Casino bonuses - any sneaky terms to look out for?

[tastyflop]

I am going through the list at beatingbonuses right now and although there are certain warnings listed there, I wanted to check to see if there are any unusual terms people can think of that jump out at them. So far I encountered a max $10 bet (sticky bonus - no point with these limits) at club world casino (however they promptly returned my deposit after I noticed this) and I also read that king Neptunes does not allow you to bet both your cash and bonus balance on one wager, which from what I understand, is the key to clearplay bonuses. Let me know if any other MG casinos have this term as well.

Basically looking to potentially avoiding any headaces. Thanks all

Always read the terms before completing a bonus, you can't merely rely on the affiliates site as casinos often change t+c's. It sounds like you are doing this though.

at neptunes you have to win 2 bets (deposit size) instead of 1 big bet (deposit+bonus size).if you loose one bet after your first win, you can just start again...

why not to spread them out on numbers on F. roulette? that way you can bet all on one spin

european and french roulette has a 48,6% chance of doubling your bet if spreading of more than your deposit is allowed. baccarat banker bet is 50,6% for 1.975x your bet.

You can choose many bet sizes besides a full-bankroll bet. Just play until you either double (or reach some other target) your bankroll or bust. If you choose an extremely low house edge game like Classic BJ, then the house edge loss from the wagering is lower than with a single big bet on a hand of baccarat.

For example, consider betting 1/10 of the bonus on hands of classic BJ until you either double your bankoll or bust. My simulator predicts that 49.5% of the time, you will succeed and double your bankroll. And roughly 50.5% you will bust. That's closer to a coin flip than betting everything on a hand of baccarat.

The average length of the session is 83 hands with an average bet size of 1.12*(Bonus/10). The house edge is 0.09% with optimal strategy. So the average loss from the wagering is 83*1.12*(B/10)*0.09% = 0.8%xBonus. The house edge loss from this wagering is less than the house edge loss from betting everything on a hand of baccarat, where you lose >2%xBonus (>1% for betting bonus and >1% for betting deposit).

Results are similar for other bet sizes. Note that the house edge increases by ~2% in BJ, if you bet your full bankroll and cannot double or split.
