Bookmaker - Holiday Bonus

[Teamprofit101]

Bookmaker has an option for a special bonus for the holiday....

Deposit $300 - Get 300%
25% Sports + 100% Casino + 175% Poker

Has anyone taken advantage of this yet?

I've noticed by reading through the forum that sbr reviews are a bit biased, so I would like to know from members of bookmaker, what do you guys rate it?

Depositing my $300 is half of my bank roll and they have a 4x rollover requirement so my money is going to be stuck in one bookie for a while....I just want to make sure they aren't closing shop soon

Thanks for any information

[Powderguy]

it's essentially a $75 sports freeplay, $300 in their bonus casino, and i'm not sure how the poker bonus actually worked.

They are a good book, but for me 5dimes is better, not sure what bonuses they would have though

[doublej95]

bookmaker is good but I have had to always go to live chat and ask for the bonus to be credited.

[Teamprofit101]

I'm on live chat with them right now asking for more information, they are now saying that the rollover is 6x

[Optional]

I needed a new book for pro renewal and took that bonus about 2 weeks ago.

They give you $300 in the bonus casino, but you need to turn over $24000 before you get any profit. Not a lot of chance of making anything, although I'm about 1/4 way through rollover and still have almost 600 bucks, so maybe it is possible.

Poker bonus is only worth anything if you play a lot of poker. Basically you get credited $1 for every $1 in rake you contribute to the site.

So really, you are getting a $75 freeplay for the bonus if you aren't into poker. Not bad, but nothing to get excited about bonus wise.

Main reason I took it was because I could also grab the $250 new depositors cash in the SBR store. http://store.sbrforum.com/products/3...r-New-Accounts

I have had to have more chat sessions with bookmaker in the last 2 weeks than all other book combined in the last 2 years.

Make sure you understand the rules there before you do anything teamprofit.

[Teamprofit101]

ok so i just finished chatting with them....Key points of conversation

• 25% sportsbook bonus with a 6-time rollover required
• The 100% casino bonus is up to a maximum $300 bonus with a 40-time rollover required
• Craps, roulette, pai gow and baccarat action does not apply toward rollover
• The 175% poker bonus is up to a maximum $1,000 bonus with a 10-time play-through required. Receive $1 cash out of your bonus balance for every 10 qualified rake hands played
• Poker bonus rules apply
• Poker bonus expires after 30 days

The rest of the conversation is me mainly complaining that the promo says 4x rollover and they are telling me 6x rollover. I asked if they can meet me halfway with 5x rollover and they wouldn't budge.



lol it was worth a try....


Optional, I already have bookmakers account so I couldn't take advantage of the SBR pro


I'm worried more about the sportsbook money, I could care less of the poker money lol, doesn't mean I won't play though


I never payed attention to rollover requirements before....I normally just play and lose my money lol, I just started to think about actually winning because of things I've read at this forum and other places lol.


So is there anything else that I should know that I might have missed?(noob assistance)



Thanks to everyone commenting on this topic by the way......

[LordVodka]

When I got the bonus they told me I had to pick between getting 25% sportsbook freeplay or the bonus for the casino. It's misleading when they say 300%.

Don't worry about the rollover if you plan to win. Sounds like you might be surprised how fast you can turn it over.

[Teamprofit101]

I asked them in live chat and they told me you receive all of them... also Optional signed up and received all the bonuses

LordVodka, you should complain about this

[LordVodka]

Then they ****** me cause I was told on the live chat that I had to pick one or the other. I just figured I didn't read the fine print.


NVM - just checked and I have 300 dollars of freeplay for the casino. I'm gonna waste it on blackjack, the rollover is 24000.00 required.

[LordVodka]

The only reason I thought I got screwed is cause the live chat person told me I had to choose.

[LordVodka]

Do you guys think these bonuses are worth it? Right now my rollover played is 2029 and I need 24000. I'm only 8% there.

[kfranz31]

roll overs tie you money up way too long in my opinion

[LordVodka]

3135/24000 right now

Get 730 in the casino. 13% there.

[yisman]

They often have these and they're not that good due to immense rollover.

Poker I don't know how to value. You have to play it to release the bonus of course.

Casino you get 100%, but casino chips are probably only worth like 40% or even less, IMO. I've won through contests several of the casino bonuses at DSI and I've cashed out maybe twice out of seven times. Most often you'll lose it all before completing 40x (or even 30x).

You get a 25% freeplay.

So $75 freeplay let's say has around a $50 value (higher if played optimally, but obviously not $75 in any case).
$300 casino bonus, having a value of maybe $120

and then poker.

I did the GO300 one and that was costly, because I had a withdraw request from them from beforehand that they never processed, and they refused to process it after I deposited unless I waived the bonus.

Then I lost all my money there. Now I'm down a bunch to DSI instead of being up $2600.

[LordVodka]

They gave me 300 in casino bonus and the rollover is 24000. Let's say by some miracle I meet that rollever, do I keep the 300 they initially gave me or do I keep whatever I built it up to?

I don't think you get to keep it... but i'm not sure.

SO I deposited the $300 and i'm ready to go, my first bet -9 1/2 Heat 1.91

[TheAntFather]

What game in the casino are you playing LordVodka?

[LordVodka]

I'm playing BJ right now. The good thing is that don't let you bet more than 50 a hand otherwise I would have bet it all and lost it. I'm almost there.

[yisman]

if you meet the rollover you keep whatever's left.

If you miraculously can turn $300 into $1,000 after 40x rollover, then you get 1000 dollars placed into your account.

yeah, limits are low when using the bonus casino. Limits are higher in the real casino, which is how I've lost thousands at DSI.

[LordVodka]

Hahahaha! I would love to bet it all in one hand and get it over with. How much are the casino limits in Bookmaker?

[yisman]

At DSI, which should have the same rules, I believe it was $300 limit per hand.

Nope. Only profit above $300.

[yisman]

When I did it I kept whatever was left.

So if I completed rollover with only 100 dollars left, I kept the 100.

[TheAntFather]

I just lost the $300 Casino Bonus in one day. GL guys, I hope y'all get something out of it.

lol what games did you play?

I haven't used the casino yet, and my first bet for the heat lost(pure B/S, the heat should have won by more points)

[Optional]

When I did it I kept whatever was left.

So if I completed rollover with only 100 dollars left, I kept the 100.

They must have changed it.

"Once the rollover requirements are met, ONLY the winnings will be credited to your Bookmaker account."

[yisman]

or I guess DSI has different rules

that doesn't even make sense to only have winnings, considering that less than 20% of people would have winnings above $300.

Yeah agree. Makes it multiple times tougher to win anything.

[yisman]

DSI's bonus is of course identical:

The 100% casino bonus is up to a maximum $300 bonus with a 40-time rollover required on the deposit amount plus the bonus amount. Craps, roulette, pai gow and baccarat action does not apply toward rollover. Once the rollover requirements are met, ONLY the winnings will be credited to your BetDSI account. Casino bonus expires after 30 days and must be requested before February 1st, 2012 at 11:59pm ET. General casino bonus play rules apply. Bonus appears in the Bonus Play tab in your casino lobby and this bonus is awarded within 24 hours of when you use the bonus code for this promotional offer in the online cashier or when you mention the bonus code for this promotional offer at the time of deposit by email/phone/live chat with BetDSI Customer Service.

But that must be just for this thing because other casino bonuses from DSI pay the full amount.

this "300%" offer is pretty amusing. More like 40% when talking about what you actually get.

25% freeplay is worth maybe 15% cash. 100% casino freeplay is almost worthless. Let's say 10%.

Poker is bogus because of all the rake you'd be giving them. Far from 175%, let's say another 15%.

[LordVodka]

I got the rollover and was credited with about $500 in winnings. The rollover is ridiculous though.

[RyanLeafOfBets]

Just to make sure I'm on the same page as you guys (because I'm from Ohio, and that makes me a little dumb)

If I deposit $300 on the site,
I get Poker/Casino/Sportsbook bonuses?

I don't have to choose which bonus to go with, so I'd have $375 in my Sportsbook account (w/ the freeplay) and $300 in my Casino Account?

You'd have 300 in your main account, with $75 in freeplays.

You'd have $300 in casino freeplay chips, requiring 40x rollover.

Congrats, that is awesome!!! I started playing a bit BJ today hopefully I can make some money off this lol.
