Avoiding Casino Games
Several poker rooms where you can receive a free bankroll from YourPokerCash not only offer online poker but also offer online casino games. The poker rooms offer these casino games because they are highly profitable for the poker rooms. Successful online poker players know to avoid these house games. If these games were beatable, the poker rooms would not offer them. This is why you violate the terms and conditions of your YPC free bankroll if you play these casino games. Even if you win, you run the risk of being expelled from our free bankroll program. Playing casino games will likely disqualify you from receiving future free poker money from YourPokerCash.
House Edge
While online poker is a game that can be beat; online video poker, slots and table games are games that players cannot beat over time. These casino games have anywhere from a .5%-10% house advantage. For every $100 you wager, you will theoretically lose up to $10. As any online poker pro will tell you, playing these casino games is not a way to build your bankroll. Let’s use blackjack as an example.
Blackjack Odds
While blackjack is one of the better house games, it is still a house game. Every time you bet $100 you will lose about $.50. That is if you play basic strategy. This does not sound like much but it adds up quickly. It is easy to play 20 hands a minute of online blackjack. At just $10 a hand this means you will lose, on average, $1 a minute playing online blackjack. In less than an hour you will bust your entire YPC free bankroll and with variance you will likely lose it even faster.
Even if you are one of the few lucky players that have a winning session you will be tempted to play again to win even more. At some point the odds will catch up with you and you will lose your bankroll. If you search any poker forum you will find story after story of people that lost their entire bankroll playing casino games.
If you feel you might be tempted by these casino games, most of our partner poker rooms will allow you to opt out of the casino games. Simply email their player support and ask for all casino games to disabled from your account. Good luck at the poker tables and remember the long term success depends on your ability to avoid negative EV situations such as casino games.
