| Posted by: Jwonks at February 10, 2006, 5:25 pm | | Topic: Important update at B2B Forum: Bonus Whores | Today, 2/10/2006, I got the full 600EUR first-time deposit at Martins with 3132 total VIPs; and for reference, the novreload on 12/28/2005, and the crazy x-mas reload on 1/5/2006.
I'm also scheduled to get paid for the dec reload this coming Saturday/Sunday, so it will be extra sweet if this ends up working.

Glad I was my usual "bad whore" self and played well beyond 3600 points, otherwise I might be stuck in the same boat.

Why casinos and now poker sites have some of the worst administration is beyond me. Places are so wishy-washy you'd think they don't actually want to make any money and enjoy pissing off their customers.

Yes they did say it was going to clear concurrently. It wasn't a bug, it was a change in policy. There's a thread on 2+2 about this, maybe you should read it before calling people names like a 5 year old.
I never read any info about concurrent clearance at any B2B -- we likely would not have discovered concurrency if Martin's hadn't offered a reload that didn't have a 30 day limit on it. In addition, when more than one 'tard contacted CS about concurrency, they were told it wasn't supposed to be like that, and that concurrency would be fixed.
You like that? I called someone a 'tard! Like a 5 yr old!

Man, I'd rather trust a russian poker site than a scandinivian one after this and the Expekt scam.
To be fair, the poker site never said the bonuses would clear at the same time.
I am going to need to put in 600 more VIP and adjust all of my hourly earning rates from previously played B2B bonuses. I would rather do that than risk not getting the 600 euro.
It's not like you would get €0. They pro rate. W/O the extra 600 VIP, you would get €480. | | Static Link |

I gonna fire up a B2bB site with a 2000 euro sig up bonus that is cleared with 500 euro/200 VIP and is paid out after 60 days yu guys wanna play at my site?
Gr8 I guess so then after 59 days I change the terms and conditions for it to 10 euro/1000 VIP and earn a hell lot of money.
This is planed by their site all the bonuses were to good to be true. Why else right now before the most of us gonna get our first deposit bonuses paid out?
Fakking fraud.

I would assume the same ... B2B changes seem to take place across the whole network at once. If I were you, I would probably just clear one of them and see if you get credited for both. Losing out on a 10x is not the end of the world. There are a million of them on the network.

i could have sworn they did tell us they were clearing concurrently. i agree, that they shouldn't go back retroactively.
i think i'm safe though. i played extra as cover, etc. anyways. did the signup bonus, novreload, decreload,and crazychristmas, for a total of 1200 Euros, and i've got 6391 vip in my account. i should be good, right? i've only gotten 400e so far in bonus anyways, so i don't think i got whichever of those was a fake reload anyways.

| Posted by: windbreaker at February 2, 2006, 10:53 am | | Topic: Important update at B2B Forum: Bonus Whores | | You guys aren't risking losing 600 Euros if you don't hit 3600/4200 VIP. You're simply not maximizing the 5x bonus portion. Eg. If you did both reloads and stopped at 3000 VIP. Then you need to play another 1200 VIP to clear a full 600 Euros for the first deposit bonus. If you choose not to play the full amount, you should receive 360 Euros. Leaving 240 on the table. This isn't an all or nothing proposition. The bonus clears at a rate of 20 Euros every 100 VIP. | | Static Link |
