    MGM WV NBA bonus

    Looks like you deposit 50, you get 100 (max). You have to roll the 50 6 times to get the 100 bucks. What the hell, is this serious? Would rather have 150 and roll it 10 times. Definitely won’t drive there for this one.

    I'd be surprised if State regulators don't start slapping wrists if books start putting together tricky bonus offers.

    Generally regulators don't like offers that try to encourage the bettor to gamble more than they would choose to. Just offers to get punters to try, or continue to use, their book.

    Ya, opti, this doesn’t seem good. I guess you can reload if you lose the first 50? Not 100% sure. Poker does this all the time but usually not sports

    Having to bet $300 of your own money to release a $100 bonus doesn't sound like it would fly with UK or Australian regulators IMHO. Just the design of the offer. But yeah, they've made it a bit tough to complete as well, value wise.

    MGM NJ just offered 100% match up to $5,000 in free play. Not sure why WA has something so strange.
