anyone else sick of the BS they are pulling????

They froze my account saying I only show up when they offer bonuses, WELL WHAT THE hell is the point of a bonus, to get people to play on your site!!!

That is crappy business and we should all write threatening e-mails to them.

What greedy jerks they are, hope they lose business.

in all probability this is a +ve revenue move. in fact im guessing they picked out those that paid the least back, especially those whose bonus play exceeded rake contribution.

maybe when a few more bonus whores are kicked off ill start playing there.

So you think it is a poor business move to ban a player who costs them money?

What does that have to do with it? If you play only to clear the bonuses, you don't generate enough rake to pay for them. Winning players don't cost them anything, as long as they play long enough to cover the cost of their bonuses. I can understand why they don't want to keep dishing bonuses out to people who don't play unless they're clearing a bonus. However, I do think they could have handled this better; instead of banning them, they should have simply declined to offer them any more bonuses until and unless they started playing more.

I played the Empire bonus and cashed out just after the 1000th raked hand. The money is in my account. I payed ~$120 in rake.
There must be a more serious reason for freezing an account.

At anything less than 3/6, full ring, I doubt any TAG generates more rake than the bonus, even at 10x. Now, play 3/6 or higher, or the 1/2 6Max, and you pay more rake per hand than you make in bonus. Shall I do the math, or would that have no chance of changing your conclusion?

No you are right. This is from 1/2 6max. Very fast bonus clearing and very profitable. Imagine that my rakeback adds 1.1 BB/100 to my win rate.
Me? A TAG? I am offended [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
