Bonus play through strategy
Hi - first time here and need some advice
Playing internet VP with one of the casino rewards sites
Deposited 200 they doubled it in bonus
Ten mins in on bonus poker I pulled 4 aces on a max 5 pound bet so sitting with 2400 pounds
Problem is I need to play through 6000 to get to my cash - any advice on strategy I should take ? Small bets for the next six months ?
Thanks
Peter

A low volitility game with a positive paytable would be the best way to preserve your winnings, I would think. I am not sure what your game choices would be.

I would play as low of denomination you can stand if you are looking to hold on to most of your winnings.
I would pick either Jacks or better or Bonus Poker, whichever game had the higher payback.
Nice hit!

You are using terms differently than we do in the United States. Four Aces on a $5 bet on Bonus Poker returns $400 --- NOT $2400. I don't know what game you're playing, but it isn't what we know as Bonus Poker. (Perhaps you meant you were using $5 coins and it required six coins for a maximum bet? I know I'm using dollars and you said pounds, but that's just a simple conversion and doesn't affect the underlying statement.)There are software products (I personally promote and recommend Video Poker for Winners --- there are others) where you can enter the pay schedule and return for whatever games are available on that site. Generally speaking you want to play the highest returning game. If capital preservation is your goal, you want to play the game with the best return, lowest variance, and lowest stakes.Bob

Casino rewards you say.
Did you know that if you play video poker your bets on play through only count at 10% on the dollar? So for every 100 dollars you wager just 10 dollars comes off the 6000 play through. Slots count 100%. That means you must wager a near impossible 60,000 through the machines on VP. These games are also less than 100% payback.
Also Casino Rewards do not have a good track record on playing their players. If you do win it will take a few weeks to get paid IF they decide to even pay you. Read all their terms and you might find a few more surprises.

While they have a lot of 99% Video Poker games to choose, I find the actual game results depressingly similar to AC. But I have cashed out a few times for amounts that range between $250 to $800, and I am glad to say I always received my check in 14 business days or less, albeit from some bank in a part of the world I never will visit (like bank of Borneo....or Fiji SAVINGS & LOAN & COCONUTS)

Bovada is nothing like Casino Rewards. If you win at Bovada you get paid (as far as I know).
Casino Rewards have a long history of customer complaints.
There are many trusted casinos online but just as many bad ones. I would stay clear of Casino rewards.
