Bet365 Casino Question

[rubixstreub]

Well, I knew it would happen one day, but I didn't think so soon.

I managed to blow all of my bonus money at Bet365, with less than half the required hands left to play.

Is there a wager requirement on cashing out without the bonus? Do I have to complete the 20x wager requirement before I can get my deposit back? It doesn't seem so and looks risk free like CON. Anyone have experience with this?

I'm not sure about that. Try the terms and conditions or check with customer service they may be able to tell you. Bet365 has pretty good customer service.

By the way, was this the casino or the poker bonus? I havent done the casino their yet, just wondering how hard it is. I'm guessing its the casino bonus since its 20x.

This is the casino, 100% up to $200. It's a 10x total sum of deposit and bonus or 20x bonus, whichever way you like to look at it it's 800 $5 bets. I played $5 a hand based on the strategy charts and dropped the $200 in less than 400 hands . I think from now on I"m going to three player $2 bets, seems like there'd be less variance that way.

It doesn't say anything about not being able to withdraw your deposit, just that you forfeit your bonus if you don't complete the wager requirement. I guess I'll just have to email customer support if nobody knows for sure, or hasn't run into this problem.

Here is a good article on betting strategy.

Don't be a weenie. Play it out. :P

I know that wasn't what you were asking, but Bet365 has monthly bonuses in poker and free bet offers that you risk screwing up by playing no-risk with them. Bet365 has been worth well over $1000 to me in the last few months, even after my poor showing at the casino -- why risk all that future income by pissing them off? Swings happen in casino bonus chasing -- sometimes we actually lose our own money!

Cowboy up!

thanks, good advice. I started playing Bet365 last month for their monthly $100 poker bonus, you're right, I shouldn't piss them off. Is cashing out from their casino when I'm done a bad idea? Does the casino have monthly bonuses too? What's your recommend with money in Casino vs. Money in Poker?

I would say if you havent done the December poker bonus yet. Then after your through with the casino just move your money over to the poker room and play the December bonus before cashing out. Remember they only allow one free cashout a month.

No casino reloads (yet). They have a Game OF the Month deal where you can play the game with a neg EV of -$2.50 or -$5, and get a free $20 sports bet. I likee.

You get one free withdrawal per month, so if you are cheap (like me) you play them all at once at the end of one month, then play them all again at the beginning of the next month, then w/d. I do the same at at my monthlies that charge for w/d and also at Eurobet, even though they have free w/d.

Did you continue with the $6 single bets or move to the three $2 bets on the multi player table?

[rubixstreub]

I was playing $5 single handed and switched over to 3 $2 bets per hand. I've decided 3 $2 bets clear at an ideal speed while the variance is not as severe. I realize single $2 bets are the most ideal, but that's painfully slow...
