Sands of the the Caribbean
 

Anyone know if Sands of the Caribbean is risk free like Inter and some of the other cryptos?

Re: Sands of the the Caribbean
 

It is not risk free. You get the bonus after you play $6000. So in theory, you could lose $6000 trying to gain $100. Not exacltly the definition of risk-free, since most other $100 bonuses you could only lose maybe $100 or $200 on.

Playing Inter as risk-free is stupid and -EV, as it will get you banned much faster.

The signup bonus is 100% to $50 with 20x(D+B), though. I think the EV is $41 or so.

At Sands, if you play Blackjack only, it's $12,000, since they only count 50% of wagers towards the WR.

According to their T&C, that's for the monthly:

As of Jan 1, 2006, every $1 wagered in the following games will count as $0.50 towards the wagering requirements for collecting the monthly loyalty or refer-a-friend bonus.

- Blackjack (Regular, Multi Player, Multi-Hand, Multi-Split, Progressive, Multi-Player Progressive, Multi-Hand Progressive)
- Pontoon (Single and Multi-Player)
- Super Fun 21 (Single and Multi-Player)

It looks like they've also made it easier to clear:

You must wager 25X the bonus you receive before the bonus is eligible for withdrawal. (Eg. Deposit $30, receive $30, wager $750)

So the WR for the deposit bonus is only $1,250 now.

What's the deal with the monthly, where they credit you with $100 every month? What's the catch?

The gigantic wagering requirement if you play BJ or pontoon (12,000 for $100 isn't the best deal around)

Man I suck at pontoon as opposed to BJ. Is there any basic strategy guides available for it?
