I don't know what paradise is doing now, but over Thanksgiving break i cleared a bonus. I started, unknowing they were taking 0.50 out of each pot, regardless of pot size, for a bad beat pot. over the 1500 hands i played on .5/1 FL, I figured i payed about $75 to the bad beat pot. I'm not sure if they are still running the bad beat pot, but I wish I hadn't played there. It sux to steal the blinds, and only make $0.25, which happens a lot at this tight site.

For the record, I find Paradise to be incredibly soft, especially at .5/1.

Is this a joke?

And to the original poster -- Paradise has always released bonuses for me over the past year using a 100 raked hands (> .25) non-contributed --> $10 released scale.

This is untrue.

Is Pokernews.com a reputable affiliate to do this with.

You don't even have to click through the affiliate. Just download Paradise and use the Pokernews bonus on your deposit. You may have to email them to get the bonus.

It's the same as the old "Granny" bonus.

Tight? Loosest site I've ever played. If they had HH's written to the HD, I'd play there all the time. Emailing for my last 100 hands every 15 minutes is a bitch.

What is untrue about it? Maybe it isn't tight, but that was my impression from playing there, but like i said it was only 1500 hands. Most people were folding pf, but the play was still pretty soft. And the part about the bad beat rake? That was definitely true. Why would I just make [censored] up?

From what I've seen the players at Paradise will give the
players at Party a run for their money on being the
worst players around!

this is at .50/1 limit or $25 no limit.

i used it in 8/05, cleared fast.

Yeah, definitely. Paradise at times is at least as soft as Party, sometimes softer.

Yep, not uncommon there. I hit a $40 one yesterday at .50/1. People raise/call with crap. It's wonderful.

Thanks everybody for your input, it is appreciated.

ya, im confused. it can't be 1,000 raked hands =10bucks, but at 100 hands = 10bucks would mean that 1,000 total raked hands would need to be played to get the whole bonus not 500as OP says. Unless after the first half the last 50 is given???? so how many hands would be needed to get the full 100 bucks?

also, after you use the code does the bonus have to be cleared in 30 days? (i'm going out of town for a bit soon and would have to do it in about 5 days which would be alot of poker for me).

100 raked hands = $10 released is the correct release rate.

Paradise bonuses never expire, and always stack very nicely.
