I am pretty sure the answer is zero...casinos don't count.
Absolute changed and it is a ghost town now. TPPC is also a ghost town (well once all the people get smart and if they play at GP/skins then they aren't too smart.)
Yea i am still pissed about my 9th place finish at Intertops just now. Had the best hand three times and lost each time. Fucking rivers tore me up. Shit. | | Static Link |

I thought the same thing when Littlewoods stoped their bonus but i'm still waiting for them to bring that back. | | Static Link |

Forum: Bonus Whores | It's not unwhorable, but the fact that the hand req. doubled from one month to the next and there are so many other bonuses going on, I am going to stay away from this one. Like someone else mentioned, if we pass this up a couple of times, maybe they bring it back down.

Hardly, 40$ for 500 played (they don't have to be raked, no matter what their conditions say) is still 8x to 9x raked, which is better then the current paradise reload, absolute reloads, you name it. So well worth whoring. | | Static Link |

Ok, thanks. Did they say it was b/c of your wife's account? I'll give it a try this month and she also has a rollover from last month so we'll see how that goes.[/code]

Great. How did they reject your bonus? Did it not show up on deposit or did they reject payout. I would hate to play 1000 hands and have hem reject payout.

January was the 1st month I could not get a bonus. With Carib doubling their hands played it looks to me that to many people are playign the minimun number of hands.

I hope that you will still join us this month for a few hands and seeing

If we do change anything with our promotion we will be sure to let

Why bother...with the stocked up Paradise and PStars bonuses of late, as well as they never ending supply of Absolute bonuses...I don't see myself ever playing at Carib Sun again. Absolute is definately more fishy on a more consistent basis than the Crypto full ring games have become in the past few months.

Still trying to figure out if it's worth doing or not. After all it's $40 for 500 played and if you're playing anyway, one could as well take the additional cash.

Quote: I have just started playing in February to clear the 250 bonus hands as mentioned below in an e-mail that was sent only yesterday.
I happened to look at you bonus page on your web site which now states that 500 hands have to be played.
Can you confirm which one is correct?
If it has changed to 500 I think an e-mail informing players of the change prior to the start of the month should have been sent out. This can only lead to a lot of angry people who will expect a bonus that they will not receive.
I look forward to hearing from you.
This is the reply I have just recieved.
Quote: Thank you for taking the time to contact us
and I apologize for the late reply.
Yes, the requirements for the $40 bonus has
been changed. You would in fact have to play
500 raked hands in order to be credited.

That would make some sense...considering they dumped the casino bonus. I kinda had expected them to do something like Interpoker/casino did, and combine the bonuses. If not, oh well, two less poker bonuses I feel obligated to clear each month. My time would be better served at Absolute.
