| Posted by: ProsperousOne at July 1, 2005, 5:51 am | | Topic: Littlewoods clearing question Forum: Bonus Whores | Here's 2 emails I just received from Little woods. The jist is what we have discovered:
1) You get a 25 Pound monthly bonus you can use for poker.
2) The other bonus is only valid in the Casino.
Here's the emails:

Dear Steve,
Hello and thank you for contacting the Littlewoods Poker Support team.
I am pleased to confirm that your were credited £25 bonus on 24/06/2005 22:15:10 EST.
The reason that you cannot see it is because this bonus does not appear as a separate transaction, but is added to your poker balance at the time you are sitting at a table and have played the last required hand.
After being credited with the £25, your poker balance became £50.25 which was then transferred to your Cashier.

| Posted by: Mouse at June 28, 2005, 4:17 pm | | Topic: Littlewoods clearing question Forum: Bonus Whores | Yes, 25 pounds monthly for 250 played hands (not raked hands). It's quite nice, really. Maybe it's not a lot of money but it's trivial to clear.
However, in your first month you do NOT get a 50 pound bonus. It's 25 the first month and every month after that. | | Static Link |

BTW, I've played 250 hands and it's still not showing up as cleared.
This is the first I've heard of this. Can anyone else confirm that this is only for a single month?

| Posted by: Zvolen at June 27, 2005, 8:32 pm | | Topic: Littlewoods clearing question Forum: Bonus Whores | Lets see if I can get this straight, deposit $50 and receive a 25 pound bonus for 250 DEALT hands which withdrawable once the PIn arrives, despite never clearing the other bonus. But to clear the other bonus you must playt in the casino? What is the WR for the casino?
Is this all correct? | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Loke at June 27, 2005, 7:01 pm | | Topic: Littlewoods clearing question Forum: Bonus Whores | I already went through all this so I'll save you some time, emails, and consternation.
The web page is misleading. There is a single 25 pound bonus in the poker room that is cleared at 250 hands (not raked hands). There is an initial 25 pound casino bonus and a 25 pound monthly casino bonus. These clear 25 pounds at a time and are RISK FREE. So, play your 250 poker hands and get your 25 released (you will NOT see this 25 pounds pending anywhere, it just shows up when you hit 250 hands). Then go play off the casino money. I did this and turned a 169 pound profit, mostly in the casino. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: ProsperousOne at June 27, 2005, 5:10 pm | | Topic: Littlewoods clearing question Forum: Bonus Whores | I'm in the exact same boat. Deposited $50USD and got a 25 pound sign up bonus and 25 pound monthly bonus, and have played 300 hands, so both should have cleared, but only my initial deposit shows up (broke even on poker play).
There is NOTHING in their offer that implies that the bonus is only valid in the casino. ie, it should be valid in the poker room......
I've emailed customer service and will post their reply... | | Static Link |

I got up to 500 hands but no second bonus. I'm debating between calling customer support to verify or just withdrawing most of my bankroll when I get my PIN in snail mail.
Does anyone know for certain one way or the other on the poker bonuses? I'm not really interested in casino bonuses at this point.
UMMMM, Can I have your casino bonus?

| Posted by: daneq at June 27, 2005, 8:24 am | | Topic: Littlewoods clearing question Forum: Bonus Whores | Sooooo... let me get this straight because there seems to be contridictions in this thread...
For playing only poker, there is no sign-up bonus of 25 GBP, just the 25 GBP monthly? | | Static Link |

It won't just clear another 25, it will clear everything once you've worked off the last stacked bonus. This is the same way that the old UKBetting and TotalBet casino bonuses used to work.
You're right. I hadn't done UK and Total for quite some time.
Thanks - all cleared and now off to finish the poker | | Static Link |

Ah... maybe this all makes sense. I've played less than 500 hands. I assumed I could clear both 25 pound bonuses with the first 250 hands. I will play up to 500 hands and see if I get the other 25 pound bonus.
I believe both bonuses are still active:

I just signed up for Littlewoods (through BW of course ) and clearing it as I type and I have a pending bonus of 50. So unless the other 25 is for the casino I got the sign up too.
edit: strange thing. I just wagered 500 at the casino and now 25 of the 50 is now cashable. But I won 10 during the wagering and now I have 35 in pending bonus??????? | | Static Link |

| Posted by: Mouse at June 26, 2005, 4:17 pm | | Topic: Littlewoods clearing question Forum: Bonus Whores | Hm... I may be confused about my net result. Perhaps I'm actually down money and 334 is really my true balance including the 50 pounds bonus.
The currency conversions make my head hurt.
EDIT: Well according to poker tracker (doing currency conversions manually) I should be up almost exactly 10 pounds, so my current balance should be 360. I have no idea.
Actually... if I have been credited with one 25 pound bonus then my Winthrawl Limit of 334 is exactly what I think I should have. So maybe I have been credited with only one of the two 25 pound bonuses.
I will give it a day or two and see what happens.
EDIT AGAIN: Doh! I just realized I can't withdraw until I get my PIN in the mail anyways. So no rush, really. Bah. I should not have deposited so much... I wanted to have more free to get the Absolute sign-up bonus. Oh well, I have about $400 kicking around that's not tied up in Interpoker/Littlewoods (no PIN for either yet). | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Ben_Knifed at June 26, 2005, 4:11 pm | | Topic: Littlewoods clearing question Forum: Bonus Whores | yes, i believe the extra 50 is a casino bonus which will never clear if you just play poker. thepoker bonus is automatically credited to your balance, so pay no attention to the extra 50

| Posted by: Mouse at June 26, 2005, 3:51 pm | | Topic: Littlewoods clearing question Forum: Bonus Whores | Ok, I talked with a support person. I'm a bit confused now.
I deposited 300 pounds this morning and played the hands. My Balance is now 384 pounds, which includes the 50 pounds from the bonuses and 34 pounds in winnings. This is fine.
However my Withdrawl Limit is only 334 pounds - 50 pounds less than my Balance.
So, have I been properly credit with the bonus or not? The customer support girl was a little confused as well (at first she insisted that the bonuses were only in the casino) so I'm not entire sure this is all fine.
Don't ask me why I deposited 300 pounds. I should have just done 150 or so. I need to know if everything is cool because I want to withdraw and leave just enough money to comfortably play the 25 pound monthly bonus next month. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Mouse at June 26, 2005, 1:43 pm | | Topic: Littlewoods clearing question Forum: Bonus Whores | | I thought the Littlewoods bonus was just for 250 hands with no rake requirement? I'm only at 160 hands with rake >=0.25 so I guess that would explain it. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Mouse at June 26, 2005, 1:14 pm | | Topic: Littlewoods clearing question Forum: Bonus Whores | | I've played 260 hands at Littlewoods today but my 50 pound bonus has not cleared. The T&C says it must be played at 1/2 LHE and above. Some of my hands were played on 1/2 dollar tables (as opposed to 1/2 pound tables). Is that the problem? | | Static Link |
