Top 10 Casino Explained

Well I listed my top 10 Favourite Casinos (on the right side bar), but never had the chance to explain it yet. Well here it is.

Terminology and Knowledge Base
EV - Expected Value: EV = Bonus - (Waging Requirement * House Advantage)
WR = Waging Requirement if you want to cashout a bonus. B = Bonus, D = Deposit. A 100% max $100, 10xB+D = Deposit $100, Get $100 bonus. Must wager $2000.
HA = House Advantage. Most BJ games are 0.45% Video Poker, Pontoon are the next best games allowed. Pai Gow, Casino War are doable.
Sticky - Bonuses which are not cashable. 2 types. Sticky 1 = Disappear from your account upon withdrawal. Sticky 2 = Bonus stays in your account until you lose it. Sometimes sticky 2s are cashable
Strategy - For the best strategies, visit www.wizardofodds.com Choose the software that the casino is played on for optimal results.

  • 1) Casino On Net

  • 100% max $200 20xB waging requirement. Therefore deposit $200, get an extra $200. Wager $4k, and you can cash it all out. This is by far the best bonus in the industry. Expected Value is $191, therefore that was what your expected to make by doing this bonus! For CON I just flat betted $5 per hand, took about 1.5 hr, cashout takes roughly a week. Check your comp points to keep track of wagering. WArning, do not use Neteller as your first time deposit method!!! WR increases if so. You can always try deposited with another method, playing your wr, and then do another deposit via neteller, and then withdrawal. Not too sure if that works though.

  • 2) Starluck Casino

  • 100% max $100. 8xB+D wr. Party Gaming's casino. Can either play the Java or download version. Java version has Vegas Strip Blackjack, which is the lowest HA of them all. Low deposit, low wr, good bonus, great casino! For this I flat betted $2/hand. If I were to do it again, I would do $5. Must manually keep track of wagering. Make sure you check your IGM rewards. Once in a while they give you free $, plus do all the surveys and you can get an extra $20 or so! EV = $92. There is also a +EV IGMpay bonus that you can do as well.

  • 3) Planetluck Casino

  • see Starluck! (same casino group, allowed to do both.)

  • 4) Victor Chandler Casino

  • max £250. 10xD wr. Deposit £50, wager 500, fill out the form for the bonus. Get Wager £500 get £50, Wager £2000 get £100, Wager £5000 get £250.
    Chartwell software. Simple, you can play Single Deck Blackjack and poundable as well! Only problem is that NO Americans allowed!!

  • NA) Golden Palace

  • NEW Bonus TERMS!
    300% max $300. 20xD+B wr. Fully Cashable. BJ allowed. Playtech software. Same bonus for the whole Casino Blasters group. Will not let you do too many from the same group. Below info was for the old terms, but still some value to tackle other sticky bonuses.

  • 5) Ladbrokes Casino Casino

  • 50% max £50, 4xB + 4xD wr. This one I think is no U.S. players, not entirely sure though. Deposit £100, wager it 400, get bonus, wager another 400, cashout. £10 min bets. It is microgamming viper software so you can do autoplay if you wish. Vegas strip or downtown are the best games. Once in a while they have reloads. Also a Live Casino bonus which is pretty good.

  • 6) Inter Casino

  • 100% up to $100. 25xD wr. Probably my favourite casino now, because this bonus is Monthly! Cryptologic software can get pretty streaky and frustrating sometimes, but the streaks work both ways. I do $5 per hand bets here, play mostly multihand blackjack, but have played some single hand and some pontoon. Built in bonus tracker lets you know exactly what % you have left to fulfill the waging requirement. EV is approx $79/month. You now need a monthly bonus code found on their site.

  • 7) Littlewoods Casino

  • 100% max £50. 25xD wr. First time deposit you can do both the new player bonus and reload during the same month. Regular monthly is max £50. Same cryptologic software as Inter. Small little monthly.

  • 8) Bet365 Casino

  • 100% max $200. 10xB+D wr. Playtech software. A little higher wr than the others but still very worth it. Poker bonus is the best reload bonus right now at 5x, and you are able to do both the casino and poker bonus! I played regular multihand blackjack here but I believe you can also play BJ surrender and BJ switch. EV is $180.

  • 9) Sports Interaction Casino

  • 125% max $125. 20xB wr. The waging requirement might be 8xB+D. T&Cs keep on changing and not very clear. It says sticky but it really means sticky until you reach your wr. Playtech software, and once in a while they have yummy reloads! You also get a 10% bonus if you deposit via neteller, so possibly add that to your wr.

  • 10) Red Lounge Casino

  • 100% max £50, 20xB wr. No Americans allowed and only 1 kismet account per player. Great software, lots of various games to play, and easy bonus to whore.

    Sticky Help
    2 optimal ways to play type 1 stickies. First is to bet it all on one hand. Hopefully double up, and then revert back to your usually betting size to finish off the wr. By doing this your risking $100 to profit $400 right off the bat. Any of these games are fine if allowed, BJ, BJ surrender, BJ switch, Pai Gow, Casino War. The other way is to make big bets, anywhere from 20% to 50%. Set yourself a target and when you hit that target, continue with your regular bet size. I guess there is a 3rd option of mixing up both methods!

    Will also have all these up on my main site www.casinoownage.com as well as others. Honourable mention Casino List coming soon! (Those that I recommend and just missed out of my top 10)

    Ladbrokes has changed the terms once again. It's now 50% up to 100 pounds. The clearing is now 4xD + 4xB. (800 pounds then 400 pounds to max out).

    Victor Chandler has slightly changed their offer. 10% max £50. 10xD wr. Deposit £500, wager 500, fill out the form for the bonus. Get bonus, wager another 200, cashout.

    *Of note, you can do this in USD instead. To get the max bonus you would have to deposit/play the equivalent amount in the bonus. Eg. Deposit $900, play $900, fill forum, get $89 bonus, play another $360 to cashout.

    From Victor Chandler's site
    To qualify for the initial sign-up bonus, the customer must stake a minimum total of £5,000 for the £250 bonus, £2,000 for the £100 bonus and £500 for the £50 bonus, or the equivalent in the chosen local currency - for example, your chosen currency is US Dollars ($) and the prevailing exchange rate is £1 = $1.8. If you decide to claim the £50 equivalent bonus, then you must stake $900 (500 x 1.8) in order to receive $90. Each new player may only claim one of the above bonuses and once a claim is received it cannot be changed or altered in any way.

    Thanks for the Terms update. I guess its still better to do everything in £, if possible. Less wr.
