I've read a lot of posts complaining about sites in the Prima Poker Network, and I'm tired of hearing all the negatives, so here is my personal experience.

About 1 1/2 mth ago, I had busted out of stars when, short on money, I stumbled accross Lucky Nugget Poker. I read that they give a free $10 for signing up. I signed up and got the free $10. In about 2 weeks I built that up to 2200. I played mostly .50/1 and nl .25/.50. The games were that good! Guarantee you I couldn't have done that on Pokerstars. So I go to cashout 200. I was nervous that I wouldn't see any of this money. Well I get an email requesting documentation. I didn't enjoy doing that, but fkn hell, I want my money so I'll do it. BTW, I had been asked for this type of ducumentation before, usually from online sportsbooks. So believe me when I say that they are not alone in asking for this information. This is standard at a lot of sites. Anyway, I scanned my licence and a utility bill, and sent this in an email. Wallah, the money was in my bank account in 3 days. /images/graemlins/smile.gif I have never had any problems since.

I continued to do well and cashed out another 2800. That put me up about $3000 in 1 month. All the cashouts went straight to my bank account in about 2-3 days. And the freerolls on here are incredible! A couple weeks ago I played in a 7K dash for cash. Only 180 players! It paid 10 places with 1st being $3k, 2nd $2k, 3rd $1200. Not promo bucks either. Real dollars that you can cashout whenever you want to. Sure party gives 5K for first in their freeroll, but you have to beat out 1200 players. And stars, LMFAO. * stars and their ** freerolls that pay $100 for first with 800 players that you have to beat out 2500 players just to get into.

So anyway, I won this freeroll and got $3,000. /images/graemlins/cool.gif The money was in my account immediately, and I immediately cashed out $1500 and had it in my bank account in 3 days. So I'm up about 6,000 in 1 1/2 months, starting with a free 10 bucks, and I've played MOSTLY very low limit. Woohoo!

A couple days after winning the freeroll, I received an email from Lucky Nugget promotions asking how it felt to win this freeroll and if I have any suggestions. I responded that of course it felt great, and I gave them suggestions. A few days later, I received an email stating that as a valued member, they wanted to offer me a free 200+20 buy in into their 100,000 guaranteed october classic. I don't know if this is because of the nice email I sent them or what, but it doesn't really matter. There is no other site that I have played on that gives a flying f when you win a tourney, and then would even consider giving you a free 200+20 buy in. I've played a lot of poker at a lot of sites so I think I'm qualified to make this statement. For the record, I've played on stars, UB, Paradise, ACR, propoker, intercasino, Bigbet poker, pokerroom, and one with my sportsbook which you guys probably haven't heard of and I don't want you good players to hear of. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif None of these guys could hold the jock strap of Lucky Nugget. Well maybe propoker with all their bonuses etc. But we all know they are crooked right?:)

I don't know about the other prima sites, all I can speak for is Lucky Nugget since that is the only one I have played with, but Lucky Nugget is top notch. Anway, I just wanted to dispel any myths, and if anyone is trying to decide which site to play on with prima, at least they have my experience to make a better decision with. If anyone is interested, my Lucky Nugget username is doggiefizzle, so say hello if you see me at the tables. And the tourney they gave me a free entry in is on the 31st, so if you see me there, please don't knock me out.:)

At the risk of upsetting Mat, we can't pass up the opportunity of bumping this up. Even if it's not Gaming Club's praises he's singing, at least for the good of the Prima network then. Apologies in advance /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Good show Joe.

Do the restrictions on cashouts i.e. documentation etc. apply if you buy in and cashout through, say, NETeller?

I'm not sure. Since I didn't ever have to deposit on their site I wasn't able to withdraw to my Neteller account. So since I was cashing out to my bank account, maybe this is why they requested the documentation. In any case, once they had it I got my money very quickly.

Here's some advice for them though. Once they receieve this documentation, they should not file it away in a secure location. I would feel much better if they would just make a note in the account that it has been verified, and then delete the stuff.

I wouldnt worry about the bump gaming club boss.

The true scum signup a new username pretending to be just another happy customer. You are one of the few who have not fallen to the temptation of this style of bump.
