Question about a Bonus Play bonus

[gatorbait08]

I recieved a Bonus Play bonus and need to know how it works. I understand about the roll over but when will it be posted to my balance? Do i need to bet it all on one game? what if i only use 20 of it

u have to check with the book.... most books allow you to bet it in chunks, so lets say you have $100 Bonus Play balance, and you bet $20, then you will have $80 left in your Bonus Play balance.

BP you can play it in chunks, you have a seperate balance which is called your Bonus Play balance, when you make a bit there is a little box to check if you want to make the bet from your regular cash or from your Bonus Play balance, and its no problem to bet it in chunks.

Ok so lets say i only use 20 of it this week and i win the bet will 20 be credited to my balance or will my Bonus Play have 120 in it?

when you win your bet, your winnings go to your CASH/REGULAR balance, not your Bonus Play balance.

You can bet chunks, I suggest you do.... on longshots and parlays. Calculating the rollover is tough , the way BP does it, if you already have a cash balance. I suggest doing it all one day or weekend ( multiple bets, if desired), then you'll have some kind of figure to work with on the rollover.

It will be very complicated if you use the FP over many weeks, with a cash balance already there. I wouldn't want to have to figure that out.

At Phoenix, the Bonus Play should become available immediately. Make sure you contact them through live chat if the FP balance isn't showing up yet.

dont think this is very sound advice, the odds of getting the best available line all in one day, all at one sportsbook is slim to none, if you are not in a rush, you should play it soundly and with care, while shopping for the best available line, dont be desperate just to get it rolled over.

as far as calculating the rollover, well, you dont really have to because you can ask customer service to do it for you at any time, besides, is it your intention to ask for a withdrawal the second the rollover is completed to the dollar? without risking a penny more? I know some people play like this, personally, I usually give the sportsbook a little more as a good will gesture as I dont want to be seen as "that guy".

One thing I do suggest is to keep print outs of your transaction history depending on how long the transaction history at the particular book goes back, for example at Betjamaica the "account statement" only goes back 14 days, so if you print it once every 14 days you will have a permanent record, this of course will allow you to verify any rollovers that are calculated by customer service.

Well, \I like Phoenix, a lot, but they have a bit of a problem accounting with this stuff, IMO ! I'd just shoot it all, on a CFB Sat/day, then go from there.

If you stretch it out, the rollover can't complete, as long as you have FP remaining, eh ?

Perhaps, Doug doesn't know jack about using Freeplays.... that must be it ?
