I tried whoring Starluck casino (based on twoplustwo's suggestion). They offer a 100 dollar bonus with 1600 dollars wagered. The average ammount lost is around 38 dollars, so the expected profit is 68 dollars.
Around my 1500th dollar wagered (using 2 dollar bets) I busted out for a net loss of 100 dollars. Is this common or was I doing something wrong?

very, very run-of-the-mill
I've busted out a dozen times myself. Actually, I also went less well than expected: having done Planetluck, Starluck, Aceclub for an EV of about +$300, I cashed out with only $100.
But then I've been doing better than expected on Cryptos and WAY ahead on sticky bonuses
Wouldn't worry about it if you've been playing proper blackjack strategy. Are you also making $2 bets only? Clear starluck, casino on net, and bet365, and if you're still down, then come back and cry to me (trust me, it won't happen)

Salsa - Do you play blackjack or some other game in order to clear the bet365 bonus? In case what chart do you use?

There are play charts for BJ at WizardOfOdds.com.
Busting Happens, but you can make bank between the busts. While your bankroll is small, try to keep BJ bets 1% of the bonus amount, or less -- more work, less variance.

from memory I played blackjack surrender
check the T&C to see if they still allow it
wizardofodds.com and look for the proper strategy table but it's a fairly standard game so you're not going far wrong playing basic strategy. Surrender 16 v 9, 10 A and 15 v 10
That said, I've been fortunate enough to never bust out a non-sticky blackjack bonus. I've busted stickies and video poker bonuses

I did CON, Planetluck, Starluck, AceClub for a profit of $0. I did CON way back when without a chart. But, I used the right charts for the other 3. Deposited 100 on each. Lost all on Planet and AceClub. But made $200 on Starluck. In fact at Starluck, I started dipping into my own money and stuck with it and hit a hot streak to go up $200. The first 3 are worth playing since the WR is low. AceClub sucks. WR was way too high. I was up for a while and then the dealer fell in love with 21 any which way they could get it. I was betting $5 a pop. I suggest everyone try the first 3. Just don't be dumb and dip into your own money like I did.
If you go back to Starluck and Planetluck periodically, they throw some free money into your account. You can then blow through that.
Any other sites that have comparable WR to Starluck (not sticky)? I think it's a good way to get your bankroll up if you are disciplined. Plus, it's fun and a good change of pace from NLHE.

This is the STANDARD FORMULA for BUSTING OUT as far as I know. 
If you're putting in $100 and getting a $100 bonus, you should bet $1, ($2 tops) per hand to keep variance in check. If you're after the casino's bonus money, you want your losing streaks to cost you as little as possible.

A very good way, but you gotta be disciplined. :P
Yes, there are tons of cashable casinos. I recommend PM-ing EEEEE because he's just so darn willing to help (see sig). There are plenty of others here full of knowledge too.
