You don't like free money?

It’s not free money.

It certainly does. I can't imagine turning these offers down.

The only way it would make sense to turn most offers down is if you plan to deposit, make a couple bets, withdraw, and never deposit again.
It really is free money. And if used strategically it can give you an edge.

If you already have a balance, I wouldn't recommend taking bonuses on top.

I know a guy who had a decent sized balance at BetUS and they offered him another bonus, he took it, and then slashed his limits.

Now he has to complete this rollover at way reduced limits before he can even get out his original balance that was already rolled over.

Probably a non-issue at a book like BOL, but some books like BetUS do shady stuff like this.

Personally, I am rarely eligible for bonuses anymore.

Even if offered, I am hesitant.

Books can and do slash limits during rollovers.

It really isn't fair.

Fair would be reducing rollovers to the equivalent of what limits are reduced to.

It should be a standard type thing but it never happens and probably never will offshore.

BOL does not slash limits.
At BetUS, lean accordingly on your wagers so that if you rack up a balance there you are rewarded handsomely for it. Then if they slash limits and you have to bet the board every day for a week, you still come out ahead.

I've only had my limits slashed at skybook. I've taken bonuses routinely from just about every other book rated above a C and never had it happen anywhere else.
If there was a book that was slashing my limits I would just stop playing there.

Absolutely stop playing there but....if in the middle of a rollover, that really blows.

It's a shady practice that some of the lesser books use.

Betnow reload bonuses if you win.
Wagerweb. Win still get reload bonuses.
Just bet ? Not sure on reloads


These I love there bonuses. Rollover fair. Bonus not restricted like BetOnline and Youwager.


Just my opinion.

A freeplay bonus with restrictions has an exact cash equivalent. Why does everyone get hung up on this? You'd prefer a 20% cash bonus over a 500% freeplay bonus?

 

[Ace7550]

FP is worth about 50-70% cash depending on what the book allows you to bet it on.

Lol

Your not comparing apples with apples.

But yes cash bonus is always better.

25% cash 5x roll every time over 500% with a 50x roll

I see, so it's Rollphobia you have. If only there were a way to meet roll almost costlessly.

Yep bigger bonuses means bigger chance of problems getting to collect after all the work. Or lowering limits.

You have your opinion and I have mine.

Not to mention many books won’t give me a bonus anymore.

So if you are getting them you are losing.

 

[rolandcorts]

Big loser here =)

 

[Ace7550]

If you do it right and you aren't too greedy you can get endless bonuses from many books even if you are a lifetime winner. You just need to play the long game.
