BEWARE

[vinnie]

of useless bonus just requested a payout from BETCOM they informed me the 20% bonus I got could not be withdrawn even though I rolled it over 3x so unless you bet every dollar in your account these bonuses are useless

THEY SAY IT'S MORE BETTING POWER :mj07:

If I needed someone's money to gamble with I would start a service :scared

 

[IE]

i don't think they are trying to hide the fact, it states it right in their bonus / signup page :

Increase your betting power by an
incredible 20% when you open a new
account with BETCOM.

more and more sportsbooks will probably follow this format in the future, Carib has gone to the format recently...

Just wanted anyone else out there as stupid as me (if there is anybody) to know they may not get what they think they are getting.

Why would I to have to roll over something I can never get anyway :shrug:

Yes, Carib does this too, and it IS BS. I didn't find out they had changed their policy until I re-upped with them. And I got the "it gives you more betting power" line too. Sure it does...if I've wiped out my account. Otherwise it's phantom money. And since it doesn't really pay to wipe out my account and I don't plan on doing so, it's useless.

I wonder if I withdrew all but $1 in my account if I would still have my "bonus". Then and only then I might actually get some use out of it.

 

[THE HITMAN]

It sounds like we need a list of all of these shops, the sooner the better. If for no other reason but to say that you are warned& informed. It seems like you are just buying "time" or "extra betting days".
Personally,I haven't run into the situation yet. But anyone else that has, or knows of another book that has this policy......is invited to please list it for us below.
