Blows. Dont ever use one of the freeplays.

I stopped getting bonuses from them. Their reason was that my available balance was more than double my average bet. So, if my average bet is $100, and I deposit $300, I do not qualify for a bonus. This is BS. They entice you with a lifetime bonus guarantee, but does not tell you of this restriction. I didn't have this restriction when I first opened an account there. I would deposit $100-$200 and bet $25 per.

BUT, I still use them because they have dime lines on baseball. Also, they're the first to post lines for the next day. Outweighs the negative about bonuses.

Not sure they are the first ones to post lines, bookmaker and 5-dimes come out night before. I believe 5-Dimes has dime lines as well.

What makes their freeplay so much worse than anywhere else?

You want a handicapping tip?  Spend as much time getting a good number as you do researching games. Depositing/withdrawing/depositing/withdrawing is a bitch, but I guarantee you will lose less, or win more.  I can't guarantee that for any other piece of advice

Lloyd,

Recently opened an account there, used the freeplays and had some success early on. When I went make a withdrawal had a gigantic rollover amount I needed to meet before my payouts could be processed. So for using maybe 50-100 dollars in freeplays the rollover amount I needed to meet was 4 times what I had in my account. So to get a payout of 1,000 I had to meet the risk requirement of laying out 4K worth of wagers. Is this a normal requirement at other sites? Havent used bonuses in years.

Loved the site until I started using the bonuses and the customer service I have received in trying to figure out the rollover rules and how to get a payout was pretty weak. I have cooled down a bit since but it was tough to get in touch with them and like talking to a wall.

Agreed that I like their lines and timeliness however.

Yes, this is standard.  Books wouldn't possibly be able to give you a bonus and then let you withdraw the next day
