+7...me too started working on my bonus as of this morning...thanks for the HU Kron..good luck to all in the surprise 2day, it's gonna be a war HUH?
Nah. Like Coach said, if you are dealt cards, you get points.
got mine!!
Got it!
Ya the bonuses are action generators. I'm going to stick to my $12 turbos until I reach a hundred buy-ins for the $24 level. I think a lot of people take their ironman status and bonus clearing too far past their bankroll requirements. Its better to play your normal game and take whatever you happen to clear in the 10 days.
Don't even get me started on the ironman system.
Booo. I didn't realize that I would've gotten as far as 20% if I'd remembered to activate it before playing tonight.
updatez:
i've unlocked 15.00 of my bonus.
my roll's down about 40.
but if i full-stack again into 0.50/1.00 plo/8, that's almost 1/2 my roll.
should i stick to 1-2 stud instead and risk exaustion?
[yeah, risky, i know... how else am i gonna unlock this in 10 days?]
LostOstrich, with that many points and not much more than 1 day/week off there's a good chance you've more than just bronze. It all depends on how evenly your play is spread throughout the month though. Personally I'll almost always have more than 5 days/month where I don't play at all and at least a few days where I play very little.
kronx thanks for the heads up. never would have seen it otherwise.
I hear ya MM. I'm exactly the kind of player that the Iron Man secludes. I don't get to play a lot during the week, so I'm more of a weekend warrior that plays in the mornings when I get up and have free time. I've never, ever, qualified for the Iron Man, yet I earned 600 FTPs yesterday. Grrr....
[I got a $200 bonus - but I don't understand how to use or retrieve it - can you hel?
Wanna help clear my bonus?
Thanks, Kronx, for catching and posting this. Like others I probably would have missed it.
I've released $22.50 and I'm up about $35 total, which isn't much to a lot of you, but is pretty nice for my bankroll. Hooray for me!
Sweet. I'm nowhere near clearing the bonus yet, but at least I've also run hot so far this month.
Do you have to clear the whole thing or can you get it in parts?
+1 I would think also if you played fairly evenly each day you
should qualify higher. These new promos have put me up to Gold
the last 2 months. I try to play as evenly as possible, and try
and avoid those big dips in BR...
I actually think over the last 2 months my BR has increased 10-15%
I am happy with that....
Good Luck to all clearing your Bonuses.......
Screw you guys. i paid $1200 in rake in the last 3 months and nothing. ridiculous.
Bonuses pay out in 10% increments up to a maximum of $20. If you have a $75 bonus, $7.50 at a time. $50 bonus, $5 at a time, etc.
You earn 1 point for every dollar in rake that is dropped on real money tables at which you sit and were dealt cards. Up to 3 pts. per hand. You earn 7 pts. for every $1 in entry fees. Each pt. is worth $.06. so it would take apprx. 16.67 FTPs to earn $1 of bonus.
If you wish to check your progress, click on the Cashier button. Then click on the link on the left side titled Bonus Account. A screen will pop up showing the amount of the bonus, bonus earned, what your releases are and the length of time you have to clear the bonus.
If you accept the offer you will have 10 days from the date of acceptance to earn enough Points to release part or all of your bonus. As it will be released in 10% increments, you would have to earn 125 pts to clear a payment of $7.50. At the end of ten day period any money left uncleared won't paid to you.
Hope this helps, good luck.
Yeah, that's pretty much it.
I didnt get any :$ Maybe I should play more then
10 days to clear, and you have to accept it within 4 days? what a terrible bonus
cool thanks for the heads up.
I've wondered about how you accumulate FT points. (I think the info on the FTP website is confusing.) So you receive points for every $ in rake, regardless of whether you're involved in the hand? In other words, you get cards, you get points.
just remember that its not really free unless you are winning at the same time. Gl to all at the tables.
That it focuses on how evenly you spread out your playing throughout the month rather than how much you actually play. For two months in a row the points I've accumulated have been well above the minimum for gold, and maybe even iron. Despite this I've barely made bronze both of those months. That's annoying.
Sorry, i mean kron,lol
I have a $75 one also.
it's really strange that i found that as well today. i meant to click 'registered in tournaments' and that pleasant surprise came up.
+1
nice, i got me $75 also.
Yeah - it would be a hard slog to get this....is it pro rata'd like the Ironman bonus was (Can't believe I missed out on all of it bar like $2 ) or is it just all or nothing?
I won't be playing anymore in an attempt to get it seeing as how I can win more than if I double up on 1 hand in any case.
Me 10
and FYP
It is a playing bonus.
Thanks KronX, gonna start working on mine now!
Well, totally ignoring what you just said, what's the problem with iron man Riddim??
Yeah you'll make more money per penny of rake from the bonus than you will from RB and you'll still get some RB also.
How do i use the bonus? I got a bonus and im not sure how to use it when i play!
me too!!!
Thanks KronX for the heads-up.
Hey I got it as well...awesome! Thanks for the heads up!!!!
Thanks got it too. 10 days is kinda short for my volume of play but free moniez is always good!
Yes you do.... As long as you get dealt 2 cards you get rake.....
[brag] Bonus cleared, PokerOffice says I'm 1k up for February so far playing 100NL, and 5/5 days @ 200pt ironman level I play too much .[/brag]
Requests > Check My Bonus Offer
hits another Home Run......
Thanks K 4 the heads up also.....
It's released 10% at a time.
It was hard enough to get the one-a-day for January as I play rather low stakes games. Just as well I didn't get the offer.
I thought you had to be involved in the hand in some way, i.e. even if you fold but posted a SB. I was under the impression that if I fold UTG and a big pot arises, I don't get credit for that...
First of all I recieved the bonus. Second of all I have no clue what they mean by ten days to clear it. Does that mean in 10 days they'll give me the 75 dollars, or do I have to depost 75 dollars in order to recieve the bonus????????? plz help
auctally i have not been playing much online latley manily live a litte on another site havent played here in a month to speak on mabye a little and got 100$ bonus but im too busy to mess with it right now oh well.
I meant I might as well go for ironman level this month at 200/day. Good news is I've unlocked $22.5 of bonus, bad news is I'm ~ -$200 in cash games so far.
