Playing long enough to get the Bonus

[Dyepaintball12]

For everyone on here that has tried for the Bonuses on on-line casinos, have you ever been playing your $1 a hand for the 1200 or w/e hands you have to play and just lost it all before you were able to actually take out your money +bonus?

How often does that happen?

I read that since the House has about a .5% edge, you should be able to, with a $100 deposit and $100 bonus, have about 190$ at the end of the required hands you need to take it out.

I've hustled about 8-10 bonuses.

Personally, on two different $100 bonuses, I've lost $99 on one, and $103 on another. Wagering requirement was $2000 ish on these, and I was using $5 bets.

I've also won more money than lost a couple of times too.

I am playing Starluck Casino first, and I believe I have to wager $1,600 before I can take out my bonus. Do most sites keep track of this for you or do you really have to like write it down how much money you've wagered?

And Rhino, when you say you lost $99 and $103, is that out of the $100 + $100 bonus they gave you, or did you actually lose all of it, and then plus $3 in the latter case...

Tracking depends on the casino, some have a history or comp-measuring system that lets you know how much you've wagered.

I downloaded the cheesy little applet from this link:

http://www.bonusbug.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=casino;action=display;num=1109733637 (Archive copy)

Which does a pretty good job.

And, what I was measuring my "gaming" win/loss seperate from my "bonus hustling" net loss. In other words, in one game, I made $1 net profit, and in the other, I lost $3 of my own money. Most I had been down at any given moment was $180. (that same round, I came back to +$50, and then settled back down to the $99 loss, it was nuts).

It depends on the casinos and their wager requirement,.

It won't work if the wager requirement is about 30(D+B).

Even worse, many online casinos do not accept play BJ to meet their wager requirement now.
