    listed just under your balance. that would be really neat. then you can always know exactly what u have to do to cash out. a book that offered a simple thing like that would put them ahead of so many other books

          is more cheaper for them to have live chat and you contact them, to pay a programmer to do that

              what's the point there ?

              they are like Pinny with a one time bonus, otherwise they will limit you to $50.

              betjam could sure use with their free bet every 100 plays. I bet they have millions in unclaimed free bets.....and want it that way.

                Players monitoring rollover implies cashout, which they don't want. Why make it easily accessible?

                But I totally agree, I wish I knew my rollover at all times, but I don't.

                  thats what im talking about. it takes them at least 10 minutes each time a person asks where they are for a rollover. i ask about once a month, but i suspect some ppl maybe a few times a week. talking hundreds of hours a year for the bigger books.

                    Because the goal of the book is not to make sure you know you hit your rollover and request a payout. Their goal is to see your balance go to zero.

                        Good idea kolzig. These books don't want you to know these types of things it seems.

                          Same reason you don't see clocks in casinos. They don't want you to notice that it's time to go.

                            i know but if one major book broke thru and tried it out it would attract some ppl i bet
