Casino bonus question

[arbboy]

Probably one for doobs this one.

Just been given a £100 free play birthday bonus by an online casino.  No roll over requirements at all.  You can cash out anything above the £100 bonus for cash at any point but you lose the £100 free credit when you do.  I have the balance currently at £200 playing £25 a hand bjack (£100 can be withdrawn in cash if i do i lose the other £100).  What is the optimal way to play this bonus given the terms and conditions?  Given i haven't spunked it instantly i thought it was worth seeking advice from others how to proceed.

Is it like a free sports bet with a bookmaker and i should just put the whole £100 on the biggest price possible on roulette at 35/1 or grind blackjack to see what i can spin it up to?  My first instinct was to just put the whole £100 on zero at 35/1 if it won cash out.  Seems stupid cashing out at £200 as i am losing £100 of punting tokens to win much more.  Is there an optimal amount to cash out?

Balance is up to £262.50 now!

Worth checking the T&C, as sometimes they attach a ?x bonus max win.

It's a rarity, but I know a couple sites I've done have such things on their sign ups, and some promos.


Given it's a 0x wagering, but a deductible I wouldn't think there is a max.

High chance of busting your dough, but those slots are good punts at a mid/high 4figure payout if you bink.

No idea right now.  Guess it would take some working out, though the answer is probably the one you first thought of.  Ie all 100 on single number on single zero roulette if available.  If you are on 300, you have probably run good and likely should take it.

Oh, and happy birthday

This.

Though no chat for 30 mins = confirmed busto.

Back down to £100 (ie the free bet).  Going to place it all on a single number on roulette.

This reminds me.

You were indeed totally wrong about Free Bet Blackjack.

You should take the free double whenever given the chance, whatever the dealers upcard is.
