UB Bonus anyone who knows how this works.?
I just saw that UB is offering 200$ in sign up bonus.
Is this worth it or does it take forever to clear. From what I've heard inhere UB sounds to be rather weak tight, offering few easy money.

Re: UB Bonus anyone who knows how this works.?
The bonuses take a long time at microlimits. If you play 2/4 or higher it's a little better, but still slower than Stars, Paradise, Pokerroom. If you like playing there (the software is nice), then think of it as steady rakeback and it's not a bad deal. They offer many reload bonuses too, and many 2+2ers have thousands of dollars of uncleared bonuses there.
Edit: Also, if you are signing up for the first time, look in the classified and setup up rakeback. I believe UB has rakeback.

Re: UB Bonus anyone who knows how this works.?
I just put some money there recently as the bonuses never expire. I think I'm up to $350 in bonuses so far and I'm going to get their current redeposit bonus for another $100. Since they never expire I figure I'll keep deposing every time they offer a bonus and then I'll clear them when I decide to play there. Haven't actually played a raked hand there yet [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] (same with pokerstars)

Re: UB Bonus anyone who knows how this works.?
Yeah, the .5/1 and 1/2 are beatable at Absolute. The problem with them though is the lack of tables. It's really hard to find a seat during peak hours. On the plus side, you do get to see the same people pretty frequently (as opposed to sites like Party) so you can start to really learn tendencies and who is going to call down your flush with King high.
Also it might be worth noting that if you sign up at Absolute by using www.boogster.com you can get other free stuff as well as the bonus. (I managed to get PokerTracker and the PT guide doing that)

Re: UB Bonus anyone who knows how this works.?
guess its my own fault for mixing this up....
So the bonus on either site never expire..? How about my money 1000$ will drain my bankroll pretty much so If I can't withdraw any money before clearing the bonus its not woth it yet for me. Anyone who has tried both and can tell me which clears faster..?

I got a rakeback deal through raketracker. makes for a nice little bonus the next month.

Anyways if you cleared it at 1/2 in two weaks I might clear it in a couple of months at 0,5/1,0.
