Being sterotyped as a steam chaser/syndicate or pro?

bigbet1234 · Oct 12, 2004

I see this a lot now when signing up and taking a bonus.

Say I go into book A and deposit $2000 and get a 10% bonus. I play their required amount, maybe a little over, have a pretty good run, or dont, and decide to withdrawal my money.

Am I considered a steam chasing bonus whore?? what gives? Why is it, when you follow all the rules, and want to get paid, everything changes.

Again, I feel I am not a steam chaser. I just try and find the best number available.

I have not been called a steam chaser or bonus whore. I like the free perks certain books offer. But after reading some of the rules, it scares me into not even wanting the free perks anymore.

They say they can hold winnings and everything.

Some books like to use a rule to keep bonus monies issued to players even if the player meets all rollover requirements.

The rule is simply "We reserve the right to revoke bonuses on professional players".

I think it is more like a way to keep the bonuses of winners. If I deposit 10 dimes today and get 20%, there is a chance I will win money and satisfy rollover rules. Just because I win does not mean I am a professional player.

And there is always the catch all "These bonuses and incentives are subject to change without notice."

C'mon Sportsbooks. If you do not want the winners atleast do them right and pay them in full & then boot or reduce limits.

By stating they are steam chasers, professionals, or somehow abusing your bonus because they win & stealing their money is an unethical approach.

I am all for loyalty to the books from players, but I cannot see not paying a player just because you assume he/she is a professional because they happen to win.

You tease them in with a nice bonus and then do not want to pay if they win.

If you want to play, then be willing to pay.

Thanks
