[Bonus or not ?]

Didn't you notice that there are periods when no matter what slot you play it seems like you are winning on all of them and sometimes you lose on all of them,still Lady Luck is involved 

 

Poker players like me call it variance. But sometimes it's true that everything I touch (poker, blackjack, slots) is on a winning streak and other times bad luck is sticking. Now, the question here is when am I on a winning streak and when I'll be on a losing one ? That's why I like to have more chances on my sides with some maths.

 

But on the long term, we all know that the casino is the real big winner

OK, I made my own research and made some math. Let's say I have 100% bonus with 30X WR on the bonus only. I make a deposit of 100$ and can play with 200$ but I'll have to wager 3 000$. 

 

Then I play slots with an average RTP of 96 %. That means that theorically, when I bet 100$, I get 96$ back on average and that the casino keeps 4$.  Now, I have to bet 30X 100$, mathematically speaking, the casino will get a return of 30 X 4$ = 120 $.

 

That means that for every 100$ of bonus the casino gives you, it gets 120$ back. It's still a negative expectation.

 

To have even chances, the WR needs to be no more than 25X if you play 96% RTP on average. If you get a 30X bonus, your average RTP needs to be over 97% on average.

 

My conclusion, mathematically, it is better to play without a bonus unless the WR has a positive expectation vs the average RTP of the slots you play.

 

Any comment ?

Hello Eric and welcome to the forum

 

At the moment I prefer to play without bonuses. When I do play with a bonus there's no strategy for the wagering I simply play the games I think are best to complete the job!

 

And how about you? Do you like to play with a bon

 

 

So far, I usually play with bonuses and had good withdrawals. The problem I had so far is that I build nice bankrolls with big wins, but with WR, I lost half of it.

 

I like to play with the casino money, but I'm still wondering what is the best option mathematically ? No mathematicians out there ?

I would like to know what you think about online casino bonuses.

 

Do you prefer to play with bonuses or not ? And why ?

 

Do you have mathematically explanation behind your choice ?

 

Do you have a strategy to complete your wagering requirements ?

 

Personnally, I think 100% bonus with 25X to 30X the wagering requirement is fair enough and should be taken. I avoid bonuses under 100% and/or bonuses with high wagering requirements like 40X deposit + bonus.

 

 

GOOD LUCK GAMBLERS !!!
