I got this offer (obviously I don't play there as much right now)

2000 raked hands and get $50
2500 raked hands and get $62
3000 raked hands and get $75

Lets see -- 40x hands in 9 days -- how is this better than their last bonus with 20x in 10 days?

And I didn't get to see the actual requirements until I accepted the offer, which conflicts with my standing reload bonus.

I got this:

All you need to do is play, between October 27th 00:00 and November 4th 23:59 and you will get one of following prizes:

More than 5000 raked hands and get $250
More than 6250 raked hands and get $312
More than 7500 raked hands and get $375

The money will be transferred directly into your account within up to a week from the promotion end date.

T&C #6 is what concerns me:

This offer cannot be clubbed along with any other deposit / signup bonus offer. All signup/deposit bonuses during the promotion period will be deducted from the player's prize money.

I deposited $100 for the 300MATCH bonus and I have 1700 hands left to clear it by 10/30 21:00 ET. Rule six makes it sound like if I clear that, they will subtract $100 from my possible prize money of $75. Does it stop at $0 or would they actually remove $25 from my account? /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Obviously, they would remove $25 from your account.

Obviously it will stop at zero and next month you will get a bonus off of

More than 6000 hands pay us $250
More than 7000 hands pay us $350
More than 7500 hands pay us $1000

It is the new reverse rakeback only for the best customers.

I got this:

1000 hands --> $50
1250 hands --> $63
1500 hands --> $75

So it's basically a 20x bonus with no deposit requirement. Not the worst thing ever offered, but not something I'm going to bother with either since I don't play nearly this much anymore...

20x at the new Empire sucks pretty bad unless it is your regular site (and why ever would it be?).

I suggest everyone stay away until Empire starts offering decent bonuses. If you play for bad bonuses, they will never feel the need to offer good bonuses.

Empire is so generous

Empire had been my primary site until they split off. The deal I got is 20x

More than 2500 raked hands and get $125
More than 3125 raked hands and get $156
More than 3750 raked hands and get $187

If I didn't play their last 20x deal, why do they think I'll play this one? I regretted playing their last 10x bonus! For me, this isn't a no deposit bonus because I don't have any money in their site! This is clearly a site I wouldn't recommend to my friends.

I sent them this email (self-explanatory):

You send me an email offering me a promotion. When I respond you say I
am not eligible. When I inquire further, you ignore my email. From
what I have heard, this is a pretty lousy promotion anyway; but I have
to admit that I am fascinated by the way you do business. Do you really
have so many loyal customers that you can afford to alienate them at
this time?

10-27-2005, 01:22 AM

Same thing happened to me even though I clicked through the pop-up. Then it occured to me that my screen name (which I entered at the web site) WAS NOT the same as my account name which I checked by clicking on the cashier and seeing what it was.... Once I put in that name, it let me in.

Hope this helps /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I had been having difficulty entering email addy...

Finally managed it....to be shown this....

I have 246 hands left for the $300 bonus and that will probably be me done for Empire for the immediate future....I'd rather play at UB ..

10-27-2005, 04:45 AM

I didn't do the reload bonus, but based on the fact that you have to agree to the T&C before it shows you what you might "rake" in, I am fearful for those who have not yet completed the reload bonus who DID click through to see the page, that they may be in deep do do......

I had the same problem. Then I realised that this form was case sensitive (ungochrik didn't work but UngOchRik did). The usual login form on empire isn't case sensitive afaik. I got this offer:

More than 7000 raked hands and get $350
More than 8750 raked hands and get $437
More than 10500 raked hands and get $525

I'll most likely pass on this one.

10-27-2005, 10:45 AM

My "offer" worked out to 40x

No thanks, think I'll pull out of Empire all together now.

Dex

10-27-2005, 06:48 PM

I got:

More than 10000 raked hands and get $450
More than 12500 raked hands and get $562
More than 15000 raked hands and get $675

And then I stared at the monitor with an expression on my face that effectively said, "you're joking, right?"

These bonuses are not so bad... they are just 2 months late.

I played the Multi 20x bonuses with joy. Added 8-10% on top of my rakeback.

So now you can get maybe 40% rakeback at Empire.

I just wish the games were as good as they used to be.

Yeah, but 10000 raked hands in a week? Come on.

Wabby

If the upside is huge enough, some of us DO play 10k raked hands in a week.

But that is not the case here.

10-28-2005, 03:57 AM

Problem is even in a little $25 PL/NL game you can't even get the 4 callers for 25 cents, it's soooo tight. My tables at Party are raking 9 out of 10 hands, my tables at Empire are raking like 4 of 10 if I'm lucky.....

I'm sure I'll clear the 2500 hands for the $125, then shoot higher for the bigger bucks, but it will drag on and on getting there.

Yep. No problems with doing this. Finally cleared the MATCH300 bonus despite clicking on the T&C of the no deposit bonus. Bonus cleared, cashout pending.

I got the same deal 2.5cents/raked hand. Not horrible, but not exciting either. If they tripled it, I'd probably play there a bit.
