30 days with the account and a rollover requirement met, but wagers are made in only 2 of the 4 weeks in that 30 days of betting!

TheGeneral+ · Aug 10, 2003

Is this reason for a book to say that your account was not active for 30 days and seize bonus money? How do you consider an account not active when the rollover and time frame stated was met? I have seen it stated that you must make atleast 2 wagers per week, but if one does the proper rollover and time while skipping a week, why is this important? More curiousity than anything here.

Any opinions on this scenerio?

Your rollover requirement WAS made and the 30 days are over.I never seen it anywhere at states that is have to bet every week during the 30 days as long as the rollover is done.
If you have to bet $10 a day on 1 game for two weeks and get out of there!

General, I do not think it matters if you bet once get the rollover on that one bet and wait 30 days ....you kept up your end of the bargain

If you have done the roll over and been a client for 30 day, you should be able to request any money in account. some shops have a 30 day active rule, that means you have to make at least 1 bet on 30 calander days. Most players do not want there money tied up for 30 days. Thats why I removed this rule from our bonus, just roll the money and its yours.

What if you go on vacation?

That's a complete BS rule.

Any rule that is stated on a company's website is the rule that should be adhered to by the player and the book. Why is that so difficult for people to grasp.

TheGeneral+ · Aug 10, 2003

I agree Wanna, but as stated above, some books may review this rule and make changes to the criteria needed to achieve bonus requirements. I am seeking just that here.

And using the analogy below, I see no problem with that.

The Judge said to my other half in my divorce case, "Mrs General, you may request anything in the world in this court, but that doesn't mean you will get anything"

Players Superbook, MVP, Virtual Wager bonus policy, I think the 30 day active rule is bullshit:

All bonus money is credited immediately (pagers and/or cell phones shipped immediately), but are yours to keep only after you have wagered your deposit amount, bonus amount, and transfer fee amount two times and actively wagered for a minimum of 30 days from each deposit. Otherwise, bonus amounts, transfer fee amounts, and/or pager and cell phone costs will be deducted from your account prior to any withdrawal being processed.

The "at least 2 wagers per week" unpublished rule is used by one book to take away bonuses.

1. The rule is totally a BS.
What is the difference to the book if I make one bet of $900 or make 30 bets for $30 each?
The juice the book get is the same, while the overhead for 30 bets is much higher which does not do the book any good.
Why cannot I take a break for 7 days from sports betting? After all, most recreational sports bettor do not bet too frequently.
If I bet every day, will they blame me to be a professional bettor and take the bonus away?

2. The rules should be published up front.
If a book, on the one hand, hangs 20% sign up and %15 reload bonuses on its web page, and on the other hand, takes away the bonus citing some unpublished rules and accusing players as bonus chasers, then that is a typical bonus scam.

Sportbet took away my bonus on this rule. The problem is that only they know what "active" means.

caveat emptor.

Make sure you ask about bonus policies when you sign up with a book. It is the job of no one to tell you, you HAVE to ask.

i beg to differ radiofreecostarica.... it is the job of the company to provide the service to its customer.

If you are not informing the customer you are not providing the service.
