It really depends on the details.

Let's say they give you $500 to play with for like 1 hour. And any winnings, you get to keep? Let's also assume that there is a "consolation bonus" that you get if you lose some of this play money.

If that's the case, just play it big, as big as you possibly can. Find the game that allows the largest bets (they're probably capped at very small levels). Perhaps roulette, do it by scattering bets on roughtly every single spot in a one-third area. Your goal by playing big is to either quickly get that bonus amount up to a high level (you decide where) or run out of play money quickly, and get the consolation bonus.

Aterwards, the bonus is probably transferred to your real money account, but locked up until you complete a wagering requirement. Two options are to a) find the lowest-house edge game you can grind it out with, and grind it out, or 2) Bet big again, letting the bonus either multiply your winnings, or subsidize your losses (you'd want to at least try to double-up). This option is not for the faint of heart, because it results in losing your entire deposit at least half the time.

Are you sure max winnings(bonus) is $500. With all those promos it used to be $200 and has been downgraded to $100.
May I ask which Casino?

Oops - sorry it is $200 max winnings - my mistake.

It is Classic Casino (Casino Rewards Group)


I managed to get the balance up to $700 so have deposited and have got a $200 bonus to play with

I believe it's only the Wagershare/Palace group offers that have a $100 maximum. The Casino Rewards and Fortune Lounge offers still have a $200 maximum.

Why do you say that?

The terms dont state that you cant have an account at more than one Casino Rewards site. In fact, the only term related to this in the rules was referring to using this promo at another CR casino (which I havent anyway)

I have an account at a few of the others, and have made deposits etc.

I used the promo, made my deposit and followed all the terms as posted so I dont see why I would have a problem. If I do, then Ill certainly be taking further action.

** Found this term:

In the event that you have not made a deposit at this or any other Casino Rewards member casino, you may not redeem more than one sign up bonus within the Casino Rewards network, regardless of the individual casino offering the sign up bonus.

~~~ This doesnt apply to me as Ive made deposits previously at other casinos in the group, so shouldnt be a problem.

As Nifty29 hinted, bonus suspension can be avoiding by playing without bonuses on an existing account prior to claiming more sign-on bonuses within the group. And even if you have been suspended from receiving CR bonuses, I believe you can receive bonus winnings from Free Play. The only bonuses that you cannot receive are those that require logging into your Casino Rewards (not the casino) account.

lojo is on a distinguished road
I've played at all CR casinos and used bonuses from most of them, including several free spin deals. Only ever had two problems; One had a max of $40 hidden on an obscure page. ie I had already deposited $40 so I ended up with a basic %100 match bonus.
The other one was BJ Ballroom, I believe. I hit on the Loaded slot early in, went back looked at the T&C, made my deposit and tried to cash in for the $200. It said I hadn't wagered enough. I called support and the guy said, I assure sir, it most certainly DOES say you must wager at least $100. I said, whatever dude, went back in and did it, redeemed my bonus, blew through it, the neteller bonus, free spin bonus and deposit. WFT. Next day I click in and there's $200 more bonus money. A phone call got me an apology for the misunderstanding (the was no $100 minimum in the T&C) and a 'keep the change'
I've read a few stories on here about CR service not being so good. I was happy with it. I played at Cap'n Cooks exclusively for 6 or 7 months.
