Default Bonus hunting

I believe I've found an online casino that will pay a great enough bonus to make playing at a disadvantage worthwhile. They match 100% of deposits up to 300 dollars. Say I deposited $300, so my account total was 600.

The withdrawl requirement is 5x initial deposit + bonus. this would be 5(300) + 300 = $1800

Could I deposit 300 so my account balance would be 600. Play 1800 hands of Basic Strategy and expect to come out ahead?

I'm slightly worried about the rules because they don't list very many. The rules listed are as follows:

6deck reshuffled every hand
closer hand to 21 without going over wins (DUH), other obvious universal blackjack rules like value of cards and how to determine who wins
Dealer STANDS on soft 17!
insurance will be offered if dealer is showing an ace.

They fail to mention if DAS, DOA, RSA or any of those apply. what do you guys think?

after doing more research. I will have to play $6300. I'm guessing the best way to do this is play $1 per hand (the min) so that it is more long term than betting 5 or more per hand.

I also found a better explanation of the rules, pluged them into the BS engine on this site and found a 0.44% advantage to the casino. Is there a RoR calculation or a way to see if playing this online casino in the way I have stated would be profitable? Playing with 600 units for 6300 hands.
