Any casinos still allow Blackjack to go towards WR?

**VegasRockstar** · 2nd September 2008, 11:57 PM

Anyone know of any casinos that still allow blackjack to go towards the bonus wagering requirements? If you do, please list them here.

I presume you mean with sensible WR? There are loads that allow it at 10% or 2%...

The good news is I list 26 casinos on my site which are all over 25%, and most are 100% - the bad news is only 2 of them accept USA players & one of those has crap WR...

So I think you're left with Club World... or becoming a slots player!
(Much more fun

vegas KK is right there is nothing worth doing now bar a few UK outfits which dont take US players sadly. I bagged during my 2nd year at uni and made good money but even then the hey day was over, from what ive read about 3-5 years ago was the best time, �100k's to be made

I already started to write this reply that there are a ton of casinos accepting blackjack to complete (reasonable) WR - counted that there are 56 casinos in our Best 100 Casino Bonuses list for starters only, but then I noticed before hitting the submit button that your location is USA and felt like

.

The situation for US players sucks so bad - I feel for you actually. Non-US players have so much more oppportunities to choose from.

There are some Rivals casinos (depending on the promos of the different Rivals as I have no clue how each determines their promos) that have offered bonus promos where BJ counts generally 1/3 and I have seen up to even 1/2 against the wagering requirement. I never take a strings attached bonus with the exception of where it makes no sense not to like their new cash back bonus on losses with a 15 times the cash back bonus WR. ((I did not understand why it had a WR but I am an ungrateful SOB who knows nothing about gambling (other than my monthly wagers had to exceed well over 7 figures) so please keep that in mind, hopefully I will soon have to start wagering my air flight and other reimbursements from land based casinos at least 200,000 times

)). And I usually do not like wasting my time with the previously mentioned or their no deposit whatever you call them.

That said, where BJ does count 1/3 or 1/2 against the WR's it also generally has a term that says the casino has a right to lower the table limits. I once tried to get the specifics of like the maximum goes from $200 to what and CS claimed they did not know. But what if it was a maximum of $2???........I can say the table limits on BJ on their new cash back bonus on losses with a 15 times bonus WR did not change, fwiw at least at one Rival's casino!!

I'm afraid those days are gone

Last time I checked (all 13 Rival casinos) only 2 allow BJ at all in wagering! Many used to - but not now.
I know someone who said he took a SUB & played Blackjack (might not have been for WR - just to double his balance..?) and the table limit was still quite high; $200 if I recall correctly. Not sure which Rival it was though...

I'm not helping much am I?

The original poster lives in the USA. Most of the USA-friendly casinos don't allow BJ, have BJ weighted at a very low percentage (Microgaming), or are shady with a high problem risk. This makes options very limited.

Among the accredited casinos, Clubworld is one of the few reasonable options for a USA BJ bonus, and that's a marginal bonus. If you are not in one of the 11 states, you could also choose a Microgaming site that offers a Clearplay bonus with early withdrawal allowed and cash out when you have a good win, before completing wagering. Note that only a small portion of MG casinos permit early withdrawal on the sign-up.

If you venture into shadier casinos with a higher problem risk, then there are more options, such as:

5Dimes -- Matchplay casino uses Gametime software, which is relatively unknown. One of their other casinos uses AST/ThrillX software, which is believed to be unfair. Otherwise, it's a very reputable sportsbook.

Heroes -- A couple players have had winnings confiscated because their play resembled a "bonus abuser." Most players have no issue.

Jazette Sportsbooks Sites -- SBR rated them as D- when I last checked, but players do get paid (sometimes slowly).

Connect2 switched to a Rival software variation recently and allows BJ. However, it's on the rogue list. I don't think any other Rivals have a decent BJ bonus.

Thus as I said above the word "some" as I am only a member at 2 in fact

I know someone who said he took a SUB & played Blackjack (might not have been for WR - just to double his balance..?) and the table limit was still quite high; $200 if I recall correctly. Not sure which Rival it was though...

As I stated above, whenever they started the cash back bonus with WR deal aka nonsense (imo), they kept the table limits the same on that particular bonus. On the bonus offer below which I just took the screenshot from TIV, I had heard back in the spring the BJ max. table limit was lowered from $200 to $5 but I do not know. I guess I can take the minimum bonus and find out since CS would not answer me.

I'm not helping much am I?

About as much as I probably

Que sera!!

I recently saw one (forget which s/w & casino

) that had a BJ specific bonus @ 40x WR. While high, it's still low for BJ; considering that BJ is weighted at 2% for MG's "ClearPlay." So you're looking at around 1500x+ if you want to play BJ and take a bonus at MG.

To put it in perspective: $50D+$50B = $150,000 in wagering
