Default Advice on Absolute

I saw that Absolute Poker is offering a 35% deposit bonus for first timers. How are the players on this site and what is game selection like?

I saw from the post by MicroBob that their service is good so i'll probably give them a try anyway but wanted to see if there are any negative opinions of the site.

thanks

the games can be a little weak tight. they're definitely beatable though and sometimes the games can be easy. The split games are always very beatable and usually reach the raked hand requirement (which you need to clear the bonus). They offer continual bonuses which is nice... and you can also combine that with rakeback (even nicer).

Use NETeller and go for the 50% bonus instead.

Also I'd suggest waiting until you have a full $1K to deposit as this is a huge bonus that can really help build your bankroll, and you don't want to miss the whole offer.

Actually this isn't really an issue since the OP could just withdraw a decent sum after he deposits as much as he has and do the seemingly endless reloads they offer.

Yeah but usually deposit bonuses are easier to clear than reloads, although it eludes me if this is the case on Absolute.

it's not. all Absolute bonuses are standard 10x raked hands.

Does anyone have any experience with this? What I am unclear on is whether you can use the same code (say MAY20) later on in a month. Say for example that on the first weekend of May you deposited $500 to get $100 in bonus. Let's say mid week you withdraw back to your Neteller account and on weekend 2 you reload using MAY20 again (they use the same code for each month). Is this possible? Would this violate their T&C? I contacted support and asked them this and they said it would not be a problem, however has anyone actually done this without a problem?

Don't worry about some silly bonus code they (usually) use the same one for every reload (you won't catch them all unless you have a jillion dollars avaiable) in the month. IF you miss one wait a day or two for the next. Occasionally, they will have an unannounced bonus with the code available in the scrolling announcement at the bottom.

Do NOT worry about AP bonuses, they expire in 60 days another one is never more than 4 days away. If you are clearing $400 a week in bonuses you should have a monster BR.

This is how to catch the AP bonuses: Withdraw Monday AM (close to midnight), dep Wed (close to midnight) for the bonus, withdraw Friday AM (Before NOON). Deposit Sat for weekend bonus (if it is a double weekend bonus you need enough for 2 reloads) Start over.

If you only want to do one withdrawl, do it on Monday. Try to keep enough at Neteller for at least 1 reload (incase you are "lucky" to get a 72hr withdrawl).

There will be an email and the bonus code is usually on the little news splash screen when you start up AP.

AP is the one site you need NOT worry about them screwing you on bonus money - they throw it at you by the $100's.

IIRC, one week in April if one had $2k available it was possible to do FOUR deposits between Wed and the following Monday for $800 (the $2k was needed due to the 12hr withdrawl window).
