Good questions, anyone have an answer? I thought there were only a couple dozen people playing here.

For every $16 in rake paid you get $1 bonus cleared as compared to 2.5:1 for Party & skins / Absolute / Paradise.

I like the software just as much as UBet's but no miniview.

On average there's a few thousand players online, so your typical mid sized room.

Cashouts are generally fast. I usually get it to Neteller within a day or two.

No affiliate rake rebates.

Games aren't as tough as UBet, but they're not exactly terribly soft either as most people are there to clear the bonus. However it seems recently there are more and more players joining to play against the pros, so the higher stakes are supposedly softer especially the NL 200 / 400 games (according to Bunky).

So, does anyone have a quick guess on how many hands to clear the bonus at $.5/1 table? Does about 3000 sound right?

Thanks.

It takes about 4,000 hands at empire to clear a $500 bonus and the empire games are significantly looser, therefor more rake paid.

$100 Party & skins bonus = 700 raked hands Party / 500 raked hands Empire to clear. That's equivalent to $175 / $125 raked.

$600 Full Tilt Bonus = $10,000 raked to clear, or about 40,000 raked hands (assuming $5 pot where rake is $0.25).

Do you guys understand why the FTP bonus sucks so much now?

You can and will clear the FTP much much faster if you play higher level NL stakes where rake is usually a couple dollars a pot, but forget about it if you're a low limit grinder.

I don't think I want to play 40,000 hands. If I just give them $10,000, will they give me the $600? Be a lot quicker and easier! These bonuses are really insulting--they must think we're total idiots. Them and Gaming Club: "If you swim the English Channel in 45 minutes, we'll give you $500. However if it takes you 46 minutes or you drown 100 feet from the far shore, you get nothing, zip, nada." Isn't this a great deal?" It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy knowing they care about us like this. . .and then posters on here actually gush their thanks. . .

Because we are total idiots, or at least a lot of us are.

How many times do you see the same questions asked over and over? I had to elaborate on the bonus differences when just 16:1 and 2.5:1 would of sufficed.

People don't want to think anymore, they just ask and ask and ask away and idiots like me answer their questions anyway.
