Casino Las Vegas - details

6th March 2007
Another non cashable blackjack bonus, I really enjoy these as they are a lot faster than the cashable blackjack bonus due to the different strategy involved and the betting is more exciting due to it being larger. Casino Las Vegas offer 100% up to $100 with a very low wagering requirement of 12 time bonus and deposit working out to be $2400. I started out this one the same as Kiwi Casino with 2 time $10 blackjack bets and had a bad turn to start, going down to $120. This is where my bad luck ends and even before the $1000 wagering had passed I was on $350 and this is when I decided to decrease my betting so I could ensure a win. After 2 x $5 betting for the remainder of the wagering requirements I managed to be ahead $205 at $405 total. :)

Kiwi Casino - details

These guys offer a pretty easy non cashable bonus at 100% up to $100, so being non cashable my plan was fairly aggressive blackjack betting to try and get a good $100 or more up but not too aggressive that I would get there too fast without making a good dent in the wagering requirements of $3,000. So I decided on 2 x $10 bets and stayed pretty close to the mark after $1,500 wagers, then I ran into some great doubles opportunities and hit 70% of them ending up with $350 after $3110 wagers.

River Nile - details

23rd February 2007
River Nile Casino is offering a great $/£/€1000 free play offer, so how this works is that you register to the casino and select the free play offer on the main casino floor screen. You are then given $1000 to make up to $1200 in at least 100 bets and 10 times the bonus play though (10,000) in one hour. You can go higher than $1200 but you can only move $200 into you casino account so there is no real point.

Ok so I selected pounds (don’t select pounds unless in the UK as I had a few dramas to sort this out but they did let me use them in the end) and made it to £1,380 in the free play and so was able to transfer £200 into my casino account once I deposited £40. So with a balance of £240 and a play through requirement of £6,000 for American Roulette I started play.

Black Red, Odds Evens and 1-18-19-36 bets is what I focused on to try and work away at the £6,000. Now the great thing about this bonus is that you can cash out at any time and the bonus is released in £10 increments after every £300 wagered. So you could try to double you balance early and cash out your winnings and this is sort of what I did. I made $3600 in wagers and released £120 of the bonus while having a total balance of £338 enabling me to withdraw £258 (338 – 80) giving me a clean profit of £218.

Magicbox Casino - details

After the success of my first non-cashable blackjack bonus I decided to give Magicbox Casino a go as they offer pretty much the same bonus. I deposited $115 and received $115 in bonus to play with giving me a total of $230. Things just did not go my way at all on this one and I never hit over $230, my goal being to hit $400 and then grind the rest out with low bets. I managed to wager around $1500 before busting out on 3x$10 hands of multi-hand blackjack. I must say these non cashable blackjack bonuses are enjoyable to try as the betting is a lot larger and they are very quick to complete, won’t be the last one I try.

Acropolis Casino - Casino Closed 3/09 - details

15th February 2007
This is the first non cashable blackjack bonus I have tried, and from the outset I had a plan to wager high try and triple my money or bust. I used pounds to get the most of the bonus and deposited £100 and they matched it with a non cashable £100 plus a 10% Neteller bonus. So starting with £210 I played 3 x $10 hands and was on to a great start and quickly got to £356 with my goal to get to £400 and then slow down and try to grind my way to the very low wagering requirements of 12 x bonus and deposit.

Thing then took a turn for the worse and I was tinkering on the edge of the abyss but after a few busts from the dealer I managed to get to £300 well clear of the requirements with over £5000 in wagering. Cashed out £200 and forfeited the £100 non cashable bonus.
