    How about have Justin address this sportsbook issue at a major book
    Aug.26 - Betonline deposits $50 freeplay into every player's account
    Sept1 - Betonline sends e-mail out offering 50% freeplay to players with the following terms at the bottom of the e-mail

    *Terms and conditions: 1. A minimum deposit of $50.00 is required to qualify for this bonus. 2. The maximum bonus is $900.00. 3. There is a 10x (ten time) rollover requirement associated with this bonus. 4. In order to receive this bonus you must use the promocode”50BACK” in the cashier while making your deposit. 5. This promotion expires on September 8th, 2012 at 11:59pm (ET). 6. This promotion is by invitation only and non-transferrable. 7. BetOnline reserves the right to modify or discontinue this promotion at their discretion. 8. Standard terms and conditions apply to all bonuses, please see website Rules for details. 9. This offer is valid only once per account. 10. This promotion cannot be combined with any other offer. 11. No withdrawal can be made for 30 days after the bonus has been credited to your account. 11. This offer is not valid if you’ve taken advantage of another 50% free play offer within the last 30 days.

    Nothing in there says
    1. Only players with 0 balances are eligible
    2. Players must also have no freeplay already in account or a freeplay bet pending

    You will only discover #1 and #2 after checking their site or talking to a rep (i.e. following up on #8). How about making books honor promotional e-mails that pretend to have self-contained bonus terms? Most players won't check the site for the rules if it appears all the rules are already in the e-mail.

    How many players do you think they duped into depositing for 0 bonus? A couple threads on here about it already. Probably many since they purposely threw $50 into everyone's account first so 95% of people are ineligible.

    Instead Justin just makes videos about silly things done by no name books. How about talking about the books people actually play at?

    Either way great ploy on the part of Betonline

    Just don't use BetOnline no matter what. Problem solved. Book should be rated a D/D-.

        I don't believe SBR has received any complaints on that issue. If a complaint were submitted, and if the facts turned out to be as simple as you describe, I'd suggest that Betonline should give the depositing player a choice: keep the $50 freebet from earlier and get no deposit bonus, or remove the $50 freebet from earlier and receive his regular deposit bonus offered in the email.

          Do you think I wrote the italicized part above myself?

          Of course it's true

              I just wanted your take. You gave it. Think it's obviously misleading and they should honor all deposits.

              BOL sending out promo e-mails even though they know they made everyone ineligible as of Aug26. The only people who became eligible again were those who bet and lost the $50 freeplay in a period of 5 days. BOL curiously omits this fact... Nice move.

                I doubt there was this much planning or malice. Probably just a random oversight when the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

                  Can't u find something else to complain about, other than start a thread about a book giving out free money to everyone and u think they have some agenda here. Also just like the other guy said u really don't have to play here if u don't want to.

                            LOL look at the title of the thread u idiot, your just as dumb as the OP for saying this. A book gave out a freeplay to every customer and u and OP think they r trying to ripoff someone. Anyone in this forum ever heard of Football season books r known for giving great bonuses this time of the year. U might be a groupie of OP but im not.
