How important is a bonus to you?

TheGeneral+ · Jun 28, 2004

Does that 10-20% really persuade you that much? I am a big opponent of bonuses.

Do you make this (a bonus) a top reason to sign-up these days?

It's obviously a marketing mainstay.

Thanks

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

I look for customer service and obviously reliability, dependability and a secure place to do business with.

Bonuses are good...why shoudnt the player get something back?...Online books save alot of Money compared with Books in Vegas that have buildings & more staff to pay...

That being said 5 DIMES has an excellent Bonus structure built into their software...NO CHANCE FOR DISPUTES...

You must complete your rollover before you get your free-play & you can see what percentage you are at anytime...this way there is no disputes in the Bonus...

I much prefer reduced juice to bonus money. Just a personal preference, not saying bonus books aren't good for others..

I like bonuses from top flight books. For example, I got 20% at WWTS, a top book. I sent them the limit,and made an easy 500. My bank account pays 1%.The rollover is easy to achieve.If another top flight book makes an offer in the 15 to 20 per cent, I'll jump on it.

Pinnacle doesn't offer much of a bonus, but their reduced-juice is better than almost any bonus.

Wager $100 @ -110, you get $90.91 if you win.

Wager $100 @ -107, you get $93.45 if you win.

Doesn't take long for that $2.54 to add up!

I'd prefer having no bonus, rather than jumping through a million hoops to pull my money.
I think that bonuses were put into place by the books in order to keep your money in thier banks.

I don't think I have ever gotten a bonus ever. Unless WSEX had one way back when, but I can't remember.

As long as I get paid, and they pay the wire transfers I am fine.

Personally, I love them.

best bonus is getting paid on time, and i will take that bonus

trytrytry · Jun 28, 2004

the bonus is a non factor. A variety of lines and props, and pick up the neteller fees everyonce and a while! (Free 1/2 point is also nice!)

Really don't care for bonuses. I gotta have my reduced juice! Thats worth more to me than any bonus.

if a SOLID book offers 20% I will take it over a solid book offering 15%...but ONLY if its some kind of short term special. But on the whole bonuses do not matter to much

EveryGamblersDream · Jun 28, 2004

I don't care about bonuses & prefer not to have them. I could make more in a shorter period of time without the bonus or restriction.

I think bonuses are more for the squarish type who tap out of funds faster imo.

postaldoug · Jun 28, 2004

I'll take a bonus anytime ! However it's not primary in importance !

Bonuses can be an important tool to someone trying to build bankroll, you eventually run out of shops, at least shops you want to play at !

At a certain point bonuses, become just that ... Bonuses... not a primary reason to play !

I like them, know their limitations. They are here to stay, IMO.

The books are already way ahead with -110, -107
or -105 juice. Say you deposit 1000 & get a 20%
bonus of 200 with a 5 times rollover {5 X 1200 =
6000}. And you wager 110 to win 100 on each game,
and do this about 60 times to meet the rollover,
with a 50% win-loss percentage {flipping a
coin}. If you don't bust you will lose about 300
on juice, so the books are not losing anything by
giving away the 200.

A bonus is sort of like getting a high rate of interest on an unsecured loan.

IMHO!

So what you're basically saying is: It's a nice to have, but not necessarily a need to have?

What's stopping you playing from different accounts and taking advantage of bonuses more than once?

Phaedrus · Jun 29, 2004

I'm not really swayed by bonuses, but I'd rather get a slow continuing deal than big one-offs with rollover requirements. MegaSB pays a monthly interest on your account, and Gamebookers refunds a portion of all bets (win or lose [must have a certain quantity of bets over a six-month period to qualify.]) Both of these are excellent programs that reward the long-term player, versus flashy high-percentage post-up bonuses with small print and rollover requirements.

That said, I do love the fact that chunky deposit bonuses probably lure a ton of n00b and idiot money (idiot money being team bettors and such) and if it weren't for those fools none of us who win would ever get paid.
