I am not sure what is the outcome for OP, but people who speak out for the book and not for the customer is bunch of idiots.

I just got a bonus from bodog, it give me 2 weeks to clear. Either I have to gamble like a maniac or I won't cleared the bonus

So when you accept a bonus, all your bet lost is 'real' money and
all your bet win become bonus money and you have 2 weeks to clear it ....gl.
note: this is what I fear, losing real money and win bonus money that will expired end of the months.

This bonus I just accept it was on Sunday November 7 and it expired in November 29, barely 3 weeks to clear it.

Warning!!! this is how bodog bonus works, 2 possible scenario ..... winning or losing!
If I win the Jaqualine Amorim bet, than I will gain $303.75 bonus, now I have $503.75 bonus to cleared in 2 week (impossible)
If I lose, than I just lost $225 of my real money.

How is that even fair or legal?



note: bodog let me forfeit the bonus and lose all my winning associated with that bonus.

Okay, but you didn't have to accept it, did you? The expiration date is outlined on the bonus before you accept. And they never give just 2 weeks, so that bonus offer has probably been sitting in your account for a bit. But even if that's not true, and the bonus offer just appeared in your account today, you can see the expiration date on it. Frankly, I find Bovada's bonuses some of the easiest to achieve in the industry due to their low rollover multipliers and no restrictions on what you can wager on.

I'm with you that we should take the player's side whenever possible. But we shouldn't do so blindly and take someone's side even when they are the ones who made a mistake. Because that weakens our message when there is a legitimate gripe.

No! you are wrong about the expire date. The expire date 'show' is the last date you are able to accept the bonus. Once the bonus is credit than a new expire date is giving, before it is 6 months, now it is a week or few weeks.

i made a mistake to take a bonus on the 6 dollars fee on ** never again it considers a bonus i had to wait a while to withdraw

Did they just change this then? I accepted a bonus recently and the expiration date was a couple months out.

This is why bonuses suck. It's +EV to ignore them most of the time. Most complaints about books come from people who took a bonus.

What a nice bonus, $200. I have 6 days to clear it....lol. At least it is not 1 month limit so they can free roll you for 1 month where you gamble real money to win bonus money that you can not clear.

True, but most complaints about bonuses come from people who simply did not read the terms.

It's only +EV to ignore them if you are illiterate or too lazy to read the terms.

I disagree, many time is the site being shady, many time it is bait and switch. They will change rollover rules so it is impossible to clear bonus. They could limit you to $10 a bet and you have $30,000 rollover to clear.

You're talking about stuff that happens at shit books. I think everyone here will agree that you have to proceed with caution at shit books, whether it be bonuses or anything else. But none of that is going to happen at a top book, and making a blanket statement that it's +EV to ignore bonuses is ridiculous. I'd be quite a bit poorer today if I had listened to that advice.
