Somebody explain rollover for me

[awhitejackson]

Never have gone with bonuses before, always seemed like an incentive to overbet...Plus Ive been going almost totally through a local for over a year and hes packing in till football.....Just signed in and got 25% bonus on 5 time rollover for deposit...I feel so dumb admitting this but I have no idea what the hell that means...Rather ask you guys than guy at Bookmaker right now...He is waiting on money to come through

Simplified, you have to bet (or rollover) your deposit 5 times before you can make a withdrawal. But just check the details - it might be 5x deposit and bonus or some other terms included. It always pays to make sure you know exactly what you're signing up to when you take a bonus.

Usually your deposit + bonus x rollover.

$1000 deposit + $250 bonus x 5=$6250 in bets before you could cashout.

So in this case if I put in 1000 and bet at least 5 times for 200 or so...then I can make a withdrwal???? What if I just doubled up say after 10 plays...I could not make a withdrawal???

important to mention that you can request that you dont recieve a bonus...which may be easier because sometimes you just cant reach rollover amount and end up going broke.

say you deposit 100 and you get a 20 bonus with 5x rollover you have to get up to 600(by any amount of bets) before you can withdrawl

[HedgeHog]

No. If you bet 200 five times then you've bet $1000-far short of the $6250 needed. You'll need over 30 $200 bets to meet your rollover. (assumes $1000 deposit, $250 bonus and 5x rollover).

Probably not. If you take the bonus, you have to play the full rollover. So, if it's 5x deposit, you have to make $5000 of wagers before you withdraw. If you don't want to be confined by the rollover, don't take the bonus.

Ouch maybe I should have declined that bonus

[AgainstAllOdds]

yea dude they can suck...sometimes you might get lucky and get a 3x but Ive seen some that are 15x...and its a crock of shit

Almost exactly what I said.

They aren't going to hold your funds hostage if you don't want the bonus, you'll just void the bonus if you'd like to cash out prior to completing your rollover terms.

[awhitejackson]

I called and turned down bonus.....I would feel lucky if I only doubled up...Five times isnt worth the measley bonus....They offered 10% 3x but declined that too....And Milwaukee just covered by 1 point so Ill take that as my bonus for today

thats really where my confusion was comin from......thanks for the info

you gotta be careful with this tho...if you bet with that bonus sometimes they will try to be assholes about it...say you get deposit 100 and get 20 bonus then you go make 120 bet...theycan say you shouldnt have bet with it...not that they will not allow you to take your money but might viod the bet and then take the bonus back.

I know. Since he mentioned $200 bets, I wanted to give him an idea of how many wagers are required.
