any clarification appreciated.

Boy, you weren't kidding. I just signed up there and took the 20% bonus. only need 120 of them to clear. At bodog that would take me 3 days of full time whoring, and I'd make an average of 4 dollars per tournament not counting the bonus. For some reason, well, mostly because of the crappy interface and extra 500 dollars and extremely slow blind advancements, it will take me 6 days to clear. OMG do I miss bodog, can't wait to redeposit in a week or two. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: hackermike at July 26, 2005, 10:46 am | | Topic: clearing with tournaments Forum: Bonus Whores | i would say bodog and pstars are the way to go if you want to clear bonuses in tourneys. you can go othe places if you wanted, but bodog had a bottomless bonus. and it will take you 86 years to clear about your poker stars bonuses by playing in tourneys. so basically between those two sites you will be set.
also, i have heard that pacific has the easiest tourneys with good payout structures. i have never played them myself though. | | Static Link |

I believe only the ones in Victor Chandler and Doyle's Room sub-network actually list tourneys as a way to clear bonus in their T&C, whereas Golden Palace does not (and is it not entirely clear whether Doyle's Room allows tourney fees to actually clear bonus, rather than just being added to the accumulated Action Points total).
Thanks Ed. UB customer service must have been confused with my question. The only Tribeca skin I emailed was Victor Chandler, so that explains that. I'll update the chart. | | Static Link |

Here is a preview:

| Posted by: ed209 at July 26, 2005, 8:05 am | | Topic: clearing with tournaments Forum: Bonus Whores | among the major sites:
bodog - 200%
pokerstars - 100%
pokerroom - 71%
full tilt - 42%
absolute - 10%
paradise - 10%
for party skins, tourney fees count as MGR towards rakeback. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: iwasajackoff at July 26, 2005, 7:11 am | | Topic: clearing with tournaments Forum: Bonus Whores | | This is more of a question then an answer. since the pacific bonus is based on amount bet can that be the tournement entry or is it only amount bet in ring games. If tournys and SNGs count that would probaly make it second best to bodog. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: tizlinda at July 25, 2005, 10:52 pm | | Topic: clearing with tournaments Forum: Bonus Whores | | I'm pretty sure Bodog is the best site to clear bonuses with tournament and I know you can with hollywoods new bonus (but very slowly); what is the next best site to clear with tournament buyins (by best of course I mean fastest). | | Static Link |
