Cleared my first bonus!

Just cleared the $100 bonus at Total Poker. I bought in for thirty and now I haev $154.83. Started it last night, got about 300 hands in then went to bed, then finished up this morning!

This was my first time playing Limit, especially that low. Last night I 2 tabled .10/.20 and made about $7 profit. Then today there were 3 tables open so I 3 tabled .10/.20 limit and went negative, but I played one of their $20 heads up matches and won, lots of fun.

Now I can't wait to clear the other newbie ones, they are fun and easy too! I did not expect them to be that easy but it really is!

The next one I want to do is Sportingbet Poker because I heard they offer the same $100 bonus as Total Poker. Can anyone give me a link to this site, when I search in google multiple places turn up.

Wow, not a bad bonus. Site looks small though

After playing 100 raked hands you will receive $30 free. Then if you play an further 400 raked hands you will receive an additional $70 free. Totalling $100 free for playing 500 raked hands.

Yeah and raked hands are just seeing the flop, so I played .10/.20 /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks for the link, it looks like this one is an extra $30!

Hell, I have $100 in neteller.... guess I'll see all you WEAK-TIGHT BONUS WHORES over on total poker this week. That's right, I called you WEAK-TIGHT... whatcha gonna do about it?!?!?! hmmmmm????

Forget .10/.20 limit. Try .05/.10 NL. A whole lot more profit, worth seeing almost any hand. Really soft. And yes, despite any T&C it does qualify.

Casino.net is your next target.

So is there a required deposit amount for sporting bet to get the max bonus?

Thanks MrMon I will go to Casino.net next if they offer the same bonus in the same format. I have almost cleared SportingBet Poker as well.

Will .05/.10 NL count towards my raked hands because someone told me in NL the rake must be >1, and in the limit you just need to see the flop.

Also, are all three of these, SportingBet, Casino.net and TotalPoker monthly? So if I got all three of them on say September 25th I can do them again on October 25th? Thanks



After I get Casino.net done I should take a look at Homer's thread and see where to head next, thanks for all the help thus far!

Question for Nivek, or anyone else who has done TotalPoker and/or related sites...how quick is the cash out time?

Thanks.

P.S. I'm also in Illinois /images/graemlins/smile.gif

.05/.10 NL does count. At least it did last week.

These are one time bonuses. Not monthly.

Cashout is 3-5 business days. Usually 5.

After the 3 Boss Network bonuses, you'll go to Bet365 if you can make it before the end of September and can play 1/2. That combined with Casino365 is very lucrative. You'll need a bankroll of $200. I'll write a thread on those two combined in a day or so.

Thanks MrMon please do because I am going to clear the 2nd one by the end of today and have a BR of about $280, then I will do Casino.net and hopefully get that done in a couple of days, because my play time is significantly decreased during the weekdays.

Thanks a ton!

Is total poker raked hands or contributed raked hands. This bonus seems to be clearing far too slow for 5X

You have to contribute to the pot. Just to keep track
I use the old four marks with a slash thru it.

Just completed my first whoring! Finished Casino.net with a nice little profit on top of the bonus. Requested cashout yesterday (Monday) nothing yet.

Also, have a question:
I downloaded totalpoker and when trying to deposit using neteller instacash it gave me an error code - must use same neteller acct, etc. so I contacted support and they said problem should be fixed so I tried again... didn't get the error and webdollar looked like it was trying to process my request but the software crashed before it completed. Didn't want to try again without first making sure it didn't hit my bank account. Anyone have this problem? I checked today and nothing showing on Neteller or my bank account, so I'll try again when I get home from work.

[tomdemaine]

that happened to me too the told me to talk to neteller?? No idea what neteller is suposed to do about it.
