    What's so funny? im just saying its a hassle to pick up the funds than Re-deposit it again. Wouldnt it be hassle free if you can just finish the rollover and keep the funds in the account with no strings attached?

    Covy, I signed up during the night and got a call first thing in the morning by them offering $25 freeplay. I deposited $500 and got $500 freeplay.

    What is funny is you asked the sportsbook you're playing at the question and they answered and can back to SBR and asked here as if the users of this forum have the final say on the matter.

    What would be the purpose of a $250 max win on the freeplay ?

    Pokernut... this is a common practice http://www.alliancesportsbook.com/ had the same rule as well. You got to figure that a promotion like this can get hundreds if not a thousand new accounts just for this type offer. With this kind of volume with no safegaurds in place it could turn into hundreds of thousands of dollars in exposure with the possibility of absolutely zero monies coming in, if it is a true no deposit required and pay offer. So the service will cap the possible exposure amount from $50 to $500. If it is a $100 or less then a payout is usually never asked for because the winner is held responsible for the fee and almost all books have a policy against processing less than $100. If it is over alot of places pull a bullshit rule like account activation requires a minimum deposit, blablabla. These I hate the most because then it is not a freebet, it is a lie or bait and switch type of deal and will make me not use a service. I heard though that 7Red and Alliance have both paid on their freebet offers and did not make a winner deposit, they did have to cover processor fees though. But if new books are not your thing I think it is possible to wrangle a free bet out of BetIslands for a brand new account and customer, just got to ask the right person the right way if you know what I am saying.

    7Red did not make me deposit any money what so ever in order to get my funds out. I didnt even pay for any processing fee, i got the full amount of 250 like they stated. Very impress.

    Oh, and every place that ever offered a promo like this have always allowed a customer to deposit matching funds to release an amount of about $500 or less. If you get your balance up just call in and ask for a manager, a real manager and offer to deposit p2p and ask how much of the balance that you won from actual wagers they are willing to let you keep if you send the same amount. $500 and zero to a few rollover is highly possible at most places but you got to ask and or negotiate.

    Have you even bothered to look for the rating?

    They have had a rating for at least a week or 2 now and that rating is the same exact rating that EZstreet has since the 2 books are related and both will remain the same until they pay SBR for a better rating.

    EZstreet probably one of the most underrated books at SBR.

They can shill and try to pretend to be honorable but in the end they are just another stiff and the vast majority of players will look for a book that pays all winners.

    EZstreet stole $300 from me, the pitched me a 100% freeplay , i accepted it , after two days I was up $300, then they decided to close my account and refund my deposit minus the winnings , their excuse was i was not a recreational player.

    Dolson... There was a huge debacle of a nightmare last year that involved Easy Street Sports, a poster called Corey, Justin7 of Sbr and Willhelm of the RX... it involved almost $50k in casino winnings, no payment, accusations of bot (specialized banned automted player card playing software) usage, accusations of previous repeated premeditated fraud, accusations of false analytical reports, accusations of cover ups, accusations of threats to do physical bodily harm, lawsuits, multiple forums, 20 odd different threads at the same time, bannings, as many as 60k views on one thread, multiple ghosts posting(different accounts same person) representing supposed owners, employees, shills, and the player/customer involved, accusations of bribes or contest winner/s chosen before the contest started, accusations of advertisers not being treated like other non advertising services or advertisers/affiliates being outright protected at the expense of the players or forum users.... and on and on and on. Yes, this all happend at the same time over an initial conflict.

    got an email for a 25 freeplay with sign up. no deposit needed. they actually gave me a 50 freeplay. free money is good. i may consider a small deposit to try them out, so far the customer service and generosity is great. darren was the guy who gave me 50 freeplay.

    might as well take a shot here. freeplay, turn it into 250. withdrawal 250. deposit 250 and get 250 bonus. working with 500 and sent zero of my money.

    Something weird happened to me , 7redsports closed my account a few days ago because my name turned up on some sharp player list,
    now i just got a call from a 7redsports agent offering me a $50 freeplay to try their book, she must not have seen that sharp player list!

    Dont do it... will turn into a headache. Sales person just had a list to call that had not been checked against house accounts... it will come up after you open your second account or try too. Not worth dealing with IMHO

    Thanks i definitely don't want a duplicate account with 7redsports, CS at 7redsports , Garret and Vince say they are working on getting my account reopened, they say i shouldn't be refused an account just for winning.

    Garret straightened everything out for me at 7redsports, he got my account reopened, EZstreet tried to blacklist me as a non recreational player which was absurd, Garret is definitely the one to deal with at 7redsports.

    I have just experieced the fastest payout in the 4 years of career, not only was it fast but Garrett told me to call James my account rep at like 1 eastern time now this was at about 9-10 am i get a call from Mr. Garrett maybe 2 hours later with a control # and all that. Not only have they just acquired a longtime customer i feel comfortable with depositing there and telling others, i see alot of books get negative press but they deserve 2 thumbs up on this one.

    ty 7redsports and staff

    one happy feller
