Was thinking about signing up here because of the bonus, but was a little wary seeing as how they don't accept CC payments directly. How safe would my money be with this book?

The fact they do not take CC's is a good thing. It's cash in, cash out. No hassles, no paperwork, fast payouts. To me it does not suggest anything other than they have a business model that works and they stick with it. Involving a CC processor (a.k.a 3rd party) just adds one more level where things can go wrong and funds can be caught up both coming and/or going.

Not to mention it all but eliminates fraudulant charges, chargebacks, and all other risks a book opens themselves up to when taking CC deposits. That equals more benefits and faster, reliable payouts for the player. It's not rocket science.

All the w/d's I've recvd from them have been same day payouts. No other top book offers that regularly right now.

Seems like a nice offer. Maybe I'll join. I've passed until now.

**marcojuiceman** · 02-21-12, 09:13 PM

great offer in my opinion

**mh217** · 02-22-12, 03:45 AM

sounds good maybe i'll try em out...i can do that 12x rollover in a day or 2 easy..anyone know if they let you hook up quarters??

**Nick Papageorgio** · 02-22-12, 04:26 AM

Can we still get the 8x or 10x roll by request? Anyone. Should be sending something to BI soon, on ice after my recent mental breakdown on 5Dimes.

lol, a day or two?

**ehp6737** · 02-22-12, 09:45 AM

Took advantage of it this morning. Normally I dont take bonuses, but 110% is just too juicy to pass up

**PharaohUB** · 02-22-12, 09:46 AM

Not a bad deal. The only scary thing is the roll over is based on the higher of free play amount or free play winnings. So if you actually do make a little change with a parley on the freeplay your roll over could be through the roof.

I'm still seeing -107 when I log in. Must just apply to new customers.

**BigDaddy** · 02-22-12, 10:35 AM

is this the 100% FP + 10% cash like they did before the superbowl

or is it all FP bonus?

**mh217** · 02-22-12, 10:36 AM

Great deal from a great book

**marcojuiceman** · 02-22-12, 11:47 AM

**Mikail** · 02-22-12, 11:53 AM

This is why I never personally, and would never recommend to anyone, doing a parlay with your FP. Quite to the contrary. Make a straight wager(s), turn into cash at FP value, or slightly less, and then bet your parlay(s) after winning FP bet, hence keeping your RO amount as low as possible.

I never understood these players that bet a 3 teamer, or whatever, with their FP. For example, you dep $100 & get $100 FP. 3 teamer hits, you win $600. Now you got to RO 600+100 x 12 = 8400. Instead, you should be doing a straight bet first for $100, win $90 or whatever, now your RO is 100+100 x 12 = 2400. Once you win that initial straight bet off your FP then go crazy with parlays and ML plays.

I'm just speaking in generalities, not necessarily about the BI promo. Most books calculate RO by greater of the winnings from FP or FP amount, but not all books. A few will only calculate the initial FP amount, not the winnings derived from FP. I'm not sure what BI's policy is as I've gotten conflicting info on the matter from them.

**PharaohUB** · 02-22-12, 12:38 PM

People Parley the free play because this will give you the highest expected return. Books know this. Some books fight it by not allowing you to parley free plays. Some books fight it by making you roll over freeplay winnings if they are higher. Some books like Heritage are just pure awesome and don't restrict you either way.

you are clueless..all you have to do to meet a rollover is your deposit..not your freeplay winnings..thats been the case at every major book forever

**yisman** · 02-22-12, 02:14 PM

All the books I use have the rollover apply to deposit+bonus.

So if you deposit $500 and get a $100 bonus, it'd be $600 x however many times rollover.

At Heritage it's like that, at DSI it's like that, etc.

Definitions/Rules
The following terms and their respective definitions are frequently used in our Bonuses.
Rollovers are calculated based on deposit + freeplay winnings x rollover amount.
If a player deposits and loses his freeplay balance his rollover will then be calculated deposit + freeplay amount received and rollover established.
Example A: Player deposits $200 for a $200 freeplay with a 9 x rollover. The player wins $300 of the freeplay the rollover calculation would be $200 + 300 x 9 = $4500 rollover required.
Example B: Player deposits $200 for a $200 freeplay with a 9 x rollover. The player losses the freeplay the rollover calculation would be $200 + 200 x 9 = $3600 rollover required

If anyone was wondering, you cannot request the 8x or 10x rollover rather than 12x like some here on sbr said you could for their super bowl bonus that was similar to this... per Ashley via live chat.
