So:

if i do my reload bonus on the 22nd, the raked hands (300 of them) will go towards clearing this BS (at 30x raked/$1) before they go towards the reload (at 10x raked), right?

this is a big stinky pile of crap bonus, no? should i email them and ask that it be taken out of my account? i am concerned about recent empire whore bannings, so i usually play a few hundred hands before and after i clear the reload- this is just gonna make me look like MORE of a whore.

empire sucks ass. thoughts?

ya EMPIRE is just a bunch of money grubbers, then are trying to CLOP YOU UP SO YOU HAVE TO PLAY THERE.

tHEY will problaly make more then 10 bucks off you when you play 300 hands.


I am worried now and think I need to check my accounts to make sure they didn;t pull that crap on me

THEY ARE IDIOTS

You sure it's not stackable? I thought I read somewhere that party and skins bonuses are all stackable... But I could be way off base. I am new to whoring.

You're getting screwed here, but can't you just wait until after the 25th, let the $10 bonus expire, and then do the regular Empire reload?

He's not worried about not getting the reload, he just doesn't want to have to play 300 hands to clear a measly $10 just so he can go on to the reload.

It's complete BS, and I think I'd try to have them remove it. Or maybe if all there is in your account is the $10, just go lose it all at a NL table, and maybe that will get rid of the bonus.

ordinarily, yes- usually, i wait until the very end of a reload peroid before i make my deposit (less whores playing), but this time, i can't; I leave for a vacation on the 23rd, and was planning on dpositing and playing 1k hands to clear the reload all on the 22nd. this adds 300 hands to that, and 1000 was marginal already.

empire's a bunch of k-holes.

They are giving you $10 and you are complaining. Sounds like a "You might be a bonus whore if" type thing.

It doesn't matter when you deposit for the regular reload, simply deposit between the 22nd and 24th, and then wait to clear the regular bonus until after the 25th.

I would complain too. Consider if they gave you $1 and you had to play 1 million hands to clear, before you were able to do the reload. Much more dramatic, but you get the picture.

yes, it does. i will be hiking/surfing (sans computer) from the 23rd till the fifth, so i was planning on doing the reload (1k hands) on the 22nd. now it's 1,300 hands.

whatever. it's really not that big of a deal, i suppose i'll just clear those 300 raked hands this weekend sometime- but one would think that somebody in their promotions department would figure that this kinda screws with the reload.

...and 30x raked/$1 isn't even as good as rakeback at 2/4 and 3/6(which i do not have at empire, so clearing such a bad $10 bonus bonus instead of playing eurobet actually costs me money). bastards.
