Default Re: Cryptologic FAQs (rough draft)

They charge a $1 fee to cash-out.
As I recall...I think you can avoid the $1 cash-out fee by simply cashing-out $X + $0.01.
So if you want to cash-out $100 then just put in $100.01.
Crypto willjust round it up to $101...and then charge you the $1 cash-out fee....which now is only a $0.01 cash-out fee.


Is this correct people??
As i said, I've never done this myself but I thought I remembered reading about it.

Absolutely. It states that they round up to nearest dollar right on the cashout page. Funny that it took me reading about here to even notice it but I noticed the $1 they were charging immediately.

Also - info along the lines that the 1/2 dollar-tables are EXTREMELY tight at the end of the month because of numerous 2+2 bonus-clearing types trying to get in their hands might be useful.
To that end....I suspect it might be better to clear the bonuses during the middle of the month IF there are fewer rock-tight bonus-clearers to be found during that time.

This is the key to the Cryptos, table selection. Nobody wants to play with a table full of bonus clearing whores.


[ QUOTE ]
Also - info that the rake on the pounds and euro tables are worse (3 pound rake max is worse than $3 rake) but that they are sometimes considered looser (partly because it's mostly occupied by people who don't understand they're getting screwed by the rake).

[/ QUOTE ]

This has been subject to debate. There is no argument however that they do rake more for the larger pots.

[ QUOTE ]
Hesse's points about getting a $20 come-back bonus by waiting it out are valid (including the ability to clear both bonuses at once).
Also about clearing the bonus DURING one of the 'Cowboy weekend' promotions or whatever they might be running.

Also note that Total Bet and UKBetting run excellent promotions all month for hold em players. Definately check them out before you 'whore' there.
