View Full Version : bet365 $100 September Bonus


09-18-2005, 11:20 AM
Hi, just a quick note to let you guys know that bet365 are doing a september bonus -

$10 for each 50 raked hands. no deposit or minimum balance required.

I've heard they've already credited some accounts without playing the hands, so go check you account balance there. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Anyway, it's a decent bonus, even if their software is horrible.

Very easy bonus to clear.

What is wrong with their software?

I see that said about all Prima rooms.

09-18-2005, 05:41 PM
my main problems :

buttons are in bad positions, i prefer one line, like stars.

table and avatars look really ugly.

it's built on internet explorer and javascript, which is horrible to use and potentially insecure. I get script errors fairly often, esp on peoples profiles.

no instant hand history (unless i missed it)

however,

support staff are pretty good.

bonuses are nice, and requirements are easy.

I'll play the bonus but won't stay.

thanks

I can't even download the software... I had a friend try and he couldn't download it either, it just stops at 1.2-1.8Mb and doesn't finish downloading the whole file... does someone have the install file still?

Thanks.

Hand history is stored on your hard drive. If you use PokerTracker, use the Prima option to read it.

same problem for me, just cancel and download again, it should resume where it paused. Keep doing this until it finally finishes

Wow - I just tried from my girlfriends computer and it worked.

Or you could goto menu >raked hands on your table window to find out your current raked hands (they do delay a good 10-15 minutes though.)
Whatever is more convenient i guess..

You get one raked hand point for each pot you've seen cards for that meets $4.

very quick at $0.50/1 and higher. Will take a while at $0.25/0.50 and less.

After depositing and getting the bonus, does it ever expire?

You do need to play the 500 raked hands. In fact, you must e-mail or call customer support to have your bonus credited to your account. It's kind of a pain, but I had no problem getting my bonus credited after e-mailing them. Did take about 24 hours for a response though.

this one is definately the next one on my list. Too bad I can't get the unmentionable there, can I?

Sorry, I think I didn't write my question clearly enough.

How long do you have to clear the bonus? 30 days, 10 days, forever...?

As far as I can tell there is no expiration on the Bonus.

I already have an account at bet365casino, can I still get the sign-up bonus at the poker side?

No.

The bonus expires Sept. 30. You can claim it 50 hands at a time. First 250 hands will get you $100, the next 250 will get you another $50. Email support to claim.

Be sure and hit the casino at the same time for a nice $200.

Not true. I signed up for 'it' before clearing this bonus.

Has anyone had any problems getting the money in their account? I have done the required 500 raked hands at $1/2. I have emailed their support twice and have yet to even get a response. I just think Prima hates me.

I think I had to email twice. If you email in the middle of the night, it seems to get lost. Got it second time no problem.

I got my money but now I can not withdraw it from within neteller. I hate Prima.

If anyone has not signed up for Bet365, sign up with them before the month is over and do this bonus.

At 250 raked hands request your sign up bonus, and you'll get $50 for that. Then once you hit a total of 500 raked hands request your Sept. bonus, and you get another $100.

That's $150 for 500 raked hands, which is a 3.333x playthrough. Probably the best bonus available right now.

09-25-2005, 12:53 PM
If you were to only play 250 raked hands, you would get $100, or basically a 2.5X bonus.

Un. Beatable. Period.

Yes you can. Call customer support and ask for details. You basically have to open up your neteller account and then request a merchant transfer.

Pretty easy, and once you request the transfer you get the money very quickly. I think I had it within 15 minutes. If requesting the transfer through the NETeller website is why it was so fast I wish every site would do this.
