Has anyone made any money...

Is it possible to beat online casino's? Card counting doesn't seem possible as they shuffle after every hand. Do you need to have a pure strategy that gives the player an edge over the house?

There is no playing strategy that will give you an advantage. Your advantage will come from the deposit bonus. As long as you expect to lose less than they are giving you then you have an advantage.

Iv considered doing this but have found that often they require you to make wagers that represent your total deposit and bonus combined multiplied by a number from lik 20-200 depending on where its at. betting 1/100th of your totally sum you have to make 2000-20000 bets before you can cash out, and playing at a rate of 300h/hour which i estimate since the computer is a super fast dealer it would take ~6-60 hours before you could claim your bonus (whats left of your bonus).

And the sad note for most of the mebers on this forum, is that in order to cash out you have to say make 20 times your depotis in bets regularly while for blackjack you have to make a much higher number such as 80-200 before you can cash out. This sucks as without a doubt blackjack has the best odds of all the games.

I often find that if you intend to make money form them, you have to play so many hours for so little money its not worth it. I have never actually deposited money into an online casino, but i did spend a whole day shopping them and doing the math to figure out if it was worth playing the bonuses and couldnt find any that were worth the effort in my oppinion.

The only way i see it working is if your a compulsive gambler and you HAVE to play blackjack to keep from losing your marbles. It would be better to play this way and pull in 1.75$ per hour than goto a real casinos and lose much more since the table minimums are higher.
