I got ripped off $50 at paradise!

[Felipe]

I got ripped off $50 worth of bonus money at paradise. I did a "first25" bonus (25%>$50) and then the TREAT bonus (25%>$100) right after. But then I found out about the last point in their fine print. So I am only eligible for $100 halloween bonus. Here's a copy:

from Paradise Deposit Terms (http://www.paradisepoker.com/promotions/deposit_terms.html) :

Deposit Bonus Terms and Conditions
1. Maximum bonus over the 3 days is $100.

2. This bonus will be applied on your first $400 of purchases (cumulative) made between 12:01am EDT, October 29th and 11:59pm PST, October 31st, 2005.

3. The bonus will be added to the pending credit portion of your Paradise account to be paid out to your available balance at a rate of $10 per 100 raked games played. A raked game is defined as any game in which the table was raked a minimum of $0.25.

4. In the case of single table tournaments, players will earn 1 point for every dollar paid in tournament fees. For 1-on-1 tournaments with less than a $1 fee, players will still get 1 point. In the case of multi-table tournaments, players will earn points equal to 10% of the value of their buy-in; fractional points will always be rounded up.

5. This deposit bonus is not valid in conjunction with any other current Paradise Poker deposit bonus promotion.

So, you're saying you ripped yourself off...?

Dumb ass. Read the rules

While it sucks, I don't see how they ripped you off. They didn't take anything from you.

Maybe try emailing them and ask if you can get the $100 bonus instead...

Paradise may have changed their T&Cs - I did the same thing as you a couple of months ago with no problem. Can't blame anyone for that.

Did you actually check your pending bonuses to see if you got credited anyway? Someone else in that thread said they got them both.

And in any case, you will like playing at Paradise - the players are really bad.

I like the way they give an extra 3 hours for the bonus period.

It starts midnight Eastern time but ends midnight Pacific time.
