Intro
Completing all the signup offers in Ohio has an approximate value of $6,000. After the sign-up offers, the recurring promotions can be worth upwards of $18,000 per year.
This guide is just one example of the order to go through signup offers with a starting budget over $6,000. If you have a smaller starting bankroll use the standard bankroll guide here. Read this guide first to understand what offers can and cannot be stacked. If stacking offers is confusing just remember you can always hedge any promotion with cash and do not need to combine signup offers.
