Worst Promo Ever?

[colgin]

This seemed to me like the crappiest promo ever. So people don't think I am spamming I have deleted the name of the site and have NOT provided a link:

"Dear poker player,

Never played for real money at XXXXXXXX, the Top New Poker Room of 2004?
Well, they want to give you a taste of what it's like to play in a real money
live action poker game with them.

Until January 15, 2004, they are offering validated new players who have never
deposited, $5 to try your skill in a real money online poker game. *Please
see the terms of this offer at the bottom of this email.

To receive your $5, click here to download XXXXXXXXX:

Next, email [e-mail address deleted] and give them your player ID and this
code: [code deleted]

The $5 will be added to your real money poker account, during the weekdays.
This promotion is limited to the first 1000 redemptions. Enjoy !"

Wow a whopping $5 for all that effort. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Or maybe I am just jaded.

Wasn't that PokerRoom?

I think that's affiliate spam - I got the same email.

I think that you are right.

this is a terrible promo for you, but not for someone that has never played for real money before (at any site). What's terrible is their targeting.

Ditto. I know a lot of people who are hesitant about putting money into an online poker room. Kinda like Royal Vegas, this gets their feet wet first at no risk.

I guess I am just jaded by all these reload bonuses, etc. When I started out with just a $50 deposit at Poker Stars any free money was most welcome.

Have you ever heard of that site before? I go the same e-mail and was at least interested in checking the site out.

I turned my free $10 from Royal Vegas into quite the bankroll.I never laugh at free money.RV may have its faults but it's an easy money fish pond.
