Stupid situation with bodog SB 25% bonus Stupid situation with bodog SB 25% bonus

Just a heads up to anyone taking advantage of it. The email states 25% bonus with standard roll over requirements. No where in the email does it say there is a max bonus amount. I buy in for 4000 expecting a 1k bonus and get 100 instead. I email them and they say although it was not stated the max bonus they usually give is 100 dollars, ummmmm ok whatever. I try to cash out some of my money and am told the rollover requirement is applied to my total deposit. I email back asking if they can see how absurd it is to punish someone for buying in for more then required to get the bonus (roll over requirements for a 400 dollar deposit is 1200 to get the free 100, roll over requirement for my 4k deposit is 12000 for the same 100 dollar bonus). They responded with essentially sorry but that is how our bonuses work.Anyways beware of this promotion as the stipulations they are applying to it are not stated in the promotional email. I have seen some wacky business decisions but penalizing your players for larger deposits might take the cake.

You are misunderstanding. The rollover is to cashout your funds, not to receive the bonus. Saying that the rollover is for the same $100 bonus is inaccurate. The bonus had nothing to do with that.

In other words, if you deposit without getting any bonus you will still be required to put in that amount of play before you can cashout.

Sorry I should have mentioned I already cleared the rollover that SHOULD be necessary, I was told afterwards it is 10X higher rollover based on my buy in amount. Secondly there is not a 3x rollover to cash out if you decide not to play at all on a regular deposit no clue why you would think that.

Also assuming you were right about roll over for any buy in (which you aren't) you wouldn't have an issue with a bonus offer that doesn't state a max buy in causing someone to buy in for a larger amount, then having a crazy high roll over to get back the funds you wouldn't have originally deposited? This isn't happening to me, but under your assumption it would have.

Almost all sites have a rollover requirement on any deposit in order to be allowed to cashout. That is why I assume that Bodog does too. Also, this:

It's not a clearing requirement to receive your bonus. It's when you tried to cashout. It's all pretty obvious what is happening here. It's common. So knock off the snarky tone and thank me for helping you figure it out.

You can't just deposit and then cash it out without playing it...pretty much anywhere.


I do think they should reference the max-bonus in the terms but I didn't address that aspect at all. But you could have simply asked before depositing also. Yes,they could absolutely waive the play-through requirement based on the misunderstanding. But sites are pretty paranoid of the whole bit about not wanting to look like money-laundering services so kind of go overboard on some of that stuff sometimes.

I haven't assumed anything. I'm telling you exactly what is quite obviously happening and for whatever reason you aren't believing me. the bonus has nothing to do with you not being able to cashout. The playthrough requirement, of only 3x, is absolutely attached to any deposit there. If that isn't the case on Bodog then that makes them pretty much the only site who does NOT have such a requirement. But since they just told you that they did we don't really need to entertain such a hypothetical.

Okay lets dissect this Bob, you seem to think you know more information about my Bodog account then myself. As stated many times, the roll over is for the BONUS and nothing else. I am able to cash out all money except the 100 dollars, is that clear enough for you? Or do you believe to know something that myself AND Bodog support don't in terms of roll over for regular deposits?

"Almost all sites have a rollover requirement on any deposit in order to be allowed to cashout. That is why I assume that Bodog does too. "

You say yourself you assume this, you are wrong in your assumption and also use your assumption to say I am confused, do you see how redic that is?

The snarky tone is based on you believing you know it all when what you are saying is false. I am not confused at all, everything I stated is 100% accurate. Bodog has also acknowledged this.

You can't just deposit and then cash it out without playing it...pretty much anywhere.

Pokerstars, PartyPoker, Ongame, iPoker all allow you to do so if you choose, as well as Bodog. Sometimes you may have to send in ID etc but unless the site is sketchy you are allowed to cash out YOUR money if you change your mind about playing.

But since they just told you that they did we don't really need to entertain such a hypothetical

Again, you are simply wrong. There is no issue with me cashing out the full amount I deposited, minus the 100 dollar bonus. I have been told this by support already, can you just admit you made assumptions that are wrong?

Since you are evidently determined to act like a total douchebag I won't attempt to discuss this with you anymore except to point out that your original explanation of this was tough to follow.

ITT, Bobo tries to help another person with their problems and they attack him. Would you be Dangeraw's family member? It is like deja vu.

I agree the first post was not well worded. Do you want to dispute anything I said in my last post or would it be too much to admit you were wrong?

loser, Please refer to my above post about you being a total douchebag.

He told me instantly that I had no clue what I was talking about basically. This isn't helping anything, on top of that he was 100% wrong. If he suggested what he thought might have been the issue, np. That is not what happened here, as you can see.
