Anyone know anything about the Bodog Casino? I received an e-mail saying i get 5$ in casino chips to play with for free. So I download and take a look and play a little Caribbean hold-em. It must have been pure luck because i really had no idea what i was doing it is just you and a computer dealer you are against. Anyhow I kept betting 1$ until i got up to 10$ and then I went with a couple 5$ bets and before too long i was up to 25$. I went over to the cashier where it told me i had 25$ in casino chips and 25$ in bonus chips and that i also needed to play through 24$ more in order to release my bonus which still has me a little confused but ok. I see there that you can cash out and add your casino $$ to your e-cash bodog poker account but it wouldn't let me at 25$. So I played a little more up to 35$ and sure enough it let me cash out into my bodog poker however i left 20$ in the casino so that i can test out some more games and have that to build on as well. Anyone else have any experience with the casino and using that to build your poker bankroll????

I wanted to kick myself - I got the free $5, and just farted around with it for a while, was up to $30 or so before I hit a losing streak that took me down to nothing. What I didn't realize was that as soon as I hit my $100 total wagered, I could transfer the money to eCash - I thought it was a complete withdrawl - I could have had an extra $30 in my bodog poker account - DOH!
I pissed it away figuring I wasn't going to be depositing at the casino, so no big deal, I just didn't realize that it could be transferred over to Poker.

That’s a pretty nice result from a $5 freebie, especially going from $5 to $35. I’ve always found casino bonuses a bit tricky because the bonus balance and real balance can have different rules. I’d definitely check the wagering terms before counting that money as part of my poker bankroll.
