I signed up there, great games because no 2+2ers play there. nice bonus, and 40% rakeback. Given by them. So, no screwing everybody. I like the software, took some getting used to, but it is quick and smooth. pretty good trafic. Supported by pokertracker. Its the nuts.

What's their bonus? Can't seem to find it. Also hows the cashouts? Looks like a casino type so do they want my first born before I can get my money?

I haven't cashed out yet, so cant tell ya about cashouts. Their bonus is wierd its automatic, just sign up and deposit, no codes or anything. You can read about it on their main page under poker then on the side promotions and bonuses or something.

is this a referral or what?
BetonBet Poker is a PokerRoom skin that is offering very lucrative rakeback rates.Too bad you can only play 4 tables there.IF you could play 8-12 tables or get multiple rakeback accounts set up thru the same affiliate you would be set.I asked a BetonBetPoker affiliate about multiple accounts and he said no.Without multiple accounts and just playing 4 tables it is very hard to get to the highest MGR break which is 40% at $7K in monthly rake plus they calculate rake rebates differently there then at Party.I still would play at this room becuase I've always liked PokerRoom but they gotta get rid of that 4 table max.

They are on the same network as Pokerroom.com, HoldemPoker.com etc... However their bonus in considerably more difficult to clear as they require 12X raked hands to complete.

So my $100 Bonus will require 1200 raked hands. At 2/4 I would have to play around over 2000 hands in order to clear this bonus.

Well which is it?

Also if you are in fact happy no 2+2'ers are there, why are you telling us how great it is?

You make no sense

.. and why wouldn't there be any 2+2ers?

Are they not they on the same network as PokerRoom?

I like betonbet, and they are fast with the cashouts. However, the way they figure out rake is very different from party. The amount you get credit for is directly in proportion to much you put in the pot. So if you fold pre flop you get no credit. If you and three other people bet/call to the river you would get credit for 1/3 of the rake.

Their structure is the same as PokerRoom where you have to accumulate points. These points are based on the size of the pot. A $20 pot would net you 1 PP.

Earning Poker points - Detailed

Ring games - HoldŽem, Omaha and 7 Card Stud
1 point for every raked real money hand where the rake was $1.00 or more. You get 0.5 points for every raked real money hand where the rake was less than $1.00 (but more than $0.50). You do not have to pay rake to earn points, you just need to be dealt cards. If you are sitting out you will not earn any points.

Therefore I would need to accumulate 1200 Points in order to clear the $100 deposit bonus. This is not realistic... in my opinion.

I don't see any mention to bonus or points being tied proportionately to the amount of rake you contribute to a specific pot.

I have a question on their deposits. On the main page it shows that they charge 1% for Neteller deposits. Is this the case for poker or is it just for Casino and sports betting?

When I get to the promo page it says the deposit bonus is 20% up to $100.

Also, for clearing it, the wording is,
"Ring games - HoldŽem, Omaha and 7 Card Stud
1 point for every raked real money hand where the rake was $1.00 or more. You get 0.5 points for every raked real money hand where the rake was less than $1.00 (but more than $0.50). You do not have to pay rake to earn points, you just need to be dealt cards. If you are sitting out you will not earn any points."

I know that's already been posted but they key thing here seems to be that if the rake is $0.50 or less (INCLUDING if the rake is exactly $0.50), you get ZERO points. Of course, this only affects players at micro limits and I know you're all high rollers, but I thought it was worth pointing out.

the neteller fee also applies to poker transactions.

So a 12x raked and a 1% Neteller fee? Sounds like the Holdempoker is a better pokerroom skin.

I never mentioned anything about clearing bonuses in my post. I was talking about how they calculate mgr for rake rebate.

I am pretty sure you get 1/2 a point for $.50 rake. This is the same wording as PokerRoom. I did their bonus this week and it cleared faster than ever with no change to the pot size necessary to earn a full point. The only recent change there was starting the rake at $5 in 2-4 games which creates a lot of $.50 raked pots.

Apologies.
