Doug,
I know you get the bonus upfront. What I was saying is you can't cash it out until you do a 5x rollover. That's why bonuses aren't always that appealing. If you get $500 in bonuses but win 2k over the weekend and want to cash out, you can't unless you forfeit your bonuses or have met or exceeded the 5x rollover. All the stipulations and strings makes a good arguement for just not receiving any bonuses to begin with and if you have a nice or even great week, you can cash out as much as you want whenver you want with no requirements whatsoever.
It's a personal choice, sometimes I don't take the bonus, but I usually do. I'm more likely to decline it at places that have a 30 day hold, the rollover comes easy enough. It's pretty easy to push rollover with baseball dime lines.
The bonuses are getting harder to get, I've used most of the new account bonuses already so all that's left are re-ups, and many of those are dead ( for me) at places like Pinny,Sky,5D,Man,MB,SIA etc.
It's pretty hard for me to qualify for a bonus, about anywhere unless it is some some place so obscure that I haven't been there yet, and those aren't good places to be playing at now.
