Default How does the BetPhoenix $50 Free Cash work?

Ok, so I just opened an account at BetPhoenix today.

-Can I just get this Free Cash if I have no money in my account?

-Will I be able to withdraw after the 8x rollover through **********? (I know some books require you to withdraw a certain amount though the same means in which you deposited, which I find stupid)

-Would it matter I had no 'real' money in the account when I withdraw?

-Also, how long does it take to get into your account? I would like it by Tuesday night for the night games. Realistic or no? I still haven't ordered it yet, waiting for some responses here.

thanks in advance

Be careful when choosing where to get your freeplay, that is all I'm saying.

I don't think BP is going to break their affiliation with SBR as long as they aren't on the verge of going bust (they're B+). I am not implying they will but I've heard bad stuff lately..

I will say this, I am not a fan of BP for a lot of reasons and have since closed my account there.

Yeah but I think Pinnacle is the book that's not willing to cut any affiliation deals of that kind at the moment. That's my guess. I guess they see at as "contrary-thinking" branding kinda thing where you give yourself a "royal" image by having only ONE big selling point.

thanks, but i read everything for the $50 free cash. I'm just asking if there will be any 'surprises' as i've been screwed by THREE companies in one day last week and am weary of every fukking body now.

i don't want to hear from BetPhoenix that i can't withdraw because i never made a deposit myself. i dont want to hear they won't let me withdraw via **********. i dont want it to take 4 or 5 days to be credited, etc...

They do have a rep there named Richard who seems to help out all the posters if they are having any type of problem. I would suggest that if a problem does arise, just shoot him and email and from the past threads I have read, he will handle it for ya.

I think I asked a simillar question about another book and got a negative answer (no, you don't need to deposit) - shouldn't be any different at BP.

I just looked at all the $50 free plays. Every one is a 4x rollover except BetP and it is 8x & one other book is 7x. Why wouldn'y you get the 4x? Does BetP make it easier to roll over play wise just more times though? I'm thinking about just gettin' loose lines, is it ok?

Plus, it's 8X whatever you win PLUS $50, so go lightly on the freeplay. If you bet the freeplay on a +EV bet, you have at least an $800 rollover.

yeah, but i couldn't get over the 20c lines there, BP and pinny have less juice. thats honestly the only reason. i didnt even look at the other items to know they only had 4x rollover.
