Forum: Bonus Whores | | As a follow-up, is there any way on Sands of the Carribean to determine how much of your WR you have filled so far? I can't seem to find it on their site or in searches here. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Bankroll at January 23, 2005, 12:29 am | | Topic: caribbean poker extra bonus? Forum: Bonus Whores | It's nice that some sites let you play multiple hand blackjack with small wagers which greatly reduces the time it takes to play "a thousand small bets." CS is not one of them, as I think they require minimum bets of $10 in order to play 5 hands at a time. This of course increases risk of ruin. They also have a $3 minimum for playing single handed, not $1 like some sites, so the number of individual wagers you have is only 50 with a $150 stake.
It's not the best deal in the world, but it is still +EV. I've ground out plenty of profits by wagering the minimum amount and playing thousands of hands with perfect basic strategy. I'll sometimes multitable poker and play BJ during the idle time between hands to clear wagering requirements. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: 23-19 at January 23, 2005, 12:13 am | | Topic: caribbean poker extra bonus? Forum: Bonus Whores | | I don't have that problem, but I have a hard time making a thousand small bets. I tend to make a big one right away and then grind out $10 a time if I double up with my first bet. I'm sure its stupid, but I just can't play BJ for hours without losing my mind. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Bankroll at January 23, 2005, 12:09 am | | Topic: caribbean poker extra bonus? Forum: Bonus Whores | | Yes it's best not to complain about extra cash, although I suppose I'd be complaining that I didn't get $30 more if the max is really $150. This deal was better when it used to be only 25X to clear, but as it is free money there's always the chance you can clear some cash without risking anything more than your time. If you are the type that is easily addicted and will start wagering with your own money once you get a taste of casino play (the kind of player they love); then stay away, otherwise why not play? | | Static Link |
| Posted by: 23-19 at January 22, 2005, 11:56 pm | | Topic: caribbean poker extra bonus? Forum: Bonus Whores | | I thought it might be that one, although they gave me $150 when it says a max of $50. I guess I won't complain, although I'm not a very patient casino bonus guy. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: 23-19 at January 22, 2005, 11:27 pm | | Topic: caribbean poker extra bonus? Forum: Bonus Whores | I just signed up and got a $150 bonus on a $200 deposit. It didn't release when I hit 250 hands, so I guess it is some kind of casino bonus.
I can't figure out how to make the casino tell me anything about it. Does anyone have any details on what the terms of the bonus are or how much I have to wager to clear it? Failing that, can anyone explain where the ^%&@%&@ I can find that on their casino site? | | Static Link |

They quit the casino reload...this is for new sign-ups. 100% up to $100 I believe.

As Stew said, it is the casino bonus at Sands of the Carribean. The poker room and that casino are connected.
