View Full Version : Bet 365 question

I'm eyeing up Bet365's sign up bonus as well as the October bonus. My question is about the raked hands - on the sign up conditions page, it says "a raked hand is one where... a rake is taken of 25c and above". On the page for the october bonus, on the other hand, it says $1/$2 is the lowest limit possible to clear.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get this other $100 by playing .5/1, like I know some sites do, or are they strict on this?
Thanks

applies. That means you have to play 1/2 limit(or 0.5/1 NL) AND 25 cents should be taken. But I m not sure.

I've begun tackling this bonus, along with the October $100 by playing micro NL tables.

I've read that some users have claimed the bonus this way, but some haven't. My rake counter on the main screen has been going up steadily, although painfully slowly at these limits, (My bankroll is small. Lots of funds tied up from Boss sites atm.)

It's worth a shot at lower limits, at the very least the tables appear to be pretty soft.

signup can be cleared at .5-1 limit.
reload must be 1-2 limit or 1NL

I heard they do, but seeing as I'm playing .5/1 it won't for me.

The signup can be cleared at 0.25/0.5 too, right? Only the rake must be >0.25 so it might take a while longer.

I was able to clear both the $50 signup bonus and the $100 October bonus at the $0.50/$1.00 limit. A pot size of $5 is required.

When I joined last month the sign-up and reload did clear at the same time. As long as you play 1/2 Limit or or .5/1 NL you shouldn't have a problem.

FYI... you are allowed 1 withdrawl every 30 days any more then that and they start charging you ($35 at pop I think /images/graemlins/shocked.gif) so plan accordingly.

They did not clear at the same time for me. Below is part of the email I rec'd from their CS dept:

I cleared all $150 at .10/.20 NL. Took a few days.

Anyone know if there are affiliates who offer rakeback at this site?

RoyalRakeBack.com claim to. After an initial email from them explaining how to set up an account and what info they needed so they could track my rake (Friday), I have heard nothing since. Also no reply to a follow up email Monday. If I hear from them in the next couple of days I'll let you know...

There had been a suggestion that they might be suspect but PokerAddict from RRR says it was a misunderstanding (check out my recent thread).
