    Terrible result for the bettor.

    Although, I would never hit and run as he tried to do.
    Situational wagering must be taken into account- Always wager your deposit amount to
    avoid any roadblocks.
    Discrecion is in order when withdrawing on a new account.
    Don't believe I would have :
    A) Grabbed winnings so early
    B) Grabbed the full amount.
    Would have pieced them out on amounts withdrawn.

    100% agreed. Use the bonus and see if you can win. No risk for individual and casino has no chance of winning.
    My definition of gambling means includes potential to win AND lose.

    No offshore book will allow that.

    Rule is fair and dude was wrong to not risk anything.

    You need two books when you take bonus. One book to bet one side and another book to bet the other side so you can meet the roll over.

    If the rule was fair, why don't they have it in other states? In NV, William Hill took my deposit, then made me bet through it once before giving me my bonus. The only reason I can think that they would not do that in CO is if they are angle shooting customers who don't read and fully digest every single work of their terms of service.

    Only losers bet with Wm. Hill. If you are a winner you are either barred or severely limited.

    They should not have let the full balance be withdrawable. It's on them.

    I went to Indiana recently and tried a bunch. Of course I won the most on unibet which is giving me the run around. As soon as I went to cashout, they wanted all kinds of documents the next day including selfie with Id in hand. CS sucks too. The site is clunky. I requested an "instant echeck" on Tuesday and still haven't gotten it. Also had to bug chat constantly about getting my free bet from losing my 1st bet. The site says 'generally applied next day but 72 hrs in some cases'. Well after 48 I emailed-no response. I live chatted and they said it's auto applied after 72 hrs. Guess what 96 hrs later I had to chat again and they finally gave it to me. I will say they offered a good 2nd deposit bonus. 300% bonus with 3x rollover max $100 to get $300 bonus.

    Mgm is by far the best. W/D requested and rec'd in 6 hours. Free bet up to 600 if first bet lost. Free bet was instantly credited.

    Thescore betting app has the best app and best promos. They match deposit up to 1000 (unlockable in increments), give you a freebet if you lose first one (I forgot max), and I even got a 200 freebet for using my first bet on an NCAA game. So I deposited 250 and bet an NCAA game. It lost. I got a 250 free bet, a 200 free bet, and 250 bonus that unlocks in increments. Also has -105 pricing on all NBA and NCAA spreads.

    Pointsbet gave me good promos too. Signed up and was offered 80 free bet if I deposited 20, 200 free bet if I deposited 100, 300 free bet if I deposited 300. Plus a 10 free bet with any. Also freebet after losing first bet I think up to 500.

    Draftkings and fanduel cs is really bad.

    BetRivers I had no issues with, fast cashout, and I generally like it. Solid.

    I don't think I took a bonus from Wm Hill. Deposited $200 lost and haven't redeposited. Taking "free money" in any form always has some type of effect.
    My worry is with with DraftKings. Every day (or most days) they add $1 to my balance. I sent them an email on the first one and said they had made an error in my winnings. They responded that the $1. was a "drip" into my account and thanked me for noticing it. But still there. I did not request it.

    They also have no phone number only a G.A. type of message.

    Does anyone know the Virginia phone number for issue? Hope I never need it, but a good time to find it.

    Thanks Optional. That's exactly what I wanted. Now hope I don't have to use it. But I will if necessary!

    Guy simply did not meet rollover. Rollover is met by playing deposited funds.

    A weird book. I got a call from them some 15 years ago, because my first bet was on a dog. For real.
