Can someone either explain the relevant points or copy and paste the T&C? Basically I just need to know what happens once I clear 3001 points.
Do I have to wait for any amount of time before I cash out in order to receive the bonus/VIP points reward thing, or can I do it instantly? Also, am I only allowed 1 free transaction per MONTH or per 30 DAYS? IOW, can I make a cashout June 29 and then another one July 1st, or do I have to wait 30 days? | | Static Link |

http://www.bonuswhores.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=21929
TRP has (had?) a signficant security issue that allowed someone to transfer player's funds out of their account. If you have an account there, it is IMPERATIVE to read that thread and doublecheck your account - and be aware so you can get a hold of TRP right away if your money disappears so they can put it back.
Again, If you have an account at TopRankedPoker with any money in it, read the above thread. | | Static Link |

Seems you've changed your mind about B2B lately.
You do see that i was talking about the paranoia created by those who knowingly broke the terms of a b2b bonus, yet thought the RAF bonus was worth it. Don't get me wrong, everyone has a right to do so, I choose however, to avoid that risk. Like I quoted, the well deserved paranoia involves a new term being added and then later enforced, which is a very real possibility in this case. For those whores who have 600Euro or more at risk, I would definitely say there is reason to be concerned.
Your attitude that since you've broken terms at a b2b site and gotten away with it, things are probably ok, is t... | | Read Entire Entry |

I'm not doubting your concerns and I'm certainly not questioning your past experiences. I've only worked through about a dozen of the B2B sites, which while not insignificant is still small potatoes compared to some here (including, I'm assuming, yourself).
I certainly understand your point about emailing CS. I guess the determination as to whether or not to contact them about it would depend on how far in you are to earning the bonus. If you're halfway there and have 300 euros to lose if you calling attention to the issue alerts them to the fact that they can screw you, silence would be golden. If you have only just started towards the bonus and haven't much to lose, asking would be beneficial as you'd know whether or not to continue towards earning the bonus. Your posts don't make clear where you are in the process so I can't possibly say whether it makes sense for you to ask.

Emailing CS and figuring out whether or not the points I worked off is invalidated will determine whether or not my continuing at this site is worthwhile. However, some of us would rather not draw attention to our poker accounts, especially before the deadline has passed. If I don't get the bonus for the points I've worked off so far, so be it, lesson learned. I'll move on to the next one. It is not just one site that a term has been changed and retroactively enforced, it has been several across the b2b network. Obviously, in your case, they have let you slide so you have this nice feeling in your stomach. As for your fellow whores, many of us have been jobbed out of 100's, and even 1000's of legitimate bonus money.
Should it not be a concern to the members here who have cleared the entire topranked bonus yet claimed the playing cards? (not me, but i'm sure a few members are in this boat) Should everyone who has requested ... | | Read Entire Entry |

1. B2B doesn't draft up the individual T&C. The particular sites do. For example, some sites still allow you to withdraw some of your money during the bonus period with no penalty. Others state that doing so forfeits the bonus, even if you've worked the whole thing off.

Can you say "overreaction"?
You could take the far more rational approach of sending an email to TopRanked to ask whether the fact that you got the cards negates your bonus. If they say yes, you stop playing, wait for the bonus to be credited, and cash out. If they say no, you can keep working off your bonus.
