I made a $50 deposit a while ago. Not really paying attention, I signed up for some type of sportsbook bonus. I don't recall this, but, BOL says it is so. need to rollover $750 in their sports book, poker does NOT count towards the rollover.


The past weeks of the NFL season I have been betting on the games.


I have bet $500 towards the rollover so far and I am still even
I am trying to reach my rollover to be able to withdraw from BOL.I have about $250 remaining to bet. I would like to use it on the Superbowl. I don' want to bet $250 on one game and lose it all. What I was thinking was, bet half on each team that way I can't lose, except for the $$ the site takes which would be about $8.
I just want to be able to withdraw my money.


Anyone have any thoughts about this idea?​

Depending on the odds and who wins you could still "lose" to an extent. The Patriots are favorites and the payout will be much less than if the Eagles win. If you play with the numbers I'm sure you could figure out exactly how much to bet to make the same amount regardless of the outcome but it would be less than your initial 250....

Just check the odds before you go placing bets on each team if you bet half on each and the Pats win you are likely going to end up losing money...

It sounds like a good idea to me, especially since you have more than $250 in your account $8 is a reasonable fee. But the question is did you receive any bonus, because if you didn't they should not require you to rollover the $750. Signing up for a bonus should not bind you to anything unless you collect the bonus.

You can maybe check over under categories like points they might be even closer to even than a straight up win.

There is the pro bowl this weekend if you don't want to wait till superbowl.


But the question is have you done betting on both teams on one game before? I don't know about Betonline but the site I bet on does not allow multiple bets on same game. If this is the case you will have can 2 site it bet one team on Betonline and another team on a different site.



As someone mentioned above you mentioned check the odds and work out optimal betting.


One note I have cleared roll over on this site via casino although they had told me the same thing as they told you. I did not take a sportsbook bonus though.so maybe it is specific to your bonus.

I did not use any bonus. Evidently, when I made he deposit, I did sign up for some sort of a bonus. I do not remember signing up for the bonus, but, it was a while ago. Anyway, I have almost cleared the rollover and haven't lost any money (yet)

Sounds a bit dodgy.. you might be missing something. If you somehow signed up for a bonus that you say you didn't receive, you should be able to withdraw at any time.

Did you use any promo codes?

I may be posting this on the wrong thread, but not sure how/if I should make a new thread. I'm wondering about how to clear the poker bonus on BOL. I made a small deposit and began playing in poker tournaments. I didn't notice my VIP points growing at all until I played in cash games. Do we get VIP's at all for playing in tourneys? Does that count toward the bonus? Most of the BOL tourneys offered are micro-limits so perhaps I'm not playing high enough limits. However, if they don't offer many bigger buy in tourneys during the time of day I get to play, how can we ever clear it? It does seem to be the best room for US players so it's not a deal breaker, but it would be nice to get something for defecting from ignition and making a first deposit. Anyone know?

Here is what I would do if I had your problem: I would contact BOL through chat or email, and post the conversation on CC and other poker forums for everyone to see. I would mention to them that I never received any bonus, so after clearing the $750 I expect to receive it. If they say the bonus expired, then why do I need to clear the $750, and if the bonus had no expiration date then how much is it worth? You could be entitled upwards of $50 since your initial deposit was $50. You see, when you encounter this type of behavior and not fight back in any way, you reward them to continue doing it to all of us. Cheers!

what I have found is, in my case, the "play through" had to be done in their sportsbook. In 4 months of playing poker, I got zero $ towards the play through.

Hello,


I am attempting to make a withdrawal and get a message stating I have not met the rollover requirement.


I have made a deposit and have played in numerous poker tournaments, both freeroll and regular money games.


I have also played in cash games. I am confident I have played through the amount I deposited.


How would I be able to access the money in my account and make a withdrawal?


Thank you,

Hi George,
This is Bruce from Player Services, hoping this e-mail finds you well.
This is to inform you that you you completed your $50.00 deposit on 1/26/2017, you claimed our welcome bonus with promo code NEW2500. This sports book freeplay bonus is attached to 30 days hold and 10 times rollover before being a able to request a payout of your winnings.
The rollover is the amount of money you are required to wager on Sportsbook action in exchange of the bonus you claimed with your deposit. It is calculated deposit + freeplay x 10 = $50.00 + $25.00 * 10 = $750.00. This means you are required to wager $750.00 on sports bets, taking into consideration that when placing a bet, the lowest value between the risking and winning amount counts towards the rollover, i.e if you place a bet risking $55 to win $42.50, provided $42.50 is the lowest amount, your rollover will be down $42.50 = $750.00 - $45.50 = $707.50. Casino, Poker or Racebook action do not count towards the rollover.


I do not remember signing up for any bonus, but, I am old and that was a while ago.​

If you are unsure whether you took a bonus check your messages inside your BOL account. The bonus details should be on deposit comfirmation mail.
