1.09%, so the overall return is 1.0063%, or 0.63% edge for the player. (This ignores any possible changes to the strategy to take the bonus into account, but this effect is likely to be small anyway.) Then there is also 0.1% comps, so your ove... | | Read Entire Entry |

The conversion rate is not as good as it used to be, so you will probably find that it will take a a long time to clear the bonus. On the positive side, there is no explicit wagering requirement, the bonus is converted gradually and you can always see in the cashier how much of your balance is withdrawable. For a little added advantage, you can play on Freaky Fridays and get double comp points.

Well, a bonus is a bonus, won't necessarily give player the edge but it does reduce the house edge. Although I think 2% conversion rate makes this bonus a waste of time. I also have doubts as to the fairness of games offered by this place.

Hi I have been offered a rather large 100% match intro bonus offer at Global Player Casino. I was wondering if anyone could advise as to whether this is a good offer and the best way to play it thru to real money? I saw they lowered some of their percentages which convert the intro bonus to real money-vp went from 5% too 2% ect. Any help on this would be really appreciated. Thanks, Videopokernut
