This thread is full of sharps.

Bonuses are like playing blackjack in an online casino. Sometimes they work, most times not. I personally stay away and like other posters have said, I don't want my money tied up.

Yes they are worth it

Its free money basically

Lol this poster is funny. U have to make bonuses always work for u and if u do it right they always will. I really dont understand the concept of turning down free $ and also the concept of not wanting to have your $ tied up, well guess what everyone its offshore and if u don't want it tied up then why are u betting offshore. Stick with the good books most of them have reload bonuses.

Worth to take the bonus if it's reasonable and if it's cash and not free plays. Reasonable rollover of 3 to 4 times for a certain cash bonuses I would take, otherwise a 12x rollover on a free play I would pass on. Books offer these as most bettors bust out before meeting the rollover.

It's not free if there are conditions attached.

Took a 200 deposit with 100% bonus and rolled it more than $10,000 in wagers, its no sweat to me. Depends on players preference.

but did it ever occur to you to figure out how much more you could have made of it if you weren't bound to bet it all at that book but instead could chose to bet at the book offering the best odds for all those plays?
