What's the big deal about rollovers?

[Sunde91]

See a lot of complaints about the rollovers on free cash.

It's not hard to meet a x4 rollover and you want to increase your roll anyway, so just bet like you would to make money and it will cover on its own in 2-4 weeks

10 x rollover

[Hareeba!]

need to do most of your betting at one shop, most likely at lower odds than you could get elsewhere
several bets don't qualify towards meeting r/o requirement
can't withdraw anything till r/o met
mostly offered by lower grade books
plenty of which have trap conditions

best way to use them is to scalp , bet other side elsewhere and hope to lose at the bonus site, instantly clearing r/o commtiment

Agree with the original poster...while I don't always accept bonuses, especially if I don't want any withdrawal restrictions, it is fairly easy to meet the requirements if you are careful with how you bet.

My favorite bonus is (regardless of the problems at the book currently) the 100% bonus at Betphoenix....8x rollover and there is no waiting periond on withdrawing as long as you meet the rollover.

8x it's pretty hard to meet the rollover!

The problem with a 4X rollover at books dealing .20 cent lines is if you receive a 20% deposit on $1,000 dollars and need to bet $4,000 dollars to roll it over the book is essentially getting your bonus back because of the books theoretical hold of 5%. So 5% of $4,000 is $200, 20% of $1,000 is $200 therefore theoretically speaking long term the book is not actually giving you anything but is locking up your funds until the rollover is complete. Kind of like the book is getting an interest free loan, but it sounds so tempting to gamblers even though you really are not receiving anything

rollover is difficult for me as i'm not that comfortable w/ my new boyfriend yet

[lakerboy]

4x rollover is easy.

[sharpcat]

Proper money management should make any rollover requirement easy

Personally I would take reduced juice or other benefits over a bonus any day.

as long as you have the bankroll to see it thro

rollovers make sense in small doses. i just hate when books bury the rollover clause and make it hard for joe blow to find them and then he is hit with a 20X rollover or some sh$t like that. but on a smaller scale they make plenty of sense. 4x rollover, I am all for it. But so there is no excuse or confusion, I always specifically forfeit the bonus and take zero rollover and make them repeat that to me in correspondence.

I have seen betus offer this crazy 20x rollover

[DwightShrute]

betguardian has a great bonus IMO

20% to 40% free play bonus 5X rollover and a 30 day hold on the deposit and bonus only. You can cash out your winnings any time.

[danvan3000]

rollover of anything lower than 10x is reasonable. I just hate when a push does not qualify at most sites

[jbrent95]

I don't like it when books don't count team totals and alt runlines in the rollover. About 1/3 of my action is team totals.

They said roll over, not bend over.

[jackkkk2009]

It's 4 X the deposit + Bonus, not just 4 X the bonus...
