Dear Ex-Empire Player,



Thank You for playing at EmpirePoker.com.

We apologize for the error and would like to assure you that corrective actions have been taken for the error not to repeat.

To make up for this, we are pleased to award you with ‘HOTSEP’, a 10% up to $100 bonus. This bonus will be directly released into your account in the next 3 hours and its value will depend on your last deposit amount. You don't need to play raked hands or deposit again for the bonus to be released into your account.

Not hardly good enough in my opinion.

[ripped]

so what they are saying is we are all going to get $50 for free since we all deposited $500. Ohh goodie.. I cant wait to WITHDRAW THAT ALSO.

[RiverTheNuts]

yep... just took my 50 bucks and withdrew it too

[ripped]

I did also.. VIP members got a $400 bonus..anyone else got $50..

vip members got $400??? i am vip member, i only got $50. no email yet, however.

[Beck]

Wouldn't it be plausible to ask for the full $100 bonus? I made the deposit before receiving the mail, so I was unable to use it to its max.

Empire has taken away $500 from people's bonus accounts, and now they are taking away $50 from our HOTSEP bonus.

Empire has screwed a lot of people today.

[Festus22]

I'm not sure why everyone is saying they got screwed out of $50 by the HOTSEP bonus. It is a separate bonus and looks like it's open to everyone.

I deposited $500 for the now-defunct MATCHBONUSEP fiasco and then deposited another $1000 this morning and got the full HOTSEP $100.

If you don't have an extra $1K, just withdraw the $500 deposit you already made, add another $500, redeposit, and you get your $100.

Yes, I agree that pulling the $500 bonus was foul but as they say, when something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

[MicroBob]

You can't get the full $100 now.

They are forcing you to take $50 on your last deposit.
If you deposit again you get NOTHING.

[MicroBob]

VIP members did not get $400.

[Rah]

Festus: Then you're lucky. My HOTSEP bonus is not available since Empire gave me $50 as compensation for the $500 screwup.

[Festus22]

Ugh.

If I get this right, they're redirecting the $500 you deposited for the MATCHBONUSEP toward the HOTSEP and since the HOTSEP bonus is a 10% match up to $100, you're only getting $50?

If that's the case and you never entered the HOTSEP code then that is very, very poor.

It is weird though that I just went ahead and deposited another $1K this morning, entered HOTSEP, and got the whole $100 bonus. The $500 I deposited for the MATCH mess is still there too.

Weird - very weird.

Can someone clarify this?

In the zoo someone posted an email saying they got $400. Was this wrong?

[mrjim]

Find someone other than ripped posting this information and maybe it is correct, but I doubt it.
