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.

At Sands, if you play Blackjack only, it's $12,000, since they only count 50% of wagers towards the WR. [/ QUOTE ] 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 catch? [/ QUOTE ] The gigantic wagering requirement if you play BJ or pontoon (12,000 for $100 isn't the best deal around)
