The original 2017 report
Original reporting follows. Offers, event dates, product details and opinions are historical. Old outbound links are shown as text.
This Friday both Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes are offering free blackjack hands for every ten hands played at either site.
The promotion will go from 7:00pm through 10:00pm Eastern time and will see players getting a free hand of blackjack for every ten hands played. The value of the free hand will be averaged over the course of the ten previous hands played. Winnings on those hands will be subject to a 15x playthrough before they can be cashed out.
The deal appears to be good for several types of blackjack on both sites, but it should be noted that blackjack games in the standard Intertops casino are not eligible for the promotion. You must play at Intertops Poker of Juicy Stakes to get in on the action.
A statement put out by Intertops quoted a manager as saying: “Playing a few hands of Blackjack is a great way to relax after a hard week. Playing some of those for free is even better!”
Read a little deeper
Read the conditions, not just the headline
A headline reward is only part of a promotion. The useful details in a historical offer are how a player qualified, which games counted, how the reward was calculated and what had to happen before a withdrawal. Read the original figures as a record of that campaign, not as a bonus available to claim.
- Eligibility
- Look for invitation, account, location and qualifying-game conditions.
- Reward
- Separate cash, bonus credit, a prize draw and a complimentary hand.
- Restrictions
- Find the expiry, benefit cap and playthrough terms reported at the time.
Does a headline bonus amount tell you what could be withdrawn?
No. Compare the type of reward with the qualifying and withdrawal conditions. Where the old report omits a condition, treat it as unknown; do not fill the gap with an assumption.
