If you are running out of cashable bonuses, take a look at Vegas Casino Online

Edit: November 9, 2006. They have just updated their casino to new software. Their new bonus appears to be only 25X(D+B) for BJ which is better than the one in the review below. We will be updating it shortly with the new information.

What do I need?

$100 in a Neteller account that you can lose if you run very very unlucky. While statistically it is very very unlikely, it is still mathematically possible that you could lose every hand you play and go bust. That being the case, I think this program will work for most people who follow the instructions, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention the possible risk. This sites has a "Comp Point" system that accumulates as you play to keep track of your progess towards the WR. You are awarded 1 comp point for every $15 you play, which makes it a snap to see when you have cleared your bonus.

Let's Get to it

At Vegas Casino Online (which is a member of Main Street Group, just like Twin Aces), they do it a little strange compared to the other spots we have reviewed, namely they have a wagering requirement you have to meet before they even give you the bonus, then another WR after you receive the bonus. This amount is 10X your deposit, or $1000 on a max deposit. While you can play in pounds on this one, they have effectively made it less profitable with extra WR and extra fees so just play in $$ here. Looking through the terms and conditions though, there are a few land mines to watch out for. 1) You can only play on Blackjack or Blackjack Pro to clear this bonus, using Blackjack Surrender or Blackjack switch doesn't count towards your WR. 2) If you play any Blackjack while clearing this bonus, your WR to cash out the bonus increases to 35X the bonus amount+ the deposit amount. Putting all of this together means you have to clear $1000 to receive the bonus, then another $7875 before you can cash it out. When you initially deposit, a window pops up telling you you have to play $1000 worth of wagers to receive your $125 bonus.

While you are playing, once you pass the $1000 mark, a box will pop up telling you you have been awarded the $125. Easy! Then just $7875 more before you can cash it out. You can keep track of your progress by looking at your comp points screen within the cashier.

When you reach 66 comp points, you have met the initial 10XD WR, when you reach 600 comp points total, you are done and will see this screen!

Once you get into the blackjack and are ready to start playing, make sure to go into "Menu", then Options, where you will see a screen like this:

You want to increase the game speed slider to the maximum, make sure Fast Play is selected, make sure use large cards is selected, and make sure Disable warning messages is not selected. This will let you know if you accidently try to hit a hard 17 etc.

Make sure to convert your comp points to cash to pick up another $6! When I did this one (in pounds before they changed the terms to penalize it), I upped my bets to £4 per hand after I was awarded the bonus. I ran pretty well and ended up at £255 total when the WR was complete. There is also a 5% fee on the cashout amount if you play in pounds and you are not in the UK. So after that fee was removed, my profit was £142, or about $263. Even though this is owned by the same folks as Twin Aces, this cashout took a while (maybe because it was the 2nd casino in their group I had done). They credited my original £100 back in about 30 hours, but it took another 3 days to give me the profit. With a nice profit, I don't mind waiting a bit, but it certainly could be faster.

Note that Blackjack and Blackjack Pro have different rules, and Blackjack is more favorable to the player since the dealer stands on soft 17. Since it is better for the player, we want to make sure to play Blackjack, not Blackjack Pro. Note that this site uses the European no holecard rule which means it waits until after all player action to put the dealer's hole card up. This means when you double on an 11 with a T up, then the dealer can have blackjack and you can lose both bets where typically they check for blackjack before they let you double at other sites. In any case, this means it is a different strategy, so please pay attention to the below chart when playing at this casino.
