crypto recurring bonus whoring info

[bonanz]

as i understand it there are 7 sites open to americans and 6 that offer monthly bonuses.

PokerPlex - $50 every month
Interpoker -$90 every month
William Hill- $25 every month
UK Betting- 25£ every month
TotalBet- 25£ every month
sunpoker- $40 every month
Classic Poker- $100 25% (one time)

according to my calculations thats close to 300$ a month for doing what i do anyways. Is there anything I'm missing or should be aware of before I go crypto whoring?

thanks

Remember that before you can withdraw you have to get your PIN via snail mail for all sites except William Hill.

Other than that go for it.

How soft are the games at the crypto sites?

[La Brujita]

Low limit games are very very very soft. They often don't have middle-limit games running.

[bonanz]

couple more things i just thought of...

can you multitable at all of these sites?

and regarding the pin, thats something they send to you automatically correct? i always read about people warning you that you need the pin to cashout, but does it cause some sort of delay or something? or just an FYI?

and these are all sites based in the UK correct? so a majority of the players there are from the UK and timing your sessions should be done appropriately?

are the limits in dollars or pounds? and does it really make a difference as far as rake etc?

thanks again,

bonanz

it's also worth noting that they are softer during european prime-time hours.

During American evening hours it seems to tighten up (and there are fewer players).

[GWB]

1) You can get 25£ at William Hill (if you sign up at the UK portal instead of US portal).

2) Beware. Some people are having problems with the one-time Classic bonus.

You can at least four table at all of the sites and I believe but am not quite sure that I five tabled once-only about 50% certainty.

Timing is definitely to be slanted towards Europe.

eCash runs all the cashouts except for WH. I have never had a problem with the pin and I don't think it is a big deal, it is just an added layer of security. The charge $1 for cashouts but someone on the site has said if you withdraw and amount of x.01 they round up the withdrawal and only charge you 1 penny. In other words I believe if you want to cash out 200, cash out 200.01 instead and you will pay 1 penny charge.

Don't play the GBP tables even though they are softer. They kill you on the rake. $ tables are capped at a $3 rake and GBP tables are capped at 3 GBP rake.

In other words if you play $2-4$ holdem the cap is $3 but if you play 1 GBP-2 GBP (basically the equivilant amount) the rake cap is 3 GBP or more than five dollars!

Finally, Will Hill runs its own cashout system and are the sloppiest by far. I would be very careful recording your dollar amounts in your account if you play there. I have had issues more than once including once where they just didn't credit my account with over $250 for a in the money finish in a multi until I asked them specifically to do so.

I still play there, I just am a bit more vigilant.

the 25 pounds thing was discussed quite a bit on bonuswhores.
I signed-up for Will Hill via the bonuswhores link and I'm getting paid in pounds.
Others had similar success.....but I think a couple people are only getting paid in dollars and aren't exactly sure why.

There's no real way to know what you're going to get until you play your first hour there and it shows up in your account.


Obviously this is a significant difference....you can either get $5 or 5 pounds an hour for 5 hours each month.
5 pounds equals about $9 btw....so it's a difference of getting either $25/mth there or $45/mth.

on will hill how do they measure the hour play? what if you sit out for 5 minutes of the hour. what if your playing only one table, why play m ore than one table. please explain. thanks

If you 4 table you'll complete the 5 hour requirement in an hour and 15 minutes of solid play. Talk about a great hourly rate!

[La Brujita]

Basically on the sites that measure the five hours it is table time, time actually playing not sitting out etc. It is measured in table hours, ie if you play 2 tables you only need to play 2.5 hours, 4 tables 75 minutes etc.

Basically I just have a stopwatch out and measure it myself and then play an extra ten minutes or so. TB and UK betting each send you five emails (one per hour) after you close the client so that is how you know you are done.

For WH you just have to look online at your account info and see that the hourly bonus was credited five times. They do it in a slightly weird way. If you play an hour and you started with 110 won 20 and collected $9 bonus you will see something like this:

Credits

chips cashed 139

bonus 9

Debits

chips purchased 110

bonus 9

In other words the $9 will show up as part of the chips you cashed out so keep track of your table winnings to be certain they got it correct.

The crypto software is junk. Disconnects are frequent and very costly. I disconnect about 2 x per session.

It is very slow software also. Hands per hour are way low.

I tried doing the bonuses here, but I just couldn't stomach playing on the crypto software.

[klagett]

I've only done interpoker so far because I didn't know about the pin before I deposited but I've been having a great time while waiting for the pin.

I deposited 100$
In my first session hit the royal flush bonus for 125$
Worked off my 90$

And have since made 10.11bb/100 at 1/2 limit after 3000 hands.

I do admit the software is really really bad.

[Freudian]

You can multitable but you can only be on one waiting list at a time. I only tried two tables at once so I don't know the upper limit.

I disagree with this advice. True, they kill you on the rake, but the players are much worse. Frankly, despite the rake, I net more money per hour playing these tables, and that's all that's really important to me. I don't especially like the rake structure, but these games are quite simply more profitable. That's like recommending to not play Party because they rake more.

[bonanz]

i've signed up for will hill, where do you check the status of your bonus? i've been 3 tabling for a little over an hour.

[La Brujita]

I hear you on the rake issue with GBP tables. They are softer in my opinion as well. I guess I should have just said be aware that you have to make more money to make up for the higher rake.

You have to check your WH bonus at your account page at the site. I believe the bonus only gets credited after you leave the client.

Regards

[bonanz]

ah yes have to close the client and reopen. one more thing, do most of these bonuses go by calendar month? or is it a 30 days kinda deal? thanks again for all the help

[La Brujita]

No worries, calendar month, although I never figured out whether it uses Eastern time or European time or what.

[imitation]

Yeh I don't bother playing the GBP or Euro tables because of the higher rake, but rest assure that the soft tables go all the way up to atleast the $3/$6 tables where I saw play which was on par with party 1/2...I speced a 10/20 game there and it looked juicy as well.

[Jeff W]

When did you get your pin codes for the Crypto sites? Recently my friend signed up for Intercasino Poker and hasn't received his pin after 3 weeks and numerous phone calls. I'm hesitant to try the crypto sites because of the difficulty of obtaining the pins and the unresponsiveness of support. Can anyone let me know if they've very recently done Crypto sites and not had problems with moving money in and out?

Thank you.

[DeucesUp]

One note: The crypto sites are the only ones I know that charge a fee to withdraw to Neteller.

Only a dollar per cashout, but if you're the type who is constantly moving money in and out, this can add up.

[bonanz]

are these pins to the crypto sites mailed to you via snail mail?

william hill was rock garden today while i was there

[chrisdhal]

Yes, snail mail. I don't think I ever got mine originally from Interpoker, but one email got it sent. Plex got it to me in about 2 weeks. I'm still waiting (3 weeks) for Carib Sun, so I'll email them again. It's only really a hassle the first time. The added security is kind of nice. After you have the PIN, it's no big deal.

The software does suck, but I haven't had any disconnect problems. It does peg my CPU occassionaly though. The updated versions are better though, plus they offer "stats" so you can semi keep track of number of hands. I still use Poker Tracker to do it though since it can weed out the raked hands. Much easier.
