I still don't know how I can release my $ on Bovada. They won't let me release it all because of some "bonus $" they gave me when I first started and they said I have to hit a certain amount of plays before I can release it all. Sounds very confusing.
Yeah. So what that is a "rollover" amount that you have to clear. typical rollover amount is 5x - 10x the amount of the total or of the bonus.
So for example, let's say you deposited $500 of your own money and they matched 50% of your deposit for another $250. Now you have a total of $750.
Digging further into the example, let's say your rollover requirement is 5X the total amount of your deposit ($3750). You now place the entire $750 on a side that has -110 odds to win ~$681. You win of course.
So now you go from having to "clear" $3750 to only clearing $3069. They continue to take the remaining rollover amount subtracted by the lesser of your risk or win on each bet you place going forward.
Hopefully that makes a little more sense.
