You are correct. The raked hands I mentioned above were the hands raked $0.25 or more.

| Posted by: MDStorey at February 1, 2008, 5:53 pm | | Topic: Gnuf Poker Faster Point accumulation Forum: Bonus Whores | With all the current interest in Eurolinx and a couple other microgaming bonii being offered, I'm sure there is not a whole lot of interest in Gnuf... I figured I would mention though that their points are not accumulating to schedule. I played 74 raked hands (50NL) there last night before going to bed and noticed I only accumulated 53.20 Gnuf Points. I played a second session in the morning for another 79 hands and this time I earned 70 Gnuf points...
I thought at first that I might only be getting points on contributed raked hands, but I was getting slightly more than that would have been.
So I fired off this email to them:
Hello. I signed up a couple of days ago... I have played a total of 153 raked
hands at the .25/.50 no limit holdem tables according to your software.
According to the new points earning list I should have a
total of 214.20 Gnuf Points, yet the software says I have only accumulated
123.2 Gnuf points. Is there a glitch in your new po... | | Read Entire Entry |
| Posted by: daraider at January 30, 2008, 2:41 pm | | Topic: Gnuf Poker Faster Point accumulation Forum: Bonus Whores | What really pissed me off if when support said they wanted to give me the 7x points but they couldn't change the ratio and then admitting it was still being advertised as 7x.
Even thought 8x raked hands isn't bad, im not doing this one for now on principal, although maybe in a few weeks principal won't look as good. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: Gonzo787 at January 30, 2008, 11:51 am | | Topic: Gnuf Poker Faster Point accumulation Forum: Bonus Whores | Hey Daraider,
sorry you experienced this. As you probably could tell from my OP, I was skeptical of it myself since it was such a great bonus, but we could only go by the information we were given at the time. The right hand didnt obviously know what the left was doing. In fact, when I emailed cs again the first person who emailed me back said it was still 7/$1. I then told them about your experience and only then did they reply back that said it was 20/$1.
The bonus does clear slightly faster than it did before however. At least they got that right. At 1/2 it used to be the equivalent to a 17.5x raked hand bonus and now it is somewhere around 14.25x. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: daraider at January 29, 2008, 7:16 pm | | Topic: Gnuf Poker Faster Point accumulation Forum: Bonus Whores | Sadly the bonus isn't 7xpoints, it is 20xpoints.
Just tried to do it and support say it is 1000 points for 50 bucks. I have asked them to take it off because I am so annoyed it isn't 7xpoints.
Guess you need to update your bonus page.
I assume I am still signed up via bonuswhores as I signed up to dream poker via bonuswhores and then my dream account became a gnuf account.
Quote: I see your point now. The affiliate is most probably not yet aware of this change at Gnuf and still advetises the old clearing ratio.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.
Kind Regards
Maxim @ Gnuf Support
Don't you just love how they admit they bait and switch.
And even better
Quote: I would be happy to give you the 7x clearing bonus as you initially got to know of it, however am unable to, as a ratio change in our system has already been applied.

Thank you for contacting Gnuf.
We have closed your account as you requested.
I've never tried to log in to see if it's actually gone.

I actually asked them to close my new GNUF account when Dream merged me into them. I'll wonder someday if I can create a new account there, but I'm not interested at the moment.

I have a gnuf account cause dream poker merged and they turned my account into a gnuf one.
The only current bonus is the signup. They offered a reload bonus in December and I was told a couple weeks ago that they are thinking of offering another one. I'd contact cs and tell them your circumstances and that you would like to do their signup bonus. The worst they can say is no. | | Static Link |

Yeah, pretty good bonus on the surface. As I referenced in my OP, this is the type of bonus thats so good you almost expect the terms to change. That said, with all the known information we currently have its valid. | | Static Link |
