How do Rollovers work?

[bomber0104]

I've been reading some sportsbooks review and I keep reading how there are rollovers on new accounts. The only book i've ever dealt with is Pinnacle and I've only withdrew once. When I went to check their review, it said nothing about rollovers.

So my questions are, how do rollovers work? and are there books with no rollovers?

thanks in advance

Pinnacle don't pay bonuses or give out free bets so rollovers aren't relevant there

Books which give bonuses and free bets generally require you to turnover X times the value of your initial deposit plus the bonus before you can withdraw
Conditions vary so you really have to read the rules of the book you take these with
As a general rule the more attractive the bonus the more risky the book so be careful

The only rollovers that are typically worth the hassle are 100% bonuses, if you don't plan on withdrawing any time soon....

aww.. sometimes some punters get prob with the turnover that's because they dont read T&C first before signing up..wagering requiremet is needed before you can wittdraw..

so first if it says 4x rollover, you multiply the balance by 4 and that is what you have to cover and you cover it by this:

rollover is when you bet on a favorite, lets say Nadal today at -310 you bet 3.1 to win 1, the rollover for that is 1
but if you bet federer +250, you bet 1 to win 2.5, the rollover for that is 2.5

Jnic that's completely wrong. Rollover is always the lesser amount whether it's to win or to risk

some of books say (bet365,titanbet etc...)

"Only bets made with odds of 2.0 or greater will count towards wagering"

"2.0" is "+100" . how can we take to +100 (or greather) odds always? I don't understand.Also titanbet want to 15* rollover.
15* rollover & +100 or greather... that is impossible

Thanks for the info!

Normally, you need to add the amount you deposited + the amount of the freeplay you received times the rollover the sportsbook got for that specific promo. Example. deposit of $300 + 30 freeplay 5x, (10% 5xrollover), that s $1650 to cover, and usually the lowest amount between the risk and the win will be the one that it will count for the rollover. Example. risk 100 to win 50, the $50 will be the amount the sportsbook will take to start counting for the rollover. Personally, I think is better not to take any freeplays and just play with your own money to avoid an inconvenience at the time you want to cash out.

so with that said, the only books that don't use rollover that are reliable are Pinny and 5dimes.. am i right or are there other options i should look into?
