| Posted by: Nicodemus at January 7, 2006, 11:10 pm | | Topic: Summary of Crypto Monthlies Forum: Bonus Whores | For most of the crypto sites, the bonuses are NOT deducted from the MGR, so it pays to get a rakeback account in some cases.
Many feel that you should signup through the the BW links so that BW receives the revenue, but just to be clear on your options, when you do this, you are giving up rakeback on those sites forever (effectively).
In the end the choice is yours.

Thanks grim,
Can anyone confirm Ritz Club as being Non-US players only? Seems like alot of players post about playing there.
Also, are most hoes on rakeback for Cryptos? Does the bonus count against MGR, making rakeback useless? Any good affiliate prizes out there? Or did most just sign up thru BW site?
Thanks again. | | Static Link |

RitzClub is non-US right? So do you all mostly agree that UKbetting, Totalbet, and WillHill are the 3 that a new Crypto whore should do?
Also, is there any sort of deposit bonus for these sites? Or, is it simply that deposits dont matter, you simply play and get the monthly bonus.

| Posted by: post1958 at January 5, 2006, 11:42 am | | Topic: Summary of Crypto Monthlies Forum: Bonus Whores | Instead of using a clock, a poster named ninguno came up with this simple formula in another thread called "counting time on crypto bonuses".
With the newer version of crypto counter I can't find the old timer function where you can just increment the number of tables and it just ticks 2,3,etc. seconds at a time.
If the function is there someone point it out for me please!
Otherwise, I created a spreadsheet function that I thought I'd share in case anyone wants it. It's not nearly as slick.
You have to enter the start times manually for each table (i'm not savvy enough to script it into a button or nothing) in cells B2-B9 (I assumed a max of 8 tables, leave spaces blank if you have less)
Then in some other cell put in this equation:
=MAX(B2:B9)+TIME(0,(300-MINUTE((MAX(B2:B9)-B2)*(B2>0)*1+(MAX(B2:B9)-B3)*(B3>0)*1+(MAX(B2:B9)-B4)*(B4>0)*1+(MAX(B2:B9)-B5)*(B5>0)*1+(MAX(B2:B9)-B6)*(B6>0)*1+(MAX(B2:B9)-B7)*(B7>0)*... | | Read Entire Entry |

Uhm when you sit down at a table, look at the clock and note the time. When you leave, note the time again. I know it sounds crazy, but it works.
Uhm, i think i have heard of those gizmos called clocks. i was wondering if there was some sort of a counter within the site that would show how much u have played or how much u have left WITHOUT having to write down when u started and stopped. u could have just said, "there is no way other than traking the time yourself", no reason to put in the passive aggressive jab to make yourself feel smart. uuuuuhhhmmmmm, ok?

You always have the stats visible in the task bar when minimized. Go for it.

do the poker points account for the 1/4 point for the .25 - 1.00 rakes? if so, this is awesome, cuz sorting through pokertracker and the different raked hands has kinda been a pain the past few months. any confirmation that the poker points equals exactly the poker plex/littlewoods/caribbean sun raked hand definition is much appreciated.

Uhm when you sit down at a table, look at the clock and note the time. When you leave, note the time again. I know it sounds crazy, but it works. You can also use the sessions tab if you are a Poker Tracker user. It will tell you how long you played at each table.

Yes, all 3 of those sites maintain your balance in £, so any transactions in/out of your $ Neteller account get hit by a 1.9% current transaction fee (basically a 1.9% spread on the current exchange rate). So if you deposited $200, played your hands out in 3 hours, taking a $45 loss but getting credited $45 in bonus money (approx for £25), and withdrew $200 (a completely breakeven session), you would end up eating about $7.60 in costs. Couple that with the fluctuating exchange rates, and it can be fun.
Still very much worth doing, however. Best if you can leave a playable balance in each that you don't withdraw, so you don't ... | | Read Entire Entry |

To answer the questions in this thread.
1) Carib Sun's casino is also seperate from their poker room bonus, although I would not recommend that one. Pretty tough to clear. ukBet and totalBet also have casino bonuses that operate seperate from the poker rooms.
2) I didn't include Ritz Club because I don't know anything about it (I'm from the US). If someone can give me the information, I'll add it in.
3) As far as I know, ukBet, totalBet and Littlewoods only operate in pounds and Neteller charges you 1.9% to convert both ways (into the poker room and out).
4) I don't know about the Littlewood's bonus, but I would assume that the casino bonus is still seperate as it always has been. No mention anywhere that it's changed.
Also, quick note that people have been getting banned from some crypto casino bonuses, so some coverplay could be warranted if you're into the whole casino thing. | | Static Link |

Caribbean Sub
InterPoker
Bonus seperate from Poker Bonus
Will Hill
Littlewoods

I thought that this was for the casino bonus? someone stated that you can find the number of raked hands played towards a poker bonus. am i just a moron and thought that this was telling me my casino status when it was telling me my raked hands all along?

As Nicodemus said, they still stack, but do not clear concurrently with each other. The weekend bonus promos (which they tend to offer once a month) clear concurrently with whatever monthly reload you happen to be clearing. | | Static Link |

Below is the email I received from Littlewoods.
------------------
Hello and thank you for contacting the Littlewoods Poker Support team.
Please keep in mind that in order to receive the monthly bonus you need to complete 250 raked hands within a calender month.
Our records show that so far in November you have completed 70 raked hands and therefore need to complete another 180 to be credited the November bonus.
For a hand to count as raked the final pot must reach $20/£20. If the pot is between $5/£5 and $20/£20 then this hand counts as 1/4 of a raked hand.
