The bonus section on your account - does this show pending bonus or bonus cleared?

cleared

Thanks. I was worried when I saw it at zero.

Uh, when I did it today it was at zero when the money was in the sportsbooking part and jumped to $200 when I moved my $200 to casino. After I had cleared the bonus, the bonus number went to zero.

Edit: I guess you are talking about poker tho.

Yeah, sorry, I meant the poker side of things. What's the casino bonus like? Is it risk free?

I don't believe those are risk free, but they're such easy moneymakers that you might as well do them. IMO, casino whoring can be much more profitable than poker, at least if you're a low limit player like I am.

at 5 tables and 5x, this bet365 bonus is possibly the easiest bonus i've ever played.

I busted out. Made $70 playing poker clearing the bonus, the $100 bonus, then gave it all back and more to the casino.

My luck is running so bad I can't tell you...

I made $200 on top of the bonus. I'm pretty sure its risk free.

Here's the T&C from their site :

3.BONUS AWARDING

a) Qualifying customers will have their account credited with a matched bonus up to a maximum GBP100. 100% match up on your first single deposit/transfer of casino chips.

b) The bonus will only be awarded once you have purchased chips.

c) The bonus may only be redeemed once cumulative wagers totalling not less than 10 times the sum total of your deposit and your bonus have been placed. Bonus funds may not be cashed until this handle has been met.

d) Where a customer makes a withdrawal or transfer out of their casino account prior to the rollover requirement being met, they will lose any bonus or winnings attributable to their bonus .

e) Any Wagers will use your own deposited money before the bonus balance.

f) Only wagers made on real money games will contribute to the wagering requirement.

g) Wagers made on any variation of Roulette, Baccarat, Craps, Sic Bo and Pai Gow Poker games will not contribute to the wagering requirements.

h) Any use of bonus funds to wager on any variation of Roulette, Baccarat, Craps, Sic Bo and Pai Gow Poker games is not permitted and will result in the loss of any bonus and winnings attributable to their bonus.


It sounds like from e that this is not a risk free bonus. However being only a 10X WR it sounds like it should be pretty easy to clear. One question: When you deposit do you have to be carefull about the currency. In other words can you deposit the equivalent of 100 brit pounds in U.S.D. and still get the full 100 lb bonus?
