Does This Online Blackjack Promotion Make the Game Positive for the Player

Receive $1 back for every $100 played on Casino table games. That's it. The online blackjack game has pretty good rules, only about 0.5% house edge. What would be best way to play this game?

Is the $1 back a refund (cash), or bonus money with a play-through requirement, or free bet?

Funny thing is I thought there was a bug in the program at first, as every once in a while it would give me an extra dollar. Then I reviewed all the betting hands, and I did see it was giving me the extra dollar. If there is a play thru requirement it is only once.

Here is the offer:
Offer 1: Get $50 in DK Dollars on every $1,000 placed in Sportsbook settled wagers up to $2,000 DK Dollars! Offer 2: Receive $1 back for every $100 played on Casino table games and $2 back for every $100 played on Casino slots up to $1,000 DK Dollars for both! Sportsbook Quick Terms: - User must have $1K in settled cash handle to be eligible to receive the $50 in DK Dollars. - The maximum DK Dollars that can be claimed is $2,000. - Each qualifying bet must have minimum odds of 250 or greater (e.g. -200, +150, etc.). - Excludes additional free bets, cash-out bets, voided bets, and odds boosts. -Must be physically located in MI/CO/WV. Casino Quick Terms: - Total handle must equal a minimum of $100 on table games and/or slots. - Place qualifying bets between 7/1/2021 and 7/7/2021 11:59pm EST. - Only handles placed after opt-in will qualify. - The maximum DK Dollars that can be claimed is $1,000 for both. - Must be physically located in MI/NJ/WV.

Seems like a pretty simple answer, no? Flat bet $100 a hand, 24/7 for the rest of your life. If you can't do that, get as close to doing that as possible. The 0.5% house edge comes, of course, with variance. But the 1% rebate on all your action doesn't. It's a constant.

Naturally, the site won't tolerate your action for very long. And, of course, there's the normal caveat with all online games: they might cheat you so that you don't win anything at all. Worth the risk? I can't answer that. But, if legit, a 0.5% profit on a huge volume of bets could amount to a substantial windfall. My guess: before that would happen, they would bar you or kill the promotion.

I don't think they will cheat because the games are regulated by the State of MI. I did pretty well on this game yesterday, but today I was doing good and I then raised my bets and got killed. The dealer couldn't lose. I can't make very large bets because VIP Preferred only gave me a rolling credit line of $2,500 over 7 days. The promotion only lasts one more day anyway. However, the frosting on the cake is at the same time you can make money on the "leader boards" they have. Pretty easy to qualify for a $50 bonus. Top prize is $1,000.
