How many of you screwed up like I did?

[froggy527]

When I first started playing I was on a mad dash to
join alot of sites to see which one I liked best! At the
time I had never even heard of the unmentionable or the
swag sites. Now I kick myself everytime think about these
missed opportunities!

One of my reasons for joining all of the different sites
was I was looking for freerolls. Since I'm off work with
a back injury I couldn't justify making a deopisit from
my bank account. So after a hell of alot of freerolls I have
managed to build my roll and start doing the bonus's.

I am wondering how many others have screwed theirself
on some of deals to be had in the world of poker? Also I
have no desire to try to rejoin a site with a fake account!
I know that some condone doing this and to tell you the
truth, I sorta enjoy reading the post's where they are
crying about getting caught and having their money seized!

I screwed up because I missed the Empire rb gravy train. I seriously screwed up there because I had been alerted by this very forum to not miss out on that . Alas, I was too lazy to look for a deal and now I'm stuck with Eurotrash.

I rectified my Crypto situation though.

So what would you suggest for a new player who is getting started? So far i'm only playing stars 9h low limit games, but am building a roll slowly.

send a message if there's anything you can't mention here.

see pm

I hear you. I signed up to a couple before playing a fair bit on those, not really knowing anything about the unmentionable (!) and bonuses. Paid for a few books, PT, chips, etc with winnings and now sorting myself out with some sort of whoring schedule (and possibly the other thing, but I know next to bugger all about that and I'm not asking questions here) to build up a bankroll with minimal risk. No point in not doing so when I'm starting in low limit games.

Gotta take the free money. But yes, even the couple of sites I have joined already it's irritating that I didn't take full advantage.

You could always close all of those accounts via email, wait a few months and try to open another legit account. They may give you the bonus, they may not.

Could you not d/l Empire from a clean computer and use a new email address to get around this. I am trying to do this right now as I have Euro and PP on my comp but want Empire on there so as to get the monthly reload which is way better than Euro. Whenever I try to login to Empire though it just hangs up and does nothing so I'm not sure if this will work or if I'm busted.

I wouldn't consider it a screw-up. Even without rakeback, online casinos are easier to beat than B&M (lower rake, no tipping), and you get regular reload bonii.

The only real "screw-up" would be not putting time and effort into playing winning poker. I've heard plenty of horror stories from folks who have concentrated more on "free money" than learning poker, and ended up losing more than what they got "free."

So instead of kicking yourself, work on your poker.

If you just want free money, casino whore. It's boring as hell, but you're less likely to lose more than you get back.

OK, I'll bite...what'd you do? I've heard one can clear bonus + RB concurrently on Interpoker, so I'm particularly interested in this.

[theben]

i totally have. i made accounts at lots of sites either too see them, or to play freerolls back when i didnt have much $ or was too cheap to play with my own money. i easily have cost myself 1000-2000 in lost bonuses because if my stupidity

OK, I learnt that I should not throw out tidbits on the forum that are mistaken as a bait.

I received 8 PMs in regard to this topic. Arbitrary as I am I have answered some and some not. I will not answer any more.

They offer it on more than half the cryptos. What's the big secret?

Anyway, I didn't screw myself much at all. I probably won't ever get RB on UltimateBet, but I think I'm good everywhere else. I had to do a little coverup for a few skins I took freerolls on that SHALL NOT BE NAMED, but everything else was easy going.

grim,

You started in the right place for someone not looking for a bonus to start. Stars doesn't offer sign-up bonsuses. Only reloads. Look at the material here, and in the stickys here and in the zoo. You can gauge where you are and where to go next for signup bonsuses. It depends a lot at what limits you can break-even or do better.
