Free?..that was the 10-12 dollar sign up promo you gave sbr posters a month back?..that was great and much appreciated..

So- I got the scratch ticket in the mail today where " Everyone`s a winner"..

WOW!!!

a 50 dollar free play?..Really?

Oh..the little words at the bottom say you must deposit 300 bucks first

this is a glorified deposit bonus..not a free bet..If you dont deposit 300 bucks ya dont get shit?..Or ..forgive if I am wrong

To the young buck in marketing who thought up this brilliant scheme..Its older than the crust on your underwear

You guys look like a good outfit ....This is bad for bizz in my opinion

Good Day-U7

Hang ups about their bonus program

I think its misleading

Free was the 500 bucks Heritage gave me this year..Free is all the money BetPheonix, WagerChief and BetMania have given away here..etc

Is there a such thing as "free" anymore? I don't think so.

Very bad for their bizz. This type of stuff pisses people off.

Did it say $50 free-play, or $50 'free bet'? They are two very different terms.

If it said 'free-play', then it's not false advertising. It's the type of bonus, as your stake amount is not returned after winning a free-play, which separates it from a 'cash bonus'.

Either way, literal 'free bets' often carry much higher rollover terms as there's no investment on the part of the player. If you'd be willing to scan the flier and post it in this thread, I could give you a better opinion.

It says free bet, but it also says "minimum deposit required..." in the small print...

I think what Unicorn is saying and I am sure most will agree is that we are tired of the sneaky misleading adverts. It is enough trouble being a player in this game. There shouldn't be snakes trying to mislead us.

Good posts.

Free bet should be a free bet. Their marketing dept. likely attaches the fine-print in smaller text just to entice a player to call to inquire, so they can rattle off some other deposit incentives.

It's not necessarily a negative reflection on the book itself. Those watching the lines or putting in long hours to service players aren't the same folks designing snail mail fliers.

this pissed me off also, to the point that youwager will not be on my deposit list of online books for football

misleading

Yep, always a catch

Then you are missing out on a pretty good book. They pay. They have good odds on parlays and teasers. They have a great mobile app.

You wager has no value. Please tell me what their value is? You will get paid? I mean they call you every 13 minutes. They give you 50.00 freeplay on 300.00. Deposit at betJamaica and at the very least your going to get 10% cash. That is already better than a 50.00 freeplay. Why would anyone play with these clowns?
