IL Sportsbook Promotions...They seem like too much

[oldstylecubsfan]

With legalized sports betting coming to IL 6+ month ago, almost all of the books still have these $500+ risk free bet promotions with almost no play through requirement. Doesn't this seem like too much for customer acquisition? Also since the 5 have little issue processing ************, you could load up on two, bet both sides of the same game and have an instant $1000 in free play. Hedge it once and cash out $600+ in a few days.

Seems like a really high price to pay for "customer acquisition"?

Not really if you think how much money they will make on each person over course of their lives.

If they don't match the competition who's gonna sign up with them? That's the price they have to pay.

What percentage of the idiots who sign up actually take the full $500 risk free. Probably like 5% or less. They waste it on a $25 deposit.

it's not just the initial risk free... it's these booster promos all the time too

i wish i lived about an hour's drive south!
