Interpoker Changes Their Rules Again

[banditdad]

This is from the site:
"Secondly the definition of a raked hand at InterPoker is changing. From July a raked hand will only be counted when 1 unit (£/$/€) or over is raked. This is the equivalent of a $20 pot. Every hand you are dealt cards and the total pot is $20 or more a raked hand will be counted towards your bonus."

So in other words if I'm playing 1/2USD I'll never clear the bonus since the tables are so tight and the pots rarely reach $20.

Glad I got that June bonus in, plus the BW extra $100.

From .25 to 1. Ouch. Bye bye Interpoker.

Bad for $1/$2 and below players, good for everyone else.

It would be great if this gets a lot of people to move up to 2/4 that would not otherwise play that limit...

*cough* FAQ *cough*

It's 25xB (so for $90 it's 2250) and the lowest HA games are either Double Bonus VP or Pontoon.

What you said is very true, BUT these bonuses are stackable and wagering rolls over...

There are better poker bonuses out there than Interpoker now days, but the risk free monthly rollover casino bonus they offer is one of, if not the best and most reliable, casino bonuses out there.

Plus its a nice and fun break from the grind.

Its your money and time. Allocate it as you deem best.

This may be a step in the right direction. I heard they will likely be adding half and even quarter points to make it fairer for the lower limits without killing all the mid limit games.

[Greg J]

This is crazy.

However, BD forgeto to mention:

"Firstly the wagering required to clear your bonus to play in poker is coming back down to 5 (five) times the bonus in raked hands. For example a $90 bonus will require only 450 raked hands to clear."

Here is the link. (http://www.intercasinopoker.com/promotions/monthly_bonus.shtml)

This is still not great to clear it took me 570 real raked hands to pass there 450 raked hands of $1 rake each, this was playing 3/6 to 10/20 only to give you an idea....

[Cheshire]

Does anyone know if this change is retroactive? In July I started on that site and I have not cleared the bonus yet, are those hands I already played going to not count any more?

[AAAA]

I played 125 hands today at $2/$4 and had about 40 that were raked $1 or more. 66 with no rake at all. I was surprised. I will move up to $3/$6 or higher at that rate.

[Blackjack]

This bonus now sucks hardcore

[AAAA]

I used to play 1020 there and loved the games, but then I found that it was a waste of bonus to play that high, so I just multitabled a bunch of $1/$2 tables, and used to win a hundred or so while i cleared the $90 bonus and got at least 20% rake back. All in all it was worthwhile. Now I think I will go back to seeing if I can find a 1020 game and just let the $90 show up as bonus money.

PL and NL .50/1 during the Europe evening hours.

IF they had enough players, PL .50/1 Omaha h/l is made to order for this.

[grimel]

If you play a moderately decent O 8/b, find the ONE PL .50/1 running, take a seat and play the ONE table while playing some other site.

That's how I've been clearing the Will Hill 5hrs in <300 hands. The game runs slow enough that it won't interfere with your other games.
