Post please if anyone has done both the poker and casino this month and gotten both bonus.
Thanks | | Static Link |
| Posted by: topdawg2003 at November 3, 2005, 1:39 pm | | Topic: Changes in Littlewood bonus?! Forum: Bonus Whores | well, i know poker tracker tells you how many hands were raked at a minimum of X amount of dollars....
1) set it since a specific date (i.e. the first of the month) on the preferences tab
2) pick the amount of min rake of $1, and say you have 45 hands that are $1 or more
3) then set it to 25 cents or whatever denomination... and say you have 120 hands... that means you have 120 - 45 raked at more than 25 cents but less than $1...
not as easy as the crypto counter, but not that bad either...
by the way, anyone know how fast this will clear at $2 / $4 NL (the bonus grid still shows the old stats)
nevermind, i can't even find one full ring $2 / $5 game going on right now... 50 c / $1 seems to be the popular choice, and i think that would take forever... plus, i'm sure i make more money with normal NL $2 / $4 games than 50 c / $1 even with the bonus
one more off my list... guess the casino is still good... | | Static Link |
| Posted by: patient77 at November 3, 2005, 12:14 pm | | Topic: Changes in Littlewood bonus?! Forum: Bonus Whores | is there any way to keep track of the number of hands that raked $1 and those that raked less than a buck but more than a quarter. do we all need an updated crypto counter now with these new changes? i have pokertracker but can't find an easy way to track when i've completed the requirements, and closing all the tables after every 50 hands is a pain in the butt.

| Posted by: shabik at November 2, 2005, 2:06 pm | | Topic: Changes in Littlewood bonus?! Forum: Bonus Whores | is it really that bad?
I mean 1 in about 4 hands at 1/2$ fixed in shorthanded games is raked 1$+
right?
And all hands almost count as 1/4
With that being said, in every 100 hands at 1/2$ it goes 43,75 raked hands.
so its like 570 dealt hands for 45$
so 12.7x
okay it sucks | | Static Link |

| Posted by: todd at November 1, 2005, 10:41 pm | | Topic: Changes in Littlewood bonus?! Forum: Bonus Whores | I'd just like to remind everyone that this bonus is still OK (but not nearly as good as it used to be) if you're willing to play $2/4 and up.
I'm just trying to drum up some action at the $2/4 tables. They're often dead or almost dead. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: pokermike at November 1, 2005, 10:20 pm | | Topic: Changes in Littlewood bonus?! Forum: Bonus Whores | I played 256 dealt hands last month & got the bonus. I have just played 274 dealt hands this month & no bonus.
On the tight Cryptos 200raked hands on $1/2 limit will take anywhere between 800-1000 hands. Not worth it now | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Bled at November 1, 2005, 10:53 am | | Topic: Changes in Littlewood bonus?! Forum: Bonus Whores | They could be being inconsistent, but I still received an email where I was told I had only played 150 raked hands. And I didnt' receive a bonus in September either.
I'm thru with Littlewoods. | | Static Link |

I hope they mean "1 unit ($/£/€) in rake", not £1.00 .... I'm not ready for £2/4 yet! | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Ckyzxr at November 1, 2005, 7:54 am | | Topic: Changes in Littlewood bonus?! Forum: Bonus Whores | As of this morning, this is what I found on their website for the monthly promo:
"Every player will have £25 added to their account after they have completed their 200th raked hand.
In order for a Raked Hand to count toward releasing the bonus money, £1.00 or more in rake must be generated in the hand. *Beginning November 1, 2005, as a special feature for our smaller limit players, for each hand you participate in which generate at least 0.25 units ($/£/€), but less than 1.00 unit ($/£/€) of rake, will count as 1/4 (or one quarter) of a raked hand toward clearing your bonus."

| Posted by: Alphaunit1 at October 31, 2005, 9:42 pm | | Topic: Changes in Littlewood bonus?! Forum: Bonus Whores | IMO it basically the change from super-easy to clear bonuses on Crypto started changing when Caribbean Sun and InterPoker both decided to shift to raked hands at $1 or more. This is really just an extension of that initial change, and really isn't a great surprise.
I won't even consider trying to clear these bonuses at $1/$2 (/£1/£2), as I don't think they clear anywhere fast enough to make it worthwhile playing. | | Static Link |

I'd say it's worse than average at $1/2 and better than average above that. It's not spectacularly bad or good at any limit. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: Alphaunit1 at October 31, 2005, 8:19 pm | | Topic: Changes in Littlewood bonus?! Forum: Bonus Whores | It appears to be officially a raked bonus now, from http://www.littlewoodspoker.com/poker_content/promos/free25.html:
Quote: Every player will have £25 added to their account after they have completed their 200th raked hand.
Note:
Before the end of the month (last day at 23.59 EST) please ensure you go to the cashier "my account" page. Your raked hand information will be updated and your reward will be credited to your account and reflect in your statement.
In order for a Raked Hand to count toward releasing the bonus money, £1.00 or more in rake must be generated in the hand. *Beginning November 1, 2005, as a special feature for our smaller limit players, for each hand you participate in which generate at least 0.25 units ($/£/€), but less than 1.00 unit ($/£/€) of rake, will count as 1/4 (or one quarter) of a raked hand toward clearing your bonus.
For example every four hands you play which generate between 0.25 units and 0.99 units ($/£/€)... | | Read Entire Entry |
| Posted by: Alphaunit1 at October 31, 2005, 7:50 pm | | Topic: Changes in Littlewood bonus?! Forum: Bonus Whores | carpediem83 is right - it will not appear as a seperate line on your statement. When you login to the poker tables, Littlewoods transfers your available balance from your eCash account to the "poker room" as soon as you sit down at one table, and then allows you to divy up the balance amongst different tables as you go. It does not return anything to your eCash account until you finish play at ALL the tables. That is why you aren't allowed to access the cashier while you are on a table.
The way Littlewoods (and Pokerplex, and UKBetting, and TotalBet, and Caribbean Sun) works is simple... when you clear the requirements, the bonus is added into your balance at the poker tables, and it is transferred back en masse (with the rest of your money) to your eCash account when you finish play. You have to track your balances yourself if you want to verify the bonus... all you will see is money out and money in on your eCash account. | | Static Link |

You are wrong. There's no statement that shows the release of monthly bonus. It just magically comes into your account immediately after you play your 250th hand of the month, and you wouldn't know this unless you kept track of your balance yourself. Get your shit right before you insist on something. | | Static Link |

You should do. I did it in the last 24 hours and got it after 250 dealt. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: xxdemexx at October 28, 2005, 2:53 am | | Topic: Changes in Littlewood bonus?! Forum: Bonus Whores | I cleared my account at Littlewoods. Then busted out at the casino with the no risk bonus.
Put in £90. At 150 ($0.5/1 NL) hands I was issued a £25 bonus. - But I had lost about £50 in the process (bad run) .. however my account still registers £115 which I can withdraw.
Maybe the casino bug, combined with some complex accounting techinque have led Littlewoods to conceed that in the long run I'm going to win (at this level) and so simply discount my pokerplay...
Be nice if this continued.. | | Static Link |

RAKED.

I wouldn't read too much into this. Littlewoods have the same CS as most of the Cryptos and they are usually clueless. Could be they were confusing it with the Caribbean bonus.
Cleared my bonus on 1/2 hold 'em on the 25th. 252 hands played, no problems. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: DrStrange at October 27, 2005, 9:04 pm | | Topic: Changes in Littlewood bonus?! Forum: Bonus Whores | You do not need to guess how many hands you played or how many raked hands if you are using PokerTracker. Go to the preferences tab, select crypto, set session date for the month of october (or what ever) and then go to session notes. You will see each session you played, how many hands and how many raked hands. (plus lots more useful information, but that isn't relevant to this problem.) If you played at more than one crypto site you will need to pay attention to the dates / times you played since they all look alike in the database.

| Posted by: Bled at October 26, 2005, 9:53 am | | Topic: Changes in Littlewood bonus?! Forum: Bonus Whores | I"m glad this thread exists....
Cause it seems like I've been playing Littlewoods *forever* and still no bonus....PokerPlex cleared in a flash.
Unfortunately i've been too lazy to download the crypto counter and just try to guess-ta-mate my hands, but geezus....it seems twice as long as PokerPlex's hand requirements (which technically are larger).
Could be just me. Or my imagination, I suppose. Everything's relative. I keep thinking--okay just a short session on Littlewoods will probably throw me over --I gotta be really really close. So I play 25 or 50 hands and noooooooo ....nothing. | | Static Link |
