I don't play online casinos much at all, because of the obvious credibility concerns. But being I play poker at Bovada, they offer a Tuesday match bonus where they'll match 100% of your casino chip purchase, and you need to do a 40x rollover before cashing out. Standard stuff. So on tuesdays, i like to play one of their video poker games that has a 99.95% payback to the player when played at optimum strategy (not hard to do). So getting a 100% match of your money in a 99.95% payback game with a 40x rollover should be +EV for the player. Now, of course, with variance, one can expect to lose even with that match, but one should never expect to go broke on a 100% matched deposit before your 40x rollover TEN TIMES IN A ROW on a 99.95% payback machine. Thats exactly what happened to me, had the purchase and the matching bonus lost before 40x rollover TEN TIMES IN A ROW on a 99.95% payout machine. Do you have any idea how improbable that is? I waited patiently each losing week, waiting to see if I could reach 10 weeks in a row before saying a thing.

So either I'm just REALLY, REALLY unlucky to have this occur (probabilities in the millions), or there's something not quite right with this machine played on tuesdays.(or any other day perhaps)

You can make that decision for yourselves. I've made mine. And let's just say they could offer a 500% match bonus and I won't be participating in their casino anymore. EVER.

Then again, with the payout problems they've been having lately, I guess it really doesn't matter much.

Nope thats pretty normal for internet casino gambling, I've seen plenty of draino hands in a row. I love to play their free bonus's but if you're going to deposit money, don't even get a bonus. Should you win something big you don';t have to piddle with their playthough nonsense. I've also noticed that once a playthrough is complete. You usually go draino pretty fast. GL

The Bovada casino is a huge scam. I've taken part in a lot of these bonus deals, where they offer 50% and up (most of mine were 100% bonus or over).

I'd say I was able to roll anything over about one in four times.

I play blackjack using perfect strategy and I play slots when I have to (for a slots promo).

The casino is hugely rigged. I've lost many thousands there, and I stopped playing months ago except I always felt these promos had to be worth it.

They're not.

i made a post a few months ago about what a joke this bonus is....yis and another guy swore they were making money off of it

Bovada has nothing to offer, low limits, no winners, nothing compared to the big solid books.

video poker has crazy variance, most of that 99.5% payout is on the royal..did you hit the royal?

I just cashed $130 on this last tuesday's 100% table games bonus. The Blackjack is streaky but not rigged

really? Here is what makes up the 99.95% payback

Pair of 9's or better 45.68%
two pair 18.63%
trips 15.00%
straight 5.58%
flush 4.78%
full house 4.24%
4 of a kind 5.08%
straight flush 0.62%
royal flush 0.34%

I'm curious, when you make statements this retarded, is it because you're stupid enough to believe something so far from statistical reality, or is it because you're in the habit of opening your mouth and stating facts on topics you know nothing about?
