    Bovada giving $50 FREE money for sports/poker

    Got the email saying money is good till Oct 19th. At that time any unused bonus money will be returned to Bovada.

    Subject to 3x rollover


    out of the blue I checked account and its in there. What do u guys think about this?

    is it total scam? I mean it shows I can use on Sports too, so if I just chunk the whole thing on a college football game ML at +3000 and happend to win that is $600 3x50 would be 150 so worst case scenario would be $450 to me and I cash out...how could Bovada afford to do this?

    Not all books calculate fp's that way..u need to check their rules. Some books make u roll over the winnings from the fp, not the original fp amt.
    Also u want to check ur math. Last time I checked, a $50 bet @ +3000 would get u $1500, not $600.

    I have an account with them, but didn't get the same Promo...perhaps they sent this email only to their sharpest players

    It is free money to entice you to play there and hopefully end up depositing. I am a good customer there, paying five figures annually in poker rake alone, yet they never offer me any bonuses.

    it's actually cash and you simply need to wager $900 if you recieved $300. pretty sweet deal,, i need to deposit 1k here and if i lose just wait til they throw me free cash again.

    It'd be nice if bovado told people about this though.

    Heh, must be nice. I didn't receive anything. In fact, I haven't even received an email from these guys in a year even though I have my account set to "email me special offers."

    that just shows you what kinda of book Bovada is...I mean wouldn't you think as a Marketing manager that the word would spread out among players that some got the promo and the other ones didn't? Not that I need their f-king free play, but it's just a shitty way to treat their players.

    You might as lay down and take a week nap. Because it will likely be that long for you to get what they promise?

    I have cashed 4 times lifetime from them and as a small player, was usually under 500 when I cashed. Always, got my check via Fedex from them (they were bodog then)

    I emailed support and got response back saying the money was real money and only had a 3x rollover and that I had 2 weeks to use or any and all remaining would be sent back to book.

    To you guys that are players there that have not recieved the 50 bonus, I would check my spam and also email Bovada and ask WTF??

    Peace!
