It's their own software. Dueces wild will be the lowest HA (which will be below 2.5 easily) but I am too lazy to look up the paytable on wizardofodds...

Well without BJ, what are you going to play? I think most games are over 2.5% HA, or at least very very close to it. Seems like a waste to me...

I looked it up, the closest pay-table has it paying 10 for a straight flush instead of 8, that's the only difference. The HA is .58% on that variation. Using the same table from WoO but changing to 8, we have added 1% to the HA for 1.58%.

So, calculating the edge it's 20x(D+B)=20x($3000+$2000)=$100,000*(1-.0158)=$420

So only $420 EV for a [censored] of wagering, and you can't use autoplay or anything, and you can't make mistakes playing VP. So if you want to go for this, go right ahead...

I haven't checked all their VPs, but Deuces Wild should be the best and the HA is like 1.6%, and your +EV isn't very good. I mean if you've done everything else, by all means go for this, but otherwise there are far better bonuses to take advantage of with the roll that this one requires, and I don't really want to go through the variance of VP with such large deposits and low EV.

i only did the first deposit and have yet to clear the bonus funds into cashable cash as i was going to do it concurrently with clearing the second deposit. but effing sia took two weeks to pay out and so i couldn't make it through mansion in time. bollocks! effing casinos subject to sudden change, jerks! and i'm sitting at 98 real cash and 100 bonus to wager through, so no matter what i'm down money unless i get real lucky betting through the bonus chips, and no effing way i'm going to vp through so many thousands of wagers and huge deposits. i'm sick to the stomach! and live chat is taking about fifteen minutes to answer every question i ask... GOSH!!!!

Just a heads up, if you bust before you meet your WR, they wont credit the bonus. You will have to redeposit and finish the WR before they'll credit you.

You can still go through pokersavvy.com and get $90 worth of points for $50 wagered in the sportsbook or $10 rake generated in the poker room. I would do the $50 in the sportsbook and then hedge it somewhere else. Easy $90. Shoot me a PM if you want a referral.
