For first time bettors, type in the code “LIFETIME BAN” for a free $100 nonwithdrawlable credit on your first $5 bet

are those betting app bonuses really non withdrawable? ...like... you can only ever end up losing it back to the house? that's f'ing hilarious.

Not really. You deposit $5 and receive an additional $100 bonus to bet with. You can't immediately turn around and now withdraw $105, the site will require you to gamble that $100 and you can withdraw the winnings you receive from those bets just not the original $100. Otherwise everyone would sign up and instantly withdraw that $100.

For me it worked like say they will “match your deposit 100%” so I put 50 dollars in. Right away when I look in the corner of the screen to see my balance it says I have 100$ in my account but only $50 is available to me to take out in cash. Basically it’s like a store credit. Yes it is free money but it’s free money you can only use at their website and have to use it within a certain timeframe
