    First SBR Store purchase

    Hello boys!

    Pretty face Northcutt got subdued by Bryan Barberena a few hours back. What a win for me!

    I parlayed free plays from SBR Trivia into enough betpoints to get me some real cash. Please help the newbie to make the next step correctly.

    I was just looking at signing up with TheGreek or Sportsbetting. The following are relevant SBR Store purchase links:

    http://store.sportsbookreview.com/pr...k-Signup-Bonus
    http://store.sportsbookreview.com/pr...ek-100-Cash-5X

    http://store.sportsbookreview.com/pr...ting-100-FP-6x

    I fancy the free play as it is rather inexpensive. But I would like to make certain. Do I need a real money deposit to avail of the Sportsbetting free play? I am literate and I read the fine print. I am still asking the question to check twice before I do anything silly.

    Furthermore if I choose TheGreek can I deposit less than $100 equivalent? I don't mind that I get smaller bonus from the bookie and smaller bonus from SBR Store as per the link above. But could I deposit the very minimum and receive all of these: 100 per cent bonus from the book, 50 per cent extra from SBR and then $100 cash from SBR? If the answer is positive do I get to start wagering right after I deposit or should I expect to wait a few business days for SBR to do their part? And could someone please explain to me if rollover requirements are similar in both sportsbooks I am looking at? Can I wager very small amounts and choose any sporting event I fancy?


    • The rollover for this promotion is 5X.
    • Please allow 2-4 business days for the bonus to be credited by the sportsbook.


    Many thanks for any reply! SBR is now my favourite site lol

    I would like to advice you to deposit at least 100 usd if you choose The Greek because is extremely easy to clear the rollover requirements. You need to deposit at least 50 usd to get the 100 usd from sbr store and if you do it, you'll get: 50 usd(regular bonus) + 25(fdb) and 100 usd(store).

    In the scenario above you'll need to clear: 50 usd from fdb (4x) + 125 from SBR (5x).

    The Greek minimum: 2 usd
    www.sportsbetting.ag: 1 usd

    You can choose any sport

    About the rollover: there is no minimum odds requirement, however the rollover will be calculated using the lower of the risk or to win amount. For example, you wagered $10 to win $11, only the $10 will be counted for the rollover. Likewise if you should wager $25 to win $15 only the $15 will be counted for the rollover.



    The better option is by far The Greek. Sportsbetting is good if you have a sure bet and the rollover is bigger 6x.

    It will be better wait but..you'll lose betting days anyway.

    Thank you for replying, Lex_icon!

    This is just the type of poster I enjoy hearing from. I had no idea The Greek minimum is $2 and believe it or not this matters a good deal to someone like me! But with all the bonuses I can get a full $350 from my $100 deposit and have well over 10 "betting units" to wager. Please correct me if I got this wrong!

    Could someone advise if I should go ahead with my deposit and then request the extra deposit bonus as per this link
    http://store.sportsbookreview.com/pr...k-Signup-Bonus

    Or should I order this from the SBR Store first and only deposit then?

    Many thanks!

    I have gotten started on The Greek this morning. Put money in. Should I order the extra 50% Sign up Bonus now or wait a few days and place a few wagers? Any advice from the experienced SBR Store customers?

    My understanding is the part in bold says I need at least 16 wagers to complete the rollover for this first deposit bonus?

    Hi Pabonaparte,
    We are late here in the newbie forum but welcome to SBR. That report you linked to above is regarding an ongoing case with a different sportsbook. The founder of the Greek no longer operates theGreek.com sportsbooks.

    Regarding your rollover Q, that is there so that the players just dont bet both sides of the game at 2 different books and rinse and repeat. They are looking for real bettors. Hopefully you already received your answers but wanted to update your thread.

    Thanks, Bill Dozer!

    I am not quite certain if my tiny wagers qualify me as a real bettor but hopefully I manage to stick to my staking plan and hopefully come out on top after a few painstaking weeks or months of wagering lol

    So to check twice do I put in my order now or after the $100 bonus is rolled over? No wagers placed in account but they already sent me two emails. One of them is requesting to validate account. Is this standard because I expected to only have to validate and send paperwork when and if I have money I can actually withdraw?

    Ah, I meant real bettor as in you are gambling or taking a position on a side...regardless of the amount large or small. =) Some bonus hunters will play a bonus against another betting account and not gamble. Meaning, Bulls vs Celts and they take both.

    Yes, it is not unusual especially for sportsbook trying to maintain or achieve a license in a regulated market.


    You should request your bonus before you start playing. If you lost all your money youd likely be eligible for a 2nd bonus. If you won big, you cant usually ask to pad that with promo funds after the fact.

    SBRstore has some measures in place to combat fraud. We also ship items depending on your location. What coupon are you referring to?

    When ordering there was a field asking for a coupon. Screen number two or three.

    As long as you already got your regular bonus from the book, you can fire away. Your SBR store bonus should be there in a few days. Its manually done in batches by SBR Store and the sportsbook.

    All good now. They credited my bonus quite a while ago. No problem!

    So that bonus has come and gone. The Greek beat me up all right!

    I noticed their odds are often inferior to what 5Dimes have and I am looking into making a deposit to my islandcasino account. A large deposit. My largest betting deposit to date actually!

    Here is my question: do I deposit the full amount and then purchase this bonus from the SBR Store? Or should I deposit a small amount (it says minimum of 50) then request the bonus then deposit the large (500+) amount on which the bonus would be calculated?

    Hi Pab,
    It's a first deposit signup bonus so whatever you first deposit will be what this bonus is on. Put your account # in right after you get your deposit through and you will be good to go.

    Thanks again Bill Dozer! So just to make certain. I should deposit the large amount as my first deposit and not muck around with multiple transactions? And then go purchase the bonus at The Store?
