The Gaming Club: The Emperor Has No Bonus?

[chesspain]

After receiving the news that The Gaming Club had finally changed their definition of "raked hands" to actually fall in line with every other poker site, I decided to return to this site and "register" for the $300 bonus. However, every time I entered my name, login code, and e-mail address on the registration page, all I would see after hitting "submit" was a refreshed page with the above three boxes blank, and no confirmation that I was successfully registered. Nonetheless, I sat down to play at a 6-max 1/2 table, and periodically checked my accrued bonus points. Of course, every time I put the information in and hit "submit," I would just receive a refreshed page and no change from the default from "0" points.

I guess that trying to earn a bonus through The Gaming Club is not much different than attempting to get your mail-in rebate from one of those clearinghouses that always happens to lose your paperwork.

P.S. As if all of the above wasn't enough, I am re-experiencing the super slowness of the hand history download, and am also seeing how confusing the process is going to be to transmit these hands to Pokertraker.

I think I'll just stick to Empire.
