What kind of rule is this? You get a free $100 to try them out, then you can only build the account to $2500. You can only claim $1000 of it in one shot, the rest of the balance is forfeited? Why would anyone agree to this? If I built my account from $100 to $2500, I want all $2500 if I met my rollover terms.

Oddsmaker sucks!

Make sure you read the complete Terms of Service before taking this free offer. You will find that all sorts of wagers are violations. Like teasers for example.

I got the same offer a year ago for a free $200. Signed up and only read the brief description on roll over requirement and payout. In my first group of bets was a $20 teaser. The next day, I read the full TOS and saw that teasers were not allowed, nor were a bunch of other bets and casino wagers.

I e-mailed support asking if I could continue with the promotion by forfeiting the $20 for the teaser. I wanted a yes or no in writing before continuing. My inquiries(6 of them) , were completely ignored.

I imagine they just want to suck people in hoping the chase will lead to a real money deposit, while making the "rules" murky enough to pretty much find any way not to pay the occasional luckbox.

Go ahead. Take a shot at them with their own money. Just read the fine print, and never send them a dime of yours.

Good Luck.

Thanks fellas, I threw the promo in the trash. Not bothering, I'll stick to Pinnacle and The Greek

I have won a promo like this last year during college basketball. They did pay me 600 but I wouldn't put my own money in that book.
