Said precisely the same to me as well ... I'm only 60 points off my sign-up bonus and am clearing around 150 points per day so it came as a bit of a surprise.
Will be e-mailling them back tonight to try and get it released | | Static Link |

"I spent well over 35 minutes with CS on live support last night ..."
I had a similar experience when I called CS 2 days ago, but I think it's totally luck of the draw, depending on who you speak with. I signed up with BW200 through BW link, got the $200 signup bonus, but when I called in to ask for IAF, I was asked to have my friend send an email to confirm as well. When I asked for the reload bonus, they told me to call back when I finish the other bonuses first "since it would be to my advantage to have more time to clear them".
When my other friend (who I referred) signed up the same way and called in to ask for IAF & reload, they credited the bonuses right away, after I sent an email to confirm that I referred him.
Oh well, at least they noted it down in my file, so the next agent will hopefully manually credit the bonuses when I clear them. | | Static Link |

Dude we get it. You disapprove of how some people behaved. Youve posted similar messages in three different threads now . . . no need to keep hammering away at it.
I just hope that's a universal feeling.

You never know. BW has a very good relationship with Hollywood Poker as evidenced by all the special and exclusive deals we have had since they have been added to the site. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: rabiddog99 at June 21, 2006, 2:37 pm | | Topic: BW Hollywood Reload - expiration? Forum: Bonus Whores | Server's having problems. I can barely get signed on and then when I did deposit it doesnt show in transactions but does show in the real money slot. Bonus didnt take though and when I contacted support they just told me to check back later. Then he said he could manually input the reload code. I told him I was trying to get the sign up bonus. He said check back later. Neteller shows the money was transfered to Hollywood though, so it should be there. I just hate to deposit another $200 for the reload before the sign up bonus has been given. They may not look at it as 2 bonuses if I do.
I will keep checking back. Just went there and still not working well. | | Static Link |

Do the reload - you have a few hours left to deposit - go to deposit page and open chat with live CS and tell them you want to use the reload code.

Contact CS and they will stack it for you. I opened my account on Friday and Customer Service stacked four bonuses for me - the IAF, the $200 deposit, the $50 June Reload, and the $200 BW reload. | | Static Link |

Ditto. Nice bonus, and I am impressed with Hollywood Poker.
If we could just do something about those ugly-ass tables. My eyes are about to bleed, and this is coming from someone who considers Absolute Poker his home site.

| Posted by: mike_m235 at June 19, 2006, 4:34 pm | | Topic: BW Hollywood Reload - expiration? Forum: Bonus Whores | What's your bankroll like? Because I've played about 15000 hands at PR in the last month...and the NL100s are absolutely no harder than the NL50s. In most cases VPIP at NL100 has been higher. SO if your bankroll supports it, I highly recommend chasing this one down at NL100. It clears very fast that way. 10 hours of 4 tabling will get it done.
Obviously if you can't support the possible swings in bankroll, this isn't a good plan.

I played $50NL and cleared 1000 points in about 4 days mostly 4-tabling, sometimes 3-tabling. It was a grind though and I'll be away from a computer for about 3 weeks over the course of the next month. That's primarily why I wanted a 60-day deal.
I sure could do less than the max., but I hate to leave $ on the table like that. | | Static Link |
