Of course it's worth it, it's a loss rebate or win Bonus. Do you have $2500 to play with, then? The reason I ask what your bankroll is is because, if you're getting a 20% loss rebate for which the MAX is $500, then $2500 would be the amount to lose.

My reasoning is that, if your bankroll is significantly smaller than that, then you might get more value trying to do the win Bonus. Does the VP have double up?

What is your bankroll and how much would you be betting per hand on Blackjack and on VP?

Also, how does one earn an FPP for the Guaranteed Bonus?

I have 1000$ bankroll . (what if Im willing to risk only 500$?)(Also,I could get 1500$ more if its much better.) Also I assume you mean blackjack is best for this?

Fpp thing seems bad or?
Wager amount required to earn 1 FPP -live blackjack 44$ .Roulette 12$ .Atlantic city blackjack 74$ .Baccarat 30$.Doesnt say for video poker. slots 6$ Etc.


Heres what video poker game
Jacks or Better
This game is the gold-standard of Video Poker. It includes the full pay table game on all versions, from 1 to 100 hands, returning 99.54% with perfect strategy over time. Entertaining and rewarding for all types of players.
Hand values follow the traditional poker rankings and there is a bonus for a Royal Flush with maximum coins played. When the hand is over, you can choose to risk your payout using the Double Up feature, which can bring a win of four times the amount!

What is a better choice considering all this if I want to risk little ? (or if higher risk is better?)
Also obviously what bet sizes?

Good call on the FPP's being bad. I don't know if you're waiting for a better offer, but I'd be willing to risk the full $1000 on the loss rebate, you get $200 back anyway.

Is there a play though requirement on the rebate? Actually, I see there is, 0.5 FPP per $1.00 of Bonus. So, initially, the Loss Rebate or win Bonus will be effectively less than 20%. Still should be a winning play, though.

I'm going to do an Article on this promotion later to fully answer these questions and will link it in this thread when I am done.

Finally, I see you must make a total of at least 100 wagers, but they don't appear to have to be the same amount.

I would recommend starting out with a big bet on something like Baccarat, perhaps $800, and try to shoot for a big win. If your bankroll is $1000, then you'll get more value out of winning in excess of $1000 and getting that Bonus than in losing $1,000. If you lose the $800 bet, then grind Blackjack or Baccarat at the minimum until you have achieved 100 total wagers and collect the loss rebate. When you hit 100 wagers, perhaps try a reverse Martingale betting everything until you are over a bankroll of $2000...but do not overshoot a total bankroll of $3500.

I like what youre saying.However is there something to be said about bankroll management here? Lets say I have 3000$ total bankroll .Would betting 1000$ here be wise or is it too much variance for my roll at one give time ? Wouldnt I need to bet like 300-500 here to not be too out of my depth cause of risk of ruin ? Would good idea be to perhaps take 10% of overall bankroll ,300$ ,and play until I have either won 1200-1500$ or lost the 300$ or is math better on some other side?
