Advice on what to bet? Or if it is legitimate?
It is legit and safe to use.
Read all the terms. There might be a max win amount as its a no-deposit offer.Originally Posted by Pecettoz
Just says 8x rollover for me. I didnt get one with BOL but got one with Sportsbetting which I use a lot more often.

Be careful. There might be an 8X rollover like you said but sometimes they max your win too. Which means not only do you have to do a 8X rollover but then you can only win $100. Not sure if that's the case but be careful.
Double check with their live chat on no max win and then be sure to get a transcript of the chat.

I got this as well, If it wins I'll just bet against it in another book and collect it that way, don't even bother with the rollover.
*Terms & conditions:
1. This promotion is by invitation only and is non-transferable.
2. There is a 12x (twelve time) rollover requirement associated with this promotion.
3. The $25.00 free play must be used by Sunday, August 19th, 2018 at 11:59 pm(ET) or it will disappear from your account.
4. If you use only a portion of the free play before its expiration, your rollover will still be calculated on the entire original amount of the free play.
5. A deposit of at least $50.00 must be made at some point after Tuesday, August 14th, 2018 in order to make a future withdraw.
6. No withdraws can be made within 30 days of using any portion of this free play.
7. SportsBetting.ag reserves the right to modify or discontinue this promotion at their discretion.
8. Standard terms and conditions apply to all bonuses, please see website Rules for details.
Item #8 means that those aren’t all of the terms and conditions. You also need to go to the rules section of their website to see what other terms may apply to your freeplay.
If you want to guarantee yourself about 75-85% return on this freeplay, then use SBR’s freeplay value calculator and then patiently wait for the right money line. I don’t believe BetOnline has a limit on the odds you can play.

This is shady. You should not be able to just put free plays in peoples accounts, that if touched a customer cannot request a withdrawal for 30 days. Customer should have to actively request the free play with a stipulation like that. Most probably assume its just a genuine apology for the website being shit. This is really shady, sounds like something a D or F book should be doing, not an A book. At least put a warning on the website (not hidden in terms and conditions). I like betonline (website issues aside) but this is just wrong. Unless they only put these in accounts with a 0 balance (they did not) this is wrong and SBR should not turn a blind eye to it. Someone eligible for a withdrawal will unbeknownst be forced to wait 30 days to begin the process.
They gave me a $75 freeplay last fall that I ran up to 1k. Just deposited $50 and waited the 30 days and they paid no problem. I don't really play there so I'll try to run it up again. Also got 1 for sportsbetting.ag (sister book)
Its a nice promo for those with no balance. could be nice for someone even with a balance. could screw over a player with a 10k balance who planned on withdrawing the next day and wagered the free play before realizing the hidden rule on what appears like a nice gift.
Yeah I have a 0 balance there. Would never take the bait if I had $ on there
This just happened to me. I was midway into my 30 days of my original deposits and i used the $25 freeplay yesterday. I have a pretty big balance on both betonline and sportsbetting. I usually just leave the funds in my accounts, but I like the option to withdraw as earliest as possible just in case bitcoin takes off.
Do you have limited range of sports to use these FP? I was always able to bet on tennis or soccer with it, but this time it's not possible.
I chatted with CS
Tristan Robertson: Basketball, Football and Soccer Free Plays can only be used on Spreads and Totals.
Tristan Robertson: Baseball and Hockey Free Plays can only be used on Moneylines and Totals.
Tristan Robertson: At this time, those are the new rules for the free plays
If I remember correctly, BOL will do this every fall and they add $25 every week you don't use it. Might be possible to get up to a $100 free play.
betonline secretly changed terms of freeplays to no more parlays. they do not put that on the email of promotions to unsuspecting customers. shady shady shady.
one would only find out after depositing. they just dont treat customers right. sbr doesnt care.
I believe also that if you currently have a freeplay in your account (unused) then make a deposit you wont get a bonus on that deposit. So make sure you use the freeplay before making that deposit.
This screams of money problems to me. They sent it to me and essentially they're saying use this, send us $50 more dollars and you can't cash out until a couple weeks int football season (when money should start pouring in) Plus, they've been putting circles on a ton of things the last few weeks and didnt post any totals on MMA this past weekend. Never seen that. all my other books had it. I have an account there and it makes me nervous. Anyone got a payout there recently?
Its not a money problem. It seems to me like it's more them trying to get players back bc of the free play and also get players to keep their balances on the site for longer. Even though it's kind of scummy it is free money. Lots of players are going to get locked into their 30 day hold or need to deposit again after taking the free play because it's in the terms. I have to imagine lots of players left because of the site being difficult to use. I don't mind. Both BOL and SBetting gave me 5 different 100% reload bonuses and 2 50% ones. That's the only reason I'm playing there through the headaches right now.
So basically, they're tricking people into accepting $12.50 in exchange for not taking any money out for 30 days.
Where there's smoke...
Assume for a second you were running a sportsbook that did have money problems. Wouldn't this be one of the core tactics you would use to stall payout requests? Not saying that is what is happening, but unsolicited tiny freeplays with a 30-day freeze on account funds certainly support the thesis.
Not the case. FP disappeared so everyone not using it, now can make a withdrawal
They seem to only go to inactivate accounts. There is no money in those accounts to be "tied up for 30 days" or for them to be tricked in any way.
Betonline do this promo every year.
Next week those that didnt take the 25 will likely get one for 50 bucks.
These trolls screaming its some sort of scam to be giving inactive account holders a free play to come back are just that, stupid trolls who are just making up scenarios that do not exist.
This deal happens every year. And never seen anyone actually have an issue they did not like around it.
Not true. I got the FP and I’m certainly not inactive. Wish I knew it would keep going up in price if I didn’t use itThey seem to only go to inactivate accounts. There is no money in those accounts to be "tied up for 30 days" or for them to be tricked in any way.

I took one for $75 in the third round a couple of years back.

And it has always targetted zero balance accounts.
Not sure what happened with you but I'd guess you had a zero balance at some point not too long ago when the list was drawn up.
Bottom line is though, no one will be forced into keeping/using it if they dont want and no one will deposit and be "trapped" for 30 days, as all they have to do is ask to get rid if it. It's a popular promo every year and never seen a soul actually bitch about it hurting them.
Never said everyone used it. But those that did locked their entire balance for 30 days -- most without even knowing it.
Nope. I know of several very active accounts who saw the $25 fp appear.They seem to only go to inactivate accounts. There is no money in those accounts to be "tied up for 30 days" or for them to be tricked in any way.

Nope again... You're full of incorrect guesses and short on facts.
They put freeplays in some accounts with money in them and eligible for a withdrawl. It is wrong to hold up that money for 30 days if player used it. 100% flat out wrong.
If they sent out emails asking if u wanna claim the freeplay with said rules, then its fair game. State any stipulation you want (barring murdering customer or something). But just putting the freeplay in accounts that have $ eligible for withdrawl (they did to me) is 100% flat out wrong. Could you imagine the comparison of another type of company doing this? It may not have been malicious (maybe it was), but it was wrong to do it.
Not sure how many got these that were active there but I'd be surprised if it was a lot of people.
I get where you are coming from but still think you are imagining bad intent, whereas the scenario wont actually affect many.
I can't help thinking back to previous years and can't recall anyone actually complaining about receiving these.
It just takes 1 person affected to make it wrong. Ill admit, I had no plans to withdraw in the next 30 days (but people would certainly withdraw much less than whatever my balance was at the time) so it didn't affect me 1 bit. but they didnt know that. It just comes off as sneaky. The worst thing on earth? thievery? no. but they shouldnt be doing it. change the wording, chance the terms or only put it in peoples accounts with a 0 balance. Its not that hard.
That hasn't happened to my account in the last 1.5 years...seriously. Maybe a glitch, or they're expanding the recipient pool this year.
Edit: Also, for the record, I was NOT eligible for a withdrawal. I still have like $10k in rollover due there.
