    Would this be considered bonus abuse?
    Deposit $1,000 to both Fanduel and Barstool. Both give 1,000 cash back if bet loses.

    Take 1 side of even -110 at Fanduel. 1,000 to win 909
    Other side at Barstool -110. 1,000 to win 909.

    One wins I have 1,909 in winning account, 1,000 cash in losing account (needs to roll over once).
    I now do same thing again 1,000 bet on either side. No matter who wins I will be left with 2,818 between both accounts and ready to withdraw with 1x roll on the free cash complete.

    Easy $818 profit?

    My g/f is asking to "borrow" few hundred for rent (i'd never get it back), and she hasn't signed up for any of these books, so I told her we could work something out if she signed up for a couple of these bonuses and I showed her what to do and she could have her 300 and I would take the rest, since I'm fronting the money and taking any risk, and will probably just put aside for next time she can't make rent anyway.

    Is there any risk? I feel like it's not technically against their rules. I'm just showing her what to do and giving her a loan basically. Anyone hear of onshore books claiming bonus abuse on something like this? I feel like they will look extra hard at anyone who is female, so not sure if I should take the risk. Worried they'd ask for source of paypal funds or something and see it coming from me, who has an account with them.

    Check their rules about members of the same household, and shared IPs and bonuses.

    But I think regulated books expect this to happen.


    Don't pretend to be her and do it yourself. Make her do it herself preferably from her own device. So if they do KYC her and ask her any questions to determine if she actually controls the account, she will be able to answer them.

        Agree with Opti. Female sportsbook account holders draw more scrutiny. Be prepared for a more extensive KYC check.

          Make sure there's a firewall between everything remotely linked to your g/f's accounts. I saw some idiot on Reddit got pinched for trying to do this with from the same bank account under his name.

            As long as you can provide verification docs if they ask your fine. My wife has every legal book and ADW in my state as do I plus she had DFS with Fandual and DK for years before....use her account for promos only basically...just dont mix and match deposit and withdrawal accounts that got me in a bit of trouble with a horse ADW years back.

              If you log on the same internet IP, you will get your account closed and funds maybe in danger, bookies are not stupid they don't like arbitrage

                  Our risk and payments team requests identity and payment verification to verify the payment methods used are in the players name. As part of our terms and conditions as well. As a regulated online casino it's vital that we have correct authorizations for players to avoid future issues.

                    Thanks for the info. Sounds like we’d be fine. My biggest risk probably is she runs off with my money.

                        If you have to ask if something is an abuse - it most likely is.

                          Not necessarily. Different people have different levels of risk tolerance. If I would do something like this without blinking, it doesn't mean someone (who is more prudent or careful) shouldn't ask around before acting. But rules are they same for everyone!
