Shark Casino has a nice 200% sign up bonus to $400, with a steep 30X(B+D) WR to go with it.

ATTENTION: As of August 26, 2006, it appears this bonus has become sticky (i.e. not withdrawable) if you play blackjack. At this time we don't recommend you complete this bonus since it isn't profitable.

What do I need?

$200 in a Neteller account that you can lose if you run very very unlucky. While statistically it is unlikely, it is still mathematically possible that you could lose every hand you play and go bust. That being the case, I think this program will work for most people who follow the instructions, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention the possible risk. Shark Casino has a "comp points" system that can help you track how many wagers you have made towards the WR.

Let's Get to it

To start on this one, you need to make a deposit to the casino. On this casino, you need to redeem a coupon before making your deposit. After you set up a real money account, go into the cashier and go into the "Redeem Coupon" tab. The coupon code for the 200% to $400 is WELCOME. It will look something like this:

Now you go to the deposit tab and it will look something like this:

Since you will be using Neteller, you click on the "DoughFlow" button on the right hand side and it will bring up a separate page that you will be depositing via Neteller on. After you do this, a confirmation screen will pop up with a phone number for you to call to finish processing of your deposit and to award your bonus. When I did this one, the number was 1-800-346-1697. They asked for my account name, and then about 2 minutes later I was in business with $600 to play on!

Since this one has such a high WR of $18,000, I started out with $5 bets to see how the software ran. This would mean I would need to play 3600 hands worth. If you want to maximize your chance of a profit, then betting less is safer than betting more, but with such a high WR, I don't anticipate many of you will grind it out at $1 bets. They do have a section in the cashier that says "Playthrough", but it is set initially for $10,800 which is for the keno and slots bonus. Since we are playing blackjack, it won't be accurate. They do have "comp points" that accumulate at a rate of 1 point for ever $10 played.

So once you accumulate 1800 comp points then your balance should move from the bonus section to the withdrawable section! Easy! You can also redeem the comp points by calling them for $18, but it has a 30X WR as well so I didn't mess around with it too much. If you want to redeem it after you request your cash out and see how much you can run the $18 up to, that is a fun way to do it. I think there is a 3x max cashout of the comp points cash so you can't go too crazy.

The software this casino uses is incredibly fast which makes it much more bearable to clear this huge WR. You can also go into the "Options" section once you start playing and change your card speed to maximum. The game we are playing on this one is called "Blackjack" and they hit soft 17 so it has a slightly different strategy chart than most. It also allows you to resplit, so make sure to do that if it comes up. Use our optimal strategy chart below while you play.

When I did this one, things were going well, so I spread to 2 hands of 6, but was prepared to drop my bets if I got down too low. Well, I got up to about $800, then I upped my bets to 2 hands of $10 until I finished it off. I ended up cashing out $708 which was a profit of $508 and was ahead of my expectation. Makes up for one of those Intercasino monthies I always bust on I guess LOL. The Expected Value on this casino is $400-$18,000*.005 or $310 and the CBW Time Index is 8.1.

Once you have requested your withdrawal, you need to either scan or fax a copy of your ID and a utility bill. They also require a one page form to be filled out and sent in with the identification documents. Check their web site to confirm the email address and/or fax numbers to use. They only process cashouts Monday-Friday so cashouts take a little while. Mine took about 3 full days to be processed.
