Still not sure on Pacific Bonuses

[jhall23]

So I decided I wanted to get a free set of chips thanks to the add on 2+2 given by freepokerbooks.com. I've read through a bunch of threads on Pacific bonuses and I think I might have it clear but am not sure.

So I deposited $200 and got a $50 bonus which means I need to wager $1000 (20x) to be able to withdraw the money. But the bonus page from the cashier is not clear to me. My guess is that the "bonus/comp points" listed there are not really tied to my deposit bonus per se, correct? After about 3-400 hands played I only have something like 40-50 points which translates to 50c I can add to me account. I read that you get 1 bonus point per $10 wagered which is inconsistent with the deposit bonus so I assume they are not the same thing. Are these bonus/comp points thing just an added thing that pacific does?

If so does that mean I can simply multiply this bonus/comp points by 10 to see how much I have actually wagered and then once that is equal to $1000 I am all set to withdraw?

Also, anyway to see how many raked hands I have played? I need 250 to get my free chip set but not sure if I am there or not.

Thanks.

Yes, you can just multiply it by 10. I had to wager $2000 at the 0.10/0.20 and 0.25/0.5 tables. Took me all summer last year. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Not really. Unless you got back through the web-based hand histories and count them by hand...
Maybe you could just ask them via e-mail. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Thanks, thought I had figured it out but they really aren't very clear on the bonus page. Goes along with their crappy software I suppose. Luckily I am playing 50NL so it won't be taking long at all based on the rate I am going!

As far as the raked hands, I'll probably just assume once I have 1000+ hands that I played 250 raked hands. I think that will be safe.

email support and ask them to tell you your count. i did it twice and they said i was short. the third time i did it (within like a day) they said i was over 1k past it. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Wouldn't you know that you are past it when the bonus money has been added to your account?

[jhall23]

They actually added the bonus money to my account right away that is the problem. You just can't cash it out until you have cleared it.

You really need to email them and tell them that you signed up through freepokerbooksonline, because when I emailed them they told me I had to contact freepokerbooks to confirm w/ them. I know the site says its automatic, but Pacific gave me the email of the lady in charge of it. And I emailed her. In fact, I just got my chips in the mail today. Whoohoo
