Odd. I withdrew around 2am Saturday evening/early Sunday morning, and it hit my Neteller around 3pm yesterday.

| Posted by: IceNine at February 5, 2005, 6:06 pm | | Topic: Empire/Paradise Whore Logistics Forum: Bonus Whores | Paradise cashouts have been lightning fast ever since sportsbook.com took over. they now take 2-3 HOURS, and are competitive with the speeds of empire and party, so i wouldn't worry about the order in which you do the deposits.
you do have to wait 4 hours between the deposit and the cashout request, however. | | Static Link |

Sorry if this is a bit off-topic here, I just picked up on a detail in one of the posts, since I am myself thinking about joining Empire for the first time a.s.a.p (as soon as I manage to create a damn user, but that is in another thread).
From what I saw on the Empire site, I think it said it was valid "only for the first deposit made during the period" (Feb 3-Feb 8 or whatever)...
To me it sounded like it would be impossible to combine with a signup/first deposit bonus for those of us who are new. Anyone know about this for a fact? | | Static Link |
| Posted by: RandyG67 at February 4, 2005, 2:23 pm | | Topic: Empire/Paradise Whore Logistics Forum: Bonus Whores | Think I'll play it safe and deposit to Empire first and then to Paradise. Good idea given the money I have to work with.
Thanks for helping,
Randy
Say "hey" if you see me at the 1/2 limt tables this week (or any other time!) at either site. I'm RaGu67 at Empire and RandyG67 everwhere else. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: jacobsta at February 4, 2005, 1:29 pm | | Topic: Empire/Paradise Whore Logistics Forum: Bonus Whores | | If you cashed out Friday morning at 4AM i would expect that it would be cashed out before the end of the day on Friday. If they don't get to it today though it wouldn't suprise me if it didn't show up till monday. One thing I did notice when trying to figure out how to move my money around most effectively was that pokerroom and paradise both pickup the Instacash fees from neteller, so that might be one way to get your account funded in time. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: noidroid at February 4, 2005, 11:58 am | | Topic: Empire/Paradise Whore Logistics Forum: Bonus Whores | [UPDATE]
yeah, my first PR experience last night was.. interesting
I get my account and charge in head first, starting up 4 "$.5/$1" NL tables. I miss a couple of blinds before I figure out the Sit In/Out idiocy. The graphics are really fucking me up, I start slowing the games down because it's taking me a while to figure out exactly what's going on each hand. About ten minutes into it I start to get the hang of it, and then I finally realize that this is not actually $.5/$1 NL(ie SB = $.25, BB = $.50, $1 min. bet on 4th and 5th street) the way it is in party. I still don't understand why they classify their games that way, must be a british thing.
So I close all my tables, and check my player points. I scored a whopping 3.5 points in those 15 minutes and lost about $20 cause I didnt realize how much money I was calling when I clicked the button once. So I regroup and play 3 "$1/$2" NL tables for about two more hours. The players were pretty terrible so I have a g... | | Read Entire Entry |
| Posted by: jacobsta at February 4, 2005, 9:49 am | | Topic: Empire/Paradise Whore Logistics Forum: Bonus Whores | | Good luck noid, I hope it works for you - I have played ALOT at Pokerroom though, and everytime I cashed out on a weekend it didn't clear until monday morning. During the week it has always been faster than 24hrs though, as deez said. Pokerroom clears .5 pts for every $10 pot, 1pt for every $20pot. NL $.50/$1 is NL $100 at pokerroom. I don't know that there are ever four tables of full ring at that limit (there are at NL $200 tho) - but there are plently of 5 player shorthanded tables. I would imagine you would clear something like 100pts/hr 4 tabling shorthanded NL$100, maybe a bit more- of the 3 bonuses this weekend the pokerroom bonus is the slowest to clear at NL unless you play high enough to have an average pot of $20 or more (Empire = 7x any raked pots, Paradise = 10x $10 raked pots, Pokerroom = 7x $20 raked pots or 14x $10 raked pots) | | Static Link |

Honestly, everything you outlined should work out fine. Pokerroom rarely takes more than 24 hours, and the bonuses have a long expiration date. Paradise, same deal, longest cashout I've had from them is probably 36 hours, so you have more than enough time to get your money back in Neteller, and deposit at Empire by Tuesday evening.
The Empire/Party network has really outdone themselves lately, you can deposit and claim a bonus, immediately cashout, and your money is back in Neteller within 3 hours probably 80% of the time or better. They're making it easy on us whores.

I just started reading this site, and have about $750 in neteller.
This is my plan to whore myself out for the next few days to the fullest extent possible:
I am about to join pokerroom through this site to get the $200 signup bonus, I plan to play for about 4 or 5 hours tonight. I four-table $.5/$1 NL, that's what I feel most comfortable with for now. I have no idea how long it will take to clear 1400 pts on that site, but I will presumably cash out at the end of the session tonight with a number of points yet needed.
I guess the money will become availible sometime in the middle of the night on friday. I'll wake up early on saturday and reload at pokerroom for what ever I end up with at the end of tonight, which should be somewhere between 600 and 1000. From what I understand, the superbowl bonus will stack. I will play 4 or 5 hours saturday morning to finish the remainder of my 1400 pts needed for the signup bonus. I will then try to cas... | | Read Entire Entry |
| Posted by: elric at February 3, 2005, 10:55 pm | | Topic: Empire/Paradise Whore Logistics Forum: Bonus Whores | The problem with the average two days for cashouts is the relatively new policy where you have to wait 24-48 hours after depositing to initiate a withdraw. So if they take two days you are hosed.
The ideal scenario is to have $1100-$1200. Lets say you have $1200 and want to wait till the last minute to lengthen your Empire clearing time. I would then deposit $600 to Empire at around 11pm Saturday night Cashout $400 sixty seconds after you deposit. Go to bed. Wake up and deposit the $1000 to your Paradise account. That leaves you $200 to clear the $150 Empire bonus while you wait to get the bulk of your Bankroll back from Paradise. Max bonus everywhere.
Good times! | | Static Link |
| Posted by: RandyG67 at February 3, 2005, 5:46 pm | | Topic: Empire/Paradise Whore Logistics Forum: Bonus Whores | | Good advice guys. Even though Paradise cashout may be slow (and takes two, or let's say three days); I could deposit on Saturday and easily have the money back out before the 8th, the last day to make the Empire deposit. Right? | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Viscant at February 3, 2005, 1:46 pm | | Topic: Empire/Paradise Whore Logistics Forum: Bonus Whores | | The Poker Room reload could be worth up to $200 to you if the right team wins so that might influence your thinking. Right now my plan of action is to make the deposit at Poker Room and withdraw immediately, then deposit that into Paradise. If you still haven't got to Empire yet that might influence your thinking but the sheer amount of the Poker Room bonus might affect your plans. | | Static Link |

If you only have $1000 in Neteller, I would do this in reverse. Deposit $600 to Empire, withdraw all $600, and then deposit $1000 to Paradise. I have been able to deposit to Party skins and immediately wihdraw. You will need to get your money out of Paradise quickly because you will only have 7 days for the 1050 raked hands at Empire. My experience is the same as many others, Paradise withdrawals are usually around two days wait. Better to maximize your potential bonus than wait around for the Paradise withdrawal to hit before the 2/8 deadline at Empire. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: AJ at February 3, 2005, 1:13 pm | | Topic: Empire/Paradise Whore Logistics Forum: Bonus Whores | Well, that's not what I want to hear (re: slow Paradise cash outs). I used to play there all the time and there's no way I recall their cashouts being that slow. I'll have to go check out pokerlistings.com's review.
But I'm going to be out of town for the weekend, so the last thing I want to do is to first start the clock ticking at Empire (where I will only have 7 days) and then deposit at Paradise. For much of the first 7 days, I would be out of town! I need to wait to start the clock, near the end, like Feb. 7th or 8th. I guess I'll just risk that and if all else fails...there's the credit card. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: jacobsta at February 3, 2005, 10:56 am | | Topic: Empire/Paradise Whore Logistics Forum: Bonus Whores | | Note that on twoplustwo they aren't recommending this as apparently Paradise cashouts are normally 2 BUSINESS day, and they are also apparently slower during a bonus- so you wouldn't be guaranteed to get the money in time for the empire bonus. I'm having the same problem, I am going to withdraw all but $200 from empire since I KNOW their cashouts are fast and then deposit what I have left at paradise. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: RandyG67 at February 3, 2005, 9:20 am | | Topic: Empire/Paradise Whore Logistics Forum: Bonus Whores | Trying to make sure my plan of attack for these two current bonuses is correct.......
I've got $1000 in Neteller, $250 at UB and about another $600 tied up in new Crypto accounts (still waiting for PINs to arrive).
If I've understood correctly, I can deposit for these two current bonuses by:
1) deposit $1000 at Paradise
2) withdraw at least $600 from Paradise and use $600 to deposit at Empire
This makes me eleigible for the max. bonus at each site and fulfills all deposit conditions? Seems to me that it does, but the more I think about it I start confusing myself and second guessing. Don't want to screw up a good reload!
If I'm way off here, let me know how to get 'er done knowing what money is available to me.
Much Thanks,
Randy | | Static Link |
