Almost every business in the world offers a form of bonus if you really think about it.

Love my bagel toaster that my bank gave me, as it can even toast large power bagels!

We could go back to the green stamp days, cigarette coupons, baseball cards in gum packs or todays lower interest on cars or frequent flyer programs, sales at stores, etc etc etc. These are all marketing tactics and forms of bonuses.

I didn't read thru thread, too long ! I got only one bonus from Pinny. One from Skybook and 5 Dimes, whom I have beaten badly. If Canbet wants a chance at their money back, give me a bonus. Bonuses are part of the business, it covers your losses when you get Pan-am-ed !

Bonuses won't go away, smart books only give one (PIN) or only to losers (50C,ents, etc. . SKY). Other questionable books with high bonuses are ripe to scalp because you don't know if you'll get paid. If I lose a nickle to Jake ( sportbet) and a year later he gives me $100 to come back, that's his decision.

You're right - most books have policys that basically prevent winners from getting bonuses - but, as I said before, cris awards loyalty points based on play that can be redeemed for free-plays - i.e. winners get bonuses too :)

What everyone has failed to mention, is that only proven losers are awarded bonuses. If you win and try to cash out, you will never be welcomed back or labled a syndicate, or come here crying stiff.

Books cannot afford to offer bonuses period. Someone should lay the basic math out for all to see. Just because a shop has had a 20% reload on their site for 5 years just means that you must be a consistent loser for the time you reloaded with them.

Vegas casinos (I'm told) don't exceed 10% max on player comps. Do you doubt their expertise?

10% Bonuses= simply mean that you have chosen to deposit your money with a shop operating at 1/1. O% hold.

I love and profit from the BetCRIS loyalty bonus. Like Nimue says, regardless win or lose, you still get the Bonus Bet and the free stuff. Better than the can't win loyalty points at Neteller. Here you gets sports pager, got one, polo shirts, close to 20 now, t-shirts, and hats, even mouse pad. There are even angles to get the most for your points. Then the Bonus Plays, that is just free money, and not chump change either. My best take is 3 dimes, for zero risk.

As far as bonuses, they all offer something somewhere. I did get a big signup bonus with Pinny, many moons ago. And the reduced juice is a per bet bonus. Same with any other reduced juice shop. Hollywood, IIS and Platinum. These are bonuses. Some offer choice, fit your style. These bonus are like free bugs for my FROGS. Keep them eating and healthy for when a big meal floats by. But I do not whore them. That is wrong, and not what they are for. I keep playing, collect them once. No hit and run for me. However, if I pull all my funds out, and am gone for an extended period of time, then entice me back if you would like. What it really amounts to is the books are betting you cannot beat them. 98% of the time they are right.

Thats funny about the neteller points, I have actually built mine up since the start of last football season and I could probably take a shot at the monthly and have mabye a 10% shot - but you're right - the loyalty points there are worth very little.

Surprised CRIS hasn't excluded you from the loyalty points program frog.:icon_conf

Have they excluded anyone? You Pancho? Why would they, because I win? They are unreal as far as winners, never cut me , my horses, my limits, nothing. I am adhering to all of their rules. Try to give them their deserved props. And they pay like clockwork. Only grumble I ever got was when I used to call in to cash loyalty points. The girl asked, what do you do with all of these shirts? One time I got a local girl in C.S. She ran a game on me like I was a newbie, tried to negotiate what I would get with my points, saying I no longer could use them. Then reduced their value and I just went along for the ride. No complaints but I posted the incident here. Immediately got everything I earned, and never had to barter again. Now just do it through internet, immediate to quick approval. Bet CRIS is as solid as I have ever dealt with, in all areas. Always a core, benjamin rating book, especially with loyalty bonus.

Mr. Frog:


They cut me from the program in 2002. I had about 3k worth of Bonus Bets built up and a free sportspager and they cut me off from the loyalty program. When I called to ask why they said that I was "sharp" and a "wise guy". They did tell me I could continue to play there but I wasn't eligible for any bonuses.



I just can't believe they haven't cut you off yet because you are the best!

Man, that is strange, maybe they do not cut anyone off anymore. All I know for sure is my experiences, and I let you know honestly. I win at the account, and I win at the Bonus Plays. Very consistently. My associates and I always say, Bet CRIS will never cut you off. Quit scaring me.

CRIS reduced me to a nickel max on the web,:sad3: can get more on the phone but I hate calling in plays.

Took my loyalty points away years ago, they still kick ass.:dancefool

I still get full limits, loyalty points, everything. I can also get more calling in, but I prefer the internet also. Last 10 weeks probably show a miniscule profit, but 10 before that were big hitters. I guess I am a lucky square like Jessica at WWTS says. But she just says lucky FROG. You know I never call them up and ask, why haven't you cut me off yet? Probably an unwise move. No explanation...
