Forum: Bonus Whores | | the only way i knew it could withdrawl was by calling them. they said that calling them was the safest way to be sure, too. its hard to tell by looking at the site since it puts the money into your ecash account as soon as you start playing. so to be safe, call them and ask them. | | Static Link |

I think this happens immediately after you sit on a poker table. Anyway, I withdrew after I had enough points since I didn't want to risk it. In hind sight, it might be a good idea to try since they are supposed to email you before they process the withdrawl if you are going to lose your bonus. Also, they have redeposit bonus on echeck deposits anyway.

so if i deposit 1k and get a $100 bonus, i can either fullfill the bonus requirements through earning 600 poker points OR i can just wager [(1k+100)*3] $3300 in the poker rooms?? - i assume the latter would be fairly easy to do at the higher stakes tables | | Static Link |

Forum: Bonus Whores | | It says that you have to have points to clear the poker bonus. I never had the proper amount of points, but I went all in a bunch and once I hit the wagering requirement (from the casino/sportsbook part) I was allowed to withdraw. Keep in mind that I only played poker there. I never played the casino or sportsbook. I took the money and got out. Haven't been back. I got too many gray hairs playing there. | | Static Link |

But the vig makes it a null bonus. The point of poker is we have the advantage with the bonus. But the fact that it is raked hands makes it prima-like.

I've been playing 3-6 and 5-10 for last week and a half and cleared about 600 points, so it definately is lot slower than prima because of lack of an ongoing studs games. It'd be great if Bodog had a rakeback since I think I am paying lot more rake compared to what I'd make back in bonuses.

They'll send you a message that your bonus is going to be forfeit since you didn't finish and that you have 24 hours to notify them if you want to continue with the payout. The bonus isn't too hard at all honestly, I never realized it was contributed rake since it cleared quite quickly.

This is really an odd situation. I thought about doing a huge deposit since the bonus is limitless. If it came off in 1/6 the time it would be an incredible deal.

| Posted by: whackadoo at November 9, 2004, 7:08 am | | Topic: Contributed raked hands at bodog or just raked hands? Forum: Bonus Whores | | yep you have to contribute to the pot. Some guys talk about getting points to clear the bonus but I had to wager the deposit and bonus X number of times and I got to cashout. I wasn't even near the 300 points that others say I needed to clear the bonus. I have less than 100 points, but did meet the requirements. | | Static Link |
