Deposit what you can afford throw away for a few hours amusement. ten or twenty times your stake should last you a few hours.

BUT, but, but, be very wary of bonuses and lock in conditions. The wagering requirements at the casino you linked to would pretty much make it impossible to ever withdraw a cent, even if you had a long winning session.

There is a 50-time rollover on the deposit and bonus in the bonus funds casino games required. Even if bonus is lost rollover must be completed before any payout can be made or payout will be reduced by the bonus amount.
There is a 50-time rollover on the cash deposit in the cash casino games required. Both rollovers must be completed before any payout can be done.
Bonuses will not include Blackjack, Roulette, Craps, Baccarat and Mobile Casino games.
Any action on Baccarat, Roulette and Craps will not count towards the rollover.
Rollover requirements must be met before future, additional bonuses can be granted.

I'm not sure to understand that, this is for betonline.ag?

I know people that cashed out their money without any issues by playing blackjack?

Yes!!!!! That was from the casino that you linked to!

With every mention of bonuses there is a link to terms and conditions. If you read the terms and conditions and understand them, you will realise what an incredible obstacle they are to ever withdrawing money. They generally give you free play at a huge price. Many online casinos have similar wagering requirements.

But Hey. You know people that cashed out their money, so you go ahead. I too got my money and winnings out of my online casino! Maybe they read and figured a way around the terms and conditions and maybe they rejected the bonuses, or maybe they had no bonuses active at the time of their withdrawal.

Caveat Emptor.

Alright, thank you for your answers! You guys can recommend me another good blackjack online site too haha, but yeah I still want more opinions on my bankroll question :).

And I don't touch the free play money, by the way. It's not useful for blackjack



It depends where you are in the world. Most online casinos which I use do not permit American members, but they do give fair games and no withdrawal fees. From what I read here, some casinos that offer service to US citizens, demand fees for taking or returning funds.

You might try the Wizard's practice blackjack to see how long a $300 bankroll would last if you stake say $10 per hand. I reckon you'd get several hours of fun and experience.

So much depends on your entertainment budget. It will leave your pocket and will probably never return, so you just have to figure how best to enjoy it and spin it out.

Do you guys think 100$-150$ is enough bankroll to start up at a 10$ table?

Why do you effectively repeat your original question, when it's been answered?

Short answer. $150's enough bankroll to have up to about an hour or two of fun. But that's all.

Not only that... you keep saying "bankroll" like you have a plan of attack? Are you trying to count said games? I wouldn't recommend it because either they shuffle every hand electronically or they give HORRIBLE 50% penetration, which makes the games essentially unplayable.

Are you just a basic strategy player? Do you always flat bet, or do you raise your bet? We'd need to know all of that information to give you more exact answers. If you want to play $10 and play for a few hours, $100-$200 (as previously stated) would do fine. This would be a 'session bankroll.' If you want a bankroll to play longer, then I wouldn't recommend doing that unless you're counting and somehow you've found the one site alive that actually gives playable penetration (which I doubt you have).

Long and the short of it is playing online is a literal "just for fun" and you shouldn't expect to make any money from it. Let alone when you get in to the bonuses and how they "hold your funds hostage" essentially until you've put enough action through to cash out (in which 99% of people are bust by then).
Playing it correctly means you've already won.
