does playing only banker in live baccarat make bonus wagering look suspicious

so i've been grinding through some bonus requirements on a couple of the live baccarat tables and mostly just playing banker every round since the edge is better and honestly i don’t feel like mixing it up when the goal is just to clear the rollover. but then i started second guessing if the casino might flag this as weird since it’s kind of "optimal" and not really how most people play for fun. not sure if this kind of pattern gets their attention during bonus wagering.

curious if anyone here got hassled over playing almost all banker hands? i know some places are stricter than others but don’t want to get halfway through then have the bonus voided over “bonus abuse” or something dumb like that. does anyone throw in the occasional player or tie bet just to make things less obvious, or does that even matter? what’s your usual approach when clearing baccarat bonuses - am i overthinking this or is it a real risk?

I rode banker almost nonstop on a bonus once and got paid fine. Kinda hate that you found the cleanest grind first tbh.

Throwing in random Player/Tie to look “natural” is the part that looks cooked, lol. Same energy as dabbling a few Roulette spins to pretend you’re not grinding EV, the pattern isn’t subtle, the TERMS are the scammy bit half the time 😅 banker-only is the least weird thing here.

Banker’s fine. Tie is the tell 🙄

honestly if Banker is allowed under the Vega promo, I’d just stick to the rules and not overthink it

yeah I’d probably check Vega’s bonus terms first before worrying about the betting pattern

Yeah the part i’d never do is start sprinkling in tie bets just to cosplay as a recreational player, that’s how you turn a thin grind into a stupid one fast. Banker-only in live dealer baccarat is about the least weird thing on earth, half the table is doing some version of that when they’re not chasing dragons or whatever. If a room wants to be cute about “bonus abuse” they’ll do it off terms, not because you didn’t donate enough on player. I’ve cleared stuff hammering banker and the only time i got annoyed was when the live stream hiccuped and a bet got voided, not because the pattern looked too neat. Tie is a tax, i’m already getting bled enough lately without volunteering more

Only banker in live baccarat is the whole point, honestly. If they call that suspicious, they were hunting a reason anyway and I hate that they're allowed to do that
