I'm not too happy about this either. They should lower the rollover requirements now.

**Venom72** · 08-29-18, 05:17 PM

Yea it sucks i tried to use mine yesterday on a 3 team mlb parlay and sure enough it woulda won

**Alfa1234** · 08-29-18, 05:26 PM

It's been like that for a few weeks already. Drops the FP value by over 50% IMHO and it's not worth it anymore.

Agree. Add this to their horrible website plus 30 day hold on bonuses and it's an easy decision to pass.

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 08-29-18, 06:07 PM

poor decision..not worth the 30 day hold and dealing with all the problems with their site anymore.

**pokerdevil** · 08-29-18, 06:46 PM

Is it just me or do bonuses suck across the board even compared to 6-12 months ago?

Not to mention that every site is charging -115 or higher on props too

**OVAKUL** · 08-29-18, 07:01 PM

What to do now? Wait until Kershaw is -400 and back the away team? Given thew new terms and conditions its strange they even allow baseball and hockey money lines that sometimes reach +300

**bubba** · 08-29-18, 07:53 PM

They can have any rule they want. But hiding the MAJOR change on deposit bonuses in fine print was another example of a shady action by this group of books. Just warn your customers. Sending out email promotions for bonuses? Put it in the goddam email. Decency 101

pretty sure they dont allow anything over +190 or 200 or so

Excellent point. In the midst of a huge football bonus marketing campaign, they change the free play usage to this water down version. Scummy move.

**DR225** · 08-29-18, 08:13 PM

Damn, I was about to deposit there. Thanks for making the thread.

**Outsider626** · 08-29-18, 08:17 PM

It's better to take 50% Heritage cash sign up bonus with 12x rollover. Deposit 500 and get 250 extra.

Youwager has the +190 max odds rule, betonline let you go higher

How high are you saying betonline lets you go? pretty sure it wouldnt let me do +200

**patswin** · 08-30-18, 08:20 AM

thanks for the heads up on this one. I already sent them a small deposit to get the freeplay. I always used to do the 8 3 teamers to turn it into 70% cash. The only other way to play it is to take a big dog ML wth the freeplay and lay the juice at another shop and hope it loses. Sucks if the ML dog wins though. Have hit many +500 ML's with free play over the years

And now you can't do that dog ML anymore either, because they will only allow sides, totals and MLB ML bets. Nothing else. You can get 40%-ish out of the FP.

**jjgold** · 08-30-18, 08:27 AM

Too many bonus whores are going to ruin betonline I would throw them all out

**patswin** · 08-30-18, 08:31 AM

im also seeing a 30 day expiration on free plays too. Damn should have done my homework on this one.

Betonline should let you do any odds so long as the bet itself is eligible (like moneyline for baseball/hockey), handicaps for other sport. Right now you could get down Detroit Tigers +276 and it gives the freeplay option.

yeah looks like they tightened up big time. Was not even gonna play there because of the problems they've been having with their site.

If you hedge against another book you can still get 70%

For example today bet $1000 freeplay on Detroit +276 at BetOnline and $2080 cash on Yankees -305 at Pinnacle, you'll come out with $680 profit either way.

**timdog12** · 08-30-18, 09:06 AM

I learned from my mistakes. I prefer not to take the bonus anymore hate the rollover thing. Even though I bet a few thousand per game. Also taking the bonus on betonline with the 30day wait is crazy .

**HedgeHog** · 08-30-18, 09:13 AM

For now (and this could change too), the only way to play FPs is with high MLB dogs and it comes with extra risk. Just make sure to choose ACTION and check the weather forecast for the stadium involved. A push/cancel bet is a losing bet as far as Free Plays are concerned at BOL (rule #5).

**Alfa1234** · 08-30-18, 09:16 AM

A cancel is a simple void and your FP will be returned. A push and it won't.

Are you sure about this, because I wouldn't want to find out the hard way?

**Alfa1234** · 08-30-18, 09:42 AM

Unless it changed recently I am. Had a soccer match postponed and FP returned a few months ago.

If you’re not planning to make a withdrawal in 30 days, then accepting it is a no brainer. I took the free money.
