    Rollover bonuses always confuse me, is this good??

    If I drop Bookmaker 300 bucks, they'll give me a 100% bonus making it 600, but with 10X rollover on the whole thing -- so wagering 6,000 before I can withdraw obviously.

    Is this good? It seems okay to me, I don't usually have any issues with making tons of wagers, lol, but on the other hand, I hate getting scammed w/ crappy deals...

    Thanks!!!!!!

    yes that's a good deal, especially if you're making big bets

    even if you make small bets, the juice on 6000 x 4.5% is $270 so the bonus more than offsets the juice

    Thanks, Mike! I don't know, for some reason, this one isn't feeling so hot to me... $6,000 seems like a lot to me... I mean let's say I hit a couple of nice NFL plays this weekend, like $200 wagers at -110, so then I'm at $1,000 in the account. Then I play the night game and hit and am at $1,200. I'll be thinking cool, let me take $1,000 out... oh wait, I've only wagered 10% of the fukkin money I need to wager! Annoying. Feels like the $6,000 is a long way off and if I hit one shitty run I'm at zero.

    bonuses like that are good for grinders like myself.. people who hit and run it doesnt work to well.. Oh and it doesnt work well if you are working out a bonus when a book goes under

    10x rollover on 100% match bonuses are solid

    I don't think there's an established book like bookmaker that is offering better than 10x roll on 100

    Glad to hear you guys think it's good, but I'm still not sure I wanna do it.... I mean, yeah, I guess I'm usually a grinder, but on the other hand, I was thinking of switching strategies to more of a larger-bets, less-frequent-action thing in order to make some money and get out.

    So with that being said, should I just take a smaller bonus, like 25%?

    BETDSI offering the same promo up to $500 and I just deposited couple weeks ago for this promo however it feels like it will take forever to complete the rollover plus you can't withdraw your money whenever you want.

    Capybara, are you new to bookmaker? Maybe this is for new members only.

    Nope, I've played there before. Not in a little while, but they call me all the time. The funny part is that the e-mail I got mentioned the usual 25% type of bonus, but when I actually called and talked to the dude, he offered me the 100%.

    I don't know if it's something they'd offer to just anyone or if they want to see some track record or something, but it wouldn't hurt you to call 'em and see if you can get it -- 1-800-736-2413. Good luck. I really am not sure I even want this though -- don't like having my money so tied up in a long rollover.

    Well I talked to a rep and they said only some people got the offer in the mail. I told the guy I'm a losing player to try and see if I could get the bonus but nope.

    Interesting. Not sure how they determine who gets what offer.

    So anyway, what did they offer you?

    Nothing, the regular bonuses they have which is 20% reload. I know betdsi has a 100% bonus up to $500 but when I signed up with them they locked my account because they claim someone logged in from California and I don't live in California. I don't use VPN or proxies so I don't know why someone would have logged on from there and that alone scares me.

    They want me to send in an ID and utility bill but if my account is already being hacked before I even make a deposit you can forget about it.

    Wow, that's effed up. Well I'm sure they'll help you get it resolved if you're not doing anything wrong, maybe just set you up with a new account or something... By the way, Bookmaker and BetDSI are the same company basically.

    I've been looking for a bonus like this for some time. Last year Bookmaker did one where you could deposit $300 minimum and get 50% freeplay and you also got 100% in the casino with a ridiculous rollover of 80x but I was able to complete it.

    It's a 100% FP bonus not cash just to make that crystal.

    Guys, am I an idiot if I refuse any bonus at all?? I'm really having misgivings, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this shit... Just let me play with my own fukkin money and I will take you down with my own fukkin money so that I can get it out as soon as I get it up to where I want!

    Thanks for your thoughts.

    I would bet the $300 without the bonus and cash the winnings first. Then deposit the winnings with the bonus offer. So you can try and roll it over 10x with house money.

    I'm currently in a 100% bonus with Betdsi. I did it just for kicks. Probably won't do much with it until next football season. Already trying to finish up a 25 percent reload bonus with betonline which I expect to go down like betislands anyday now.

    Weird. I took this bonus but they wouldn't give it unless I mentioned the bonus code. I asked about current bonuses, and they offered like 20% freeplay. I mentioned the 100% and they said I needed to provide the code.

    So I decided I don't want to worry about that much rollover and I opted for just 25% with a 6x rollover (on just the deposit I think) instead. But actually the guy I'd talked to wasn't there today so now I need to make sure I don't get fukked -- cuz I don't want a freeplay... I just put in 400 and I just want my 25% more with a 6X rollover and I'm good. Gonna talk to Bruno tomorrow.

    Maybe I'm dumb, I prob could have rolled over the 10X of the 100% (or really, 20x of the bonus amount), but just don't like staring at that mountain of rollover, you know?

    Damn, this shit is confusing.

    If its a 100% freeplay bonus its obviously not as good as 100% cash bonus, but nowadays its probably gonna be a good as you're gonna see. If you like the grind it can be a fun challenge to try to get through the rollover ahead of the game. The problem is with a freeplay you're not even ensured a bonus unless you use the freeplay money for a bunch of smaller bets. This almost ensures that your bonus will end up as a 50% cash bonus.

    The way I understood it, it was not a freeplay, it was cash, but it now occurs to me that I may have just misunderstood him, since the guy I talked to today was talking in terms of freeplay. In any event, I'm hoping that the 25% that I decided on can be done with cash and not freeplay, as I believe I was originally promised -- I'm supposed to talk to Bruno tomorrow. Whatever, I'm honestly tired of even thinking about this baloney.

    dsi/bookmaker never give cash bonuses

    it's always freeplay, that way it sounds better than it is

    25% is freeplay and 100% is freeplay

    Well we'll find out tomorrow for sure, because the dude I talked to today (who said his name was "Sting," which I find extremely hard to believe ) said that he'd leave it for Bruno, whom I originally talked to and will talk to tomorrow. One thing is for sure, I'm not taking any promos unless they spell the thing out six ways to Sunday until I fukkin 100% get what they're saying, with no possibility of misinterpretation. And anything that is not completely obviously +EV they can put where the sun don't shine, thank you very much.

    You won't find that many cash bonuses.

    Plus, freeplays mean you have to be careful how you use them (you pretty much should only use use them on parlays).

    Why is that? That is more risky.
