Bodog- Gotta love these guys! Comment and question

I signed up a couple of weeks ago but never got around to making a deposit. Anyway, the poker manager e-mailed me with an offer of a $109 tourney entry paid fee if I put at least $50 in my account.

I deposited $400 and it instantly showed $480. Do I have to clear the extra $80 or is it already mine?

Also, I was involved with hands in two different limit games and timed out with AA on my $15 SnG. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

you can play with this money right away, but to cash it out it does need to be "cleared."

for details on how this clearing is computed, go to their information page regarding bodog points. it is explained there.

You need to achieve 3 points for each bonus dollar. Thus $80 in bonus = 240 points. However, I believe they give you 50 points to sign up, but this does not count toward your bonus clearing, so, if they gave you the 50, then you need 290.

can you still bet on those last longer wsop final event bets, etc? If so what are the minimum bets allowed? What is the minimum you can deposit to get a bonus? I don't really gamble on those types of things but would enjoy making a few small bets on the series.

checked my email today and basically had the same offer. Though, this email said "you need to hurry on that offer I made you because I need an answer by noon sunday to let you register into it" (or something really close to that, with a more professional wording and tone).

I guess just auto deleting those emails isn't a good idea.
If it wasn't for this post, I probably wouldn't have read the email in the first place.
