Interpoker hat + book

[benkath1]

Anybody else doing this bonus? 300 hands for hat and 700 for SS2. Looks like minimum rake is .05.

Sorry if this isn't Bonus Whores approved.

[SteveM]

I'm pretty sure the RH requirement varies by person. I have to play one more hand than than my last month's (over 5000) total to get both the hat and book. You're getting a much better deal!

[thesharpie]

How did you find out about this offer? I've only ever played in their casino, you think I'll be able to get in on it?

[Deathbear]

I got an e-mail about it earlier today. It looks account specific.

[Sniper]

The number of raked hands required for this bonus was account specific and requires a specific number of raked hands more than you played there in August.

700 hands for me...

"At the beginning of the month in an email titled “September News and Promotions” we sent you the required number of hands* you need to play throughout September in order to qualify for these special prizes. If you do not have this email please mail Ryan Hartley at Ryanh@InterPoker.com and he’ll let you know your required number of hands.

*PLEASE NOTE that ALL raked hands (we take a minimum of 5c – equivalent of only a $1 pot) count towards this promotion." <font color="blue"> </font>

700 hands for SS2 screams good deal to me, even if i have to play on the crypto software with their players.

Working on this bonus right now, and I don't have a problem with their players.... they are just as bad as the rest.

Glad I played in the casino instead of the poker room. Just over 300 hands for the hat and 700 for the book. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[DocMartin]

Im in for 1620 and 2020 this month. (I played a bunch of hands on cowboy weekend for an extra $150 worth of KK)

[Lurker4]

300 for hat and 700 for SS2, didn't play there all last month. Looks like a great deal even though I already have SS2, I don't care.

I suspect this will be a new ploy on their part...each month they will have new products that you can get free by playing a certain number of hands. The number will always be higher than the prior month's play...so they hope to gradually ramp up your play over time.

This is a great marketing ploy if they can continue to have good prizes...but the best strategy as a whore might be to play in months where the prize is something you want. In the other months, clear the bonus in the casino...which may reset your required hands to the default level.

Just because you clear the bonus for the hat and book, you are still eligible for the normal monthly bonus. If I am not mistaken, they clear simultaneously...so it really is a decent offer in that regard.

if it stacks then more power to it and im going to shut my loud mouth

[slipoker]

What limit do you have to clear the bonus at? Is there a requirement?

[SteveM]

Yes, it clears at the same time as the regular monthly.

[GoCubsGo]

This sounds like a pretty good deal. About $120 value between the bonus and the book for 700 raked hands. Will I be able to clear this okay at $50NL Hold 'Em or should I stick to Party and Boss skins?

Just saw at Bonus Whores that they're offering a $100 for 1250 hand sign up bonus. Says it stacks on top of the monthly bonus. Do my raked hands count towards both bonues, or do I first have to clear one bonus before I can start working towards the next?

[GoCubsGo]

The word over at the BW forum is that the bonus takes a really long time to clear. If they take rake from all hands with a $1 pot, that seems like it would go pretty quick. I'd say more than half of the hands at $50 NL would be raked and the bonus would clear at a decent speed. What am I missing?

[froggy527]

They have started a new policy that gives 1/4 point for
a raked hand under a dollar. So at least now you get a little something.

In my e-mail it states:

*Remember that the hands counted in this promotion (where ANY rake is taken) is NOT the same level of rake required to clear your monthly match bonus. Click here for the full details of how to clear your monthly bonus. Hand counts end Midnight ET on September 30th, 2005.

I am assuming that any raked hands counts towards this promotion.

Interestingly, I need to only play 936 hands to get both the hat and the book. This should be pretty easy. I will probably only need to play ~200 extra hands than I will to clear the monthly @ $2/4.

[bkholdem]

It is my understanding that you don't have to notify anyone after doing the number of hands, they just automatically credit you and send you the stuff. Is this correct?
