What size does the pot have to be for it to count as a raked hand on Casino.net Poker? I've seen posts where people have been clearing at .10/.20 limits. Just curious.

08-07-2005, 02:08 PM
i was wondering the same thing. from there website, the definition of a raked hand is on in which you contribute money to the pot, not counting blinds.

Also, I think the .1/.2 refered to NL, not limit.

Hello All

to clear this up as I started the casino.net thread

I cleared my bonus at .1/.2 limit - there is no rake requirement, just raked hands - 100 for $30, another 400 for the other $70 - it really is that easy!! (so just throw 10c in the pot /images/graemlins/smile.gif)

I cleared mine in about 6/7 hours 4 tabling and have done the same on a sister site

So get whoring!

Cheers

Damian

As someone who whores the Boss Media/Sporting Bet poker rooms religiously as soon as they are created, I can answer this. The actual limits you play at don't matter; all you have to do is play 500 contributed raked hands. I'd also recommend limit over NL if you're going to be playing microlimits to clear this because limit rakes for each $0.20 in the pot (so basically every pot is going to be raked) while NL only rakes for each dollar.

These rooms are great for a nice quick 500% bonus on a $20 deposit, and as long as you have at least a basic grasp of what you're doing are pretty good for starting up a bankroll. And you can play up to 5 tables at a time and they have 5-handed tables, so if you're crazy you can clear this in no time flat.

Check out sportingbet.com and kspoker.com because they are sister sites with the same bonus.

except yu need to play $1/$2 tables to qualify - so BR is an issue

Well sure, that's what the sites say... /images/graemlins/wink.gif
Unless the policies at Sporting Bet and King Solomon's have changed in the past 3-4 weeks, those bonuses work just like this one. (Obligatory word of caution that the sites could at any time go back to the T&C they actually have written down so YMMV.)

Really that good? I can clear this in like a few hours with no risk! Guess what I'm doing all night when I get back from work /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Is there anything I need to do to deposit, EG: Like interpoker where I need to get stuff in the mail?

hotsauce615
08-09-2005, 02:41 PM
Reading through the site it looks legit. Since I'm at work, what's the minimum deposit, and can you multi-table .1/.2 games? I can see this being a ridiculous opportunity to score a quick 100$!

08-09-2005, 03:05 PM
Casino.net IS as easy as you think. I started last night after reading Damian UK's post and I played for about 4 hrs. I cleared the first $30 and should clear the rest tonight. Did it just the way Damian UK did as well, by playing four tables of .1/.2. The games are soft as hell too which is a plus. I plan to hit up Casino.net's sister sites next. /images/graemlins/spade.gif

Is there a minimum deposit to get the full $100? Getting $100 on a $50 deposit would be amazing.

08-09-2005, 05:12 PM
Can you join other ipnpoker sites with your same info and deposit from you Neteller account to get the same bounus?

hotsauce615
08-09-2005, 05:12 PM
Thats what it looks like. Pretty sweet deal considering playing those nano limits is like ridiculously risk free, its like just saying "Let me commit an entire day to earn 100$". Throw in some good cds, and relax.

I signed up on casino.net tonight. Great sight and soft as hell.
Only downside is that they are like the Crypto sights and send out a "security code" via snail mail to make withdrawals.

Still worth it though.

08-09-2005, 09:40 PM
Nah thats only for withdrawels over 500. oh yea soft as hell. Do europeans suck at poker or something?

Whoever it is, I hope they keep on sucking. haha. I just cleared my full bonus tonight for casino.net in just shy of eight hours! Gotta love it when you profit and get the bonus.

Just cleared the $30 part of the bonus. Very easy game at the .10/.20 level. Took me about 3 hours 3 tabling. That extra $30 is very nice for someone who just started out less than a month ago with only a $50 bankroll and has been playing .05/.10 at stars. I wish there was an easier way to track how many raked hands you've played though.

hotsauce615
08-10-2005, 01:13 AM
Yea I cleared out about 77 or so in like 2 hourish of multitabling and made 10 cents! Seriously nice to make a good 10ish bucks an hour, especially when you're still scrapin up cash for a bankroll. If you need to know your raked hands just do the live help they tell you.

I thought I'd give it a shot after reading the glowing reviews. Unfortuneately, it won't let me deposit by Neteller, with an error message that I must use the same Neteller account I first used when signing up to WebDollar.

Well, I only have one Neteller account is the problem. So I don't know what their problem is. I hate starting out with a new site where I have to hassle with customer support just to get them to take my money. Oh well.

Just to clarify, you can deposit any amount to get the $100 in bonus? Also, who's cashed out with no dramas?

I havent cashed out yet heh. At least I only deposited 20$

Damian UK
08-10-2005, 01:22 PM
Hello All

Yes u can deposit what u like - no minimum

u dont need a pin unless u r taking out more than $500

no problems with cashing out - I cleared, played about another 30 mins and took all but about $20 out (i.e. my profit)

Neteller - dunno, never had the option to deposit by neteller, only by card (tho I am european)


OH BTW europeans are not SHITE at poker - the turks are!! LOL - just reraise a turkish player and they will reraise u back EVERY TIME, so save it for the nuts, I got paid out on a $10 pot with quads on the river raising, he had a REALLY low flush! /images/graemlins/grin.gif (at 10/20c!)

JUST to clarify. I can deposit $20.00 and receive the $100 bonus. I can clear this at either the .10/.20 limit or no limit and I need to contribute in order to clear and it's a 5x clear requirement?

If all of this is correct, I can simply post the blind every hand for 500 hands (at a total cost of $50.00), fold every hand and clear the $100? Seems pretty much a sure thing.

Where is the flaw in my logic?

You'd have to deposit $50 then and hope every single hand was raked.

HRFats
08-10-2005, 06:15 PM
Thanks. I'm not actually planning to fold every hand and I sure don't want to see every flop. It was just a "worst case" scenario. But is seems I will need to loosen up pre-flop. I currently see the flop about 20% of the time. That would take 2,500 hands IF they were all raked. Do you guys think it makes sense to see every flop and just fold most hands?

DrunkHamster
08-10-2005, 06:38 PM
Well I am doing it by pretty much limping any suited connectors, 1 gappers, aces, pocker pairs and face cards from any position. The play is bad enough that it's almost the correct strategy as well!

jmillerdls
08-10-2005, 07:06 PM
yeah, its ugly there. I don't play limit...or, have never played limit before today, but even I was showing a profit playing probably close to 40% of my hands over 4 tables. Everyone is limping, so if you hit the flop, it will win you close to 10BB every time.

DrunkHamster
08-10-2005, 07:21 PM
As a limit player, I don't call that ugly...

Edit: 1 thing - don't cold call raises in limit

Damian UK
08-11-2005, 09:19 AM
Yes Fats - you could just contribute 10c to 500 pots and walk away with $50 profit

IT REALLY IS TAHT SIMPLE LOL

no minimum rake requirements, no minimum table requirements, no minimum deposit requirement - nothing

their group is the best whoring site going for newbies

Haha, yeah Jmiller, you took two big pots off me at the same time on two tables last night. Cleared the bonus. ended up cashing out for 202 on my 100 dollar deposit. (yes i'm awful at limit and played way to many hands to rush the bonus)

hotsauce615
08-11-2005, 11:18 AM
If you 5 table, assume that every 10 minutes you will see like 10 flops, so 400/60 = 6ish hours, and thats assuming you only pay blinds

I am loving this site more everyday. I started playing 5 card draw. It's a blast.

I was going to withdrawal all of my money after clearing the bonus, but this place is too soft. I'm hitting up the other skins, and keeping money on the network for the times I go on "Party Tilt".

Dunno why - tho never had a problem with the DL

quick question - u running XP SP2? I upgraded to SP2 whilst already having an account and it FCUKED it up for a while - had to unistall SP2 entirley, piece by piece....

MAybe thats the issue - at the time (about 2 months ago) their support said that the s/ware didn't run with SP2 - tho they were 'working on it'

As far as contributed to the pot goes, if I fold my SB pre-flop, do I still count as contributed since I put in half a bet?

celiboy
08-12-2005, 11:46 PM
I'm gonna hit this up to

When you reach the 500 raked hands, do they automatically credit the remaining 70 bucks into your account or do you have to email support to get this. I know with the 30 bucks after 100 raked hands they automatically credit your account and I was wondering if it was the same with the 70

08-12-2005, 11:55 PM
The remaining $70 will automatically go into your real money account just like the $30, as long as you meet the rake requirement. I'm not sure if you fold your SB that it counts towards your rake or not but I know if you play for about 5-7 hrs (depending on how many hands you play) on four tables at a time; then you should meet the complete bonus requirement. Hope this helps. /images/graemlins/club.gif

I plan on loosening up to about a 30% VPIP which is still well below table average just to make it clear quicker.

08-13-2005, 03:25 PM
Man...I doubt anyone has cleared this with less luck than me

I'm probably 50% done 5 tabling and I dropped 75 BB's in 2 hours at the .10/.20 against dreadful players. Not sure it's worth the aggravation of losing to donks like this. I was rivered countless times in my session today.

NateDog
08-13-2005, 04:26 PM

I had never played limit before this site, so I was going into this bonus pretty blind. But, the players are quite terrible because through 2 sites I'm up over $35 from playing, and $200 from the bonuses. I played for 12 hours, so that's about $3 an hour at a .10/.20...that seems like a pretty good rate. Fun little site.

I've never timed out so often before...and I've never played so loose before. I had alot of trouble folowing the action...but I got the first $30 and was down a couple of cents in actual play.

Good find! Thanks!

08-14-2005, 01:06 PM

DrunkHamster
08-15-2005, 11:25 AM
Looks to me like they wised up to the amount of whores. Its a shame, but, then again, the bonus is still clearly +ev at .25/.5 (especially if the .10/.20 players move up).

That link goes to infinitypoker.com which doesn't have the same bonus.

Does anyone know a full list of sister sites other than kspoker.com and sportingbet?

As for my two cents on this: I cleared the $100 on Casino.net fairly quickly (multi-tabled 4 tables at .10/.20. If you want to cut down on the amount of time spent on clearing the bonus, get on late at night (starting around 12AM EST). It is the only time the tables aren't full with a waiting list for the most part. A few of the tables might only have a couple people on it, so this will help a lot with speeding the process up.

As for the play on the tables: Many players are fishes chasing 2 outers and 4 outers- you will get rivered a lot. Almost every hand, more than half the table (at least) will limp into the pot. If you have the nuts on the river, raise the hell out of it- the betting is not capped at 4 bets! I ended up showing only a small profit (not including the bonus) after I cleared it, but oh well.

I didn't have any problems making a deposit into sportingbet using my Neteller account. I deposited $20 and I'm going to give it a shot at the lowest level, despite what the T&C might say (the T&C is different on Casino.net and doesn't require that you play 1/2). I'll post whether it worked or not.

Looks like out of all the sites on the network only a few offer a similar deal to casino.net. Most of the other ones require 1000 hands and I think this would take forever if yo ask me. Though a few sites seem to offer the same deal with the same terms. This might benefit 300ish bucks for really working on these.

On Sportingbet, there wasn't even a .10/.20...all of a sudden, one popped up out of the blue? Since I had believed there was only .25/.50 at the smallest, this was a nice surprise! I immediately pounced on it. Best part? It's 5 max, meaning much quicker gameplay. So, I'm multi-tabling .25/.50 and the single .1/.2, which all are 5 max.

I've already cleared the $30 out of the $100 bonus- and I didn't have to play the 1/2 like it specifies on the T&C! Only about 500 hands to go. The play is very similar to Casino.net, except the the tables are softer!

OK - so Casino.net obviously removed the .10/.20 limit tables once all the 2+2 ers jumped on. Can we clear this bonus on the nickle/dime NL and PL tables?

It's too bad we beat this site up so bad with the (us) whores.

08-16-2005, 12:27 AM
Oh man, you aren't kidding- I just logged onto Casino.net to verify this and all the .10/.20 tables are gone completely! This is actually not a completely bad thing. There are plenty of .25/.50 5 man tables. However, you can't just throw money into the pot all the time like you could with .10/.20.

As for Sportingbet.com, I just completed all $100 in about 5 hours. I didn't even do 4 tables the whole time either...maybe about half the time. I always had the .10/.20 table going (there was only one, but it is a 5 man unlike Casino.net) and I did .25/.50. I only deposited $20 and I played tighter, but it wasn't a problem. Either way, I've made $200 in bonuses in just two days! /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Anyone else having all kinds of problems with the casino.net software? About every couple dozen hands or so, it lags me out and just drops me. No way I would tolerate this if it wasn't for the bonus, etc. Almost makes the crypto software look "good".

08-16-2005, 07:12 AM
I cleared it yesterday, and yes, the software was not perfect. I had problems sitting down, and the .10-.20 5-max table, (also called "the bonus table /images/graemlins/smile.gif" was invisible several times. I had to enter another table, and refresh the lobby several times before it magically appeared.
But, at least, with 80% vpip, the 5-max was nice for the bonus.

Stupid questions:


1st, What's the code for the $100 bonus with no minimum deposit?

2nd, How can I put money in? Can I do it using IGM-pay?


Also, Further reading tells me that you guys hoarded it for all it's worth and now they don't have .1/.2 limit anymore and only have 25c/50c tables. How's the action on these? Still +EV?

DrunkHamster
08-16-2005, 08:28 AM
No code is needed, and I'm not sure about deposit options but I just used neteller. Also, I played the .25/.5 tables even when there were .10/.20 tables going, and they were still extremely beatable. If the people from .10/.20 have moved up, then its even better for you guys, because they were seriously the most loose passive calling stations I have ever seen.

Does a raked hand at this site means that I have to contribute money to the pot or do I just need to be dealt a hand in a pot that was raked?
Thanks.

08-16-2005, 03:17 PM
The pot has to be raked with a hand that you play. However, even playing as low as .1/.2 should still allow for most hands to be raked. .25/.5 is not an issue at all. The only question I have is if I fold my SB and the pot is raked whether it counts. Either way, it's not something I'm sweating much!

08-16-2005, 04:04 PM
You have to contribute. So paying the blinds doesn't count.

This site is SLOW with the cashouts! I requested a cashout Saturday mid day. It's been over 36 hours now and it has not shown up. The email they sent said 1-4 days. Looks like it's closer to four. I imagine their site has seen a large increase in players, deposits and cashouts over the last week. I hope thay have the necessary staff to keep up with the increased demand.

Not to nit, but it's 1-4 business days. That means if you cash out over the weekend, it could take up to Thursday to see your money. Maybe Friday morning.

It was automatic, for me. Like mentioned above, you get 30 bucks after 100 raked hands, then the rest after 500 raked hands. You can email support to ask how many raked hands you have. Otherwise, just play until your eyes glaze over, then the money suddenly pops into your account.

08-16-2005, 10:05 PM
The software is slow too, so don't be surprised if you find out you were a good 50 or 60 raked hands over the requirements.

I decided to ask what heppened to the .10/.20 tables. Here's the response:

Dear XXXX,

Thank you for the email regarding your poker account.

We can confirm that the tables will be available very soon to be able to play.

If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.


Kind Regards,

So as soon most of us have whored this site raw, they will probably add back the .10/.20 tables.

We are not whoring it raw as you say. We are trying out these new sites to test the quality of games they are offering. The bonus is just an incentive.

Then if we like the quality of games, we sample other sites within the network to see which one offers the best customer support and fastest payouts. The bonus is just an extra incentive.

Once we test several of the different sites, I'm sure we will figure out which one we prefer best.

No. I'd imagine it is the same as the blinds in Hold 'Em. A forced bet isn't a "contributed pot" in the eyes of casino.net.

As for the $.10/$.20 Hold 'Em tables, they seem to pop up without warning. I can't explain it. Last night as I was finishing up at around 4am, suddenly there was 3 $.10/$.20 Hold 'Em tables. I was too tired to play anymore, so I let them sit, but it is just wierd.

I did manage to get onto a 5-max $.10/$.20 Hold 'Em table last night for a while, but actually thought the competition was softer at the higher limits. I assume I was playing with some fellow 2+2 lurkers. It might also be because I was playing retard poker, limping every single hand for a couple hours. I never play like this, but due to the contributed hand requirement for the bonus, I thought I'd give it a try. I guess I did my own little clinic on why loose limps sink chips. lmao. Although I did get plenty of action when I actually did make a hand. For the session, I broke even. I think I'm only a few dozen hands from clearing the rest of the bonus. I think I'll coast it out at my regular limit rather than trying to snipe $.10/$.20 Hold 'Em tables.

I cleared it today, started at 10 and finished around 5 with some breaks in between. I was 5 tabling the .5-.10 nl games and would limp as many hands as possible. Seemed to work great, if you hit you win and if not you fold costing you 10 cents. I thought it was a great whore and thanks for the heads up.

Saw 3 .1/.2 tables on Casino.net for the first time in about 5 days. I also got my Neteller withdrawal after 4 business days. Sportingbet.com was much faster in getting my withdrawal- just 24 hours. I'm going to start another Boss Media site tonight, now that Webdollar is allowing me to play it (Sportingbet doesn't use Webdollar, so no deposit problems if you move on to them after Casino.net).

Has anyone received the KSPoker bonus doing micros? I Signed up last night after doing the casino.net bonus and 2-tabled for about 3 1/2 hours (1 5 max, 1 full table). I don't know how many hands, but with the 5 max table (which sometimes got down to 3 handed), I played a crapload of hands, and I would have thought that would have been enough to at least release the $30.

08-18-2005, 03:57 PM
KSpoker's bonus is different than Casino.net's or Sportingbet.com. It's $25 after playing 250 raked hands, and then $75 after playing a further 750 raked hands. There is a slight chance you've hit the $25 bonus. If their software is like the other Boss media software, there is a live chat you can use to ask support how many raked hands you've played.

Yes, the software is worse than I thought it was. lol. The first $30 popped up automatically, but I bet I played at least 100 hands extra clearing the rest of it. I kept peeking at the main screen to see when it cleared, but it didn't budge. Finally, after one of the "routine" crashes of their software, I completely rebooted my computer and restarted the software, and the bonus was cleared. Go figure.

On the bright side, these games have to be the softest I've seen in weeks, as long as I can dodge the fellow 2+2 rounders.

08-18-2005, 06:14 PM
I chatted with a customer service rep on K's poker and if what they said is to be believed, then a blind does not count as a contribution UNLESS YOU SEE A FLOP. Thus, if you are in the BB, and it is checked to you, and you go to the flop, the hand is a raked hand, even if you fold on the flop without contributing. Assuming this is true, if you are playing the 10 cent-20 cent table, there is no hand not worth completing the small blind with in an unraised pot.

Sorry guys. Thx for the feedback tho. I was literally playing like a maniac, because playing $.10/$.20, it's like playing the "play money" tables. When I move up to $1/$2 and up, I calm down a lot. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I know one of you guys did the "sup bro". I shoulda eased off a little, especially since I was on your left. I didn't want to be a jerk to my buddies on here. I just forgot. Next time, I'll ease off if you give me a "sup bro" or "brown trout is sinking" whatever. lol

I guess my zaniness was due to the boringness of just limping every hand. I want to "mix it up". You should have seen the trash I was playing that was taking down HUGE pots, 73o unimproved comes to mind. lmao. My superaggressive method had +EV as well, I think I was up 100-200 BBs playing the dime tables. Although, it had to be over 1k hands. I actually folded some trash UTG, just because it's impossible to play that crap.

I've cleared the bonus there, so you won't have me to kick around anymore anyway. But, good luck to those guys who are still whoring it. Just kick a new stinkhole into those 5-max dime tables tho, seriously, it's +EV. If anything, you get the whole table on tilt, then it's whiffleball.

Every time I fill in all my information on step 1, it just returns me to step 1 with all my information still there and no error codes.

I only have one neteller, so that confused me. I called webdollar, and was told it's an issue on their end and should be corrected within a few hours. So off to Total Poker I go, where upon registering I get a different error message stating that "We're sorry, but you can only register up to 3 new users per software installation. Limit exceeded."
