Pulling your money out after clearing a bonus?

limodude · #1 01-12-2005, 01:46 PM

Does anyone have an opinion as to whether or not it matters if you pull all your money out of an account once you clear a bonus? Does it piss off the site as to screw with your account for future? What do most people do? Thanks in advance.

its not the best thing to do... it does cost the site some money. if you have an affil you prob shouldnt do this, because its really just screwing them over. if you dont have an affil, or dont know what that is, go ahead, pull your money out... but wait, then you cant gamble?!?!

Not at all, im sure most sites expect most people that sign up for the bonuses are going to leave after they clear them. I always take out all my money after I'm done clearing a bonus and move onto another site. If you don't plan on continuing to play there then why keep your money there? As far as a site "screwing with you in the future" that is just not something you should ever worry about if you are playin on any reputable site.

Just be cautious. After every withdraw (as a punishment) the pokerroom stops giving you good cards and you'll go on a losing streak. Just be prepared.

I was more referring to bonus offers in the future.

Doesn't matter. I leave like $1 or $2 in a site when I withdraw, but I don't sweat it at all. They still offer me bonuses.

The whole thing about getting bad cards is all psychological. What is in it for the site to give you bad cards? They make theyre money from the rake and you getting bad cards is going to mean you put less into the pot, which means less rake.

As far as not being considered for future bonuses, bonuses are pretty generic, everyone is offered them regardless of the amount of play at that site. Bottom line is, they want your money, they make more money off the rake you put in trying to get the bonus than what they give you so they will always want you to deposit money for their bonuses.

you will be more likely to get reload offers if your acct is empty (or very low/inactive)

Limodude, the poker sites don't really care if you cashout completely after whoring the bonus. It's casino sites where you run into trouble doing this. Many have provisions allowing them to take back the bonus or ban you from future bonuses in the terms of the bonus. Just make sure you read the terms.

PS. You'll get better responses to queries like this one if you post in the internet gambling forum.
