Say you can only have funds at one book. One book offers 200% FP and another offers 100% cash. Say you want to deposit $1K.

Holding all else equal, is the FP still that much of a better deal?

According to the EV calculation in post #2 of this thread, if you are betting your bonus as opposed to hedging it, then 200FP is exactly the same as 100 cash bonus.

But you need to take into account the book terms and what is allowed to be bet with a freeplay as opposed to cash as well.

I miss Bet Jamaica and 5Dimes, A nice blast from the past 11 years ago.

Cash is always easy with almost all the sportsbooks having defensive freeplay rules.
