Online Casino Sign Up Bonuses - Are they actually worth going after anymore?

[kDoctor]

I read websites talking about playing perfect blackjack strategy to reduce the house edge to less than 1% to free up the sign up bonuses...

But most sites I've looked at, apart from requiring a play through of more than 20 times the bonus and deposit amount, mostly all state that money wagered on blackjack only accounts for 10% to 25% of this 'playthrough'.

Which seems like it's pretty much a waste of time trying to go after casino bonuses anymore...

Any thoughts on this? Does anyone actually do this anymore? Any better ways trying to get casino money online?

Since many players became "wise" to the best way to play Blackjack Bonuses about 4-5 years ago, naturally the casinos considerably tightened up the WR terms for this particular game, and similar games too.
I do have a page of BJ bonuses on my site here (page is VERY out-of-date - so you'd have to check with the casinos to see if the offers are still available).

For my first 4-5 years playing online I used to only play table games, like BJ and PaiGow (also allowed in WR at 100% in those days), but back in 2005 I gradually switched to slots play. I expect you, like the majority of people, will think I'm mad, and even I was skeptical when I first made this switch. But I have continued to make (small) profits from online casinos 8 months from every 9, including the last 4-5 years of only playing slots. (Month-by-month results here - up to end of 2009).

The two big advantages of slots are that they always count at 100% in WR, and the high variance means just two or three big hits can give your balance a big boost and make cashing-out a profit more likely.

But even some casino's slots bonuses have totally insane WR, so you need to "shop around". On my sites I calculate the value of these bonuses and list them in order from best to worst.

So in answer to your question: Yes some bonuses are still worth going for, but you may have to consider trying something different from what you are used to.

However, I know a lot of players prefer to play without bonuses these days - I've even tried it a few times myself, and knowing you can cash-out whenever you want does give you a good sense of freedom!

Welcome to the forum & Good luck!

Hello,
This is happen in very rare case. There is no particular way to do the transaction online. And it depends upon the company policy. So It is very difficult to mention the procedure.
