Tarheel,
Bonuses are like car shopping. Negotiation is key. They will give you that if you are a new client between 1 to 5 K. Just need to be reeeaaal clear on rules, that is where they try reduce risk. Try it out.
Also, just a thought "Panama Gaming Commission??" a little scary no? Probably real heavy weights looking out for our best interest. I am a little new to this stuff, but is making me think twice..
