888 - gold tokens for cash?

I just checked in my client.
I can get a $1 immediate bonus for 130 tokens -- $0.0077/token
This will mean that to use it, you'll need to initiate a withdrawal of your cash balance.
Later, you can cancel the withdrawal request.
Whenever I've done this, I've cancelled the withdrawal within a few hours.

I can also get a $5.50 Big Fish Tournament ticket for 400 gold $0.01375/token -- a much better deal.
I like the $5 + 1 Tournament ticket bundle for 500 gold $0.0120/token -- not as good but more flexible.
Then there's Three X $3 + $1 Tournament tickets for 900 $0.0111/token -- hmmm

So all of these that specifically mention "bonus" or "ticket" or "freeplay" indicates to me that "cash" means what it says.
Note though, that the cash is exactly $0.01 per token

When I request cash it defaults to 1000 tokens
I'll take a guess and say that that's a minimum

For me, the most attractive option is the $5.50 Big Fish ticket.
However If I can use the $3.00 tickets in the daily PLO8 tournaments, that would be best for me.

Are you sure they can't do anything about it? Like annulate the bonus

For mtt's i don't like those cause it take a lot of time and it's kinda a gamble to me since i'm mainly a CG player. I used to convert my starcoins for spin'n go tickets on pokerstars but cause it was quick and i knew i'm beating micros spins.

Cash is really the best for me cause it's like straight rakeback. There's a few things in the store i would like but they seems unreachable until years cause tokens are capped... I'm very very close to leave 888 anyway they tilt me everyday almost, i think i'll wait to be ready to transfer my BR and then convert them all, then if it's stucked i'll have my BR at 0$ and be able to unlock the bonuses i guess

Yes, some bonuses are forfeited if you withdraw, but some are not.
If you go to your list of bonuses, you will see the ones that you will lose are marked.
If none are marked, you're OK

This is what I will go for too. Sounds quite nice to me.
Also from last experiences with the super millions freeroll to win $5 tickets, i think there is a less donking around on this buyin than on the micro buyins up to $1 at least.

I did test it with 1000 tokens, it's really straight cash in cash balance
