Just tried to make a withdraw from them.They said I have to wager 20x the deposit amount before a withdrawal. 5k deposit so all you have to do is wager 100k woth. What a scam.

colt29,
Is there a bonus involved?

Did you see their bonus rules and restrictions on this page:

Looks like you are looking at 5x for the sportsbook.
15% re-up bonus. When playing in the sportsbook clients will be required to wager 5 times, when playing in the casino and/or sportsbook clients will be required to wager 20 times their initial deposit + bonus + fees BEFORE requesting a payout.

The bonus rule in question here actually seems a bit vague to me (a lot of things seem vague to me though) ...
When playing in the sportsbook clients will be required to wager 5 times, when playing in the casino and/or sportsbook clients will be required to wager 20 times their initial deposit + bonus + fees BEFORE requesting a payout.
Did the OP place wagers in the casino?
Nonetheless, this is a good reminder for players to read the fine print before accepting any bonuses. There are always going to be strings attached to "free money".

What the T&Cs appear to be saying is that a player accepting the 15% reup bonus and playing exclusively in the sportsbook has a 5× rollover requirement. But if the same player were to wager even a $1 in the casino his rollover would increase to 20×.
But that couldn't be right, could it?

Rollovers in the casino can be much quicker.

I would bet they mean to say that if the player rolls the amount 5x in the book, regardless of any additional bets, he is eligible for a payout and that if it is a combination of some SB bets (less than 5x the deposit+bonus) and some casino, it's the 20x.
colt,
I am also going to bet IslandCasino will let you pursue the 5x on sports either way. We will get clarification on the rule in the AM.
