Good thing I raped them for 100 bets last month.

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

God damn it. I guess it had to happen sooner or later. Thanks for all the free [censored] anyway, it's been swell Intercasino.

This will be the first time in almost 3 years that I haven't done their monthly bonus.

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

oh [censored]

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

It's still +EV.

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

I'll probably just try to sticky it x3 or x4, that way when I hit my target I'll be happy to grind it out, if busto that's it for intercasino I guess, x100 next month no thanks.

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

For me Intercasino was the main reason to still stay in this business.. now I will become a casual poker player again. It was fun while it lasted, but it was bound to end this way sooner or later.. :/

I still hold my fingers crossed that this is only a bad April fools joke though! =)

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

The bonus is still worth about $75 in EV so there's no need to get all uppity about it. Also, I don't think anyone has confirmed yet whether we can play Pontoon for the normal (not 50x) bonus. If we can then all is still fine.

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

Pontoon's been lumped in with BJ since a few months ago, it was definitely 50x when I cleared it with Pontoon. They caught that loophole a long time ago, unfortunately.

FWIW, thanks to the bigger WR, I had an opportunity to run my balance up to $550. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I've done this bonus regularly since November and I've busted only once, finished way above EV the rest of the time.

Would anyone consider playing this like a clearplay now?

I've heard that Intercasino has removed their earlier rule about carrying over the remaining wagering if you bust. So attempting to reach a target prior to completing the wagering with higher variance bets has various benefits, including increasing EV and reducing time spent clearing the bonus. The obvious downside is increasing the risk of busting.

There a many ways you could do this... half or full bankroll bets; start out by rapidly clearing the wagering with $25+ bets until you reach a desired target, then switch to small bets; start out with a higher variance game like VP, then switch to a lower variance game like BJ after reaching target; etc.

You can play war for the 25x bonus! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

This bonus is good for blowing off steam now at least. I was steaming last night and fired it up, betting 20-30$ per hand (when I usually bet ~5) and finished up 500. Didn't even take that long [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

I was thinking of going over to slots at 18x instead of BJ at 50x. The HA will be higher maybe offset by the lower WR. Does anyone know what the HA is for the Crypto slots or War?

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

BJ is still the most +EV game to play

http://wizardofodds.com/gambling/houseadv.html

5% usually for slots with v.high variance (1800*0.05 = -90)= +$10 EV
2.88% for casino war (2500*0.288=-72) = +$28 EV
0.75% for BJ (5000*0.0075=-37.5) = +$62.5 EV

I spent all mine on millionaires club [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Don't forget VP with half the wagering of BJ. The house edge in double bonus is 0.89% (jacks or better is not full pay), making the VP unlimited bankroll EV $100 - (2500*0.0089) = $78.

Also, unless something has changed recently the house edge in Crypto BJ is not 0.75%. It is ~0.49% with multi-deck (single deck is not allowed at Intercasino), making the BJ unlimited bankroll EV $100 - ($5000*0.0049) = $75.5 . Pontoon is slightly higher -- $81 -- at the cost of a significantly higher variance.

With flat betting, the variance over the course of the wagering is 50% larger with 10-hand VP than standard BJ, in spite of the smaller wagering. With an equal number of hands (half the bet size on 10-hand VP), variance is similar between BJ and VP.

This would mean pontoon at 25x, I'm guessing they meant "including blackjack"?

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

I would be uppity if I could do this at 100x since they allow pontoon. Be happy you guys have anything ><

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

Regarding wagering carrying over. Some players have reported that the wagering does not carry over any more, yet their terms imply that it still does carry over:

"Please note that if the wager requirement is not fulfilled within the month the said bonus is issued, any outstanding wager requirement will continue until the wager requirement is met - even if additional bonuses are issued."

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

Single deck BJ has an edge of 0.07%
EV aprox 97.5 not too bad

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

Single deck BJ also has a minimum bet of $25 FYI...

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

Correct, but it's a good thing, makes you pay even less wig. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

FYI, if you read the T & C's for the MMAPRBJ bonus code, Single Deck Blackjack does NOT count towards the WR.

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

Something that actually effects the EV then, suits me for not reading the T&C before posting.

Re: Intercasino changed WR to 50 x
 

I can confirm that after busting there last month the WR didn't carry over to this month so I decided to play it like a clearplay but busted at both the US and UK versions.
