good post
TY sir.
One last update on the part every good whore really wants to know about - cashout.
Requested a cashout of $1,500 to my Moneybookers account at 11:20 last night. Just over 8 hours later, at 7:40 AM, the money landed in my MB account. They even used the "note" field (first time I've seen a poker site do that) with this message: "Withdrawal of $1500 from Eurolinx Poker. Congratulations on clearing the bonuses, and have a great weekend!". Just one more personal touch...it means someone reviewed the cashout and actually knew that I had cleared a bonus. Not a big deal, but I just think it speaks again to... | | Read Entire Entry |

BoboFett wrote: Unfortunately, I missed out on the bonus "trifecta" by going for it in the wrong week. I would've made another $200 on week 1, or $150 in week 2 of the rake race. In week 3, my total is way short. I see GoldBoar finished a few spots up on me, but 2 spots (309 raked hands) short of the money.
Yup, I too timed it wrong. I don't usually pay attention to these, but once I saw how "close" I was in week 2, I thought I might have a shot at week 3. As it turns out, it was a still good learning experience in just how much I can play at once, and I'm still "up".
I too got my bonus within ~15 minutes of my email to them saying I had 5k RH. I'm currently ~3800 LPs shy of 11,600, so for the # of points that would get me $100, I'll earn them to get $500 (using the WHORE coupon).

i was wrong the points earned durinc clearing the bonus can be used in the shop
the problem was that the total was not updating each time i restart the soft so i had to delete cookies and then it worked like in a dream
this bonus seems pretty nice

actually, i think she might have been a he.

we've now wasted enough time on that.
There is also some Moneybookers first time. It reads:
" Moneybookers First Deposit Bonus
Deposit for the first time at Eurolinx with Moneybookers, and get a first deposit bonus up to $750!"

I read all of the Bonus and Discussion posts. But yeah, we'll see what we can do about that.
BTW, it appears that it is now 12x. Probably most likely for those that deposit in the new promo period. Ive emailed them for clarification.
There is going to be a new first deposit bonus up to the 29th February.
100% up to $500. Must play 12 times the bonus amount in raked hands and must be cleared before 30th April.
Partial bonus can be given but the rest of the bonus will then be forfeit.

i have 1500 eurolinx points
when i log on the web site and go the shop , there is written eurolinx points availble for shop=0
0 Linxpoints, which can be used in our Player Reward Shop
Mine says that too, but when you click on "Player Reward Shop" it takes you to the points shop where you have to re-log in and than it will show the points you have available to spend, which should match the amount in the server window...

(And I could do it all online with eMoneygram, which was really, really nice to not have to head out to the local supermarket or Walmart.)
I also didn't expect the Moneygram fee to be covered (it said fees were covered on their end, I didn't realize that meant my fees for using Moneygram as well up front). It was $31 to do the 24 hour Moneygram transaction, and Eurolinx covered all of it.

The end of Day #4 and no response. Ugh. Maybe I'll look into Moneygram.
I was going to try out PIC Club, but I've heard rumors of high fees (that the player is responsible for at Eurolinx), but of course, there is no mention of these fees at Eurolinx or PIC Club (aside to say that PIC Club is not responsible for any transfer fees from the poker room).
Was hoping to get signed up by Jan 31st...hell, was hoping to have my money deposited by last Wednesday so I could clear the bonus while hopefully scooping a free $100 or $150 for playing a pile of hands during the final week of the raked hand race. Oh well.

Hmm. But the fees involved using the other methods make them unattractive. I don't ever plan on linking my bank account with an online gambling site, so that option is out. I guess I'll inquire about UseMyWallet, when I tried to check it out as a method, it told me I needed to email support to get permission to use it or something.

At the moment, we are experiencing some technical difficulties with our US credit card processor, so a player cannot directly deposit via credit card. This should be solved soon, and then US players will be able to deposit at Eurolinx directly by credit card.

Actually, my original linxpoints earning projections might have been quite pessimistic. Based on what I have cleared so far, I should be able to pull in around 7000 linxpoints (if I play 1/2 FL only) by the time I have cleared 5000 raked hands. I should be able to "buy" at least an extra $160 in bonus cash, which would actually make this around a 7.6X bonus

I was looking at how stackable the sign-up bonus, plus the $100 LinxShop bonus MDStorey found, plus this points race, could be, given that stud's antes make every hand contributed.
But if there's no game, then there's no game.

Obviously, but it will help to have 1 or 2 stud games going if he could get them started (I guess you could argue that its not a productive use of time to organize the games when you could be playing, but then again it doesn't take much time to open up an extra table and make a post or two while playing).
Like you said, if anybody is to have a chance they need to be playing other games, ideally SH and a lot of tables at the same time. It might already be too late to finish really high in this weeks race if you haven't started playing. | | Static Link |
