Offshore withdrawl question

[ColdBeer]

I made a deposit offshore for 1000 and got 10% bonus, fees reimbursement, and my account to start then showed 1157 or so. I bet for over 3 months and made well over 40,000 in wagers. I then had about 3500 in my account and asked for a withdrawl and was told the max. withdrawl could only be 2343 because if I took my inital deposit of 1000 back they then would have to take back the bonus and fee money. Is a bonus only for betting purposes only and that "FREE" cash not really your money no matter how long you actually keep your money on account? Are there any sportsbooks that let you take out the bonus and fees after the so called 4X or 5X rollover? Bottom line is- I need a new sportsbook if I am getting screwed here.

Thanks

It sounds as if you were given a cash bonus, which is usually yours to keep after the rollover requirement is met. Maybe it is different at this particular book. Next time, read the rules regarding bonuses closely.

But to answer your final question, yes there are many reputable books out there that will allow you to keep the bonus money as well after all rollover requirements have been met. Books such as Pinnacle and Olympic.

If the story you're telling is true, then you're absolutely, positively, being raped by an unscrupulous, lying, scheming, cheating, deceitful, thieving sportsbook.

You should absolutely email the fine mods here for intervention...what the book is telling you is an absolute crock of sh*t. Bonus money is yours to wager with and/or keep once you fulfill the rollover requirement, which you clearly have done.

Email the mods immediately.

And post the name of the book here so that no one ever posts up with such a conniving book.

What a lame, cheap, stupid trick. That's gotta be one of the lowest I've EVER read here or experienced.

Cold Beer,

Here at www.beverlyhillsbookie.com once you have rolled over the required amount, you can cash out your entire balance if you like.

Hey Pete --

I just looked outside my window and saw an ambulance with the lights blaring and siren wailing racing down the street.

You want me to hurry up and chase after it and see if I can catch a phone number or something?

I'm sure you and the boys at www.beverlyhillsbookie.com, where once meeting the rollover requirement, one can cash out his own balance if he likes, would appreciate it.

Thanks for the info. Thats what I was thinking but I am new to the internet thing and took their word for it. I ended up cashing out for 2000 and left 1483 in my account and ended up losing it all to quick. Kinda put a sour taste in my mouth and havn't posted up money overseas since, but now since I know whats up I may try again. Thanks.

I couldn't agree more!!!...But If this is true,why not name the book?

That's called a "sticky" bonus and it's offered a lot at internet casinos. The only time i've had to deal with it in a sportsbook was when I won a contest and the contest promotion was "sticky".

This is definitely one of the worst bonus offerings out there, because you have to deal with the rollover, as well as forfeit the bonus on withdrawl.

Another reason to carefully read the "terms and conditions" before posting up!

Lowest required rollover for +10% I can find is 2.5x rolled over. But it's unlimited amount.

Lowest for +20% is 5x, but only up to $500.

 

[ColdBeer]

It was at Grand Central Sports and at the time I thought they were a reputable sportsbook. I am second guessing myself right about now.

MVPsportsbook requires a 2 time rollover on his 10% bonus, that's the lowest I've seen so far.

Yeah but it's capped...

 

[peteep]

www.linesmaker.com has only a 2x rollover and a 10% bonus (no cap). I have grown very fond of this book.

Betgameday offers 20% with only 3x rollover. In fact, I have seen a number of books offering 20% with less than 5x rollover.

Someone wanted my "opinion" on a vacuum cleaner today. They were going to bring me a free set of knives. After several phones calls assuring me they weren't selling, only soliciting opinions, and me giving the "opinion" that I did not want a demonstration, they never arrived.

What does this have to do with sports? Well I was watching Boston go down in flames and caveat emptor applies to any "gift".
