What is the general opinion regarding books terms and conditions for bonus turnover?

Most books insist bonuses are rolled over x10 ... but some can be found to be offering x2 or x3.

Is this a reflection on the sportsbook?

What do you think?

I think it is in a way UK..

I prefer a 3-4 times rollover but the "industry standard" I have seen is 5X I think it has to do with how big a book is IMO I could be wrong but I am interested in the reasons some go anywhere from 3x to 10x rollover

In my travels thru the SB landscape I`ve found 4 or 5 to be the norm. There WAS one place can`t remember who it was that had 2!

Dante/Silver7,

From what I have seen it looks like the lower the requirement, the bigger the book. Would you agree?

I have seen x 10 in the past and these tend to the books that you wouldn't trust with your loose change let alone your hard earned cash.

UK books are usually turnover x 1 apart from a couple who have a US customer base, where it tends to be x 2.

Where is the balance though?

Do you prefer x 2 and get tempted to cash out quickly or x 5 so you can have a real trial of a sportsbooks software?

I would prefer the lower rollover. as then i do not feel my money is tied up there for so long if I needed it...

I wish they would use a simaliar system as partypoker

I deposited $150 and the bonus was 30$ in my bonus section to get that bonus I need to play 150 "raked" hands then they give you the 30$ in your account no rollover . not sure if the books to get something like that going in some way but I do like to "SEE" how many more hands I need to get the bonus. maybe they could incorporate that same method into bonuses by the bets you make/juice you pay.


something like that ...just a thought

Dante,

What happens if you lose your money before playing the required number of hands? No bonus? That's harsh and is exactly why I prefer a bonus rollover situation because if things go wrong, you still have a lifeline to get back on form.

Also, I was only thinking of rollover of sports book bonuses. I presume casino bonuses have a much higher rollover requirement?

Agree that a "bonus checker" would be very useful as this would give you a green light to withdraw ... if you wanted to. Maybe that's why you don't see this at the moment.

Great idea.

What are the chances of getting people to list their favourite book and their bonus rollover requirement? Would give people a great insight into which books they could try without getting burned.

...well if your any type of a decent poker player you wouldn't lose $150 in 150 raked hands for example im not that great a player but I know how to play alittle. I have 161.50 and I have played 96 raked hands...so I would have to go in there with a death wish to lose all that before I get to 150 and recieve my bonus. but I do see your point.

good idea for a thread master...

good point - unfortunately, I am a very poor poker player so this situation is probably more than possible. Think I will haveto stick with sports.

I'll start thread later on - hopefully we can get some good and bad feedback on books.
