| Posted by: IceboxCharlie at May 2, 2005, 3:11 pm | | Topic: City Poker Forum: Bonus Whores | | i got an email late Sat. nite that my bonus had been credited to my account.it's still not there.I went to their web page and talked to live help and was told it would be credited in just a few min.s, aha! it's there! and i didnt have to play the other 250 hands )~ i'll let it sit until tomorrow and then hit the withdraw button.then i'm outta there like shit through a goose. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: RoelofS at May 2, 2005, 12:56 pm | | Topic: City Poker Forum: Bonus Whores | It's quite nonsense to say its "just free money".
They said they were going to give it, you played the hands, so you deserve the money.
AT that point it's your money and they not giving it is nothing else but thievery.
If you win the lottery and they refuse to pay out it's thievery as well right?
I'm playing at their site at the moment and their way of getting ppl is disgusting, the site makes it look like 2.5x and its in fact 7.5x and i send a email about this, and they didnt even respond. | | Static Link |

if that pisses them off then so be it.others beware this is a nice bonus even at 7x but all we players,(not just ho's) have to go by is the sites T&C. that is as close to a contract as we can get and feel safe depositing our money there.if they won't abide by the terms they set forth or persist in reading between the lines to their advantage then whats to stop them from taking our deposits as well.any player who thinks he or she has a legit gripe should complain to the site and stand up for their rights.this is'nt just about free money it's about protecting yourself and maybe helping protect someone else at the same time. | | Static Link |

CityPoker is shady, and people don't like sites that use shady tactics. Deal with it, like the grownup you claim to be.
Then simply don't play there...and if you do, you should have the balls to deal with the problems that result rather than seek to 'piss off' people. I just think people should be a bit more adult about this.
I do not have a problem with this site or it's moderators...only pointing out the all too obvious truth about some of the attitudes on display by others. I have nothing further to say about this.

Dude, bonuses are not a birthright and too many of the 12 year olds (too many appear to be on the surface) on this site seem to think it is. It's FREE money...deal with the inevitable problems that arise on some sites, accept that all in life is not rosey and doesn't always follow as you would like it...keep your mouth shut and continue to rake in MORE fee money.
I have a fear that people who whine on and on (however correct they may think they are...and may be) are going to piss off sites so much that it is going to come back on us. Accept the money coming your way...keep your mouth shut...and prosper.

| Posted by: Admania at May 1, 2005, 12:21 am | | Topic: City Poker Forum: Bonus Whores | | fyi, i just cleared this bonus and got it into my account the same day. Basically it is 750 raked hands to get the bonus and withdraw it - in effect it's 7.5x. Still not too bad considering the standard of play on the prima network is still pretty goddam poor. | | Static Link |

They pulled the same shit with some of the others too. At the time I played it, they said only 100 more which was fine with me cause Prima action is great!

But what you are describing sounds like what I've read in another couple of posts recently: that yeah, your get your bonus after 500 raked hands - but in order to cash it out, you need to play another 250!
Can't say for sure that is what this site is about, but it sure sounds familiar to me... Sneaky terms, those. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: IceboxCharlie at April 29, 2005, 9:07 am | | Topic: City Poker Forum: Bonus Whores | | Ok,i've sent 3 emails to support and i get a quick reponse but still dont know what the frigging terms are for the bonus.has anyone done this one recently? it says that u have to have 2500 points to cash out ur bonus. 10 points for evey raked hand =250 hands.but support is telling me that the bonus won't be released into my account until i've played 500 raked hands.NOW how in the 9 frigging hells can i cash out the bonus at 2500 points-250 raked hands if it is'nt released into my account until i've played 500 raked hands?either way it's good bonus but sheesh do they have to be so confusing about it? | | Static Link |
| Posted by: SMRacine at February 6, 2005, 3:19 pm | | Topic: City Poker Forum: Bonus Whores | | The way I am cashing out is $74 at a time.....there is a minimum of a $1 fee.....$75 with get a $2 fee...$74 is only $1.....you'll end up saving about ...you'll end up saving about $6 per thousand withdrawn.....call me a cheap whore but $6 is $6...and I'll definately go out of my way to make sure they don't get it.... | | Static Link |

To me this is a very shady operation after all. I mean, why would they ever charge a Neteller cashout fee if it was to be refunded later? Stick with the large rooms that you know will definitely pay the full amount without giving hassle. Citypoker is going down imo, we'll just have to wait a bit longer. | | Static Link |

The guy who sucked out a 4 outer on me yesterday came in with $100 lost it on one hand where he had Q2 and then reloaded with $100 more and should have lost that to me. They were all playing very sketchy yesterday. I just wished I had some hands to play!

The mini view is great (once I found out they had it). I accidentally folded a flopped fh for a ~$100 pot and I got rivered out of a $200 one! Seems like a lot of Euro's play there and it would be worth my time if the play wasn't so slow. I played my 100 hands there and if they offer another decent offer I will go back.
