Cause the $580 UB Dollars I still have from the SnG promotion just aren't enough....

But thanks I'll do it anyway and add another 3 months to bonus clearing time.

For those of us who don't play SNGs routinely (as so didn't take down that SNG bonus offer), it has been a long wait for another reload bonus (not that I've run out of bonus dollars yet). /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

At UB is there a time limit on when the bonus has to be earned by ??

Or can you just leave it there and pick away at it over time whenever you need a break (cards running bad) from your favorite site??

Thanks

Thanks for the notice about this bonus. I failed to read that the bonus does not start until the 24th, but when I emailed support about the deposit I made today they gave me 20%. So, quick response, and a nice little bonus. I'll take the 50% one in a couple days also.

Never played at UB, but have considered it for the bonus. Can anyone estimate for me what percentage of hands at 1/2 meet the rake requirement for a UB point?

You get partial points based on rake, and offhand I'm not sure where that starts, but your hourly rate at 1/2 should be around $4/hr, $5.50 at 2/4 and so on. The bonuswhores.com website publishes a chart for each site reviewed showing expected rate of return on bonuses.

[dogmeat]

Well, I thought it was cool they gave me a 20% bonus. Then I hit a royal (winning a big $17 pot in $2/$4) and was happy again. Then I found out somebody else already hit one, and when there is a tie, the first one wins - BOO!

Now I'm sad.

Ok, this sounds like a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. If I already have money on the site, can I withdraw $200 into Neteller and then redeposit it to get the $100 bonus or does reload mean that you don't have any funds in the site in the first place?

I was actually thinking about cashing out my entire account and taking a break for a while. Would I be able to cash out totally and then redeposit $200, and try to work off the bonus or would they not let me do that do you all think?

[Im Just A Bill]

You could probably do it as long as you withdraw before the promo starts. Not sure about UB but some casinos void the bonus if you make a withdrawal during the promo period.

[MicroBob]

Yes. You will get the bonus.
Pretty sure you could cash-out DURING the bonus-period on UB and still get the bonus.

I have $2700 in bonus to clear there mostly from the SNG-crazy bonus. So adding another $100 on top of that seems silly but I'll probably do it anyway.

[eggzz]

Bob, do you think I would need to withdraw my entire bankroll though, or just $200?

Thanks

[MicroBob]

you can withdraw however much you like....you get 50% on your next deposit....period!

withdraw your whole bankroll of $1k (or whatever) if you like and then deposit $200.
or withdraw $50 and then deposit $200.

on ub it is typically just a straight-up 'Get up to $100 bonus on your next deposit'.

if you wanted, you could cash-out $50 today, $50 tomorrow, $50 the next day, and then deposit $200 the day after that and you will still get the bonus.


note - I haven't read the T&C's for this bonus. Just going based on the previous UB bonus-policy which had NO rules for cashing-out BEFORE depositing for the bonus. They MAY have changed the rules on this....but I very much doubt it.


honestly though, if you have $200 lying around in your neteller it is probably easier to just deposit that and THEN cash-out everything you have (or however much you want to cash-out) immediately after that.
You don't have to leave your money in there you know.

for me, If I don't have the money lying around in my neteller I'll usually cash-out the required amount from a DIFFERENT site and then despoit it into UB assuming I have time to make those moves.
I feel like cashing-out from UB and then depositing it right back in and then cashing-out right-away after that is like shoving it in their faces.
When I pull the money out of a DIFFERENT site then at least I am helping UB think they are actually generating extra money when they offer their reload.

I don't want to give them reason to offer reloads less often. I just picture them sitting in some board-room meeting saying things like 'well, on our last reload we had X-number of players just cash-out, deposit the same money and then cash it all out again all within a 2-day period. so perhaps we should reconsider our reload policies.'

[eggzz]

Thanks Bob. I have been a UB customer for over a year, and I've really never gotten any type of bonus from them, so I want to at least get $100 out of this. I didn't play many sit and gos when they had their last promotion.

I understand what you are saying though. I appreciate your response.

I think most players don't have $200 sitting around in Neteller. I think most players at UB never make a deposit. And the bonus program is basically an unofficial prop program--all that bonus money is incentive to keep playing at UB. I think those of us that freeride on this aren't a big enough problem for UB to cancel the deposits--especially compared to other sites that pay out deposit bonuses so much faster.

At the micro limits, the bonus is easily 2BB/100h, enough to boost my winrate up over 'crushing' (cuz I'm not doing that myself).

How have you not gotten any bonuses from them? They had like 5 reloads this past summer alone.

[MicroBob]

I didn't understand that either.

From Dec-May I would guess they had 6-8 reload offers that were for everyone.
They don't offer too many player specific reloads to my knowledge.

I already had a ton of bonus there BEFORE the SNG-promo.

I do this, well alot. However most of my game play time is devoted to UB. Though I agree, it takes forever to unlock bonus dollars on there. So I think it can not be a bad deal for them. I mean look at Full Tilt. They are matching 100% bonus up to $600. Now thats a ton of bonus cash.

I have a question.

I just recently made my first deposit onto Ultimate and got the 50 percent bonus from pokerlistings.com. I'm still working on clearing that off but I do have some money from other sites I could use to deposit more money. Got to love free money.

Can you get a reload bonus while still working off a first deposit bonus?

[Drunk Bob]

Has anybody actually played at Ub today?

[crockpot]

you should have no problem getting the reload bonus. however, you'll have a hell of a time signing onto ub at all right now.

Yes, I'm also trying to sign up today to advantage of PL's $250 and the reload bonus, but I've been trying the last 4 hours and haven't been able to create an account.

[MicroBob]

as I said before. I have around $2700 in bonus-money waiting to be cleared there.
Obviously this means you can stack one bonus on top of another (and another and another and another....).

This seems to be a popular misconception regarding bonuses.
Many people have said things like "I'm trying to clear my first bonus in time to take advantage of the reload".
Almost all sites I play at that offer reloads like this allow you to stack bonuses on top of each other (although some sites have expiry-dates on their bonuses).

Sites where you can take advantage of a reload and will let you stack them if you have a previous bonus pending include party, stars, paradise, ub, pokerroom, absolute, pacific.
