Don't Bother With These Ridiculous Bonus Advertisements

These are the terms and conditions for a £50 match bonus at a bookmakers I won't bother name. Look at the hoops you have to jump through. 16× wagering requirement for your deposit amount, then the "Free 50" finally becomes yours.

I'm not going to bother you with the mathematics of your expected return amount to optimal play, suffice to say by the time you've met the playthrough requirements, you should pretty much have lost the "Free 50" by then.

This is their advertising push. They use these bonus offerings to draw in new players. The aim of the game for them is to claw in as many players, without it costing them anything. Skinflints.
