Golden Palace Casino

• $170 - $360 at $1 bets
• $130 - $400 at $2 bets

Chance of busting out at $2 bets: less than 1%

Our first stop will be Golden Palace, you need to deposit the $100, and then contact support by email, phone, or live chat and request the $300 first deposit bonus.

Wait for the bonus to be deposited, resist the urge to start playing straight away as wagering before the bonus is awarded does not count towards clearing it!

Now we need to play blackjack, the wagering requirements are 20 times the deposit bonus, so you’ll need to wager $8000. I suggest going slow with this one, and doing it in $1 or $2 bets, it may be slow, but busting on the first casino would be a complete disaster! Use the comp points in the cashier to track how much you’ve played, once you have 800 comp points you are ready to withdraw.

On average your balance should be $360 once the wagering is complete, but due to the randomness of blackjack it could actually be quite a long way off that, anything between $250 and $500 would not be uncommon!

Don’t forget to cash in your comp points, they are worth an extra $8, and then request a cashout for the full amount.

Special Notes for Golden Palace

Golden Palace have a pretty tough policy on cashing out. They will ask you for ID, and will request scans or photocopies of a photo ID such as a driving license, and address ID such as the top part of a recent utility bill or credit card statement. Please read the T&C and make sure you can supply the required ID before depositing. Also note the 14 day time limit to request your cashout.

Golden Palace also require you to play in either your local currency or USD, I’ve used USD for my calculations, but if you can play in Euros or UK Pounds and afford to deposit 100 in those currencies you should be able to make significantly more than the $260 I’ve listed!

 888.com Casino

• $110 - $252 at $1 bets
• $81 - $282 at $2 bets

Chance of busting out at $2 bets: less than 1%

888.com boasts a profitable, but rather complicated bonus. You need to deposit $200, and will get 25% or $50 bonus upfront. Once you have wagered $4000 the other $150 will be credited to your account. You then need to wager another $300 to be able to cashout.

So in total: Deposit $200, get a $200 bonus with $4300 wagering required.

You can use the comp points in the cashier to track your wagering. 1 comp point is awarded for every $10 wagered, so when you have 430 comp points you are ready to cash out your winnings.

Special Notes for 888.com

Avoid depositing with Neteller here, they have much stricter terms for bonuses when Neteller is used, the total wagering required increases to $10,000, which while still profitable is not as good a deal.
If you do have to deposit via Neteller the number for this bonus become Average win $158, estimated range for $2 bets $5 to $311, chance of busting out at $2 bets – 15%

888.com are very slow to payout, my own cash-out took just over a week to arrive in my Neteller account (I did this one before they changed the T&C on Neteller users) expect a few days longer than that for other methods.

Betfair Casino

• -$30 - $206 at $2 bets

Chance of busting out at $2 bets: 10%

BetFair Casino is primarily a betting exchange, but they also offer casino games, and a £50 bonus for first time users of the casino.

Create a Betfair account, and deposit £50 (approx $100) you then need to transfer the £50 to the casino wallet where the bonus will be credited as a non-withdrawable bonus. The wagering required is 30 times the bonus, £1500, you can track your wagering using the player profile option in the cashier.

Special Notes for Betfair Casino

Be careful to play the correct game, zero lounge games do not count towards the wagering, and neither does the single deck blackjack game in the main lounge.

You may need to wait a day between the deposit and transferring funds to the casino if you deposit exactly £50, as Betfair’s cashier software charges a small deposit fee, which is then refunded to you the next day.

Victor Chandler Casino

 Quick Stats for VC Casino
Average win: $350
Estimated range for win:

• $204 - $510 at $1 bets

Chance of busting out at $2 bets: Depends on your deposit amount!

VC Casino has a slightly different way of working. There is no minimum deposit, you simply need to wager £5000 to be credited with the £200 bonus (approx $400).

The software is the same as BetFair Casino, and again you can track your wagering using the player profile option in the cashier software. Once you have completed the wagering you need to fill in a form on their website to get the bonus awarded. You can cashout as soon as the bonus is credited.

Ladbrokes Casino

• $60 - $332 at $20 bets

Chance of busting out at $20 bets: 15%

Ladbrokes Casino  offers the highest risk bonus on the list, and thats why I left it till last. It is an excellent bonus, as long as you are willing to gamble a little, and at this stage in the plan you should be able to afford to do so!

Register with Ladbrokes Casino , make sure you play in UK pounds, as that the highest value, and deposit £100. Transfer the £100 to the casino.

The wagering requirement is just 4 times the bonus, £100, but there is a rule that each bet must be at least 10% of the bonus, or £10, and this is where the gambling bit comes in, you need to wager £400 at £10 bets, and then complete the claim form on the website to claim the bonus. Once the bonus is credited you need to wager another 4x the bonus to withdraw, but this time you can play smaller bets if you wish!

Special Notes for Ladbrokes Casino

Ladbrokes Casino  have a large array of blackjack games to play, and just about any will do for this bonus as the wagering is so low, but for the second stage of the wagering you may like to pick a game that has £1 minimum bets and use the autoplay function to play out 400 hands for you!
