Many so called "experts" in the industry 3-5 years ago claimed the end of the offshore bonuses would definetly be here by now.

Stated then that I didn't see that happening in anyway whatsoever, and in fact, thought there actually may be more!

Well, look around these days,..................BONUSES are in full force and are as strong as EVER!

Once WSEX gives 20%, it's tough for the smaller books. They have to do them one better, so don't be surprised to see 25% or 30% bonuses (but with larger rollovers)

Put it this way, I never pass up ANY reputable bonus from ANY reputable shop.

For just a small example, there is no reason whatsoever for me personally to pass on any of the bonuses currently being offered in the offshore forum by the array of sportsbooks that are offering them, unless of course I am ineligible to recieve them due to past history with a pasticular shop.

If I see a quarter on the street, I pick it up.

Nothing personal, but I have always wondered why people who shop for bonuses (and play by the rules) are called WHORES while people who shop for lines are not.

Isn't it the same thing?

If one follows the rules and doesn't do anything that is considered to be a scam...........there is absolutely nothing wrong with being an individual who joins or re-ups with a sportsbook and collects a bonus...... then if they so desire to withdraw all their funds, after honestly completing their rollover in a 100% honest fashion, then they should be able to do so without being labeled anything negative.

A lot less books going belly up these days too.

I guess theyve all figured out what they can and can't get away with.
Some of those Big bonuses still scare me. But truth be told, I dont have a real reason to be worried.

Good topic Fish.

As Rob stated, BJ just provided a nice bonus for RX posters.

Heritage recently offered a 40% bonus to qualifed customers and 20% to non-qualifiers on re-ups.

I would tell each individual to call Heritage and see what they currently offer!!

CRIS has their nice matchplays, free pager, and loyality program too currently that is imo a MUST to take advantage of for football season.

Not that I blame you for grabing all the bonus' you can get.I am against the industry giving them out.I am against these bonus'.I cant say it enough.Some of these books can not afford the money,sharp players they will get,type of action they will receive.Remember if one B-graded shop closes doors,your bonus accumilation will be lost and then some.
The B shops have to give them out to try and keep pace with the big BOYS,but in the long run its going to eat them up.
Dont be surprised if its fools-gold in them hills.GREENHEAD

Time will tell. So far I had one D shop drop, but even if I donated 7 bills back, always maintained a low balance, I still netted there, +13. But those 30%, 25% and 40% do add up. I could take a hit at my bonus accumulation anytime. No doubt. But I can either leave it on the table or take it. Hopefully enough squares are also joining, drifting to the casinos, balancing action and chasing, going tilt. If it is done right, I am collecting from them, the book is a holding company.

One problem is the competitive nature of the business. Pinny, Oly and Wsex offering bonuses. Do not see that everyday. So the other guys have to outbid them, just tweek the rollovers. Especially the bonus season, late Aug to early Sept. Also you see options, the bigger bonuses with shops that do not have reduced juice. Some groups have 1 of each, a reduced juice shop, with no bonuses and a full juice with bonuses. Pick your poison. But like I said, every knucklehead in the world deposits before football. Once that feeding frenzy ends it will be back to 10% and nothing. But while the feeding frenzy is taking place, my FROGS are glomming all they can.

Best Wishes...OF:howdy:

The odds are really against you win you to do any rollover.playing with no bonus is your best chance to win. a 7x roll or so means death.

it may fall!! I see no harm in collecting one. I post up and play at least till SB or bust out. Some RX posters that I respect bring up the rollover and/or the 30 or 60 day hold. Neither of these effect me and I don`t quite understand the thinking when it comes to having the funds "available". If you have to have that quick an access to your money you shouldn`t have put in jeopardy in the 1st place. Leave it in Wells Fargo you can always get it there. I got a great bonus from a great book and will enjoy every penney!!
