wagering requirements at interpoker

[dink]

I know many people sent emails,

but has anyone been able to get their past play through requirements reduced at intercasino poker?

In other words is it worth me emailing them or do I just have to play a load of hands there?

You have to play 5x raked hands of poker to clear your bonus. Thats 450 hands for the $90 bonus. But IP does it on raked hands only now, so it may take 550-600 hands to clear it if the games you play are not very loose.

Old casino bonuses also clear at 5x raked hands (or take remaining casino wagering requirement and divide by $5 to get hands requirement).

[dink]

I don't mean to be rude

but my question was about those people who emailed ICP and asked for their earlier wagering requirements to be reduced. I was wondering if any of them had success.

I know about the new wagering requirements, by reading all the earlier threads

I didn't realize this was an angle-shooters thread, for those who want to get out of the simple bonus clearing requirements attached to the generous bonuses offered by IP for a long time.

Be a mensch and work off your bonus honestly within the clearing requirements.

How is this dishonest?

they changed the terms

and I do recall that they said in emails, just after getting your $50 for 300 hands bonus.

"you can recieve a bonus like this every month at Inter casino poker"

why don't you just say to everybody.

Be a mensch and don't get a bonus, be honest and make your money by playing poker.

sounds about the same to me

Dink

you also need to read messages properly

The current bonus is the same bonus they have always offered (the casino bonus). They added a way to clear it (poker) but you can still clear it in the casino. Same bonus, better terms for players (2 clearing options).

Their terms have always stated that the bonus could change or be ended at their discretion.

There is a difference between taking advantage of a freely offered bonus that a site has, and trying to get the site to give you a special arrangement to get your bonus without even following the terms of the site's freely offered bonus offer.

I've got to agree with El Barto here. We all want bonuses, but why is everybody so greedy about them? They offer a nice deal at Intercasino - I played off my bonus with 1220 hands, clearing the old ones also. Why not do that instead of crying that its not fair anymore. Fair? It's a freebie, their freebie. Play the hands off and move on.

Maybe I am missing something in this thread, but what I think the original poster is talking about players who have lost a few months worth of their casino bonus, and now to get their 90$ bonus this month they need to clear 450 hands for each month prior that they have lost.

I think Intercasino should be able to do it however they want, but it is a little irritating. I had to play 600 hands this month, and still did not get my bonus, so I cashed out and wagered around 3k in the casino before it cleared.

I don't know what you are missing, I stated it took me 1220 hands to clear my old bonuses ................

I never cried it was not fair....

I was just asking for some friendly advice / feedback

ie has anyone been successful in getting the WR reduced?

If I can't get them reduced, fine, i will just play all the hands I need to release it. I may not even worry about interpoker anymore, what with all the other bonuses going around (crypto and non crypto).

Playing that many hands takes up time, it may not be worth my time to play that many hands, when there are other bonus possibilities.

stay cool folks

Is it my imagination or is IP very tight this past week? I logged in yesterday and all the 10 seat 1/2 tables had $9 pot averages. And they played tight too.

Too many whores playing thousands of hands this month /images/graemlins/frown.gif

dink may be right to stay away from them.

[Malificent]

Yeah, playing that many hands to clear old bonuses sucks, but on the other hand, you definitely would like to be able to take advantage of this bonus every month, so I sort of think of it as an investment in future bonus whoring.

[Thythe]

When were you playing? Typically the whores will be out in the US evenings. I strongly suggest playing UK evenings which would be something like 3-9PM EST. This is when the worst players are out.

I emailed Ryan and was very dissapointed with his response, the level of customer service on his end was pretty low in my opinion. Couldn't he have someone figure it out for me? Isn't that their job for gods sakes?

Hi,

The best thing to do would be to call Playershelp on the numbers below. They
may be able to help you out with this.

I have that same question. When I first started I deposited $80 and lost the $80 casino match in 2 bets. So I think I still have that old WR to clear before I start getting the bonus. But I have no idea how much of that old WR I have left to clear.
