I hate Blackjack, but it's a good choice. Just make sure to read through the Terms & Conditions to make sure BJ is not restricted (it often is) and, if not restricted, does not have different playthrough contribution percentage (it often does).

All playthrough percentage being equal, Banker-Baccarat if I wanted to play for speed and Video Poker if I didn't care about speed and was in the mood to play it. Video Poker doesn't even necessarily give up any RTP, depending on the VP and BJ rules/paytable, and if I am in the mood to play VP at all, then I will probably also be betting significantly less per hand than with Blackjack because I hate Blackjack.

Baccarat almost always sacrifices a bit of RTP compared to Blackjack, but it's brainless and it's really difficult to put into words how much I despise playing Blackjack.

Sounds good. Blackjack works, just do the RTP compared to rollover math and make sure you're expected to profit. I guess you should check the House Edge of the BJ and VP games just to be sure, but online BJ games with a high House Edge are somewhat atypical.

If you're allowed to, I'd bet everything on a single number in roulette. If you win, grind through the 30x on a game with a low house edge. However, most T&C guard against that.

Of course, He'd be putting his buy in at considerable risk. One can't just wager the bonus.

Just finished a 15x Rollover Bonus requirement on Draft Kings for a net profit of $607.20 Not a bad return on a $500 deposit with 100% deposit match.

My strategy is two fold:

1) Grind out a $50-$100 profit on a low house edge game like Baccarat or Blackjack. I prefer Baccarat as you can just Martingale on one side until you hit the desired profit number. Since it's 50% free play, your risk of ruin is lower. Try to avoid going beyond 6 marty bets if possible.

*The problem with using JUST this play method is that on most Gambling apps, both Baccarat and Blackjack bets only count for 10% of their actual value, so you play 10x MORE to reach the playthrough requirement. My method is in step 2

2) Play the Slot game Rocket(might have a different on name on different apps, but the mechanics are basically the same) It's a continual progressive rising Bet counter that you can "Bail" or Cashout at any time. My method is ALWAYS Bail at the lowest possible point of 1.01 with a bet between $50-$100(depending on your comfort level). DO NOT play every single round unless you are pressed for time. There is also a NOT so random Instant Kill trigger of 0 seconds or 1.00 times the bet which is always a Losing bet. You can try to best your avoid these but you will hit a handful of these for every 100 rounds. So when you do, I usually play One more round after the Insta Kill trigger hits as it's rare that it hits 1.00 on back to rounds(though I have seen it happen Once), then go back to Bacc. or BJ and grind out another $50-$100, Rinse and Repeat.

The rocket play counts for 100% of the bet and you will clear the play through requirement much faster and with less risk than playing a traditional Reel slot machine or VP game.

This sounds like a casino bonus and not a sports or "cash" bonus. Unless something has changed recently, whenever you take a casino bonus at BetUS it's locked up inside a special bonus casino where you are limited to only certain games on the platform, BetSoft/ Nucleus IIRC.

that is correct. However every blackjack hand counts fully for the 30x rollover, which i have been doing basic strategy, betting 3 hands @5$ each for a 1250$ bonus. BTW this is all extra because i deposited for the sportsbook, but got 150% bonus on sports, and 50% on casino.

Their BetSoft BJ(or a different brand?) contributes 100% to the WR?

Interestingly, their casino bonus terms exclude BJ, Baccarat, Roulette, Pai Gow, and craps. So be careful as it may be counting down the WRs, but they may not allow you to withdraw if they notice.

Technically, since it's a sports bonus the casino bonus rules may not restrict table games.

Update:: I finished the rollover on the freeplay, the remaining of the funds have been transferered to my cash balance which i will use on sports betting. The casino free play was 1250$, i ended up with 476$, betting 3 hands of 5$/hand playing BS. I should have ended up with more but that variance seems within norms. Made a few misclicks here and there as one do when playing quickly.

I can't remember exactly what deal I got from them, I don't get any more bonuses from them, I'm on what they call makeup. They want me to deposit the equivalent of my cashouts/profits, not sure, but it was some nonsense like that.

I take it the sports portion rollover isn't 30x, It's 15x? Assuming no line shopping or reduced juice the sports betting should be breaking even. Your profit/+EV comes from the extra 50% given in the casino.

The rollover on sports is indeed 15x, but i have also a 150% bonus there as well or 3750$ in freebets to put in 14 days, which i should convert about half into cash. total EV of that deposit should bet around 2200$ assuming i'm breakin even on the sportsbets.

I have rolled over large amounts of bonuses at a dozen online casinos. BJ is never the best option for me because every casino that has a high WR also has a 10% contribution from BJ. Even with a good BJ game with 0.38% HE it is easy to find a slot game that is superior in terms of expected loss. Playing $15K through a 97% RTP slot game is much better than playing $150K on BJ. I can sometime just put it on auto-play and walk away. I might have to do several different auto-plays to hit the total WR on the nose. For example (100+500+1000 spins)x$10 for a $16K WR, but it only takes a second to restart each auto-play and the game counts the spins for me. No BJ game that I know of counts my action for me.

Look out for evolution live carnival games such as lightning dice, crazy time, monopoly and gonzos treasure. at about 96% rtp you can pop them on autoplay and they won't mind you betting both sides. 100% contribution

A game with 99.6% return low variance and 100% contribution..... I would stop looking for better games pretty quickly $:o)
