Understanding bonuses

[djp2000]

I'm someone who never uses bonuses. I left betus.pa years ago because when I went to cash out my winnings they told me I wasn't able to due to all the bonuses I had. Basically, I thought the bonuses they were awarding me were like free wins. Just like the word itself indicates, I thought they were free bonuses on top of my earnings. But I didn't realize that somehow limited what I could withdraw or didn't seem to count as regular payout winnings. I then had to place many more bets and win a certain amount to finally eventually cash out. That is why to this day, I ignore all bonuses even on the site I moved to. Is there something I'm missing with this? I don't like that bonuses came with a caveat that I somehow missed in the rules or whatever. I just like straight winnings and knowing I can cash out my winnings with no problems. The idea of a bonus sounds great but not if I have to be careful with how much I win from them or that it can somehow negatively affect when I go to cash out.
Maybe someone can explain how they work or if they're really worth doing. I don't know if betus.pa was different from how others operate regarding those.

BetUS is terrible and their bonus structure is complicated and confusing.

Sportsbook, the site you went to is not complicated. Bonuses there are cash bonuses and have rollover. The bonuses are 20x rollover on the bonus amount. This means if you deposit $500 and take a 30% Cash bonus you now have $650 in your account. To keep the bonus amount you need to wager $3,000. That's pretty reasonable if you ask me. You can forfeit the bonus money at any point if you want to cash out early or you can make smaller deposits if you are worried about running up a balance and wanting to cash out with smaller wagering requirements.

Hope this helps.

Also, don't be scared of bitcoin. When you finally figure it out, you'll be wondering why you didn't try it sooner. It's very simple and much much better. Plus, you get paid a lot faster.
