Pinny rollover terms?

[Foolosophy]

Better start off on the right foot here. I know that most of you guys would give your right hand to have Pinnacle back, and being the numero uno of bookmakers they probably don’t even need to offer any bonus to attract players.
Still, I’m a little puzzled over this sentence in their rollover terms - ” For Cash Bonus purposes, bets are defined as either the Risk or Win amount, whichever is smaller.”. So if the line is -200, and you risk 200 to win 100, only the 100 will count towards the rollover.
Could be me, but I haven’t come across this term elsewhere? Thanks

A lot of books do that for roll overs, or they restrict what you can bet for roll overs. For the Cris family of books if you bet $200 at -200 you get $100 credit for the roll over. At justbet you get 0 towards the roll over, there anything above -180 doesn't count towards the roll over. If you bet 180 at -180 they will credit you with the 180. I know Royal doesn't say much but they imply if you bet a lot of favourites they will consider you a bonus abuser. I never made a play there while clearing a bonus if it was greater than -125.

Always read the T & C before taking a bonus so your not surprised.

Using the smaller of the risk or win amount (as in here) isn't quite universal, but is used in more books than not.

Thanks guys. I haven't signed up with Pinnacle yet (one of the few places where I have to pay Danish tax), but I just hadn't heard of this rollover principle before. Could be that I primarily use EU-books, because I've always experienced the risk amount as counting. Greek, Canbet, and BetJam do count the risk amount only, if memory serves me right.
