    I think its just a kind gesture after the problems they had upgrading... I wouldnt worry about them with their bonuses. They usually havent something good going on

    if it's a cash bonus that's pretty damn geneous

    my issue with them is they're like rebatewager in that they round everything down (they don't do cents, so they round everything in their favor).

    Sounds good. I plan on depositing soon if I can get that 35% offer. Only book I've used that's beaten that lately is Heritage once had a special 100% offer for people who participated in blackjack contests.

    rollovers are quite high but it's just a way of protecting their neck if you know what I'm saying.

    Nothing to worry about. They know they have had a few problems while moving and updating their site, so they are just making up for it now that they are basically all set up.

    ^^ yeah rollovers are nuts but I think I'll try it.

    Have to compare rollover on the 35% cash vs. the 100% freeplay for signups.

    8x rollover not bad.

    Is the rollover on the bonus $ or total deposit?

    Costa Rica.....Wonder if winning players are eligible for the 35% cash bonus, or is there a makeup figure that has to be met first? Live chat is closed now.

    I just looked it up too-

    Make Up Figure

    Any withdrawal creates a "make up". A make up figure is money that is withdrawn and needs to be replaced before any further bonus is paid.
    Example: If a player deposits $500, receives his bonus and after a few winning bets decides he would like some of his money and he withdraws $800, he has created the make up figure. He must replace the $800 before any other upfront bonus is awarded for deposits.

    Yeah, thought I read something like that before in their rules. Oh well, I won't be making up 17 G's anytime soon.

    I received the same offer. I took a good size payout from them last week. I'm not putting anything back in until they correct all software issues. I really like the book but the continous limit movements and missing MLB overnight lines caused me to miss a few games.

    15% cash with 3x roll is a better deal if they're still doing it.

    Hi guys,

    Just to confirm the 35% cash bonus does come with an 8 x rollover and this applies to the MLB dimeline.

    Enjoy!

    Betislands always has the best bonuses. Especially for a book that actually pays when you win. There payouts are super fast. Most books that offer great bonuses are scams - but not BI

    Just got off live chat with Ben, I'm not eligible for the 35% bonus....Bi is a very good book. However I wouldn't say their payouts are "super fast" when it takes 7 days to receive 5K, this payout time is average at best. One of their payout methods is fast, but I'm not interested in small $950 payouts. So I wait & demonstrate patience.

    I am a ways away from depositing, got crushed the last month between your book and heritage.

    Hopefully something decent will be there when I can deposit again.
