In the competitive world of online casinos, most offer an incentive to sign up in the form of a sign up bonus. More often than not, the bonus is a 100% of your first deposit up to a certain amount.

For example:

Sign up and deposit £100 and receive an instant £100 bonus"

Wagering requirements (WR)

Of course, to make this fair, and feasible for the casinos firms, there are wagering or "rollover" requirements attached to the bonus. This can be anywhere from £100 to £4000, depending on the terms of the particular offer. For example: Bet £5 and win, Bet £5 and lose, Bet £5 and win and you have wagered £15 in total. The casinos want what the average punter is expected to do: waste away the bonus and their initial deposit.

How to beat the WR

However you are not the average punter! By playing the perfect blackjack system you play statistially by following a table which ensures you make the best possible decision on every hand - lowering the casinos house edge to around 3%. This means that when playing over a period of time you can expect to lose 3% of your deposit. After meeting the rollover requirement and (probably) losing 3% of your deposit you can cash out the bonus amount +/- any winnings or losses incurred.

Proceed with care

Due to the nature of the game it is possible to lose your deposit and bonus before meeting the rollover requirements although the chances of winning are greatly in your favour - especially if you use lower stakes of around £1 or £2
