Tropicana Harvest Sharepot Is Filled With $20K In Bonus Money

Welcoming the fall season is always fun. The carefree days of lolling at the beach, soaking up the sun are over, but now we can indulge in other delights like tailgating, apple picking, and sipping pumpkin lattes. And for Tropicana Online Casino players, this week you can add another activity to your must-do list. Play your favorite games to grab a guaranteed share of the $20K Harvest Sharepot!

How the Tropicana Harvest Sharepot Works

If you have been playing on NJ gambling websites for any length of time, you have probably entered more than your share of prize drawings, only to walk away empty-handed. You will see these types of promotions frequently. They’re very tempting because some of the prizes sound fabulous.

However, there are nowhere near enough prizes to go around to more than a very small percentage of all of the people participating. So, much more often than not, you have nothing to show for your time and effort. This can be very frustrating, particularly if it happens to you repeatedly.

However, Sharepots work differently. As the title of the offer implies, instead of holding a random drawing where only a lucky few participants will win prizes, the casino distributes a piece of the prize pool to everyone. In other words, everyone who participates and wagers at least the small minimum required shares in the bounty.

Of course, frequent Tropicana players know all about this casino’s Sharepots because they keep popping up repeatedly over the course of the year. However, Tropicana and its sister NJ gambling website, Virgin Casino, are the only two NJ online casinos that offer Sharepots. Therefore, for those of you who are new to Tropicana Online Casino or who are considering joining, this might be your first encounter.

Both Tropicana and Virgin tend to time their Sharepots in conjunction with a particular season or holiday and then give them an enticing name to fit the theme. This time, it’s a Harvest Sharepot. But don’t be fooled. While each Sharepot has a different name and may differ slightly in certain other minor details, they all follow the same basic concept.

Does everyone who participates in the Tropicana Sharepot get the same size prize?

New Tropicana online casino players are undoubtedly asking themselves this question. The answer is no. Much like casinos typically determine how many drawing entries each player earns based on play, Tropicana Online Casino does the same in determining how many Sharepot tickets each player gets. Only your play during the promotion period counts. But the more you play during that limited time period–up to the specified cap, as indicated below–the bigger your share of the Sharepot!

The Tropicana Harvest Sharepot is up for grabs now but not for long, How to guarantee yourself a share before it’s gone

The Tropicana Harvest Sharepot is open to all registered Tropicana Online Casino NJ players. You don’t necessarily need to reside in New Jersey to participate, but you do need to be physically situated in the state while playing.

The period for earning tickets for the Sharepot started on Mon., Sept. 27, 2021 and continues through 11:59 p.m. on Thurs., Sept. 30, 2021.  For every $100 that you wager on any given day of those four days on any Tropicana online casino game, you will earn one Sharepot ticket, up to a maximum of five tickets per day if you wager $500 or more.

Therefore, if you started playing on Monday and wager $500 or more on all four days, you will earn a total of 20 tickets, the maximum number possible. If you start on the second day (Tuesday), you can earn up to 15 tickets.

If you can afford to bet $500 per day each day of the promotion, go for it. This will guarantee that you get the biggest Sharepot share possible. But if this entails too much money for you, don’t worry. One of the nice things about this promotion is that it can be tailored to fit any size budget. So, as long as you can manage betting at least $100 on at least one qualifying day, you’re good to go. If you only bet the minimum, your share of the Tropicana Harvest Sharepot will be meager, but you will still get something.

Keep in mind, however, that you cannot carry your play over from one day to the next. So, in order to qualify for a piece of the Sharepot, you must be able to wager at least $100 on one day.

How Tropicana will determine each player’s share of the Sharepot

Even though the prize pool has been preset at $20,000 (all in the form of bonus money), it is impossible to know beforehand what any of the individual prizes will be. That will depend on both the total number of participants and each participant’s fair share. This involves some complicated math, but nothing for you to worry about. Tropicana Online Casino has been running similar Sharepots seamlessly for more than long enough to handle the task with ease.

Here is what the casino will do in a nutshell:

• Add up the total number of Sharepot tickets that each player earned during the promotion period.
• Determine the total number of tickets for all players combined.
• Divide each player’s individual total by the grand total to get the individual percentages.
• Multiply each player’s percentage of the total number of tickets by $20,000 (the total amount of bonus money in the Sharepot). The resulting figure is the amount of Bonus Money the player will receive.

For example, let’s say you have 15 Sharepot Tickets and all of the participating players combined have 10,000 tickets. That will make your percentage of the total .15%. The next step is to multiply .15 by $20,000. The result is $30. Therefore, Tropicana will give you a bonus of $30.

Distribution of prizes

On Fri., Oct. 1, the casino will complete its determination of each participant’s fair share of the $20K Sharepot. Therefore, players can expect to see the bonus money in their account by the following day. But allow up to three business days in case of technical difficulties.

Additional terms and conditions

Unfortunately, all prizes from this promotion are in the form of bonus money rather than cash. They work exactly like any other bonus money that existing Tropicana Online Casino players receive.

You have up to 30 days, which is much more time than any player will need, to meet the casino’s only additional requirement–to wager the bonus 1x on any game of your choice. Then, as soon as you do, whatever you win, but not the bonus itself, is yours to keep.

If you win nothing or very little, naturally, you’ll be disappointed. But if it’s any consolation, Tropicana offers new promotions every week with new opportunities to win more bonus money, so you can keep trying and hope for better luck next time.

But there’s a downside even if you do win. Unlike with traditional bonuses, you can’t try to parlay your winnings into a bigger win. As soon as you finish playing the bonus 1x, the casino removes it from your account permanently.

The bottom line: Is the Tropicana Harvest Sharepot worth your time?

Like virtually all promotions you will find on NJ gambling websites, the Tropicana Harvest Sharepot has some great features along with some other features that are not great. After weighing the pros and cons in the brief summary that follows, you will be in a better position to decide if you want to give it a try.

What could be better

• High daily wagering requirements to qualify

I liked the Sharepot promotions more when the casino awarded one Sharepot ticket (up to a maximum of five) for each $50 wagered per calendar day rather than each $100 per calendar day. Given that the individual prizes are small, a lower wagering requirement to enter offers players more bang for their buck. In addition, some players might now find themselves giving in to the temptation to exceed their usual budget and comfort level. As a result, in their eagerness to scoop up more than a minuscule share of the Sharepot, they wager far more than they can afford.

• Sticky bonus

$20,000 may seem like a lot of money. But because everyone participating will ultimately get a share of it, each individual share will, in all likelihood, be quite small. Moreover, once the bonus itself is taken away, and the recipient is left with only the winnings (if any), the size of the prize will be even smaller. The additional restriction that you can only bet the bonus once further reduces the potential for profit.

Great features

• Even with the higher wagering requirements, still affordable to most players

No deposit is required, and the minimum wagering requirements, even though double what they used to be, remain affordable for most players.

• Not for high rollers only

Many drawings place no restriction at all on the number of entries per player. This gives players with huge bankrolls who are able and willing to wager tremendous amounts of money daily a decided advantage.

However, Tropicana limits the number of Sharepot tickets that any individual player can earn to just five per day. This prevents high rollers from hogging the lion’s share of the Sharepot exclusively for themselves. It gives all players an opportunity to earn their fair share.

• Guaranteed prizes for everyone

When you enter a drawing, you’re up against very high odds that you won’t win a prize. In comparison, what are the odds of entering a Sharepot and walking away empty-handed? Assuming that you follow the rules and meet the eligibility requirements, the probability of winning nothing is zero!

Summary and conclusion

Based on all of the foregoing, I think most of you will decide that the pros for the Tropicana Harvest Sharepot outweigh the cons. Also, whatever the outcome, being privy to a piece of a huge Sharepot with the added lure of a Mystery Bonus—since you don’t know what the size of your prize will be until the very end—should be a ton of fun.

But the clock is ticking, so if you haven’t started already and want to grab a share of the Tropicana Harvest Sharepot before it’s gone, there’s not a minute to waste.
