Bovada deposit bonus is a joke lol!

I deposited $232.88 via Bitcoin and got a bonus of $116.44

That was when I had a $0 balance. Right now my balance is $2,212.26 (been winning!) and my "Available to withdraw" is $0.00 and my "Playthrough Progress" is only at 26%

Bonuses are made for you to lose your money!!!!

Offshores are such a pain in the ass. I am glad that I'm in a state w/ numerous betting apps. Get your money right away and don't have to deal w/ Bitcoin fees.

Stop accepting bonuses it was meant for you to lose! Those rollovers suck. Bol dude

I still have my bonus from bookmaker . Never going to use it because I¡¯m always taking money out 

I totally agree I think offshore sportsbooks are on their way out, but I could be wrong. I know one thing there¡¯s a lot less of them now than in previous years.

@Thomhee

 Have you ever heard of a bonus expiring after you have taken it?

I made a deposit on bovada and 7 days later bovada wiped out my account to zero. Customer service stated that the bonus I took expired after 7 days. Bunch of bs. Took my initial deposit as well. 

Filed a complaint but haven't heard anything. I take it as a loss and a learning lesson don't take bonuses. Won't play there again.

This is kind of a new trend started by Caeasrs, MGM, Draftkings, etc in the last 2-3 years, offshore may have copied.

It's "use it or lose it" typically a period of 7-14 days.

Just saw a SNF promo for tonight on MGM...."bet insurance, up to $25, to be paid as a promo bet if your bet loses" - so of course I lost a live 1h under bet.

*Free $25 bet expires 9/22

Don't ever take a bonus unless you don't want to cash out for a long time.

@Thomhee

 i have been using them for a long time (they stopped offering me bonuses after a few big withdrawls from mlb) Anyway, of all the offshore books they by far have the best bonus policy

all standrd bonuses have a 5x rollover... Which isnt much compared to the 10x, 12x (betus) sometimes even 20x..

You have to wager 5x your deposit plus bonus  so if it was 500 deposit and 250 bonus.. you must wager 3750 (5 times 750) before you can withdrawl

And their bonus is always CASH and not freeplay like the others.

Not attacking you just saying... you gotta read the terms/conditions on those things bc thats why your on here complaining about it, if you had read it you would know how it worked prior to depositing

also,, if you go to "rewards" and the "bonus" it will literally tell you the % of the rollover you have achieved at the current moment.. you might a couple hundred away  you should be just fine man 

Now i see the 26% i did not see that before.. now just bet 75,100 a bet or whatever and eventually you will get there... my startegy is long term so the playthru doesnt bother me.. i mean if you actually "need" the funds that soon then your probably not in a good money mngt spot 

for me, the rollover is no big deal.. if you are playing a full season of football you will hit that organically after 4-5 weeks tops

@RexR

 Thanks for the heads up. Like I said I've never heard of a bonus expiring 7 days after you take it and bovada wiping out your account. I've never had that issue with them before. Like invest4profits stated, I probably didn't read the terms and conditions correctly. My fault. 

Bovada does give a cash bonus but when you take the bonus, bovada combines it with your cash deposit. Betdsi keeps your bonus separate from your cash. It seems wrong for bovada to completely take your cash deposit also for not meeting the rollover in 7 days.  Who can make a rollover in 7 days? 

Anyway, learning lesson for me. They've lost my business and I  will play somewhere else.
