Mr. filthy whore
I have checked on your rake hands and counting from the day you requested the reload bonus and you have accumulated 6222 rake hands.
.....
So many emails but again, no initial bonus and I should have chanched to reload bonus with poorer terms?
But phtom from pokerhost I trust you, and I will report if You can make this right | | Static Link |
| Posted by: phtom at May 16, 2007, 1:59 pm | | Topic: PokerHoste Reload up 2000$ (Prima) Forum: Bonus Whores | Hiya,
No we can not do any reduction on the raked hands required however everyone on BW has a special release bonus, both on the sign up and the re-load. You can release the bonus in 25% increments.
Example if you go for the $2K bonus you can release it in 4 stages like this:
$500 when you have raked $1,000 or played 5000 qualified raked hands.
See our Poker Host review here on BW for more details.
Thanks

| Posted by: phtom at May 12, 2007, 11:32 am | | Topic: PokerHoste Reload up 2000$ (Prima) Forum: Bonus Whores | Hi Nerdherd,
What do you mean by excluding players ? Players will still be able to clear the bonus by rake if they play on limits below..
We have now changed the qualified raked hand requirement to:
Qualifying raked hands must be completed at minimum $0.25/$0.50 Pot Limit/No Limit or $1.00/$2.00 Fixed Limit tables in order to be counted towards the requirement. Deposit Point Hands* are hands played on real money tables only and where PokerHost receives a commission. If the real money pot does not reach the minimum requirement for rake ($5) then it will not qualify as part of the minimum hands played before the bonus will be issued.
This might be in favour for some of you. Check our T&C for more details.
Thanks | | Static Link |

Well, since you keep saying that, one has to ask, how does excluding some players (those who play below 0.50/1NL) make it equal for all levels?
Obviously it doesn't, so I am not sure why do you keep saying that. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: phtom at May 7, 2007, 9:35 am | | Topic: PokerHoste Reload up 2000$ (Prima) Forum: Bonus Whores | Hi all,
Alot of replies. First of all I like to be clear on one thing and that is that the players that are chasing or signed up on a bonus with Poker Host before 1st of May are entitled to the old rake hand rules.
This is how I like to explain why its better for all players with the new bonus conditions.
The old rules were in favor for microlimit players and worse for highlimit, the new rules are equal for all levels. We calculate an average of 20 cent per raked hand however if you contribute with more rake per hand then you have raked a lot more when the required amount of raked hands have been reached. For example if you play heads up where the max rake is $1 then your average rake hand is 50 cent and then if you play 20,000 raked hands you have raked $10,000 to clear you max bonus of $2,000.
With the new rules you can choose two ways to clear the bonus, either rake double the amount ($4,000 in this case) or play the qualified raked hands. Also please note that wit... | | Read Entire Entry |

That change does not favour anyone. It does however affects both microlmits and other players.
I rather have a min limit, than a contributed scheme.
I don't mind the contributed schemes. But if you have one the amount of hands requried has to be significantly less. So 5x instead of 10x.
The problem on the prima sites is generally sites only have 1 or 2 players at the table. So if you are playing full ring super tight they are getting nothing (unlike the big sites that have all the players and thus get all the rake).
Obviously changing to contributed and not reducing requirements makes it fairly unplayable.
Of course i prefer a 5x crhs than a 7x points shit like poker time | | Static Link |

The old rules favoured the microlimit players but the new rules benefits all level of players. We are pleased to announce the new rules dont favour microlimit players!!!
Wow what a great change!!! i'm sure all the "microlimit players" will love this crap!
Hey thomas nice post can you answer how it "benefits all players"? What if you play below $0.50/$1NL? I guess those players are scum and dont count as players...
Even if you play above that, it still appears to be worse than before. Wish I got in before the change. | | Static Link |

My name is Tomas and I work for Poker Host. If you have any questions at all regarding us just send me a PM or post it in this thread and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
First of all I like to clear out a few things regarding the bonus at Poker Host. We changed the T&C from the 1st of May. This means that all players that signed up for a bonus or re-load bonus before the 1st of May will be eligible to the old bonus rules.
New rules
There are now 2 ways to clear the bonus, play the required qualified raked hands or rake double the amount of the bonus.
If you want to clear the $2,000 bonus you need to play $20,000 qualified raked hands* or rake $4,000.
Check out Poker Host for more details.

Dear Player,
You have indeed been enrolled in the ID1000 bonus, which means you have to play 10000 raked hands under the old terms. If you want to you can keep playing to get this bonus, and later on request the reload bonus, which would have to be played under the new terms.

1. Deposited 1000
2. played just under 4000 rh before new terms
3. Contacted livesupport, they said that I can have 350 bonus for those raked hands which I already had, and then reload.
4. Took contact support when I read that old terms are valid for another players. Support person (ROME) said that ofcourse it is so that I will play whole 1st bonus with old terms (I have copied that chat)
5. Got today email from support: Now I am playing reload with new terms, and I have not got any bonus.
6. Waiting for a new answer before closing my account?
7. Chatted with sóme another liveperson, he did not understand my anger when I said that would I be stupid enough to want play reload with new terms and throw those played 4000 raked hands away?

Why?? The bonus was just too good....They also want to make profit so i can understand that they changed the requirements. But its still not that bad, if u play SH 1/2 its about 20x Dealt RH
Does anybody know if u can receive automatic rakeback on their site (like Nordicbet, Rednines etc.)? | | Static Link |

It would be great if someone could confirm this, because I rather keep that amount of money at pokerstars than pokerhost to be honest.
I saw this thread at 2+2 where someone said that the support first said it was contributed and to someone else it was dealt. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=bonus&Number=9865396&Searchpage=1&Main=9859097&Words=pokerhost&topic=&Search=true#Post9865396

| Posted by: 2dc at April 29, 2007, 6:17 am | | Topic: PokerHoste Reload up 2000$ (Prima) Forum: Bonus Whores | This seems like a very good bonus, given todays standards.
Anyone got an idea how long it would take at FR, 50NL? (in amount of hands +-)
It's $2.60/hr at FR according to the bw site.
Thats about 200hours 4-tabling if I make a quick calculation.
From what I understand, you got to finish this 2k bonus by September 30th, 2007. (the signup one, that is)
And if I finish the signup bonus before June,15th I can do the reload bonus too (that I also need to finish before september,30th ) | | Static Link |

there is also rednines, they have a bonus similar to the big bang bonus on nordicbet, for every 2000 contributed raked hands youll get $200 which is about 4000 dealt raked hands for me (i whore at 1/2 limit SH) and for every 10.000 rh another $200 + you can receive 30% rakeback, so that makes it around $1700 for 20.000 dealt Raked hands... | | Static Link |

i'll stop short of recommending it until i get my monies though.
i'm planning on clearing this and then hitting gutshot unless there's major problems.
