    has anyone heard of this site?? I got a letter in the mail stating a 200% match bonus. For ex. Deposit 500 and they will give you 1000 for free for a total account balance of 1500. The maximum deposit is 1000, and they will give you 2000 for free. Can this be for real??

    I got an offer in the mail from them for $50 free. I figured there was a catch but after a couple months I signed up and they gave me the money. I've made a bunch of sports bets and have about a hundred in there now. Seems legit.

    <span><span>They call bonus dollars free money - FREE money can only be used in conjunction with your REAL money account. There is a specified ratio for its use. The standard ratio is 29:1. This means that for every $30 you wager, $29 will be taken off your REAL money account and a dollar ($1) will be taken off the FREE money account.</span></span>

    If it seems too good to be true, it probably is

    That is absolutely correct. I actually just did this without doing any further research (which was bad on my part), and the ratio is correct. IF you bet $30, then you're using $29 of REAL money (which you deposit) and $1 FREE MONEY (i.e. the 200% match from the offer). This is BS by the way because in order to take full advantage of the $2k match, you need to bet a total of $60k ($58k of which is your REAL money). Needless to say that now have $0 REAL money and $1800 in FREE money which is completely useless unless I deposit more.

    I am a blackjack player and was just looking for the convenience to play from home. If you're in it for table games (aside from poker), you're better off just going to the casino. If you're in it for poker then this may be a good site. However, do not join the site just because of the 200% match because other sites provide better "bonus money." Also, if you do searches online, you'll see that there are a lot of stipulations in regards to sports betting. So just be weary.

    Btw...the betting ration for Real Money and Free Money is VERY HARD TO FIND. I had to contact Live Chat 3 times and call them twice before someone actually told me the details on how the Free money works. Seemed kind of shady and I can now see that it is.

    Hope this helps!
