Sportsbook Loyalty Programs

As noted in other articles around the site, most online sportsbooks offer great incentives such as loyalty programs or player rewards to help influence your decision on playing at their online sportsbook rather than somebody else's. This is also a way of saying thank you as well as they do indeed appreciate your business whether your a small recreational player or a whale. (large bettor)

Some of the more intelligent sportsbooks have implemented these loyalty programs which reward the player with points every time they make a wager which once a bunch are accumulated/accrued can be turned in for free bets, cash, free payouts, trips, prizes and more.

Each sportsbook has their own way of compiling points but the standard is usually to get one point for every dollar wagered and some will even award more than that if the wagers your placing are parlays.

A good tip to give you as well is don't try to cash these points out while your on a winning streak or are carrying a fat balance. The sportsbooks have it in fine print that these are to be given away at their discretion. One time we asked for one from a reputable sportsbook and the rep snared back at us with "Your beating us for a ton, you aren't eligible to receive this bet at this time" which was a complete surprise to us so we thought we'd warn you that you should probably not use these when your stomping them or carrying a heavy balance. For whatever reason, their much more likely to comply if your on a bad streak or don't have a big balance.

Let's take a look at some of the better sportsbook rewards programs from reputable online sportsbooks:

Bookmaker - Their BETpoints program is stellar. You accrue points every time you make a bet. An example would be, if you place a wager for $110 to win $100, you will receive 100 BETpoints. Conversely, if you wager $100 to win $200, you will receive 100 BETpoints. The amount credited to you is always the lesser amount. These points add up fast, especially for big bettors and can be redeemed for freeplays. A freeplay is defined as a bet in which you are given a credit to make a bet. If it wins, you get to keep the winning amount however you do not keep the stake. The minimum BETpoints one needs to accrue for a free wager is 4000. This gets you a $50 freeplay. On the high end, 90,000 BETpoints gets you a $1000 freeplay so as you can see, the sky is the limit!

Oddsmaker - Earn points based on wagering activity and redeem them for prizes. Offers a 20% sign up bonus to new players.

Sportsbook - Check out this book's MVP program in which they offer all kinds of great perks. We even heard that some of their players got to hobknob at the Playboy Mansion! Once you've signed up and given them a bit of action, send your CID number to their customer service department to see if you qualify.

Wagerweb - These guys offer a very sweet program in which you can redeem points for betting cash, ipod's, xbox 360's, costa rican cigars, sports pagers, Palm TX and gift cards. Great prizes from a great online bookie!

SBG Global - Rewards start at 5000 points in which you can redeem those points for a $25 credit to your betting account. High end prizes are awarded at 125,000 points in which you get a $1000 credit to your sports book account.

Sportbet Accrue as little as 1000 points and receive a $5 free play. On the high end accumulate 25,000 points and get a $250 free play.
