Beating the Casino Bonus Playthrough

If you an advantage player looking to make a profit from casino bonuses. You’ll probably be looking a hit-and-run sort of casino strategy, where you deposit the maximum allowed by the bonus and quickly pulling the bonus plus any winning out quickly before a cold streak hits you. The biggest obstacle you’ll be facing is that most casino games are negative expected value and that most bonuses have a required play through amount. So you’ll need a gambling strategy that either gives you an edge or at least minimizes the house edge.

So an aggressive approach, if you were looking for profits plus the bonus, would be to use a progressive betting system like the martingale or labouchere / cancellation systems. These systems get around the negative expected value by changing the players bet sizing. In essence, a progressive betting system allows you to walk away with a profit without having to beat the house more than 50% of the time. You can in fact have a winning session with a win rate as low as 20% or even 10%. The strategy is aggressive and carries risks. You need a bigger bankroll and have the heart to face a lot of volatility.

If you are willing to accept the negative expected value and looking for a safer way to get through the required bonus play through, then you need to keep your bets to the lowest house edge bets. By being smart with your bets, you’ll be able to stretch your bankroll for longer sessions. And Lady Lucks favor swings both ways, when the casino’s edge is reduced to less than 1%, its practically a coin flip as to who will be the winner. There every chance that you will be the one ahead.

If your looking for something uncomplicated, you want to approach games like craps and make free odds bets. Most online casinos will offer at least 3x free odds on your pass line bet, so you will be looking at a house edge of 0.471% overall on your betting. This is a great simple betting strategy that will get you through practically any reasonable play through requirement.

If you want to play something with a bit more player skill, then I highly recommend sticking to blackjack and using the blackjack basic strategy. Depending on the house rules, you can expect to be able to reduce the house edge to around 0.5 - 1%. Remember, playing blind gives the casino a house edge of 5% + so it takes skill to reduce the house edge by 4%.

Whatever path you choose, good luck. I hope you break the bank!
