What i was hoping for was for them to reset my balance to the amount of when i finished the bonis playthrough approx 4k. They didnt want to compromise and i had a few $15 bets on one game before i finished the playthrough.

It caught me off guard that the rules still applied even after the playthrough was finished. i needed to withdraw to have the rules be dropped .

I've been gambling online since 2016 and since then I've only used bonuses with my deposits a few times. I almost always play with a straight cash only balance no bonus. 

A lot of casinos will give you a huge match bonus lile deposit 100 play with a total of 500 the thing is the bonus amount isnt cashable ever so say you eventually finish the playthrough and have a balance of $500 the total amount you will get os only 100$

No max cashout match bonuses the way to go if you really want to try out a match bonus , keep in mind its near impossible to finish the playthrough on these bonuses
