Default What does "rolled over" mean?

When a book gives you a $200 bonus and says you have to roll it over 30 times - does that mean you have to bet $6000 ($200 x 30) before you get the bonus?

Normally it means the deposit plus the bonus must be put at risk 30 times.

If that's a BetUS offer and you still have money after 30 times, expect it to be raised or for them to only accept the lesser amount of risk/win towards the rollover, or some other shenanigan.

30x rollover requirement. Most likely you'll lose all your money before you see any of that bonus. I've always felt bonuses tied to rollover requirements were a trap.

Most 30x roll over seem to be tied to casino bonus's. I have never seen anything higher than 10x roll over for a sports book.

I bet you are right. A 30 timer in the sportsbook would either upset a player who didn't understand what he was in for or bring in a guy who is going to work them over against other books. If he is getting a "bail out bonus" that would be different.

Hoff,

As JC alluded to, roll-overs have different definitions depending on the book. Some books like WSEX use the Risk amount and keep it simple. Unfortunately it has become more popular to use the lesser of the win/risk amounts. Other books really mangle the traditional definition of roll-over and stipulate that certain type of bets or even certain leagues don't count at all. In the casino, certain table bets might not count like Red/Blk in roulette. To be sure players need to read the rules pages and we recommend making a copy of the Ts&Cs.

Bill is 100% correct there. I"ve seen bonus's tied to the lesser of the win/risk, some don't count towards the roll over if you bet at evens or less. I"ve also seen moneylines not count towards roll overs as well. Always read the T&C's even tho the sportsbooks interpretation will always be different than yours IMO. When calculating your RO be very strigent in how you do it and keep records (screen captures, print outs) of every bet so you know where you stand if challenged by the book. If this is a sports book Bonus and RO is 30 give it up now dude because you'll be shocked at how much you have to bet.
