Guys,

I can't really use BW site to save my life. The bonus's and codes it offers i assume make BW money.

Anyhow they hardly mention what stakes you need to clear it and stuff so i wanted to know what bonus's you've cleared and ones you recommend.

Personally i recommend:
Sportingbet.com $100 bonus (100raked hands)
casino.Net (Same as sportingbet - Skin)
Expekt - $100 bonus for 100raked hands(Rake = .25cents)

Now i've got like $600+ to use to bonuswhore, I just want a site i can login to quickly and maybe clear it by the end of the day.

Anyone has any recommendations ? You've seen mine.

Use BW. Even if they make money, they deserve it. They provide a good service and deserve your consideration. It doesn't cost you anything to work through them.

Hmmm aren't the first two supposed to be 500 raked hands? 100 raked hands for 30$ and 400 for the rest? And the Expekt is still non-US right?

I e-mailed Expekt a few days ago and they are still "Non-US"

I highly recommend Poker Plex if you play sufficient limits. A lot of these whoring sites have terrible software and ugly graphics and I end up playing worse because of that. Poker Plex was refreshing. The software was easy to use and the graphics were clean. I had heard that Cryptos had poor software but didn't find this to be true at all. Also, the bonus was $50 for 300 dealt hands. Not a big bonus but it only took about an hour to clear.

I have a few questions about Poker Plex myself. I read that there is a $1 fee to withdraw funds. Is this true? Also, how long do I have to wait to withdraw funds? If I deposited this morning and cleared the bonus, can I take my money out now? And, finally, do you have to take steps to aovid them knowing its the same person, or can you have multiple accounts at Crypto skins?

You will have to wait for a PIN number to come in the mail (usually 5-10 days in the States) before you can cash out. As far as accounts at different skins, I don't believe that is an issue (I have accounts at all the Crypto skins and have never had any problems).

Edit: Yes, there is a $1 fee for any withdrawl.

I'm guessing this is a way to bypass the $1 fee? So instead of cashing out $600, I cash out $600.01?

[/ QUOTE ]Say you have $600.52, what you would do is cash out $599.01. $600 would hit your Neteller and your account balance would show .51 on PokerPlex.

In your example, you would cash out 598.01 and 599 would hit your Neteller and you would have .99 in your account.

I have been 3-4 tabling sportingbet.com for over 14 hours over the past few days and I still haven't cleared the bonus. I think it is contributed hands and not raked hands. Which is annoying. Luckily the rooms are filled with terrible players, but on the downside there are no statistics or player notes. I would not recommend the site for whoring. JMHO

It's contributed hands. For easy clearing, go to 5-max.

And to the original poster, there's a "best bonii" list at ultimatepokerbankroll.com i worked my way through if you're looking for bonuses.

10-06-2005, 05:09 PM
Thank you, I will play more hands pre-flop. I will also check out the website you mentioned.

The only real whoring value of Boss sites is for guys playing less than .5/1 limit. If you play .5/1 or higher there is a lot of better sites.

Hey,
just confused I went to sportingbet.com and saw that you only get $30 for 100 raked, and then $70 when u complete another 400 hands... is this something new?

Also, hard or easy to cash out?

I agree that the risk is lower since you can clear the bonus at micro limits. However, the hourly rate appears just horrible. I'm at 18.5 hours now (3-4 tabling) and it still hasn't cleared.

Yes, the players are terrible, but I can find terrible players elsewhere. I have never played at a site without statistics and player notes before this. Particularly frustrating as a whore is that I have no idea if I'm even close to clearing my bonus or not. If I'm not even close, I would head elsewhere. I have tried contacting their 24/7 live support many times, but they have NEVER been open......

I stand by my statement that I wouldn't recommend this site for whoring purposes. Yes there are bad players and yes you can clear bonuses at micro limits, but I think you would be better off at Party Poker or Bodog. JMHO

You can have an account on all the cryptos you want. You have to wait until you get a letter from the ECASH people to take your money out though. Hopefully you have enough to whore elsewhere while you while you wait as it will take a week. Never tried that 1.01 trick, I'll have to try it out.

10-08-2005, 02:36 PM
I'm up to 22 hours of 3-4 tabling at sportingbet.com and the bonus still hasn't cleared. That is 66-88 hours equivalent for a one tabler.

I will do better research before I whore new sites in the future.

10-08-2005, 02:52 PM
I logged in today and it shows my bonus has finally cleared. I'm positive it still said pending when I logged out last session. Maybe it doesn't show up instantly. Either way it probably took 21-22 hours to clear the bonus playing at 3-4 tables at a time. In case anyone is wondering about sportingbet.com

This is crazy. Do you have like a 5% VP$IP or something? Admittedly, I played a good chunk of 5-max in the process of doing it, but I pretty much played my regular game and finished the bonus in a few nights of 4-tabling (probably like 8 hours).

This question's been asked a million times but I don't feel like searching. Can you have multiple accounts on Boss sites such as Sportingbet and Casino.net? Can I use the same email address and computer and everything? Thanks.

Hi guys, Apoligise for my mis-Information

Spoerting bet - 500 CONTRIBUTED RAKE. PLAY EVERY HAND DEALT TO YOU AND PLAY 3-4TABLES - IT WILL CLEAR FAST.

CASINO.NET - YES YOU CAN DO BOTH, USE THE SAME TACTICS.

Remember - YOU PLAY EVERY HAND AT THESE SITES FOR BONUS CLEARENCE, Dont continue this into your actual poker game(Duh...).

Im just looking to clear http://www.galapoker.co.uk/promotions.html but not sure if its the same bonus or not.

The withdrawals were quick on sportingbet.com, Casino.net took a bit longer and i was mailed a code incase i withdraw more than $500.

You only need $40 at Sporitng bet and casino.net then leave with $140+ Once you cleared it.

100%VPIP for the bonus clearence is the way to go trust me.

10-08-2005, 05:11 PM
Thanks POHKeR, I signed up to sporting bet with 40$ and am up 20 in one hour with 200 raked hands. I play everything and chase everyhting

Full houses with 83o, straights with 93o, flush with J2s. The only bad part is that I fear I will get use to playing so badly when I move on:)

On a side note: I don't think I'd ever stay there. The software is "eh" at best. Either that or Im just not use to it. On the good note, it tells you what hand you have. Something really useful for donks like me that fold straights because they dont realize they have them:)

POKhER
10-08-2005, 05:54 PM
Dont chase UNLESS YOU HAVE ODDS.

So you play good poker, But the only thing you change is every time preflop you call 1 bet.

If its raised, Fold(Unless u have premium hand then you play good poker of course).

Its good fun, puts you into situations. DONT LEARN BAD POKER FROM IT, PLAYING EVERY HAND IS -EV. Just for clearence purposes.

Enjoy.

10-08-2005, 06:19 PM
I already posted this in another thread, but according to sportingbet.com's T&C, "Only hands played on $1 & $2 real money tables will count towards the number of hands played to claim the bonus."

I myself haven't done this bonus yet (I was about to), but I just came across this in the T&C. Anyone know if this is a new change, or what?

I was under the impression that this "play everything" tactic worked because you would only play micro limits (.10/.20) to clear the contributed raked hands requirement.

Any ideas?

10-08-2005, 06:34 PM
Sportingbet.com i assume you saw this on their website? On contact with their support(Phone) the guy said not to quote him on it but thats related to sporting bet and not the casino section(Poker).

I cleared it and the TC also said this, however i cleared in 500 hands and were given my bonus.

by playing 100% VPIP on casino.net i lost $12, By playing 100$ on sportingbet.com i won $40 extra.

Its +EV to risk it even if they have changed it (And im 90% sure they havent).

You can always cash out your $40 or whatever.

Enjoy.

10-08-2005, 06:57 PM
I also saw the 1$/2$ in the terms and conditions.
The bonus clears by 30$ for the first 100 raked hands, and the other 70 after another 400 raked hands. Im playing the .10 cent blinds and have already cleared the first 30. So its not in reference to NL games.

10-08-2005, 08:16 PM
Is there somewhere on there that shows how many raked hands you have so far? Now I'm interested in trying this bonus again.

There are no statistics at the site. Also their "24/7" live support is NEVER open. Maybe try the telephone or email to contact them.....Best of luck to you in that regard.

Sporting bet takes about 24 hours to hit Neteller the others take longer by days. By the way if you would
have done a little research you would have found that
the way to play these bonuses are to play the micro
limits and play a lot of hands.

Your giving people a bum steer by saying it takes 22
hours to clear these bonuses! It took me a little
longer that some people because I won't lower my play
just to clear a bonus. But by playing five max you can
open up and play which I did and I still managed to
clear the bonus no problem. Also playing against the bad
players I was able to win a pretty good bit extra!

I got a note book and marked my raked hands. So with very
little effort I was able to keep track of my hands!

Ya, the 24/7 is never immediatly open. If you wait in line for the 5 mins the representative will tell you how many hands you've played. Its not that big a hassle as per you can still play poker while waiting in line.

I will do better research in the future. I wasn't trying to mislead anyone by telling the truth about how long it took me to clear the bonus. My reason for posting that was so that other people could decide for themselves if the bonus was worth whoring. I did not play many hands pre-flop, because I didn't think it would be profitable to change my playing strategy. Also I didn't want to pick up any bad habits.

My money did hit Neteller in about 24 hours.

I will do better research in the future. Thanks to everyone for sharing their ideas and giving helpful feedback.
