Rollover clarification + what are your experiences?

[Capybara]

I haven't done too many of these free plays... but the idea of having to "roll over" your bet EIGHT times (using BetPhoenix as an example) seems kind of excessive/impossible.

So if I understand this correctly, say you get a $50 free play, so let's say you hit a +100 bet with it and now have $50 real dollars in the account (since the free play bet money was never really yours). Okay, well, now you have to wager $50 EIGHT more times, or any combination totaling $400, in order to then withdraw that $50 you won, assuming you made it safely? Geez!! Also, whatever else you've got in there at that point is yours too, right?

Kinda hard to excited about an offer like that! (But better than nothing I suppose.)

I think the Bet Jamaica free play is better because it is 6x roll over and that is easier to win there I do believe.

Why are you playing a +100 bet..... that's not where the value of these things are. A free play should be worth about 70% of it's value in cash (depending on the rules of the FP) Big dogs my friend is where the value is.

20, you'll have to explain yourself please with an example. Where do you come up with 70%?

I was hoping to hear some people's actual specific true examples of how they eventually cashed out their free plays.

usually when you bet a free play, let's say $50 to win $50, the free play winnings go into the cash balance and the $50 risked amount goes away.

if you take a 100% free play and you deposit $100 and the rollover is 10X. Basically you will need to wager the $200 10X or $2000 in bets before you can cash out.

However, in most cases the lower amount is usually calculated for the rollover. If you bet $100 to win $80, the $80 counts towards the $2000 rollover in the example above. **** versa, if you bet $80 to win $100, the $80 will count towards the rollover amount.

Best thing to do IMO is simply call a VIP host or CS rep at the book you are considering and let them explain to you. Not all books do it exactly the same.
