In poker? Yeah, if you’re a well above average poker player, and you play within your bankroll, it’s not hard, just time-consuming. An average or below-average player, or one who doesn’t play smart with the bankroll, is swimming upstream.
Sports betting doesn’t seem as hard, although most sports bettors are losers, so they’ll lose money while earning the bonus.
Yes the Poker rollover was certainly more than 3X when I attempted to clear my bonus they flat out have the wrong information up, They are so stingy they make it so difficult to clear the bonuses, it’s not even that much money let 50% of your players clear the measly $500 Weekly competition I assume this company has a few million in the bank at least
It’s good marketing. And I acknowledge it’s very entertaining.
It’s also very smart on Bovada’s part. We get so interested we probably follow NFL games more than we would have otherwise, so we bet more. I know that’s true for me.
And the winners play/bet more to clear their bonuses, all the while paying the bonus right back to Bovada in vig/rake. It’s certainly not charity on Bovada’s part; this makes good business sense for them.
