Thoughts on this BONUS rule from SOS(and others)

NETELLER 10% BONUS DEPOSIT STRUCTURE

Effective March 1, 2006, ALL customers will receive a 10% bonus on ALL NETeller deposits from SOS. Please note that the MAXIMUM daily bonus amount is $250.00.

However, ALL bonuses will EXPIRE when you request a Payout. This means that when you deposit money via NETeller, you will get a 10% bonus (maximum daily bonus of $250). You will now have some extra money from SOS to wager with. However, when you call to request a payout, ALL the 10% Bonuses that you have received from March 1, 2006, to the date of your payout request, will be removed first, then the payout can be processed. Therefore, you get extra money to play with to get more opportunity to win more money, but it is not your money, it is a short-time loan from SOS.

This is how mybookie did it as well. FINE, but one should have to call and this should be explained before a deposit is made (hence no one would go there). Customers are depositing expecting normal bonus rules, they advertise a 10% bonus etc and then take it way. Even if one read the fine print this may be missed. You even lose it on a partial withdrawal. Many surprised and unhappy customers come withdrawal time.

On a side note---I have been calling most shops lately as not to get tricked in match-play, so I allways call first now.

NEVER a bad idea!!!

If I'm reading this correctly..

April 5 - Deposit $2500, get $250 bonus, proceed to lose it all.

April 22 - Deposit $2500, get $250 bonus, proceed to lose it all..

May 7 - Deposit $2500, get $250 bonus, get balance to $4000, request a cashout..

They'll deduct $750 from the $4000, leaving you with $3250..

If so, I don't think it'll prove to be very popular..

My thoughts on this bonus: It's garbage! Ridiculous rule IMO. Not worth playing there - better bonus options out there.

I am extremely anti-30 day rules too. I won't be forced to leave my money somewhere that long. I'll gladly give you a 4x-10x rollover.

I hate sticky bonuses...they stink...

Doug · Mar 10, 2006

That's worse than sticky, it's retroactive sticky !

I'm starting to hate sticky bonuses myself. Although Skybook's isn't as sticky, the only reason I posted up with them was because of their new horse matchups. Now of course today they don't have them. Starts to make me nervous in regards to whether they will have them going forward. Otherwise they want me to roll my cash because I can't forfeit a bonus or withdraw the money. Just have a really bad feeling it's going to be a major pain in the ass.

Just play both sides of a hoops game with a good exchange line, you might even catch a side.

Nobody handles bonuses better than Skybook. The email that they send is as clear as it could be.....explains the bonus amount, the rollover req, and the fact that the bonus IS part of the rollover req (Normal-but some people don't realize this).

By being 100% upfront about bonus rules earns books long time customers. Top notch :103631605

That is a bad bonus, I would not reup there if I lost my initial deposit

This has to be one of the worst bonuses i've ever seen...probably the worst. Who the heck is SOS?
