$10 from Pacific

[MicroBob]

I cashed-out everyting in my pacific account a few weeks ago.

They aren't offering re-loads....their software sucks anyway...playing there is annoying.


In the REGULAR mail today (not e-mail....but an actual letter) I got a letter from Pacific Poker that $10 has been placed in my account with no clearing requirement or anything (and then a bunch of crap about their exciting tournaments, etc)


My computer says I need to reinstall Pacific (I had some compter problems a few weeks ago so this is not surprising) so I haven't checked to see whether the $10 is there or not....but I assume it is since it said so in the letter.


I just found it kind of interesting.

Not sure why they would send me the info via the regular mail and not in an e-mail. I still get many of the e-mail promotional things for their show-down survivor series, etc.

I got the same thing in the normal mail. I already lost it. I can't stand that software.

I got this in the mail yesterday, downloaded Pacific, and cashed out the $10. Hopefully there really isn't a clearing requirement, as I haven't received any kind of "no you can't withdraw" message(s) yet. But with how long Pacific cashouts usually take, I will not know for sure until a few days go by.

Also, I had no money in Pacific either.
I dislike them and haven't played there for months.

I received this in my mailbox as well. I assume ten more dollars are present in my account but had no idea what was in previously. You can tell I keep great records. 'Stosh

You don't need the piece of mail. The money is automatically credited to your account. If there's no release requirement, why not d/l the software and cashout the free money?

[MicroBob]

right. You don't need the letter....it only was to inform you that they had given you $10 into your account. It's already there (or at least it should be).


I might actually sit-in on a $10 tourney or a .25/.50 table or something just to make them happy.

I don't know what their minimum cash-out requirement is so I was also contemplating depositing $40 in to get the $10 out if that was necessary.
Can you really cash-out just $10 at Pacific?

Taken from pacificpoker.com:
[ QUOTE ]
If your Cash Out request is for less than the minimum allowable amount, listed below, the funds will be returned to your Bankroll:

* The minimum allowable Wire Transfer Cash Out is $20
* The minimum allowable Bank Draft, ePassporte, FirePay or NETELLER Cash Out is $5

I also would have blown the $10 in one of their tournaments. But since they didn't give me the +$1 for the tournament fee, I'll just take the free money.

[bweiser8311962]

Got 3 letters in the mail yesterday. Only can find 2 accounts. Oh well. $20 is better than $0

[poker327]

I never deposited with them before, and it didn't look like I could cashout to Firepay. I probably didn't look hard enough.

[Brain]

Awesome! I just re-downloaded the software (since I got rid of it after clearing a bonus there, ugh) and it's there. Now I have $10.64 in my account. Anyone want to transfer $0.36 for that tourney fee? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[the_rookie]

Yeah I don't care much for Pacific, I just used it to lag it up and the NL tables. Good times, good times.. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[cardcounter0]

I also got the letter today. I also had to re-download the software.

My free $10 is now a free $80.55

I thought you had to do the standard 5x play or whatever to clear it.

The letter has no fine print on it, nor does it mention anything about a release requirement. Still, that doesn't automatically mean there isn't one. We'll see how my attempt at withdrawing it goes.

I played the 0.05/0.10 to get above $11 and then played a $10+1 SNG and placed 2nd. That's the first time I've ever placed in a SNG. I think I would have won, except I made one egregious call HU. So I turned my $11 into $30 and cashed out. Hopefully it'll show up in my Neteller soon.

[toss]

Doesn't Pacific take like two years to cash out from?

[Brain]

I think it was a day or two when I cashed out the first time. I'll try to remember to post when it hits my account.

[jph0424]

You can cashout with firepay. It is one of the options on the pulldown menu.

[BaThR0oM]

Awesome post. I haven't played in Pacific for months myself. Just logged in and found +$10 in my account.

[tubalkain]

How long do these guys usually take with a password request? I hadn't played there in over a year, forgot the insane random password they gave me, and put in a request 24 hours ago.

I haven't heard anything yet, but given that everyone got $10, I can imagine a bit of a backlog there. Thoughts?

I went through the same thing when I downloaded their software to grab the $10. I had forgotten that the password is random, and was trying to enter all my 'regular' passwords. None of them worked so I sent in the request for the pass. Shortly after I sent the request, I realized my error and found my password.

The e-mail from Pacific containing my password didn't hit my inbox until about 8 hours later.

[TLK]

I got the same mail. It could be a free $1000, and I wouldn't go back. They have the worst software available....

[MaxSquat]

I got it last night....I see that I got something from "Canada"...so it could only mean one thing....online poker mail!!!! whooooo i love those /images/graemlins/cool.gif /images/graemlins/cool.gif

I decided to check out the site since I havent been there in MONTHS....ohhhhh gawd now I know why i dont play there...but goooooooooodness gracious now I know why I SHOULD play there...players are cursed to play awful by Pokerolopis (God of Poker)...I think I'm gonna stick around and try to build up that $10 into something...Perhaps it'll be my son's private school fund /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Rudbaeck]

I didn't get one from Pacific. *cries* Now I'll starve!

I did however get a very similar snail mail from 888.com, giving me a free $10 at their poker site Pacific, and telling me that if I read their short poker course I'd be raking in the money tomorrow. It was a beautiful piece of fishbait.

Too bad the software is the definition of bad.

[jon_keck]

I got the exact same thing.. within 2 days I also got a bunch of crap from some shady online casinos, and some mail from Intertops with an "install disc".

Free $10 is always cool.

[MicroBob]

Account was at $0.29

Sure enough, pacific put the $10 in my acct so I was up to $10.29.


Just took 1st place in a $2.50+$0.25 5-player SNG for $6.25 (actual win = $3.50).

Woo-hoo!!!

Account total now stands at $13.79


Not sure whether i want to roll the dice on a 10+1....or if I should stick with the $2.50+$0.25's.
Tough decisions here.

[Wyers]

Go hard or go home.

[MrGrob]

I got that in the mail -- but there was 0 in my account. I wrote an e-mail asking them about it, but I would rather be whipped by the gimp than spend ANY time on that site with that software....

Once I was playing there...I got hungry...humm, tuna sounds good...fold preflop...go start making tuna...continue to make the tuna...almost done...there, that looks good...clean up the mess...take a bite...yum...it was good...go back to computer...see the river card being delt...I hadn't missed a hand................

I will never play at that life sucking site again.

[Yobz]

NO mail - YES $$$, woohoo! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yeah yeah. I know.
but it's such a tough decision.

Putting my entire pacific 'roll' on the line in 1 shot seems so dangerous.


I mean....what if I take a bad-beat and actually lose? I would be devastated.

[Thythe]

I took the $10 and sat down at $1 blind NL. I post somewhere in middle position. First hand is AK, I go all in, 1 caller, A on flop, but T on river. That's it for my 10 dollars.

Wow, I just did the same thing. I went all in PF with AK: A on flop, then runner 3's for the guy's 73o speshul /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[MicroBob]

you guys just aren't very good players.

Yeah, but it was $10 free anyway /images/graemlins/smile.gif
I would have felt guilty for just cashing out

[TomBrooks]

I went into Pacific about a week ago and found they gave me a $10 freebee bonus. I signed in tonight to play some, figuring I'd give them a little business. I went one orbit and logged out. I couldn't stand how slow the table was and the cards look very small also which was annoying.

Yeah I admit it, I got outplayed that time. But I know I'm good enough to sit at that table.

[AngryCola]

I have confirmed that there is no wagering requirement on this free $10. If you want, you can just sign in and cash out the money with no problems.

[afk]

Bah, they gave me nothing.

Don't worry MB, about $5,000 in counseling afterwards will help you get over being devastated! /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[dbirider16]

I recieved the same thing in the mail. I logged onto pacific, saw that i had $10 in my account, went to the cashier and cashed it out to my firepay account. That was an easy $10. Thanks pacific... I think i'll spend it at Quiznos /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Blackjack]

At 13.32$ now in the NL50

[cardcounter0]

Darn, now you tell me! I spent the time to run it up to $79 before I cashed out.

[David]

Funny, whenever a site gives me any money I ALWAYS sit down in the highest limit game the software will allow and gamble on the first hand of any quality. Hmmmm, I always lose too, maybe a different strategy.......nah, it's fun.
