Looks like it is for everyone.

Open up your account and there should be a pop-up.

20% to $100. 7x Raked.

So if you have the "gift hamper" (shirt, hat) still outstanding, will these clear concurrently or what?


ps - the offer expires August 3rd.

do you guys know if it's OK on Party to cash out tonight and redeposit on Monday to get the bonus?

I'm pretty sure you can. I basically did that for the Empire $100 bonus this week.

I didn't get the hat offer, but is it one where on the bonus page it says how many hands are left? If it is, then I would say you have to clear that one, then clear the next one. That would be like when people got the free $50 in their accounts and a reload code. They first had to play 300 hands for the $50, then 1000 hands for the $100.

The Gift Hamper is not on the bonus page, instead it is on a different page ("Account information" or something - they provide a link). This is actually why I asked the question - because it does seem to be handled differently.

I made the deposit and received the bonus.

Note that, according to the follow up email, with this bonus you have to play 700 hands (7x bonus amount) by Aug 6th. Normally these are a month long. This bonus must be played in week. Not hard for most but thought I should point it out.

Nice catch, they give you only 7 days. If you wait until 8/3 to deposit, your deadline would be on 8/10 - so plan based on your needs.

As long as you wait for the funds to actually hit your Neteller account, you can make ar deposit for the bonus right away. You have to wait 8 hours after deposit to request a withdrawal.

I'm new to bonus clearing, and since this is 7x the bonus amount and not a specified number of hands, how many hands (roughly) would you have to play on .5/1.00 to clear? 1/2?

LeapingGnome
07-30-2004, 10:46 AM
I'm pretty sure the 7x is the bonus amount times the number of raked hands you play. So if you go for the $100, you have to play in 700 raked hands for it to clear. At least that's the way it is usually at Party.

For a $100 bonus, you need to play 700 raked hands. At .5/1 I think 80%+ hands are raked, so 850 total hands would likely cover it.

Click on "Bonus Account" on the cashier page to find out how many raked hands you have played so far.

djcolts

From my (limited) experience - about 55% to 65% of .5/1 hands are raked at Party/Empire.

This is about right for me too. It usually takes me around 1100 hands to clear these bonuses.

I didn't get a popup, but the code is right there on the Party software when it pops up for me.

Because I'm basically retarded....

walk me through this.

I have not deposited yet for either the Empire or Party Bonus (waiting on other cashouts to hit Netteller)

But the way I understand this -

I can deposit into Party - Play 0 hands, and withdraw and have $100 in my bonus pending account - cashing out doesn't take away my bonus pending

Turn around take my cashout and deposit into Empire and collect their bonus.

Basically Can i cashout my wad before collecting the bonus?

Empire is my main site. I play there all the time. The bonus worked for me. Obviously it is not my first deposit into Empire.

It simply means your first deposit during this period.

Empire - the last day to deposit is 8/31 Saturday. You get 30 days, 500 hands for $100

Party - the last day to deposit is 8/3 Tuesday. You get 7 days, 700 hands for $100

Yes you can cash out before clearing bonus on both - but note the 7 days only for Party.

If you are time pressed, consider depositing to Empire first, and clearing Party first.

And it is for everyone. Nothing like getting home from Work (and golf) to a 20% bonus. Ahhh life is good on a friday.

The 20% Deposit Bonus will ONLY be applied on your first deposit made between July 30th and 23:59 hrs ET August 3rd, 2004. You must use the bonus code "ASB" on the Deposit Screen where you enter the amount of the deposit

For those of you who have misread this does not mean your first ever deposit it just means that if you do more than one deposit between July 30th and Aug 3rd the deposti will only aply to the first one.

With the $500 Bonanza thing they gave me earlier today that makes 600 free dollars from Party in one day for me!

I have no idea what it is. About 2pm Friday Party put $500 in my account. I checked the deposit history and it said it was for "Winner of 50K Bonanza"

I asked in another thread if anyone knew what this meant but got no response. I asked at one table I was at and someone thought it was from that random Lucy Jones bonanza thing where they secretly put money in your account but you have to play a raked game that day to claim it. Seeing as I pretty much play every day I couldn't miss.

Anyhow $600 in one day is pretty sweet for bonuses.
