| Posted by: PokerBonusWhore at June 12, 2006, 4:03 pm | | Topic: Betfred Forum: Bonus Whores | I started this bonus last Thursday and finished Saturday night. There was usually between 3,000 and 4,500 players online. I mostly played 4 .25/.5 NL full ring tables and this was not a problem, there was anywhere from 5-8 tables going (i only saw 8 going during peak times on Saturday). I am usually very hesitant about going to a new site I am not familiar with but I was very pleasantly surprised at the ease and quality of this bonus!

I don't mind playing at 50NL, I do mind the paucity of tables to select from at the iPoker sites sometimes.

How many average players online at a time?
I went to the site last night to check it out, looks pretty lame.
So people have successfully cleared this bonus no problem, and didn't have problems finding games? (3-4 simultaneous tbls?)
This looks like an iPoker site (Noble, Titan, CD etc.). Is that right? If so, then they'll have -- what? -- 4 or 5 full no limit tables? iPoker seems to be such a grind at times.
BTW, people were raving about this site on 2+2 so I may check it out.

The 250 welcome bonus for 2500 raked hands is a very nice one. It's the one in this quote that I dont think is that great. But the welcome bonus is.
I've played $1500 raked hands so far and have accumulated about 2500 BetFred Points. That means the $10/500 bonus would have paid $30 where the $250/2500 bonus has earned $150. That's a pretty substantial difference. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: Nicorette87 at June 10, 2006, 11:37 am | | Topic: Betfred Forum: Bonus Whores | | Its a grind at limit poker tho...0.5-1$ rake starts at 5$ and play is very tight...1-2$ rake starts at 5$ also play is also very tight...2-4$ rake starts at 10$ play is acutally looser. All for full-ring by the way | | Static Link |
| Posted by: PokerBonusWhore at June 10, 2006, 8:21 am | | Topic: Betfred Forum: Bonus Whores | I can't believe this bonus isn't raved about. This has to be one of the best out there. I know it is 10x but with a raked hand percentage of 80%+ it goes much quicker. I am playing .25/.5 NL full ring and being a $1 pot counts as raked hand, anytime there is a flop it counts. It's great and a $250 bonus to boot........I LOVE BETFRED.......

Rake Taken Per Hand Points granted
$0.25 - $1.00 3
$1.01 - $1.50 5
$1.51 - $2.00 6
$2.01 - $3.00 8
$3.01 - $5.00 10
If you are playing micro limits, then this is a horrible bonus... ~16.7x. Gets better as you move up into higher limits.
I got around 4000 betfred points clearing the 250 bonus for 2500 raked hands at 50nl 6max. So going by that, your talking roughly 4 times that to clear the 300 bonus or around 10,000 raked hands if playing 50nl. This is just a guesstamate (sp). It would be a grind for me. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: PokerBonusWhore at June 7, 2006, 7:26 pm | | Topic: Betfred Forum: Bonus Whores | Just signed up and deposited for the $250 signup bonus tonight (2500 raked hands). I have been playing .25/.50 NL. $1 pot = a raked hand, meaning if there is a flop (there would be at least $1 in the pot) it counts as a raked hand. Other observations:
1. Play is bad, made some good money already
2. I just 2 tabled for a while to get used to the software, 277 dealt and 201 raked (73%)
3. Live chat is awesome. I asked what the max tables you can play is as I thought I read on here it was only 3. Guy said 3 is recommended but you can play as many as you want but to beware that the more you play it is easier for the PC to crash. He told me he plays 10 at a time but has a powerful PC. He also gave me the raked hand count quickly.
4. Play seems somewhat slow, players do not act very quick.
Overall this site seems great to whore and I can't believe I am just getting to it now.

I agree wholeheartedly. I made this deposit last month and play it whenever I have downtime between other bonuses. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: SlapDash at June 5, 2006, 8:57 am | | Topic: Betfred Forum: Bonus Whores | But it's 250 bucks instead of a text book 100 Party reload. So at least that's better...

Sorry to be pedantic, but it's better than a Party reload. Party only counts $.10 raked hands these days.
Since when? I did the party iGM-Pay bonus last week and it was counting .05 raked hands. | | Static Link |

It is non-contributed rake - i.e. if the pot is raked you get credited with a raked hand if you got dealt cards even if you didn't bet.
There is no time limit - so deposit the full amount (you can withdraw before finishing the bonus if necessary without penalty) | | Static Link |

It's all pretty self-explanatory, don't think there's much more to be added - multiply the amount you deposit by ten and that's the amount of raked hands you need to play. Pretty sure this is an all-or-nothing bonus, so only deposit for the full amount if you're sure you can play all 2500 raked hands at the required stakes. If you haven't already, use the search function at the top of the page to find more information on any bonus you're interested in as all your questions have almost certainly been asked and answered in previous threads.

BetFred Poker sports a 100% Sign-Up bonus up to $250. Play 10 times the bonus on raked hands (where you just get dealt cards), and email BetFred Poker and the bonus will be deposited to your account within 48 hours. Only raked hands played at blinds of $0.25/$0.50 and above for pot limit / no limit, or stakes of $0.50/$1 or above for fixed limit will count towards clearing the bonus. Your bonus clearance progress can be monitored through the cashier in the poker software.
does that mean that i have to play 2500 raked hands before i get the bonous?
any help translating what it all means i would be greatful. thanks | | Static Link |
