Have a great week off, Steve! Fully deserved. Martin, did you know what you're getting yourself into?

My 2 cents to the ClubHouse rewards and to answer the question of "Why would anyone take the freebet and not the cashback?": I ignore slots, never played them. But unlike Trofo, I do take the freebet, and use them on big parlays. As people may know me by now, I simply don't do low payout bets, unless it's a big match I know something about. A 5/1+ acca or special is what I use those freebets for -- so the ~5% additional amount on it is like a free price boost.
So I agree. For most players, you should take the cashback, it's money in the bank and you could, presumably, earn back a hefty amount en route to Platinum.
But if you're going to end up putting it on Sports anyway -- for example, if you're one of a number of crazy Brazilian Sportsbet.io users who love doing 10-leg accas for 10000/1 multiplier, that 5% extra is a lot of fancy spare change

). Long parlays also minimise your void risk, you'd have to be severely unlucky to have all legs voided.
Also, I totally get why people would take the slots. It's bonus money and I think those are slots with Jackpots. I guess it'd be the equivalent of finishing a huge round of Blackjack or Poker at the casinos, and then on your way out throwing in some spare change into a slot machine to see if you can snag the Jackpot with a random spin.
Super point on using Clubhouse better to swing players to Casino though. The way the incentives are right now, the slot rewards just don't attract me (I'm not sure any amount would, though, unless it were significantly higher than the freebet).
got my prize (a Southampton away jersey and a 2 mBTC free bet) today! Looks like Steve threw in an additional home jersey and a Watford scarf too, which was a really nice surprise
Really need to get my A-game on and snag that jersey in one of the editions with them! Still got my Watford ones but they've managed to age quicker than I have
