1st fidelity, www.youwager.com - i shouldn't play there

DDz00 · Sep 17, 2005

Well, I won $75 on their scratch ticket and saw 20% sign up bouns.
All i have to do is deposit $300 or more.

so i did.
so i got over $75 + $60 = 135. not bad bonus for $300.

But after I played the bonus money, I noticed that it is all MATCH PLAY money
come on~~ i even chat with them before i opened acct but they never said that. They even said that there is 4.5x rollover on everything (my initial depot + bonuses).

So, i thought that was all cash bonus. BUT IT WAS WRONG.

Don't take their bonus...................it is not good.

SCRATCH TICKET? TRHOW AWAY.

To me? it is scam~~

Make sure before taking ANY bonus that you understand ALL the parameters involved.

This includes rollovers, cash or matchplay, holding periods, etc., etc.

They give you a bounus and if Nate doesn't like the way you bet they'll slash your limits and make you phone in all your bets. It's not worth playing there.

i need to pay half of the match bonus, $67. (what they said b/c i don't meet the requirement which i understand)

I have around $400 now.

Should I cash out and move to other books?

1st Fidelty is okay but I just hate myself that i became a fool.
I just don't like the way of they got me.

It will be around $330 if i take my money out. i believe there is 30% CASH BONUS site so i might get the almost same amount of money.

I have received 8 mailings from them this week. I would never joint this kind of book. One day I recieved 3 separate mailings. I scratch off the tickets and toss them in the garbage.

First of all they give 10% cash or 20% freeplay, If they didn't tell you that, then they are wrong! I see you recieved 20% so it must have been a Bonus Play. They also owe you the transfer fees if you went through Western union. If not then it sounds about right. Thats where they get you if you don't know their 10% cash or 20% Bonus Play. Many here hate the shop, with so many others out there move on. I recieve scratch offs from Heritage too does that make them a bad shop??

A number of books offer match plays nowdays, CRIS, DSI, 5Dimes to mention some. I see nothing wrong with it. Its FREE money anyways.....

GL with your plays.
