Good ole days type bonuses

[Romanowski]

Why am I seeing too good to be true type bonuses like as if it was 2002

serious, what does it mean? industry hurting?

all the sudden have more marketing/bonus money?

What yall think?

I have read recently that legislation to legalize online gambling is very possible and soon...

So what do you make of the %100 new deposit bonuses?

[rjb1816]

i think they are hurting somewhat...but also could be legalization...which i hope to see in my lifetime haha

i think books are starting to feel more comfortable with the outlook on the industry... maybe trying to entice the new rec bettor who had been laying low

If the government legalizes on line gaming and allows the books in the major hotels in Vegas to get involved, the off shore books are going to take a major hit. This may be coming, so the off shore books are trying to tie up as many players now as they can. Once on line gambling is leagalized in the U.S. and the major casinos get involed, there is going to be a major loss of revinue for the off shore books. They are going to hae to gie away the store to compete.

Making billions of dollars per year is how I would like to struggle slugger... But even if that were true, it makes sense to offer bigger bonuses to attract players

i see bigger bonuses being offered, but rollover requirements seem to be much greater than ever 8x, 10x, even 12x. And several books are putting 14 day and 30 day minimum hold requirements in if you take the bonus. Free plays also seem to be the norm instead of the good ole cash bonus. I may be wrong, but i refuse the free plays to avoid the hassle. Maybe my thinking is wrong, but a free play only has value if you lose it??? If you win a 100 dollar free play you have @$90. But if you wagered 100 real money, you'd
still be up @$90. I haven't come across many really nice cash bonuses lately.

Who's offering 100%?

There ia a combination of things that have spurred the new bonus rage and those include the fact that the economic down turn has meant that many recreational gamblers have fewer funds available. Additionally, with March Madness winding down, books are looking at the slowest time of the year approaching as many players do not bet on baseball and NBA betting is down considerably.

Thesee bonuses are meant to entice players to continue wagering beyond March Madness rather than waiting for football to return in the fall.
