The only issue I see with this is getting from $100 to $500 playing $1-2 on the Crypto skins. That's a pretty short bankroll, and to play each skin you are going to be spending alot of time moving money in and out of neteller.

Do you think the increased winrate from the bonus (about 4bb/hr) is enough to offset the variance of playing with only a 50bb bankroll.

This is a good question and I'm not sure of the answer. One thing I do know is that on a small bankroll like this, you should pass on slightly +EV situations to reduce your risk of ruin, keeping in mind that in return for sacrificing these profits you will have the opportunity for even greater profits down the road. It's kind of like tourney strategy, I guess.

The most practical solution seems to be to find some way to borrow $400, only for the purpose of maxing out deposit bonuses. Just make sure you have the discipline to not touch the money once you're done with it.

I agree. This is what I'm doing with a friend right now. He's starting out at the Party skins, and is only playing .5/1, since $400 of the $500 is really mine. After he's made his rounds, he'll transfer the $400 back to me. My money will never be in much danger of being lost.
