Reason #5 why the Wizard likes Bodog:
Intelligent Bonuses
Many online casinos offer huge signup bonuses, but there's a catch. Buried in the fine print is that play on the most popular games doesn't count towards earning the bonus. It's common for blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps, and Jacks or Better to be excluded. Sometimes everything except slots. And that's if you can even find the terms and conditions. Many casinos put their 100% bonus in big flaming letters but make you hunt all over the site to find the rules. But Bodog allows play on all games to count towards the wagering requirement. It's that simple. Just no opposite betting. All casinos ought to be as easy as Bodog about this. The bonus offer itself is simple too: on your first deposit, they'll give you an extra 10%. If you deposit $100, you'll wind up with $110 in chips or tokens. Finally, in the unlikely event that Bodog feels you've been abusing their bonuses they won't seize your winnings, like some other casinos. In the worst case scenario they will politely tell you that they will not be offering you any future bonuses but you are welcome to keep playing and keep everything you have made already.

Twice Casino on Net has offered promotions in which winning blackjacks paid 2-1 for a period of two hours. This is a very generous promotion, giving the player edge of 2.06%!. There are two basic strategy deviations under this promotion. If the player draws an ace to a split 10 under normal rules it counts as a blackjack and pays 3-2. Under the promotion it also pays 2-1, which makes it marginally advantageous to split tens against a dealer 5 or 6. Remember to do this under promotion rules only. Finally, many players have reported being overpaid on this promotion. I speculate they are also incorrectly count drawing a 10 to a split ace as a blackjack. However this little icing on the cake is not factored into the 2.06%. Casino on Net has also twice offered a promotion in which any hand consisting of 5 cards or more and hasn't busted gets a bonus. The bonus for 5 cards is half the bet, for 6 cards the bonus equals the bet, for 7 cards the bonus equals five times the bet, and for 8 cards the bonus equals 50 times the bet. Casino on Net staff tells me that the rule does count on hands resulting from a split. Unfortunatley for this promotion the software automatically stands on a soft 21. If the player were to make perfect composition dependent strategy designed for this promotion he would have an edge of 0.55%. According to my calculations the following basic strategy is designed for this promotion.
