ridiculous rollover requirement at bodog

mighty maron · 02-07-11, 05:30 PM

pm bodog becky and ask her

sharpcat · 02-07-11, 11:06 PM

Very standard rule these days with most books.

Hareeba! · 02-07-11, 11:49 PM

why don't people learn that before accepting bonuses they should READ THE RULES?

secretstash · 02-08-11, 12:03 AM

how anyone can complain about a FREE SPORTSBOOK BANKROLL is beyond me.. but in anycase I do agree the rollover shoulda been upfront to sbr players

bodogs rollovers are alot better than others.

Foosball Champ · 02-08-11, 12:16 AM

2 to 1 odds ?? all money line bets

wrongturn · 02-08-11, 12:25 AM

5x is really low actually and they have good dog price, so you are all set.

Pretty standard these days. Books don't want you betting heavy dogs or heavy favs and hedging your freeplay, lots of books are not allowing parlay or teaser bets towards rollovers either these days.

That seems odd to me..... I could understand if the play was required to be between, say -200 and +200, but are you saying it has to be +200 or more? If so, that might be to your advantage.

No, OP misunderstood bets on dogs greater than +200 and favorites of greater than -200 do not count towards rollover so -220 or +220 would not count.

Yeah I am sure this is what Bodog told the OP. Phoenix and quite a few others have this same stipulation on freeplays.

orioles · 02-08-11, 01:40 AM

Bodog is a cruel joke.

5 times Rollover with odds 2.0 or higher is quite ok to my mind compared to some other rules with double digit rollover requirements. Have not seen greater than 2.0 odds tho requirement. Usually it´s 1.5.

I once "failed" when the rules was written so unclear and it occured later that I have to place parlays of 3 to fill the rollover requirement.

Not much easy money anymore in the betting industry.

Salamander · 02-08-11, 04:00 AM

For U.S.A.'ers who don't know Euro odds

1.01 = -10000
1.33 = -300
1.5 = -200
1.66 = -150
2.0 = +100
2.5 = +150
3.0 = +200
4.0 = +300

Mikail · 02-08-11, 04:04 AM

Bodog is a bush league book. Why am I not suprised. Guys you gotta play at the correct books. That is as much importance as is getting good lines and picking winners. Play at the right books!

doesn't matter how he got it ... you have to read the rules before you attempt to use it

Ruifgalmeida · 02-08-11, 05:38 AM

I did bought 100$cash via sbrpoints short while ago, no minimum odds where required

.
5x rollover is standard

Won some cash from the poker tournamnet and was very surprised to find out that in addition to the 5x rollover requirement, there is another trick. All my bets must be at odds of 2 or greater. Is that requirement normal within the sports betting industry or Bodog are being very protective with that rule?

ya think so.. it is their tactics mostly on their promotions that have to bet on above 2.0 odds

ejfel01 · 02-08-11, 05:20 PM

5x rollover @ 2.0 min is pretty much. Try to ask for lowering in chat maybe

Mudcat · 02-09-11, 08:40 AM

Not bad in terms of rollover stipulations.

Thanks so much for suggesting that the OP send me a PM because I'm always happy to help, but when it comes to bonuses, rollover requirements, promos, etc, it is always best to give CS a call because I am not involved in this part of the business at all. If CS is unable to explain the requirements to your satisfaction, please let me know and I will ask a CS manager give you a call.

Thanks!

Maybe Becky you can help with my problem. Like the OP I signed up with Bodog due to the ongoing SBR tournament. I am Canadian. I was looking to make a deposit and noticed that my account was in CA instead of USD. I was never given an option upon sign up. I sent an email to your CS, but it seems they don't think it can be changed. The exchange rate would be so poor for me that I would not even attempt it unless it was "free money" from the tournament. Maybe you along with SBR can get Canadians a choice on what money is used. I promise it makes a difference. ALL of my poker and sportsbook accounts and ewallets are in USD.

I just received an email today from bodog.

Redeem your unique Casino Code: xxxxxxx

Here's the fine print on this promotion:

Except that no one gets those "great dog lines" except the very new or the people who bet favorites at any price.

Hi, I am going to speak directly with the head of Bodog.ca finance and will let you know what I hear!

frauhanna · 02-11-11, 08:56 AM

I joined 1 promo and they required me to bet 2.00 odds or higher than that or else they will not count it as my turnover

Yes I am Canadian. Thanks for trying to help, but all of my gaming and my ewallets are set up with USD accounts. It is very convenient for me and other options are really a pain. I am still wondering what the problem is for a USD account? I am sure most Canadian gamblers play in USD.
