    That was part of my question though and why I do not want to take the bonus, particularly with such high rollovers.
    However, do you believe that not taking the bonuses gets you flagged as a potential Professional and why you were limited/banned?

    The article suggested if you refuse to take bonuses, that raises a red flag for them. I personally don't care for the bonuses based on the rollover requirements.

    If I refuse to take the signup bonus, in your view, will I be targeted as a "professional gambler"?
    a good book will not "penalize" you because you did not take a bonus. most people hate the rollovers and they can't get mad at that.

    Was banned outright by Youwager, WagerWeb, and BetPhoenix for merely winning. Had limits cut (for certain or all types of bets) for merely winning at every other prominent offshore book besides Bookmaker. The only book that ever accused me of taking shots was 5dimes (but Tony was full of it)

    I've never had a book say it was suspicious that a player has not taken a bonus during any complaint case.

    And they're WAY more likely to ban or collar you quickly for winning if you took a bonus
