Betonline/sportsbetting has a promo for $25 max bet that Tampa Bay will score a point in their season opener in the fall. Does that mean I will not be able to clear out rollovers and take new bonuses, if I have a pending $25 bet? I am new to playing at these books. Or at least I haven't played there in awhile. I can ask chat, but I trust SBR guys with experience more than first level support. It would be dumb not to take the bet - so just making sure there is no catch. Thanks!

Thats correct- it traps players into old rollovers as do all future bets. It's why I don't bet futures with offshores unless its a book I dont take bonuses at

If you rip balance and re-deposit you will still be tied into the old rollover.

Like Crusher said. It's a trick. Don't do it.
Unless you never take bonuses. Then it's fine.

I think BOL changed their policy on that.

On what? if you have a balance of more than $5 including pending wagers, if you deposit and take another bonus, then rollovers get stacked.

This $25 bet will stop you from getting further bonuses if you have a pending rollover. I've got in this trap many times this year, and was even more exasperated when my puny $15 futures bet on K.C. at 10-1 lost in the superbowl. That bet cost me probably $$700 in freeplays. However if you do clear the rollover from each bonus you can redeposit and get freeplays despite the pending future bet. I took this matter up with C.S. in October, and they told me requirement couldn't be waived, so I told them I wouldn't bet until after the superbowl. 3 weeks later they called and offered me a 100% bonus up to $300. Deposited that and have turned it into $13,000, so guess the karma was with me.

If you bet the $25 future can you still take the 5% BTC bonus if that gets offered again?

The 5% is being offered now..

Doesn’t make sense. They offer bonuses to incentivize deposits. I don’t think this would be an intended consequence. If they don’t want to give bonuses they just wouldn’t.

It doesn't make sense to me either Pharaoh. It's not worth $25 for a possible headache. I'd pass.

I don't know -- I've always taken these free money plays from BOL, and I've never had an issue withdrawing, collecting bonuses, etc. BOL changed their rules about futures wagers a year or so ago, so I don't think there's any risk. I guess I'll find out, I've already played it.

You should have a stacked rollover if you take another bonus.

Used to be you could not take a bonus if you had pending bets. You can have pending bets now and get a bonus.

We're talking about $25 here. And you don't get it for 7 months.

**Roger T. Bannon** · 02-09-21, 12:20 PM

You can't get $25 any other way.

I mean it’s $50 (sportsbetting plus Betonline) times however many times they run this promo. Stupid to leave money on the table. Took me two minutes to write a post. How much per hour do you make ?
