Thanks Mud.

Catch #2 is previous withdrawals must be replenished. Bonus only if you are net loser, or re-up everything you've won.

I like Sky, but they keep good track of wether you're ahead or not. So does 5Dimes.

Other books give you a bonus if you come back a year later, not these two !

Smart business, IMO !

Here's another problem with Skybook's bonus rules ... if you're a net loser at SkyBook, but a winner at their other books, they will net out your profit/loss, and you won't get a bonus if you're net positive ... this is somewhat understandable ... ABCIslands/Jazz/Looselines do the same thing.

-----------

But here's what I have a major problem with, and I told them as much, but to no avail .... I made a couple of in-house transfers a number of months ago (SkyBook to IIS, I think), somewhere in the area of $10K total. When I called SkyBook inquiring about my eligibility for a reload bonus, they told me that they deemed my $10K in transfers to IIS as "withdrawals", which needed to be replenished before I was eligible for a reload bonus.

If you netted out my profit/loss at Sky/Rio/IIS combined, I was actually down about $6K net, but because of their stupid rule of deeming the $10,000 worth of in-house transfers as "withdrawals", they said that I was actually up about $4K, and denied me the bonus.

I tried to explain logic to the guy, by telling him that me transferring $10K to IIS was not really a withdrawal, but he just didn't get it.

Very bush league if you ask me.

Yikes.

Well maybe there's someone somewhere who can somehow take advantage of this bonus deal.

Or maybe not.

I'll give it a bump since the deal starts today.
