If there is such a place and a God who seeks compliance, we'll be found deficient. So yep, bad place here we come. Same goes for most every other disincentive place offered by the other religions. On the other hand, if God were a cooler dude we'd get front row seats in the happy place.
It may also be the case that heaven and hell are esoteric and allegorical, in which case whatever benefit or penalty will be felt during life and paid in full before dying.
If God were as cruel, humorless and authoritarian as the worst sort of theists are fond of describing, the only acceptable stance would be noncompliance. What constitutes heaven and hell is largely up to us.
