Live casino: dealer tables and bonus rules
Live casino streams real tables — dealers, physical cards and wheels — to your phone or computer. You bet through the interface and watch the result on video. It is a different experience from virtual games, slower and more social, with its own treatment in bonus rules: in many promotions, live tables count little or nothing toward wagering.
Which tables are available depends on the platform's catalogue; this page describes the common formats and does not claim which tables Jonbet offers.
Common formats
| Game | How you bet | Bonus note |
|---|---|---|
| Roulette | Numbers, colours, dozens | Covering most outcomes may be banned with a bonus |
| Blackjack | Decisions against the dealer | Contribution is usually low |
| Baccarat | Player, banker or tie | Betting both sides may be banned |
| Game shows | Wheel or board with multipliers | Treatment varies by promotion |
Why contribution is low
Tables such as blackjack and baccarat have a small house edge when played well, and some bets almost cancel each other out. To stop wagering being cleared at minimal expected loss, terms assign low percentages or exclude the category. Illustrative example, not a Jonbet condition: 1,000 of wagering at 10% contribution for live casino requires 10,000 in table bets. At 0%, no live bet moves wagering at all. See game contribution.
Table limits and pace
Each table has its own minimum and maximum bet. With a bonus active, the promotion's maximum bet applies too — and the lower of the two rules. Live rounds are slower, which helps with time control, but side bets and speed tables raise volume without you noticing.
Side bets
Many live tables offer side bets with bigger payouts and lower odds. They raise your total stake per round without it being obvious on screen. With an active bonus, add the main bet and side bets together to check the total stays within the promotion's maximum bet.
Playing live without a bonus
For players who love live tables, depositing without a bonus is usually simpler: no wagering, no promotion limit, no risk of breaking a betting rule. The decision is made in the cashier, before the deposit — see how to deposit.
