One difficulty I’ve had that’s not covered here is on some sites, they greatly restrict the amount you can bet on most, if not all available bets. On one site I wasn’t able to bet near the promo max, and on another something like 4⁄300 available bets allowed me to bet the promo max.
Sites are more likely to restrict the amount you can bet if you’re betting on an outcome the site has little confidence in (e.g., how likely is a certain rookie to collect over 2.5 rebounds). Sites do this to protect themselves from smart bettors who may know more than the site’s model. My advice is to try to bet on “main lines”, popular offerings that sites have high confidence in their odds of (e.g., how likely are the Rams to win this Sunday’s SuperBowl).
If a site restricts you from betting the promo max on any event, try calling customer support to figure out why you’re being limited as a first-time bettor. Hopefully, they can un-limit you or allow you to make multiple bonus-eligible smaller bets to get the most out of the promo. Good luck!
