Busting Out on a Bonus
I was always under the impression that at casinos that credit your bonus instantly if you lose all your bonus money you can just cash out and forget it.
So if I put in $200, get a $200 bonus, and then lose a $200 hand of BJ I can take my money and get out of there. Is this not the case?

No, Casino's have different types of bonuses. Very few let you do that. You usually have to clear the wagering requirements to get your bonus. Other bonuses are "sticky" which means that you can only use the money to wager with.

I just chatted w/ Casino On Net support and they said I could take my money if that happened. Are they an exception? [/ QUOTE ] This must be recent then... they never allowed this in the past and i've seen a few recent reports that it worked. It's a bad idea at any casino that offers reloads, even if they allow it

Not to mention it just makes casinos offer crappier bonuses in the future. If you want to earn money without risk, don't do it gambling DUH!

Re: Busting Out on a Bonus
I think the support guy is full of [censored] - casinos HATE this. Perhaps what he meant was you could withdraw, but they'd take back the bonus.
E.g.: Start on $400, lose $100, withdraw and they give you $100 back ($300 minus the $200 bonus you didnt finish) So in your example if you lost $200 and then withdrew, yuo'd get nothing

Re: Busting Out on a Bonus
Even if they let you it's not a good move. You'd be missing out on EV.

How is playing a casino game voluntarily +EV? (Unless you're referring to reloads and future offers, but most don't offer that.)
