    Best online bonus for US book other than 5dimes or bovada?

    With the most reasonable rollover? I see GT Bets has a 100% cash bonus but you have to rollover the cash+ bonus 5 times. And the max is 250. So you have to wager a total of 1250 before the cash even becomes yours. Seems insane.

    Theres gotta be something better?

    Think that bonus is pretty good by market standards right now.

    SBR keeps an updated list ordered by 'best value' taking into account size/type/rollover

    SIA looks like the best after Bovada for US players at moment.

    Bonuses are BullShit!!!!

    You want to look for a for book that has a good payout reputation.

    That's more important than all other "Exotics"

    Especially if you want to score and get out fast......

    Bonuses are for chasers and action junkies

    just my 2 cents

    Highly agree that no bonuses the way to go. That way the book can not make up some excuse or change the rollover requirements to cash out. I use youwager. I can deposit with them at 11:30 at night and then cash out the next morning and get my money same day with them if I want to. As long as I rollover the money 1 time. Very simple. No complicated rollovers and making my money sit there for 30 days.

    It is actually of of the most "sane" and best offers out there! The math is more complicated though - it is 5 x points which ends up being more like 10k at risk to meet the rollover. That's ok - you don't want it to be a haven for ho's. You want it to be fair so your money is good when you want to cash it out.

    It is a CASH bonus and not free play!

    If you think GTBets 100% bonus is insane, I would say bonuses are not for you. You might as well quit looking.

    don't you get charged 3% by your bank for international transaction? don't you get charged for cashing out?

    hitting and running is probably good if you don't make too many bets but there are too many fees to deal with.

    The $1250 rollover isn't bad even for a small bettor. Say you bet football $25 a game, place 2 bets Thursday night, 2 bets Friday night ncaa, 4 bets Sat, 4 bets Sun, and 1 bet Mon, that's $325 in one weekend. 4 weeks into the season your done with the rollover and that's with small bets.
    Bonus is just like comps in real casinos. Since bonus is given up front you have to wager enough to "earn" it. In Vegas casinos you gamble enough and then they give you comps.
    Anyone not taking bonuses when they are offered are degenerates betting the rent and need to cash out (if they win) or they'll be late on the rent again. That or the guys who literally only bet a couple of games the entire season. Otherwise you'll most likely make more than $1250 in bets throughout the football season so turning down a bonus is just stupid.

    Bovada's screen is terrible, hard to find lines fast...and they only allow $750 max deposit every 8 days.

    5dimes is a joke, tried to deposit with them yesterday and they said ** has my name blacklisted and I need to find somebody to send it for me (not an issue, but was an issue at 5:30am when I was trying to load up the account for the USO at 8am).

    Heritage is invite only, correct? I've never been able to play there.

    Does GTBets payout? That's a good bonus. If anything, I'll just scalp it out.

    Never trusted Betonline.

    Bookmaker/DSI are great, but I have three big credit accounts, so they are not needed.

    Always looking for books that will pay that have decent cash bonuses though. Rollover is no issue. Most books are pointless to me unless they offer tennis and don't cancel on retirements (all three of my credit accounts cancel bets with any retirements).
