Yes.

I'd suggest trying a small €30 max, 5x first to see what you think and take it from there.

That being said, I looked at rivalbet and asked around(before I had found this forum,) and got some pretty bad feedback, mainly that they don't compute the bonus how they claim on the site, and their CS was poor. When I gave up on rivalbet, that's when I started looking at Alamo.
If anyone has played either of those sites, a report would be appreciated. | | Static Link |

Ongame skin Forum: Bonus Whores | Yeah, that's true, they don't always have the answers for specific sites, but it gets the ball rolling, and maybe they can get the attention of the site cs for you.
Too bad no ones played Alamo yet. Still might give it a try at some point, after I've cleared the PR reload and my FCP. I think I'd rather stay at sites I have experience with when they have reloads, then go to a new site if I can't get a report from someone who's played there/cashed out successfully, etc. There are too many stories out there of sites misrepresenting their bonus terms, or being a hassle to cash out, or even money disappearing from peoples accounts. | | Static Link |

They aren't so good talking about a site's specific promotions but they might know if Alamo has a WR for cashing out one's initial deposit. I'm most curious if we can deposit $1000, get the $500 in cash, and then withdraw the $1000 again leaving the $500 to play with. I've got a lot on my plate at the moment but I might give live support a shot and see what they can come up with.

Yeah whats up with the CS support of these smaller Ongame skins, i emailed New York poker about 2 weeks ago asking about the downloadable client which they mention in their FAQs but which is nowhere to be found on their site and they havent responded yet... | | Static Link |

I might try some of the alternate email address listed on their home page. It's kind of touchy to ask them if I can make a deposit, withdraw it, and play off their free $500 but I'll think of some way to ask that doesn't make me sound like a slobbering whore.
The only thing I can confirm is that their cashier service IS the same as Bayou and West Coast Wagers. I've never had a problem with the service but I'm probably in the minority.

Ongame skin Forum: Bonus Whores | contributed rake is simply a measure of when you have put something into the pot for that hand. so if your VPIP (voluntary put into pot) % is around the whoring 20% standard then u will only be getting points 1/5 of the time. Contributed rake is a sheisty deal if you ask me

Ok, in their T&Cs it says "You must generate an amount equal to the bonus/prize amount in rake before cashing out on bonus funds acquired through such promotions, unless otherwise stated."
I generated $1060 in rake clearing Eurobet's $600 signup (looked it up). I don't know if this would mean you'd have to generate $1000 in rake or $500 (I'd guess 1K) but this seems like a fairly good deal unless I've got some details wrong or they're hiding something nasty in their T&Cs. The $500 real cash would obviously be a 100% contibuted rakeback bonus and assuming that they botched their player points description the other $500 would be... | | Read Entire Entry |

Anyone play there? If so, any problems with support/cashout?

To be fair, this bonus might not be that bad and I'm thinking of cross posting this in the bonus forum. Alamo appears to be a Poker Room skin, so the 10x pts per $1 is pretty standard if not particuarly exceptional. The way they say you earn points is probably wrong. I think it's just like every other skin, .7 pts per $1 in rake.
