If you have not already please read the Sticky Bonus article and familiarize yourself with Expected Value before reading further.
I want to discuss a variation to the standard sticky bonus strategy as a necessity rather than an actual playing preference.
Online casinos become adept at spotting profitable player strategy in particular where bonuses are concerned.
Many Casinos are restricting bet size to say less than half of the players initial bankroll (deposit plus bonus).
Other Casino groups are taking matters one step further and scrutinizing players entire bet history in order to detect "patterns of bonus abuse" in order to deny a players otherwise legitimate cash out.
In order to combat such over zealous Casino behavior it is timely to consider an alternative to what is considered standard Sticky bonus play.
Enter the Roulette Variation.
The strategy is outlined as per a standard 100% match deposit bonus with a starting bankroll of $200: Select a single number on a single zero Roulette wheel of choice.
Bet $6 straight up on the selected number.
If the number wins STOP (complete wagering requirements in a standard fashion).
You have doubled (approximately) the starting bankroll.
If the number loses repeat the bet with a progressive increment until a winner is struck or the bankroll is exhausted.
The entire sequence is as follows: Note - for a full and correctly formatted table you will need to follow the Beating Casino Bonus link provided below The result, in terms of Expected Value, is not much different from placing a single all-up wager on an EVEN money bet say on Black/Red.
The BIG difference is in terms of appearance in the eyes of probing online casino bonus hunter detectors.
The bet sequence above ranges from $6 to a modestly high $11 per wager.
This progressive bet sequence does not offend "bonus abuse" clauses within ANY casino T+Cs to my knowledge.
With a little more imagination a bet sequence similar to the above could be applied to say the Pair Plus option at Three Card Poker.
As always - bet with your head!
