Default Sands of the the Caribbean

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

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?
