    Dumb? I must be dumb for accepting such a bad bonus. Sure beats a zero bonus.

    got my 300 deposit up to almost 600 after freeplay and just one small play. need to meet the rollover but I dont feel DUMB about accepting this bonus. only way it would be DUMB is if I dont get paid. I have gotten paid by BP before so I'm not worried about that.

    I don't get anyone who thinks 10x is a big rollover. That's anywhere from $1000 to maybe $1500 depending on free play winnings. Even if you bet $25 a game, that's 60 bets. $50 a bet, 30 bets. That's maybe a month's worth of bets if you don't go crazy. That's an easy turn around to your money if you win, IMO.

    I agree. I don't understand it. Why would someone want to take a $100-300 deposit out so quick? Unless you were doing something crazy and needed money bad so you want to throw it on a game, then remove it to pay a bill.

    I have made over $1800 in bets over two months with a $25 deposit.

    Put on less then you were going to and enjoy the bonus IMO.

    I have never used a place before that has gave me a bonus for a deposit (I have used some free play deals here) but might at a later date.

    I received a email from them for this promotion. It doesn't say anything about only being for US citizens.

    here is one of their rollover rules, say I bet 1k on a ml to win $100 and it is a lose, only $100 will be counted towards the rollover.

    That bet won't count. (moneylines up to +/-200)

I had my bonuses credited within about 2 minutes of my deposit as I was talking to someone via Live Chat at the time of the deposit.

    Anywho, just a heads up for any bonus hunters.

    There is a 10x rollover on the deposit amount + the cash bonus amount + free play winnings.
    you dont find the rollover absolutely ridiculous?

    x10 rollover is a standard in many places and with betphoenix odds is easily achievable. the issue here is the integrity of the book itself. and they are spammers!

    Pretty much a useless bonus, given the rollover.

    i just like to really debate, so. useless bonus because of rollover.

    based on the fact that the deposit, for the bonus is low, 100-200. mine was 300.

    i would assume u would want to double the deposit before u ask for a withdrawal. yes? i mean do u really need 100 or 200 dollars if u just gave them anywhere from 100-300.

    so, my example.
    deposit $300(in any book, with no bonus)
    ok.
    say u hit 55% on just straight ats plays at an average of -110 lines.
    its not wise to bet more than 10% per play so i'll use that as an example.

    200 plays at 55%= (110-90) wagering 33 to win 30 on each game. profit =+330. (now u have doubled ur roll and might want a withdrawal.)

    200 games at $30 a pop= $6000 rollover. u would only be required to have a $6000 rollover if u made 150 from ur freeplay.
    in my example, i deposited 300, got 150 cash free, and made 100 from the freeplay. so my rollover is 5500.

    so, in conclusion, if i would follow this guideline of 30 per game at 55% over 200 games. I would have made a profit of +330 +$150 free cash+ $100 free cash from freeplay, for a total net of +580. the free money also gives u many opportunities to go outside the box a few times. big parlays and larger wagers if u just act like the free cash isnt really there. (not reccomended but it is an OPPORTUNITY).

    also, if u take ur entire bankroll, say 300. try to win 600 before withdrawal. bet to win 100 each game.
    if u got 6-0 +600(you've reached ur goal of +600) 2x rollover already accomplished
    if u lose 1 game u would need to go 8-1 to be a above 600. (+690) 3x rollover already accomplished.
    lose 2 games 9-2 +680 3.6 x rollover accomplished
    lose 3 games 10-3 +670 4.3 x roll
    lose 4 games 11-4 +660 5 x roll
    lose 5 games 12-5 +650 5.6 x rol
    lose 6 games 13-6 +640 6.3x roll
    lose 7 games 14-7 +630 7x roll
    lose 8 games 15-8 +620 7.6x roll
    lose 9 games 16-9 +610 8.3x roll
    lose 10 games 17-10 +600 9x roll
    lose 11 games 19-11 690 10x roll.

    i understand these percentages and runs are possible but lets be honest not likely, just showing how easy and common a 10 x rollover can be accomplished. i mean, think about it, take ur whole balance, the first play, u have already accomplish a 1x rollover. just saying.

    bonuses are not for everybody, but calling it stupid and worthless, is your opinion and a bad opinion to people that might want some extra cash.

    I wish I knew this before betting a Euro hockey game 2 days ago almost -400 that lost. Anyway, it did count towards the rollover, the amount I would have won, $100.


    I deposited on Sun $300, lost the 1/2 freeplay and had the rollover met on Tues. I play casino a lot, but not here because it doesn;t count for the rollover.
