Beating Bovada bonuses

so Bovada has a $3,000 sign up bonus. They also charge a 4.9% credit card fee if I'm not mistaken (I haven't deposited yet).

rules

"The chip purchase plus bonus amount is subject to a 40X rollover requirement in the casino before the chip purchase, bonus amount and any winnings can be withdrawn."

"Any play in Single Deck Blackjack, Double Deck Blackjack, Baccarat, Sic Bo, Craps, Roulette and Mini Blackjack and Mini Roulette in our Sportsbook and Racebook does not count towards meeting rollover requirements for withdrawal."



Bovada has a .56% house edge 6 deck game, so if you put on 1000 dollars and paid 49 bucks in credit card fees, played 40k through the game you would expect to lose 212 dollars, plus the 49 in fees for an expected loss of 261 to get the 1000 bucks. Is there some fine print somewhere where they would stop this from working?

You could also do 9/6 JoB for an expected loss 233, but your risk of ruin would be higher. Does anyone know of a better way to play it, or know of anyone who has done this?

Thanks!

There are a gazillion credit cards that do not charge fees for international transactions. For those of us who periodically go to Canada it is wise to have at least one.

He already knows this. He mentions it in the fourth paragraph.

It's easy to crush Bovada's bonuses. I'm not going to spell it out for, but I'll give you a clue.

High RoR is your friend in this case. The more variance you can take, the better. I'd ask "DUCY?" but I don't really care that much, and I'm giving you a little to work with.
