Absolute Changes
I wonder if Absolute will lose many customers to the recent changes of the rake requirements for reload payouts?? I know of a couple of dudes who aren't playing there anymore because of it but was curious if there will be any significant impact??

Re: Absolute Changes
judging by that there was no change in traffic at Party Poker and Pokerrrom network after they downgraded their rake and/or bonus structures, I would say no.
like you said, it only affects "a couple of dudes". |
Re: Absolute Changes
IN the past month at peak time there were about 10 - 15 tables at .5/1 full....tonight there were 4. Seemed to be a few more 1/2 full than usual as I guess the whores (me included) realized the bonus is impossible to clear at .5/1

Re: Absolute Changes
Well hopefully all the tags will leave my .50/1 and 1/2 6max games and go play 2/4 [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
I can hope. Ill be working towards 2/4 faster now. |
Re: Absolute Changes
I just opened my first Internet account 2 weeks ago, and it was at Absolute. I'm half way thru clearing my $190 bonus and they changed the min raked hand criteria (for bonus clearing) from $.25 to $.50. This seems a bit extreme and slightly unethical. When I signed up, I agreed to their bonus clearing requirements. As far as I'm concerned, that's a contract and shouldn't be altered mid-stream.
I've been playing .50/1.00 9max tables. With the tightness of these tables (2-3 to a flop), it'll take a long time to clear the rest of my bonus. On the plus side, I've improved my tight-game play tremendously. Bill |
Re: Absolute Changes
check the T&C again, i would not be surprised if there was a line that said we r allowed to alter this at anytime. which would mean they r not breaking the terms of the contract when it changed.

Re: Absolute Changes
They probably have every right to do it, but it's still kinda shady, and a poor service to the customer. They shouldn't offer a promotion, knowing they are going to change the rules, and then save themselves with the fine pringt. I am in the same boat on this deal, so i am just going to cut free of absolute and go to a different site. I emailed them, and they show little interest in helping me.

Re: Absolute Changes
I'm done with them...they obviously don't want the "little guy"; so be it.

Re: Absolute Changes
its padded my bank roll by ck raising those tight weak bonus chasing whores
this is the best 5 days i have had on AP playing 1/2 limit if i could get over my NL crack addiction i would be running very well. on a lighter note i donot have rakeback or didnt do a reload bonus, and i cant bring my self to play anywhere else right now making 15$ an hour playing 2hrs a day on 2 tables |
Re: Absolute Changes
They lost me. But I wasn't a profitable customer for them anyway.
Although I did start an awful lot of tables for them. And play HU and 3 handed to keep them going. |
