| Posted by: syncmaster at October 15, 2005, 2:24 pm | | Topic: The crypto sites and their bonuses. Forum: Bonus Whores | I know I had some good profits from play but I did bust at 1 table right before the 300th raked hand.. So I guess I was up about $5-$6 from gameplay and got the bonus..
As for inter/carb, I have done carb sun all at 2/4 and I am very thankful for this bonus. It helped me move up from 1/2 and get more comfortable with higher limits.. I can now do 2/4 and sometimes 3/6 without thinking twice about the money..
I still play 1/2 to clear the crypto bonuses and most other monthlys I do, But after some long 1/2 sessions I think playing some 2/4 at the end of the month would be fine..
Thanks for all the help everyone gave, see you at the tables.. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Russ99 at October 15, 2005, 9:05 am | | Topic: The crypto sites and their bonuses. Forum: Bonus Whores | Just to add my two cents and echo what someone else said about the Carribbean Sun and Interpoker bonuses...If you try to clear these bonuses at 1/2 limit or lower, you will find it takes a ridiculous amount of time to clear. You need to clear these at 2/4 limit or greater, so keep this in mind when depositing your bankroll.
I find that it takes me about 750-800 total raked hands at 2/4 to clear the $90 bonus at Interpoker, so it remains on par with most of the other sites in terms of a $10/100 hand ratio. Carribbean Sun takes me closer to 500 hands on avg. (I do not know why since they are all the same players, unless it is just a factor of the time of month I play each of them)The difference being, of course, that you will need play 2/4 instead of 1/2 or .50/1.
To echo what another player said, the tables tend to be very tight and therefore very predictable. Assuming you are playing to win and not just for the bonus, you need to do a lot of blind stealing and blind defending (esp. ag... | | Read Entire Entry |

But being up a mystery £25 means you would have had to won around $50 without noticing it, so I think you can be pretty comfortable that you received the bonus.

Forum: Bonus Whores | 1 other question, It seems its not 100% clear if littlewoods is dealt or raked.. I just finshed 250 dealt and am not sure If I got my bonus. My pokertracker is not set up yet and I didn't keep good track of my play, along with the fact I am converting ponuds to USD to play the $1/2 tables..
Should there be a code in my monthly statement for the bonuses release?
I'm pretty sure I broke around even with gameplay and my account reads 75+ pounds. Also I beleive when I transfered my Casino chips over (50 pounds) My withdrawl limit was 75.. Now its 100+ my lil winnigs. So I assume I got it with dealt only. But I would think I would get a code like the PRM 002658947ect... It showes for the casino bonuses I got.. | | Static Link |

I did carb. Sun signup not too long ago playing 2/4 limit only and cleared the bonuses quick... Either that or time just flys when your winning money.. Like you said, I had some great tables some nights... Others sucked. Other than that, I am set to move up to 5/10 (bankroll wize) but honestly I don't think I can handle the swings yet..
I Will put Carb. Sun on at the bottom of my list for now..
I am thinking a $90 bonus with anywhere between 2-3K waggering is a great monthly. Is blackjack not allowed with Inter? If not I guess its to the wizard I go.. Never tryed pontoon.
Other than this I think I got everything down.. Time to find my next group to whore.. | | Static Link |

Then you need to think outside of the box a bit. I won't say anymore.
Quote: I am still deciding if I should add carb. sun, even if I am comfirtable at the limits required..
Okay, here's the drill - at $2/$4 full ring, this is still a pain to clear. Most $2/$4 tables are tighter than hell, unless you catch them at a good moment - normal pot averages in the $12 - $15 range. Not saying it can't clear, but you have to be willing to login and give up if the tables aren't that good.
Maybe somebody who clears this at this limit can jump in and give their impressions. I'm generally clearing this at $5/$10 myself.

Seriously, get the Pokerplex one going too. It is as easy to clear as Littlewoods, and without the aggravation of the £ conversion issues. (I know you said you were going to add more, I just want to point out that one specifically as quite easy.)

You don't have to play limit there.
To play $100NL in order to get a bonus of $45 doesn't make much sense. I'm not too comfortable 4-tabling them so it would take a lot longer...
Huh? I double table $100 PLO8, about 3 hours for each bonus that's about $15/hr just for the bonuses. Not a bad rate. When only 1 table is running I'll load up a table or two from Prima or Party also...
If you don't want play $100 NL/PL at all then nevermind.
Bottom line is the only bonuses that are better are the 5x or 7x ones. Check out the bonus grid, it's very useful | | Static Link |

I just looked at the monthly T&C - http://littlewoodspoker.com/poker_content/promos/free25.html - and they have removed the $1 rake verbage, which I believe was a mistake from the beginning. I think they copied their legal verbage from another Crypto site (probably Carribbean Sun), and forget to cut that section out. It never made sense with the rest of the text. | | Static Link |

Littlewoods is also done in GBP. The Neteller fee is 1.9% over the nominal currency exchange rate available, so about $2 per $100 deposited EACH WAY. Bear in mind a few things:
1) If you have the $$$ available, and plan on doing these bonuses regularly, you are far better off leaving a "playable" balance on each of the GBP sites (UKBet, Total, Littlewoods) and withdrawing your profits periodically. Not easy for somebody on a tight budget, but definitely workable.
2) Be prepared, currency fluctuations can mean the value of your deposit changes over the days. Sometimes that is good when the pound is getting more valuable than the dollar, and sometimes its bad when the opposite occurs. For small amounts of money... | | Read Entire Entry |

1. I deposited in littlewoods casino and busted the bonus quickly but stoped at my depsoit ammount.. Then when I go to do the poker that money is in my poker account.. So I am guessing that if you depsoit in a crpyto casino, you are also depsoiting in the pokerrrom and vise versa... Assuming you activate the account on both..
2. So (in the case when a deposits needed) will I have to deposit just once to get both bonuses? On either side of the software, whichever is required..

thx!
No. Ive done two of those thus far: Carribean and Pokerplex. Carribean felt like it took kind of longish playing three 1/2 tables. Pokerplex, on the other hand, is the easiest $50 you can make. I had all but $62 tied up in cashouts on other sites, so I decided to try for the quick $50. I bought into two 1/2 games and in a couple of hours, my balance was up by $50. Quick and painless. The only pita is cashing out. You have to wait for them to snail mail a pin number for each site. Its been about a week since I signed up at Caribbean and it has yet to arrive. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: Golddigger at October 13, 2005, 6:48 am | | Topic: The crypto sites and their bonuses. Forum: Bonus Whores | I just recently started doing other cryptos than caribbean/interpoker
and the bonuses that are offered are pretty good.
Just did the williamhill 25£ for 5 table hours which is pretty nice I think.
I put together a list of the cryptosites and their bonuses.
Pokerplex 50$ 300 hands dealt
Littlewoods 25£ 250 hands dealt
Interpoker 90$ 450 raked
Caribbean 40$ 200 raked
Ritz club 25£ 5 table hours
Totalbet 25£ 5 table hours
UKbetting 25£ 5 table hours
Williamhill 25£ 5 table hours
Classicpoker has a nice signup of 100$.
Did I miss any site within the crypto network that has a
signup/monthly bonus?
I know betfair is in the network but did not find any bonus at them.
Any reason for not doing all of these montly bonuses every month? | | Static Link |
