I'm not an affiliate there. They told me that they didn't have an affiliate program yet. So I asked them if there was a refer a friend bonus that I could receive for refering new players, they said that they would give me $25 for every new player I refered. That's just really not that much to me, so I figured what the hell, I'll just give it back to whomever I refer. I might look into an affiliate program when they start one up, but I am NOT an affiliate now. Thanks for calling me slimy though, that's a first. I'm working towards becoming subhuman scum. Let me know when I get there.

Why yes, I AM wearing your tinfoil hat.

There really is no way to gauge this without knowing what limit you're playing. If you're playing in a high enough limit, you could clear the bonus in 50 hands. If you get the $100 bonus you will have 12,500 action points to clear. Here is their explanation of how action points are cleared:

How Action Points are awarded
The larger the pot, the more Action Points there will be *.
The available points will be distributed to all players who participated in the pot on a pro-rate (percentage) basis.
The more a player bets, the larger their personal share of the available Action Points.
* For every real money hand that is dealt a maximum of 300 Action Points will be awarded.

I haven't cleared my bonus yet, so I will get back to you when I'm done. But at the pace I'm going, it will take me about 15 hours to clear my bonus at 2 4 limit. Dux may be able to better answer this question as he's already played at a portal to this site. I'll make sure to give everyone an update when I've cleared the bonus to see how long it actually took.

I accumulated 120,000 in 3 weeks play about 2 months ago.Playing mostly 1-2 NL,2-4 NL and 3-6,5-10 and 10-20 Limit.
The freerolls are good but they keep on decrementing the ratio of prize pool to required Action Points to join.
NL games can be very good.But there are also some great NL players there in bigger games.
Btw fishpondpoker.com is also a skin like Golden Palace of VC.
Customer support is excellent and games arent as good as Party but software is very good.
Connectivity is suspect thu ..there is more latency for me connecting to this site than any other..I am on a 1.28mb dsl connection and rarely have connectivity issues.At GP thu throughout the day I get disconnected momentarily not completed booted just packet loss and this happens often almost everyday.
