    Bookmaker Bonus Question

    Stupid question, so be easy on me. I normally never accept bonuses because I don't like being tied to rollover restrictions...however, yesterday I deposited $300 in Bookmaker to try it out and I declined the bonus. Unfortunately, I made some unwise wagers and I lost that bankroll in one day.

    This morning I contacted them to see if I could get my bonus since it was still within 24 hours so that I can use some freeplays. They gave me a 10% bonus ($30) with a 3X rollover requirement.

    Let's assume that I have a good night tonight and I turn that $30 into $1,000. Since I already lost my original bankroll, what would I have to do to request a payout? I'm assuming that the 3x rollover requirement would mean that I would have to wager $900. Is that correct? Since I already wagered and lost $300, would I just have to wager an additional $600 from my winnings in order to be eligible for a payout? Or would I have to wager $900?

    Thanks in advance!

    3x ($300+$30)=$990 rollover

    when you calculate your bets you have to take the lower of risk/win amount.
    for example a $100 bet on +110 =$100 must be counted,even if you have won $110.

    the bets you already have (with the qualifying deposit) also count.

    the bet placed with your free play $30 doesn't count towards the rollover.

    if you lose and the balance becomes 0 USD with or without cents
    your rollover is also zeroed,it disappears.

    Thanks, Tachi. So - since I already went bust on my original $300...but I have wagers locked in the $30 bonus that I received today -- If I won $1K on those wagers, and then played that $1K and won again....would I then be free and clear?

    Actually tachi you only need to roll the deposit, not the freeplay amount.

    From the house rules:

The lower amount between the risk and win amount is considered in the roll over. Casino, poker and horses are not taken into consideration for theroll over.
    Assume that the bonus in question was the 10% reload bonus, so a $1000 deposit would give $100 bonus, for a total of $1000 + $100 freeplay in your balance. If the freeplay amount needed to be rolled over the rollover would be:

    ($1000 + $100) * 3 = $3300, but from the example above it says that the rollover is $3000.

    Thanks for the clarification Chopsticks....so, since I already went bust on my $300 deposit....do I only need to wager $600 more?

    That depends on the risk/win amount on your losing bet of $300. Check your history for the bet slip and see what the lesser of the risk/win amount was. If you bet at +100 or higher then you only have to place wagers worth $600 at odds of +100 or higher. If you place your bets on odds below +100 (evens, 2.00 or whatever), then only the winning amount counts towards the rollover requirement.

    Bookmaker only makes you roll the deposit, not the bonus. By my count when you bet $900, you are clear.
