| Posted by: SnakeNdGrass at November 17, 2006, 12:25 am | | Topic: Bodog Strategy Forum: Bonus Whores | the 8.80 beginner tournaments are a great way to clear points....also very easy at night, harder earlier in the day

| Posted by: rickjr82 at November 16, 2006, 10:41 am | | Topic: Bodog Strategy Forum: Bonus Whores | | try to remember how many points you had when you deposited or you can check the account history of both ecash and points and compare them. It only takes a minute. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Bluffy-Girl at November 16, 2006, 8:15 am | | Topic: Bodog Strategy Forum: Bonus Whores | I think I get the part about how you have to keep track of the points you have earned against the bonus, as I guess they don't have any visibility of that.
So my question is, is there anything magical that happens once you have earned the requisite number of points to "clear" the bonus (which I guess means that you are allowed to cash out without having the bonus reclaimed?)? Or do you have to email support each time just to see if they agree that you have cleared the bonus? | | Static Link |
| Posted by: itsallaboutthemusic at November 14, 2006, 12:42 pm | | Topic: Bodog Strategy Forum: Bonus Whores | | very good thread. i was going to ask this question after i finished my 1500 pts. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: tulipan at November 13, 2006, 10:39 pm | | Topic: Bodog Strategy Forum: Bonus Whores | | I deposit 5000 at one time once a month, then clear by playing 500 tournaments, usually heads up. Then go play rake free at WSEX for a while. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Poker Pirate at November 10, 2006, 11:34 pm | | Topic: Bodog Strategy Forum: Bonus Whores | This is probably over cautious but I usually try to wait about a month b4 I redeposit after a withdrawl. Also I abuse the hell outta the sportsook bonus as well. The most important advice is not to be formulaic, ie depositing exactly $1000 eaxtactly 1 week after withdrawl each time, mix it up a bit.

| Posted by: TheFakeG at November 10, 2006, 7:14 pm | | Topic: Bodog Strategy Forum: Bonus Whores | | FWIW, I used to withdraw after doing a few more points of cover play, wait a week, then redeposit. Since I place a few wagers in their sportsbook on occasion while clearing the bonus, I've never gotten any guff from them, and I've been there about a year and a half now. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: RobDoral at November 10, 2006, 6:58 pm | | Topic: Bodog Strategy Forum: Bonus Whores | What I've been doing is depositing smaller amounts, say $200 at a time, and playing off the bonus and simply making a new deposit once I've cleared the $20/60 pts. I then made a single large withdrawal of $1000 once I'm up that high or a bit higher. I did a little cover play after clearing each $20 and I left what I had above $1000 in my account too. Heck, I even played a little BJ for a change of pace for no bonus.
I then took a break from bodog to play elsewhere for a bit (working off an old stars bonus) and then started playing at Bodog again a week later, though making different deposit amounts, say $100 and then $300. I don't know how necessary ANY of this stuff is (or if I'm fooling anyone) but I like Bodog and I don't want them messing with me in the near future.

| Posted by: Steve565 at November 10, 2006, 6:56 pm | | Topic: Bodog Strategy Forum: Bonus Whores | I was doing that in the beginning, and after a few times received a warning. They would start complaining on the immediate redeposits.
Now I normally do some cover play, maybe 5-10%. Then I withdraw, and wait for an e-mail asking me to redeposit and use that link. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: atherm at November 10, 2006, 5:42 pm | | Topic: Bodog Strategy Forum: Bonus Whores | Sorry if this has been brought up before but I wanted clarification on how to approach the bodog bonus.
I deposited $1000 which requires 300 poker points before withdrawal. I accumulated 307 points and cashed out for the full amount. I plan on redepositing for $1000 once my cash out is processed and repeating the process. Will this get me banned eventually? Do I need more cover play? How strict are they? Will I receive a warning first.
Either way, seems ridiculous to me for them to advertise a bottomless bonus if they're gonna get crabby over people wanting to always play with a bonus. Especially since it clears extremely slow. I just feel they should specify exactly what they want players to do. If I need to cover play a certain amount to make them happy then they should just make the clearing requirements whatever that amount is. any advice is appreciated. | | Static Link |
