Sportingbet poker

[Entity]

Has anyone here done any of their promos? I'm trying one right now for Ecasinodeals (just trying to get a card shuffler and some Kem cards), and I'm pretty unimpressed. Wondering how long (if anyone here has played there) it took you to clear bonuses (for 500 hands, etc.).

I had a friend who was trying to get an Ipod through Ecasinodeals by playing at Sportingbet. He said the software was terrible and that he was disconnected half a dozen times and he lost his money each of those times. He e-mailed support but they said they couldn't help.

I signed up for ecasinodeals for the same thing (well the poker chipset). Cleared the bonus in one day but missed the fine print - they offer you a betting ticket up to the value of $50.. which means you have to place it on one of their bets and if you lose well you walk away with nothing - so I found the closest thing to a sure fire win I could (australia to win tri nations league). As far as I know that's their only promotion.

#2: You have to leave your money in sportingbet until ecasino have been notified by the casino (could take up to 3 weeks I'm told). I completed the requirements same day, but I didnt want to not get the comp so I emailed ecasino staff who recommended I leave the money there until the entire thing was verified. A week has since passed by, and yes ecasino do show the tracker - it now says 'pending' which is good, but no real sign of anything happening yet.

In short if you can afford to leave a few hundred lying here and there then go for it, I currently have 3 ecasino comps with money tied up there until they are verified. Will keep you posted.

Yeah, the software here really blows. The players are loose/passive/very bad, but I can't stand the software at all. I just got check/called by the absolute nuts (A-high straight) on the river. I'm playing in the 5-handed .25/.5 games just to rack up raked hands but GOD it's boring. I've never been so bored playing poker before.

Once I clear the bonus and get my comp (hope it happens quickly) I'm out of here for good. This site blows.

What do you mean about the $50 bet thing?

It is IMO the worst software out there. The call stations dont even make up for how bad it is. Can only play 1 game at a time too and the software makes it about impossible to play another room at the same time.

I was going to do the poker comp, but then I read this:

You must play a minimum of 250 raked hands at .25/.50 minimum tables.(can easily be done in a few days time). You must see the flop in order for the hand to be considered raked.

That's like 1000 hands or more. I guess it'd be fewer if you play shorthanded, but that's still a lot. Especially if the software is as bad as people say in this thread. I think I'll just do blackjack instead, since you only have to wager $200. Anyone know the parameters (i.e. # of decks, etc.)? I couldn't find the info on the website.

i did this poker room for the comp and the 250 hands wasn't that hard to clear playing at the .25/.50 5 max tables. players there are very soft and you should be able to run them over pretty easily and since it's 5 max, you will frequently be seeing the flop.

It's stay on soft 17 and supposedly 4 decks. There was a massive thread started by Homer a couple of weeks ago. I think it was called Free Casino Money. I made about $400 playing blackjack for 4 hours!!!!(2 diff sites) Do it if they still offer the $200 bonus.
