Their T&C state that you will not get the bonus if you have cashed out in the last 12 hours prior to the bonus period (i.e. Sunday midnight). So in theory you cannot redeposit for today's bonus. But you can always try.
banshee: Your answers are correct. But did you read the question?
ipdaily: You got it. You can cashout completely and keep your pending bonus (it will expire after 60 days - they will send you an email to warn you) | | Static Link |
| Posted by: ipdaily at September 16, 2005, 10:50 pm | | Topic: absolute reload Forum: Bonus Whores | Just to get this straight. If you deposit for this bonus, can you withdraw the money deposited before clearing the bonus.
From the above post it seems that i can simply wait 48 hours and withdraw the amount i deposited while keeping the pending bonus money.
thanks | | Static Link |
| Posted by: banshee75 at September 16, 2005, 8:38 pm | | Topic: absolute reload Forum: Bonus Whores | | i'm pretty sure you can redeposit right away, only thing is you have to wait 48 hours before withdrawing after depositing, anyone feel free to correct me if im wrong. | | Static Link |

I dunno how I ended up the first player in history to load that site without a bonus, but luckily cleaned up that mess the next day. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: MasterShake at April 21, 2005, 4:08 pm | | Topic: absolute reload Forum: Bonus Whores | I searched after I saw your post, and found the 2+2 thread. I called Absolute and it sounds like some people were taking advantage of a promotion, so Absolute has had to temporarily tighten security for cash outs.
It's that or Absolute is going under, and taking our money with them | | Static Link |

Well, keep in mind that 2+2 is worse than a sewing circle when it comes to spreading rumors, but if you must read, here ya go...

Your first intelligible sentence was your best.
I currently have a $1079 withdrawal pending there, and after reading some rumors over on 2+2, I am slightly worried.

1. Piss poor game selection. Rarely more than 2 games going at any level
2. Infuriating software. How many times do you have to click "OK" when playing there? You have been added to the waiting list (OK); You have been removed from the waiting list (OK); We have reserved a seat for you at XXXX table" (OK). and my all time favorite, "Player DEENUTZAA has been reconnected (OK);
3. Retarded waiting list structure. Why in the hell does it remove you from all waiting lists when you are seated at a table? Then you have to click "OK" again about 20 times to rejoin the lists.
4. Tight, rocky games.
5. Eye-pain inducing graphics.
6. Ear-splitting sounds.
7. Resource-draining software.
And that's just the beginning.

Yeah the software isn't the best, but they have the best effectivly bottemless bonus deal around. Clearance rate is better than UB, or FT, and Bodog(unless you play at 2/4+).
Add a nice rakeback program and it seems like a great 'fall back' site. | | Static Link |

but really, apr20 on april the 20th for 20%.
there really should just be a sticky or a continual absolute thread that just gets pushed back to the top of the forum with the new reload information..
theres really no need to cluter the servers and the histories with 4 million absolute reload threads.

Secondly, i've seen discussion about using bots to play. What about all of the foreigners.

| Posted by: ed209 at March 15, 2005, 6:21 pm | | Topic: absolute reload Forum: Bonus Whores | I think people overestimate how many casual, part-time online poker players are aware of bonus opportunities. there are less than 2000 BW members, and then even large communities like 2+2 and cardplayer have about 25000 and 13000 (respectively); which isn't even a blip on the internet meter, and probably half of those are strictly B&M/home game players to boot.
So chances are when you sit at a 10-man table online when there isn't a major reload offer (one that's advertised on the site's front page) going on, only 1 or 2 out of the 10 players might be aware of bonuses and/or rakeback while they're playing. so if you look at it that way, Absolute may only be paying 10 cents of bonus to 2 players when they rake 25 cents, and then they probably are making money on the deposited money that everyone is playing with. Plus Absolute makes some extra pennies in rake at the micro limits which rake less than 25 cents, as well as the high limit games where they take as much as 50 cents rake revenue per pl... | | Read Entire Entry |

Given:
10 $ per person for every 100 raked hand
minimum rake per raked hand 0.25 I think?? (will of course be more sometimes)
That means each player who's on the bonus (I suppose 1 or 2 aren't?) gets 10 cents a hand. If there's 9 players they pay 90 cents in bonus and get 25 cents. I was thinking about that last week and wondering where they are making money. Guess they must be making it somewhere though because they keep offering the bonuses. | | Static Link |

They have been doing it since they opened. month after month sometimes weekly sometimes daily. It's a lot of $$ for us but they just can't get the business that Party or even PS gets. They asked us what they could do to make the site better a few months ago and I know everyone said get rid of the 9 player tables among other things

Everybody who has been reading these ramblings from a suspicious old man ... listen to jek. He is certainly in a better position to know about AP than I am.

Sorry for being chicken little. It just felt strange. Maybe thats because they are the ones who know how it SHOULD be done. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Viscant at March 15, 2005, 1:33 pm | | Topic: absolute reload Forum: Bonus Whores | It's good to hear about their financial situation. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't slightly concerned about them the way they throw money around.
But it appears their strategy is working. I've been on Absolute for 3 months and the traffic is noticeably higher. Last night there were 4-5 full 5/10 tables. 2-3 full 3-6 tables. And the 6max is always plentiful. And this was just middle of the night poker junkie time. And you know they're making their money back at that level.
I just wish that all other sites would follow Absolute's lead and throw bonuses around. | | Static Link |
