Topic: Goalpoker Forum: Bonus Whores

And when the T&C on the website don't match the reply from support I'm giving this one a miss - website says .25 raked to count, Support say .50

Dear Mr. B Whore,

Thank you for your email.

In regards to your concern Mr. B Whore, let us kindly let you know that as compensation for offering fair and honest games, Goal Poker receives a commission, or rake. This rake is a 5% of the pot in each hand, never exceeding $3. It is our policy not to charge a rake if there is no flop ("no flop no drop"). Any hand that has generated a rake is considered a raked hand.

You will generate points (Current Points) from any hand where there is a rake of at least $0.50. In order to collect at least $0.50 on a hand the pot should be at least $10.00, considering that the rake is a 5% of that pot. Each hand where this requirement is met will be awarded with 1 Current Point. The Pending Account balance will be released to your available balance in increments of $10.00 for every 100 points.

You will also accumulate points for playing tournaments. For every $1 that you pay in Buy In FEES you will generate one point (The entry fee takes the place of the rake).

In Multi Table Tourneys, the fee is a 9% of the buy in.

Example: If a Multi Table Tournament has a buyin of $10, the buyin fee will be $0.90. In this particular case we round up to $1.

Tournament fees will round up after $0.50, meaning that if you play a tourney where you pay $1.80 in fee, you will get 2 points, if you pay $1.51, you will get 2 points, if you pay $1.45 you will get 1 point and if you pay less than $0.50 in buyin fee no points will be awarded.

On Single tournaments the Buy In FEE is shown separately from the Buy in.

Example: $10.00 + $1.00. In this case you will receive 1 point, since the Buy In FEE is $1.00.

Please note that for both Multi and Single table tournaments the points will be credited when tournament starts, not upon registration.

I hope I was able to fully explain to you how the system works. If there is anything else that I can help you with, please feel free to let me know at any time. It will be a pleasure to assist you!

Thanks for playing at Goal Poker! If there is anything else we can help you with, please let us know. We're here for you!

Sincerely,

Subject: Raked hand definition[#2072663]

Hi,

Just found your site, and am about to create an account. but just wondered
if you could clarify which raked of the commonly used raked hand definitions
for the release of the sign up bonus

is it any hand where I am dealt cards and .25 is raked, or do I need to
actually contribute to the pot for the raked hand to count?

TIA

Mat
