i've decided to be a bonus whore

fairness · #1 11-23-2004, 01:30 AM

ok, here's the plan. let me know if there's anything i'm missing out on or have to know before i do this.

1. deposit $400 on Pacific and clear the 25% bonus for 1st time deposits for $100

2. cash that out and deposit hopefully $500 on PokerNow clear the 20% bonus max $100

3. cash that $600 out and head over to Empire and clear another $100.

4. hopefully getting the bankroll up to around $700 for a final stop at Ultimatebet. clear that and head back to party.

a few questions, does this seem reasonable to anyone that's ever done this before. and, how long do you think it will take to finish?

First three are pretty easy. UB takes a while.

Do the crypto sites as soon as you don't mind your money being tied up until you get your pins.

why the crypto sites?

He's saying the crypto sites take a while to get your money out the first time because they have to snail mail you a PIN. Perhaps you do or don't want to do them first based on this knowledge.

So goods to me, except for your stop at Ultimate Bet. Ultimate Bet has one of the more unreasonable bonuses to clear, it shoud be your last stop (if ever). Crypto sites are very good to their players by offering them reasonable bonuses to clear, and they do it every single month. Interpoker is $90 for 450 hands for example. Sunpoker, Pokerplex, William Hill, Total Bet are some other Crypto sites.

This is a good time to jump on the Cryptos it being so close to month's end. You can hit them now for November's bonus and then next week when December's bonuses are available. It will take a week to ten days to get your PINs anyway so you'd have to leave your money in that long regardless. Only InterCasino Poker requires a redeposit for December, so you may have to wait to rehit that one given you have $400.

I would start with William Hill seeing as they don't require a PIN, your money will be immediately available to cashout upon your bonus completion.

Going the Crypto route rather than your suggested one, you'd be able to get $600+ in bonuses in two weeks rather than the $400 or so from those four sites.

I also agree with the others about UB, it takes forever for their bonuses to clear. I have $500+ uncleared bonus money there myself.

I'd pass on the UB bonus if I were you. Instead, you can use the IGMPAY bonus at Empire and (I think) PokerNow.

I'm in the process of whoring myself, and am just curious how the game play at the crypto sites is since i've never played them before?

I play mainly party's NL25 and 50 games currently, do the Crypto sites have anything compareable?

thank you for any replies (and sorry for the minor hijack)
