LUCKILY, THE 5 BOOKS I USE ARE ALL SOLID, BUT, IF I WERE LOOKING AT A NEW BOOK, FIRST OFF I WOULD BE WARY OF THE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE BONUS...IS THE BOOK THAT HARD UP FOR CUSTOMERS? SECONDLY, ALMOST ALL BONUSES REQUIRE SOME TYPE OF COMMITMENT/ROLLOVER REQUIREMENT!!! JUST LAST WEEK A FRIEND OF MINE WANTED TO BET ON THE WORLD SERIES OF POKER... HE DIDNT HAVE AN OFFSHORE ACCOUNT....HE WANTED TO PLAY WITH BO-DOG BECAUSE HE LIKED SOME OF THIER ODDS. I DONT USE BO-DOG... SO I CALLED BO-DOG AND EXPLAINED THAT I WANTED TO GIVE THEM $300 WORTH OF ACTION ON THE WSOP AND THAT IF WE HIT WE WANTED TO WITHDRAWL THE WHOLE BALANCE.(A HIT AND RUN) THE WOMAN I SPOKE TOO STARTED ABOUT A BONUS...... I SAID NO! NO THANK YOU! WERE GOING TO BET THE $300 AND THATS ALL THE ACTION WERE GOING TO GIVE YOU! SHE SET UP THE ACOUNT, BUT WHEN MY BUDDY MAKES THE DEPOSIT HE SAYS THE ACCOUNT SHOWS $360, SO IM BACK ON THE PHONE AND TELL THEM THAT WE DONT WANT THE DAMN BONUS!THE GUY IS LIKED STUNNED!!!BUT HE TOOK IT OUT FOR US! WE LOST THE WAGERS OBVIOUSLY, BUT IF WE WOULD HAVE HIT FOR LIKE $20,000 WE WOULD HAVE WANTED TO WITHDRAWL IT ALL AND CLOSE THE ACCOUNT! THERFORE WE DIDNT WANT TO BE BOTHERD WITH BONUS...AND DIDNT REALLY FEEL WE DESERVED ONE!
Nothing wrong with bonuses. Roll requirements mean almost nothing if you plan to keep wagering. I have never had any trouble meeting a roll requirement including a 10 x roll. Can't think of a reason I would need to withdraw cash at a moments notice, that's the only resaon a roll would matter. I take bonuses everywhere.
Give Me The $$$
Why the hell would I open an acct. only to w/d in a wk? I will start playing extensively as soon as foots roll around and either bust out or keep it going till the SB. If I need the money that badly I shouldn`t be gambling in the first place. Yes I`m w/Pinny there ARE books a few, where the advantages outweigh a small bonus. Not all decent (20%) bonus shops are low end, i.e. BetJamaica etc. And what`s 3 or 4xroll anyway get that in a mo. or less on $500 dep.

I don't take them mainly b/c I am stubborn and don't want any problems when I am ready to withdraw. I am a small time player and don't play much unless it is foots and that is usually with a local. But this upcoming season will be different b/c my local will probably be retiring. I have used him for 15 years.
I pay as I go and don't want to owe anybody anything and don't want to feel forced to play just to get what I feel is mine.. When I look at the balance, I want to know that is the balance with no strings attached.
It is a state of mind for me.

I came up pitching quarters against the wall. I take every single sign up bonus and reup bonus available. Rollover never a factor, as I am high volume. They might have a long hold, 30-60 days, fine with me. If I hit the rollover, the money can sit until I make a test withdrawal. I count the bonuses as net profit, and just adds to the Omnivorous approach. I never whore, jump out after meeting requirements, or beard, I keep it on the level, like the books intended it. I also let them know on initial withdraw and requirement confirmation that I am staying. Like any other offer for the players, knuckleheads will abuse it, and wreck it for everyone else. Are they a deciding factor of me starting at a book. No.
