That's how I read it too. Well, they do say:
Quote: Your first payment is made when you play your FIRST RAKED HAND
So it's a $5 freeroll .
As for the chip dumping. I've never played here but don't most places give you more play money if you bust out? If so, you'd only need one other person to help you max your bonus and then theirs. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: crimzonkid at June 17, 2005, 12:33 pm | | Topic: Bizarre TruePoker promotion Forum: Bonus Whores | | looked at the site, I didn't read where you had to be a new play money player. I did read where you couldn't already have a real money account. Looks like it is just another type of sign up bonus. But more like pacific, where they give you the money up front. I may be wrong, but that is how i read it. | | Static Link |

Dump half your play money chips to CHRISTOPHER.

too many hands spent at the play money tables make this more than 10x | | Static Link |

Basically they'll buy your play money chips from you for a nickel apiece, up to $250, as long as you've never opened a real money account. Then you have to play it off at $5 per 50 raked hands (10x). You'd need 5000 play chips to maximize this.
Every new account has 1000 play chips in it, so that's worth $50 without doing anything.
I don't like the 10x, but I DO like that this is a total freeroll.
My angle on this is that people who already have a real money account can chip dump at the play money tables to those of us who want to take advantage of this, so as to max out the 5000, and then maybe work out some kind of deal as far as splitting the profit.
Whatever the case, we better get our asses in gear though, because the cash-in opportunity expires on the 20th. At that point you have until August 15th to play off whatever bonus you get. | | Static Link |
