defintions: Bonus Play, match play, bonus cash

[Presto]

I know this has been covered before but for the life of me I can't seem to find it when I do a search.

A Bonus Play bonus is money you can win. It can only be used in a straight bet (no futures, parlays, teasers etc.). You place a wager and if it wins you get the winnings but not the risk amount. Example: Let's say you deposit $100 into book X and recieve 11% Bonus Play. Your balance would show $100 and $11 Bonus Play. When you make a wager you must specify on confirmation to use Bonus Play. You lay $11 Bonus Play @ -110 and it wins. Your balance will now show $110. Or should the wager lose, your balance would show $100 and zero Bonus Play.
I have learned from others the best type of wager for Bonus Play is money line dogs. You can also do some tricky parlay stuff and convert it into cash but that's not something I know much about.

I hope this isn't confusing.

Someone care to explain the other two bounuses?

I think you have understood the Bonus Play correctly.

The cash bonus is just the additional cash added to your account. For example, 10% cash bonus for $100 deposit will give you $110 to bet with.

I don't know about match play bonus. I thought it is the same as Bonus Play, but not so sure.

Could someone explain matchplay?

I could be mistaken, but here's my understanding:

If you deposit $1100 and get a 10% match-play bonus, you'll have $110 in match-play money. If you make a $110 bet to win $100, and designate it as a match-play bet, the book will put the $110 bonus on the bet with you. If you win you win $100, plus $100 from the match-play. If you lose, you don't get to re-use it.

Again, this could be wrong, but that's at least my understanding.

So I guess the only difference between Bonus Play and match play is with match play you have to be betting with your own money as well??

Match Play and Bonus Play are the same. When you win a wager with a Bonus Play you get the winnings put into your account as Cash Money. You can normally use the Bonus Play / Match Play in parlays too, there should not be a restriction on that one
