    Bet Online lists their 100% Crypto bonus as a bonus, but gives free play instead

    https://promotions.betonline.ag/crypto-benefits

    After winning a bet using their 100% crypto bonus, they only paid me out the amount won, not the entire amount. Since they use the term bonus instead of free play, I feel this is very misleading. I complained to SBR, and to Bet Online. Bet online says the bonus is correct and won't refund my money.

    I would not have made the deposit if I knew it was a freeplay. Has anyone else had this issue with Bet Online?

    Don't like them
    But ...

    If you hit the play you only get the winning amount
    That is the same everywhere pretty muc
    And it does say free play in terms

    Under T@C it says the "free plays" you earn are for the sportsbook only. That seems to make it clear the bonus is not cash. Not sure why you wouldn't take the bonus otherwise. BOL's rollovers are fairly low, I've rolled over the amount from my last "freeplay" bonus at least 10X more than was required.

    1075 posts, member for 10 years and you make a post and complaint like this? Yikes. It is clearly listed as a freeplay, you'll get nowhere fast with this.

    I disagree that it's clearly listed. You have been on here 13 years and use one of your 163 posts to trash talk? Lucky me.

    Terms are listed. Doesnt mean it's a good bonus. Great book AWFUL bonus. Good book if you're looking to get paid fast but 100% FREEPLAY with a 14x RO? One of the worst and I don't care what they do or don't let you use it on. Just my opinion

    They don't mention the word free play until point 6. They use bonus by itself 5 times previously to that. I don't disagree that I should have read this better, but calling this "pretty clear" is hyperbole.

    I guess I thought section 8 and 9 made it pretty clear, but maybe you didn't make it that far when reading the terms.

    Wouldn't it be more clear for those to be terms 1 and 2?

    If it does not say cash bonus, it is not a cash bonus.

    BetOnline has had a few tricks up their sleeve in the past but this is not one of them.

    Rule #10 says they can do what they want whenever they want without notice. Rules like that are bullshit. No other rule required really.

    The interesting thing about this is our own SBR calls this a cash bonus on their page about BetOnline. I actually came to this thread googling around to see if anything else out there corroborates that and it looks like I got my answer here, which is a big fat “no.”

    This is an odd assumption IMO. "Bonus" does not equate to cash necessarily. When I see the word bonus, my next step is to find out whether that bonus is cash or free play.
