Is declining a bonus considered suspicious by the sportsbook?

[haberbosch]

In a lot of sportsbooks the bonus terms are so convuluted that if you don't follow them completely they can then say the bonus rules weren't followed so some of your winnings (built off the bonus) are no longer valid.

If you opt to decline taking the bonus since you don't want to follow the convulted betting requirements to satisfy the bonus or the larger rollover requirement are you going to be considered a suspicious account and warrant closer monitoring from the sportsbook?

Nope

Not at the larger books you should be playing at. There are some rinky dink books who are looking for n00bs and square degens only, and asking too many questions about and/or declining the deposit bonus can potentially cause them to not want your business. But you should stay away from them anyways.

You are not alone.

A book rep mentioned recently they were surprised how many people did not take their quite large new account bonus.

Doesn't help when the legit books, at worst, require a 1x rollover when the offshores can get into the double digit requirements.

IMO, you have nothing to worry about by passing on bonuses. Instead I think books focus on bonus hunters who recommend many "friends" and set up multiple accounts. Passing on a bonus may actually keep you under the radar. Nevertheless, if you are sharp and accumulate huge winnings you will eventually be limited--but that will have nothing to do with whether you took a bonus or not.
