Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
I don't know why anybody's upset other than dashed expectations. I saw the pop-up thought hey, cool! 300 bucks. Then saw the terms and conditions and thought well that's just too bad.
Its a bad promotional offer, but its not like they're screwing me somehow. If they said, "play three thousand raked hands in the next 7 days and we'll send you a free baseball hat and an actual one dollar casino chip from Harrah's in Las Vegas--site of the World Series of Poker!!!!" I'd just think it was a dumb promotion and not do it. Same thing with this 6000 raked hands in 10 days. --Zetack |

Anyone done yet? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] I've done 0 hands. I expect to complete 0 hands by then end of the bonus period. I will get more positive benefits out of this bonus than those that do more hands. (Namely, the time to work on better bonuses) [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] This bonus sucks. |

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
This bonus just shows Empires lack of originality. They saw that this worked with Multi so they figured it would work with them. Too bad Multis was before the split and will not work again next month if it is still 20x. The skins were still good for a few weeks there and I wanted to stick around but they are nothing but a rock garden now.
Looks like my new home will be PokerStars. |

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
It doesn't seem worth it at first glance but I'd suggest doing the math if you understand how bonuses and rakeback coexist on Empire. Results will vary with # tables, limits, RB% and expected raked hands vs. hands played. When I crunched my numbers I got $13.30/hr doing the bonus + rakeback over the bonus period (after subtracting the bonus from the mgr).
I compared this to an average calculated Party (non-rakeback) 10x bonus of $15.40/hr. So it's only a couple $/hr off. Not bad. Since what I think I can earn with rakeback alone on UB is <$10/hr and my bonus there has lots of time it actually makes sense for me to play part of this Empire offer (probably about $150 of the $300 since I can't put in the hours required for the full bonus over 10 days - I do have a day job and a life). Everybody's situation is different so you should spend a little time figuring your own out. Understand at any given time what hourly premium over your base play you can get at all your sites and play accordingly. There may be opportunities at other sites I haven't explored yet but at the bunch of sites I currently have accounts at and with the limits, # tables, rakeback, etc. at those sites it actually makes sense for me to play the Empire bonus for 10 days and it might for you too. |

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
Empire's last two bonuses i tried to get, never got credited. I left money in for a week and never got it. So I cashed out and uninstalled the software. Place is completely worthless now.
