#108in my experience, half the players take bonuses and half don't. No group cashes out more than the other. It's very close over a period of time.Comment -

Here's what I've seen in almost 10 years in the off shore industry.
- The majority of player's that don't take bonuses decline them because just want to get paid fast, without any restrictions and are bigger depositors. They tend to play less games during the week but place bigger bets.
- Players who always take bonuses generally deposit more often but smaller amounts. They play consistently night in and night out and play smaller bets.
I get both sides of the strategy believe me.
I seen guys that wouldn't have cashed out anything if the bonus money didn't bail them out and helped them get on a roll. Likewise, I have seen guys take a bonus and hit several bets immediately but never cashed out because the rollover wasn't met before they lost it.
Here is a thought. If your deposit a dime, are you gonna cash out a dime? $800? $1200? More often than not, the answer is no. You are either gonna lose the $1000 or turn it into $2000, $3000 or whatever figure you want to say. If you do, you will almost always meet the rollover and usually by more than is necessary.
I know one fact for sure. There is no right or wrong way when deciding bonus or no bonus.

#116I always try to deposit with a bonus, don't care about the rollovers. I like staying with the same bookie for long runs, so rollover has never been a problem for me.Comment -

#120I take them with most places. Hey, thishobby is a marathon, not a sprint and if you aren't going to stay with a book long enough for at least 5X, what are you doing there in the first place ??Comment -

#121Matchbook beats bonuses, otherwise bonuses are great they lower the juice give you more betting ammo. Unless you like to just bet and if you win withdrawal, then just don't accept the bonuses.
Bookmaker/DSI payout fast and you have to request the bonus there. So I'd give them a try either way, request the bonus if you plan to gamble for a little while or just don't request it deposit and bet and if you win cashout. By the way their poker room is soft as hell, definitely worth checking out.Comment
