Its one thing to change there monthly bonus at first of the month Im ok with that they can make it whatever they want. But when they change it for the BW2000 and the PL3000 wich many players were in middle of doing thats another its wrong. If it wasent some flakey offshore casino
there would be recourse but all we can do is take our money and play somewhere else even players that are ok with the playing higher limets should play somewhere else plenty of other bonuses for 2/4 and above players. Its time to get the message across we dont have to reward bad service and bait and switch tactics. If you think this dosent apply to you think again because your next! | | Static Link |

Not true! You do not need to withdraw your funds as the bonus money gets wagered first.
As has been mentioned in another thread, withdrawing your funds before trying to earn off the bonus may make it easier for them to make the case against you as a bonus abuser and bar you from future bonuses. | | Static Link |

Do I deposit the $90 and then Withdrawal it a day or so later leaving only the bonus or do I have to leave the money in the account and the Casino automatically lets me play with thre bonus money first?
I also have this question regarding Caribbean Sun as well.
Thanks in advance for the help
Thanks,

I think it more likely that they did not correctly anticipate what would happen when they introduced the micro limits to the site, - namely that all their 1-2 traffic would dry up. So, now they are forced to find some way to beef up their 1-2 tables again.
Unfortunately for them, and for us, I think they went a little too far, requiring a $20 pot, since as has been pointed out, this really requires 2-4 play, not 1-2. A $10 pot size would have been better for them and for us.
Bottom line, I think if you don't play higher than 1-2, then you won't want to clear this bonus playing poker, - maybe the casino if you're into that. But, if you are comfortable playing 2-4 and above, then a 5x bonus is pretty nice. | | Static Link |

With the new rules I don't think they mind being whored that much. You are forced to play higher limits, giving traffic to the tables that generate more rake for the site. So you are probably welcome even if you only play for their bonus. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Randyb at July 6, 2005, 2:00 am | | Topic: Boycott Cheats at Interpoker Forum: Bonus Whores | Let's see... IP changes its bonus to reward those less likely to be bonus whores. So we call for a boycott against IP, which is exactly what they would want.... to reduce bonus whoring...Tough call either way

You could always get back at them by clearing the bonus at the casino every month and cause them to lose money... | | Static Link |
