Bonus whore, whats a bonus whore?!

A bonus whore is somebody who wants to use/abuse the casino bonus offers to his/her advantage.

It' an unbelievable and stiff competition between the gaming companies today. This is why every casino is offering a uniqe bonus.

Before a player can withdraw a bonus he must wager it. Now this is where the bonus whores enters the picture. Simply by using a strategy card the laid bets that will be returned to the player is 99,64%. This means that the house advantage is only 0.36%, and this also means that for every 200$ you bet you will only lose 0,64$.

So the bonus whore tries to wager a certain bonus, keep it as intact as possible and then withdraw it!

Rookie bonus whores start with small bets (1-4$) to eliminate the risk of getting bankrupt. More advanced go higher to spare time.

Example of a welcome bonus, a casino is offering a 200$ welcome bonus at the first deposit of 200$. The wagering requirement is 12*(deposit+bonus) for eg. 12*(200+200)= 4800$. So you will have to wager 4800$ before withdrawal. This sounds like a hard task but but overall the player will only lose 24$ since the average profit is 4800*99,64%=4783$. at a bonus of 200$ this will give a profit of 183$

How to deal with Sticky Bonuses
A bonus hunter/whore can also play with "sticky bonuses",
its getting more and more popular with casinos to have sticky bonuses. A classic sticky bonus; deposit 100$ dollars and recieve a 200$ bonus(and the wager requirement is always lower then with a welcome bonus). It sound great but there is a catch, you wont be able to withdraw the bonus, ever!!! But this really doesn't matter, to deal with this type of bonus you're gonna need at least 300$ in your casino account. Anyways this is how you deal with it;

You're risking 100$ and you have got 200$ extra to play with, but this amount must be returned to the casino. So the best way to take care of this is to bet big and hard.

In other words, bet the whole bonus in one hand. You've got just under 50% chance of winning. If you win you've got 500$ at the account and 100$ which is the casinos. If you win just meet the wager requirement(which will be low) just as a regular bonus and withdraw! If you don't win then still wager, hope to end at a positive fluctuation and you may still have made a profit!

Remember
Even thogh the house advantage has been put to its absolute minimum doesn't mean that the outcome will always be the same. I mean, sometimes you will win much more and other times you will lose more then just 0,36%. It depends on if you end at a negative fluctuation or a positive. And how much youre stakes been at each hand.

Doing this a couple of hours will surely pay off good, and if you like blackjack then it won't be a problem. I surely understand why people do this, its a garantued profit by playing blackjack!

Casinos are aware that there are bonus whores/hunters, but really there is nothing they can do but make the bonuses harder to take. In the end I believe that its good pr for casinos and that they make money from it, just because most people can't do a perfect strategy even if they have it, greed grasps them to hard.
