On a standard bonus...say you make a deposit of $100 for 100% up to $100 at 10x = $2000...i got that part.
1. Do i usually get to play with the $100 bonus + the $100 deposited or is it standard practice to just play with the $100 you deposited?
2. If you can play with the $100 bonus (if this is just in sticky cases then just let me know) too, lets say your balance goes from the $200 (D+B) down to $150...can you get your original $100 out and run?
3. Do you have any idea, just in bonus earning alone, how much one can earn per hour playing at certain increments? Im sure this varies alot from site to site and deal to deal...but if you know some approx $p/hr numbers for some basic beginner deals...i would be interested to see what a newbie would expect to bring in per hour if they broke even.
Thanks...im sure there are more questions to come
Ok, for your First Comment About Sticky Bonuses. Although there are many non-sticky bonuses, left, I would say close to 80% of all bonuses offered now are sticky in nature. A sticky bonus means that you cannot withdraw the bonus amount when you cash out. The bonus amount is automatically taken from your account when you cash out.
The reason why sticky bonuses are so good, is that the bonus match percentages are usually very high. When you get a very high bonus you have the opportunity to raise your betting units higher than you normally would. Let's say you went to Golden Palace for instance. They are offering a 300% Match up to $300 Free! You deposit $100, giving yourself a $400 bankroll. This is a huge bankroll for such a little deposit! You have the opportunity to make large bets and win more money while only risking $100 of your own money.
As for the rules when playing: In the above situation, if you had a $400 bankroll at Golden Palace, if you go below $400, this is your deposit amount that is taken out first. So if met wagering requirements and wanted to cash out what you had left, and you only had $350 in your account, you would only be able to cash out $50.00. I hope this clarifies your question.
About the earning, I couldn't tell you how much you can earn, that depends on many different factors. Bankroll is a huge factor, the more you have, the more you can earn. Some casinos are offering ridiculous $1000 bonuses if you deposit $3k. That is a tremendous bonus for a high roller. Another big factor would be your discipline.
