Just when you thought there were no more Tricks or
Treats left. We are offering you a blood curdling 50%
Reload Bonus on your True Poker chip purchases
made from Oct 26th through Oct 31st!
Simply make a deposit before Oct 31st @ 11:59 p.m.
CDT and get a horrifying 50% extra (up to $100 on
your first reload deposit, paid at $5 per 100 raked hands).
For example, if you deposit $200, we'll credit your
account with $100!
You have 30 days from the date of your reload deposit
to play the Raked Hands required to pay out your bonus
Happy Halloween!
DAMNIT - why do all the sites require 20 times play through suddenly? Ill have to pass on this one too!

Yeah - but im not a first time depositer - im an oldie. But I will not do a 20 time playthrough - not at empire - not at party - not at multipoker - and then of course not on your site either!
Do the old 10 times playthrough and I will be back!

It is just the way these sites are adjusting. The Party split caused the whole online poker world to change. There is going to be some times of experiment and that is what we are going through right now. Try to hit up all the sign-up bonuses as most of them are still reasonable.

So, where do you play, why and can we compete on that basis for your business ?

I've got a couple quick questions about the bonus.
Does it stack on the first time deposit bonus?
Do you not earn True Points while clearing bonuses? Because my status level is going up but I'm not getting any True Points but on your website it seems like True Points are the same as the status level points but you don't earn them clearing a bonus?

Well - as for now Im playing the paradise bonus that is 100 hands for 10 $ - that is 10 times playthrough.
Therefore I will not play any 20 playthroughs....
I deposited after your free condom offer,and have been doing very well at your LHE games.
One thing I absolutly hate is the $.50/1.00 blinds on your $25 buy-in PL O/8 games. /images/graemlins/confused.gif
Sorry for being misleading. I meant game not games. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

I would take advantage of a 10x bonus at TruePoker, but 20x is just not that enticing. Too many other bonuses out there in the 5x-10x range. Wish I had more time to get to all these bonuses /images/graemlins/cool.gif

I play predominantly at Absolute and the Pokerroom skins, as the bonuses at $2/4 and $3/6 act as 70%-100% rakeback.
I will also chase bonuses around the internet, as I have recently at various Prima and Crypto skins and Paradise.

No one is going to play at your site with 20X requirement. There are better deals out there.

i think he is saying he doesnt want people playing at his site JUST for bonuses. That will lose him money.

I would of liked to have done this promotion. I'm one of those crazy players who actually kinda likes their software, and the last time I played there there were some exciting games. But a 20x is only doable for me after hell freezes over, thaws out, and then freezes over again. No thankyou TruePoker.

And he emphazises it with a huge increase in the rake.....
They surely dont like their customers - they only like the MONEY!
what do you have to say about the rake increace "TRUEPOKER CEO" is the greed getting to you. in your previous posts you talk about how you take care of your players. is this how you repay us. do you have no mercy on the degenerate gamblers who can't controll themselves and waste their money and time away from their family and life. you are "raping" the weak. with such imorral management i can only wish that GOD punishes you in his way and that the 2+2 ers punish you in thier way(never playing your site)....your site deserves to go down!!!!
i hate rake increases

Allthough pokersites/casinosites IS the major factor for there beeing compulsive gamblers - you can not remove the total responsibility from your own shoulders. When you sit down at the pokersite - YOU help creating an environment where you obviously KNOW people are losing their money. That means - YOU are one of the reasons why compulsive gamblers have a place to lose their money! So to use that argue when you are picking upon truepoker is a little pathetic......
That said - I do also believe true poker CEO should explain how they are so competitive and good to their customers while in the same breath they are charging more rake and offering less in bonus(by raising the playthrough requirements).....
Cant wait to hear from him.... /images/graemlins/wink.gif

yes 20x wr is a joke but at least now they have multi-tabling and if you play No Limit the games are easy to crush.

We are trying something new, since your collective response to our deposit bonus was underwhelming.
We are giving our losing Micro-limit players a "loss insurance" promotion. If they are in the top 100 micro-limit players, but book a net loss for November.... we will reimburse them for the loss, up to $20 each player. (If this proves popular, we can expand the idea.)
The details are on our website.

Seeing as most ppl here aren't going to lose to the low limit donkeys you have populating your tables /images/graemlins/grin.gif, I don't see how this is going to help us.
Also, 20 for a month isn't much either. I have a 10,000 sign up bonus at Hollywood poker that I can clear at $5/table/hour.
I enjoy playing at your site, but there is just too much money to be made elsewhere.

"I have a 10,000 sign up bonus at Hollywood poker that I can clear at $5/table/hour. '
Basically, that is like a prop deal for $5 per table hour ? (The size of the so-called bonus seems pretty irrelevant.) I am not saying that is a bad prop deal, but is that really a bonus ..... Any conditions on your play ?

It's really a bonus, through BW. Not that 18x points at Poker Room is my idea of pleasant, but it should still be better than 20x raked at True.

It's 18x POINTS. Meaning that if you play 5/10, it's really a 9x raked hand requirement - $3 rake = 2.1 points. Even at 3/6, most hands are raked at least $2, giving you 1.4 points per raked hand. It's significantly better than a 20x raked hand requirement, and the game selection on the PokerRoom network isn't too bad.

True. However right now I'm woking on $1400 of 7x points bonuses, so 18x doesn't sound that appealing.

I tried to send this in a PM to TP CEO but it said you have exceeded your alloted quota of PM's. Basically, you seem to be honestly interested in promoting your site and attracting new players. I would like to see you succeed since I enjoy the play on True - it's just a fun place to play.
But you will never be able to compete with the limited number of players and games you currently have and you can't attract new players with a 20x bonus.
If you really want to grow your business you need to take a deep breath and take the plunge - put out a really nice 5x or 7x bonus offer and have some faith that the quality of the game play experience and good CS will allow you to retain the new players you attract with the bonus.
To win big in this competitive environment you need to take some risk - in this case invest in an attractive bonus. I think you would be pleasantly surprised with the results.

Live and learn. Clearly, a 5x bonus will not fly in this market for reloading Bonus Whores.
We previously have offered our reload bonuses without a selective code or restrictions. Additionally, we offered payouts which were incremental, versus the "cliff" payouts on some bonuses, you did not have to complete the run to get some of the payour. We formerly had offered a 10x reload.
We likely will try something a bit selective, albeit with a higher payout rate next time.
Thanks for the feedback.
