free $50 bonus upfront from matchbook

**Illusion** · 11-06-05, 02:30 AM

Decent offer, thanks for posting this dan.

**pags11** · 11-06-05, 04:37 AM

so you get a $50 cash bonus if you deposit $100...rollover requirments?...

**bigboydan** · 11-06-05, 04:43 AM

i didn't see anything about rollover requirements at all. but, i believe they will give you a free $50 to test drive (aka bonus) the site, if you deposit a $100.

**pags11** · 11-06-05, 04:46 AM

I'm on the site right now checking it out...

**pags11** · 11-06-05, 04:49 AM

can't get anyone on their live chat or their 800 number right now...I know it's late, but they should have someone answering calls...

**why** · 11-06-05, 12:49 PM

I wanted to try this place, this may be the offer I need.

**bigboydan** · 11-06-05, 01:01 PM

just spoke with Esme from matchbook and, heres what they told me about this offer:

BBD : currently offering a free $50 bonus upfront for users to experiment with the site. can you please give me details, if i win what are the rules
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** You are now speaking with Esme, General Inquiries. **
Esme : Hi
BBD : currently offering a free $50 bonus upfront for users to experiment with the site. do you have to deposit and wager 100.00 in order to cashout . also, what are the rollover requirements.
Your party has left this session.
Esme : The conditions attached to the $50 Free Bet promotion are that you have to deposit and wager $100 of your own money before you will be able to withdraw the free $50 or any winnings associated with it. Other than that, it's all yours to have fun with.

Matchbook is where all the money is for football/hoops - very little player volumes on Mansion at the moment. Bit of an about turn since the baseball season.

**why** · 11-06-05, 01:17 PM

I think its one $50 dollar free bet not a $50 cash bonus.

**slacker00** · 11-06-05, 01:29 PM

I opened a matchbook account a couple weeks ago, and have been making $1 unit bets, learning how to bet sports. Most of the picks I've been posting on here are being bet over at matchbook.

I opened the account, but had to email support for the $50 to show up in my account. I realize I'll have to deposit some of my own money if I want to withdraw it, but I almost expect to lose that 50 bucks, anyway, being such a rookie, so I'll play with it until the NFL season comes to an end. So far, I'm basically breaking even. Fun learning tool, though. Any other absolute noobs like me should definitely sign up with Matchbook and play with the free 50 bucks.

**why** · 11-06-05, 01:35 PM

Slacker, is'nt the $50 just for one bet?

No. They put the 50 bucks in my account, and I've been betting a buck here, a buck there. I've got 20 bucks in exposure at the moment, split between maybe 10 different bets. Perfect way for an absolute noob to play around and learn how to bet sports.

I've got money on spreads, moneylines, futures, I'm just having a blast. I never bet sports before I found this forum about a month ago, so I'm just having fun with it, letting it add to my enjoyment of watching the games. I'd advise anyone to take the free $50 from Matchbook. I'm having a blast with it.

**tacomax** · 11-06-05, 01:44 PM

No, they stick the bonus in your account, you can bet whatever denominations you want.

I signed up when the bonus was $25 but can't advise about any rollover requirements - once you see the prices there, it's not a place that you want to cash out of quickly.

**why** · 11-06-05, 02:07 PM

did they charge you guys the neteller fees?

I didn't deposit anything, yet. I'm just messing around with the 50 bucks that I may well lose eventually, anyway. I'm just trying to have fun with it. Hey, I get to bet on the games, have fun with it, and if I lose it, no big deal. lol.

If I get on a good run, maybe run the free 50 up to 100 bucks or something, I might try to clear the bonus. We'll see how quick I can get up to speed on this sports betting stuff. I am on such a steep learning curve right now, learning so much every day.

They charge you 2% commission on each winning bet.

For Neteller deposits, they charge you 2.9% but give you this back in the form of commission credits. So, effectively Neteller deposits are free. Even though they charge you 2.9%. If you see what I mean.

Volume is very poor on Mansion since the end of the Baseball season

I was expecting big things from this exchange during NFL but it just does not seem to be happening.

**why** · 11-06-05, 02:42 PM

Thanks Tacomax, good info.

**Doug** · 11-07-05, 12:27 AM

Nice deal, I got mine ! Farting around with $10 bets to get used to their system. I did see a scalp of Mansion +4000, and Matchbook ( not to win) of -1700 ( only $51 available) on a future.

**pags11** · 11-07-05, 04:27 AM

good info. here guys...I have been eyeing these guys since summertime...

**pags11** · 11-07-05, 05:42 PM

lmk how everything goes for you bud. i'm curious how "you" like this place.

**Senator7** · 11-08-05, 02:32 PM

I never thought of trying out the exchanges, but a free $50 has got me thinking. Fifty bucks is fifty bucks! What the hell...

**Indy Brian** · 11-08-05, 02:44 PM

I opened an account las week after hearing about this offer. The $50 showed up in my account before I had deposited any money. Yesterday I deposited $100 into the account and I bet the $150 on the Colts money line last night. I withdrew $120 today and it was processed within one hour into neteller. I left the rest of the money in the account to play with. Seems like a great deal.

thanks for sharing your experiences with this book bro

**pags11** · 11-08-05, 05:01 PM

they still had E. Carolina +11 last night so I took it...had to lay -115 which I hate to do, but everyone else had +9.5...if you play dogs, this could be a good site for good juice...

**Senator7** · 11-08-05, 05:05 PM

I signed up about 3 hours ago, haven't gotten the $50 yet. It said 24 hours so we'll see how long it takes.

**Senator7** · 11-08-05, 06:47 PM

I got my $50! I am really impressed with their interface and software. Very easy to use and very easy to understand. Two thumbs up for Matchbook!

**pags11** · 11-09-05, 04:52 AM

I'm liking it as well senator...

**Dead Money** · 11-13-05, 09:26 PM

My 50 bucks has turned into almost 400....

So now what? I just have to deposit 100 bucks and rollover once??

I do not want to get screwed by trying to withdraw before I meet the requirements.
Couldn't find anything on the site about it.

I'd rather ask you guys than call them.

Thanks

DM

**pags11** · 11-14-05, 01:50 AM

I have researched this thoroughy...you have to deposit $100 of your own money, play $100 from that point and then you can withdraw all the money from your account...

**Dead Money** · 11-14-05, 10:03 AM

Thanks guys, just wanted to make sure.

Though with the luck I have been having there maybe I should hang with those guys

**pags11** · 11-14-05, 05:08 PM

I will keep these guys as one of my four books...I think you can find some good juice lines for college bowl season and college hoops season as well...these guys are on their way up...only problem I see is getting enough volume with the site...
