    Question about Sign up bonuses?

    With sites that say they will match your deposit like $1000, what's stopping you from depositing and then withdrawing so you keep your bonus money. can you do that

    "They" are the ones stopping you. They require rollovers of multiple times, so they equate those bonuses with their vigs. I think bonuses are useless and the ugly trick of many bookies.

    I f you're somone that bets alot daily then bonus is a free money and rollover is no big deal as you'll be making losts of daily wagers anyway, if you have a limited BR and consider yourself a hit and run artist then you're probably better off not bothing with the lure of 100 percent freeplays with 10 times RO.

    i've seen some guys jump on big bonus offers from fly by night scammers and get burned over 5K a time or too so if you get to obessed with that stuff you're really making wild gambles as you're gambling on the fact your cash is even safe.

    I am a big fan of wagerweb myself they seem pretty sold to me.

    I gamble every day. Make around 5-10 bets and win more than I lose. I got up to $3000 from $400 but lost it all lmao now I am at $869 from $300 deposit so I don't think rollovers really matter cos most of the time I try good money management and make a lot of bets

    because of the crazy amounts u have to wager b4 u can make any withdrawls...thats the catch and its a big 1

    never take bonuses is my advice, i never like my $ being held hostage offshore, especially for the measley amounts ur usually getting for it...really sucks when u hit really big early too...but for some they love it...personal choice i guess...i request payouts alot after big wins, just so i dont blow $ back and that has worked for me for years, so i haven't taken a bonus in years and years

    I play at both bonus shops and larger deposits at non bonus shops. Example. Larger deposits at 5dimes as there is no need to get a bonus there. Great shop that you can hit large and cash often and quick. I am asucker for a couple of the bonus shops for smaller deposits.

    bonuses are fine - just is not a reason to deposit anywhere - other factors more important like lines, payouts and reputation.

    and casino action counts towards roll over, it might be kinda hard to actually win alot in the casino's but i've found it easy to break even and knock rollover out all the time. Rewards for betting are cool too, gtbets and bet dsi do that but both are much less than wagerweb.
