Empire JUNEFEVER 100% to $100 15x bonus starts June 23rd

[lefty rosen]

This bonus is dog shiat covered with perfume. If you play Empire regulary I guess it's okay unless you are mid stakes player otherwise pass on this. Maybe Empire will follow the skins leader in bogus bonuses(Multi) and go 20 times.....

Oh hey guys, I hear that if you have a rakeback deal, you lose money by playing this bonus?!?!? Is that correct?!?!?

I play 1500 raked hands in a week on Empire anyway, so I'll be picking up the free $100.

[Emperor]

I hear if you do this bonus with rakeback that you will OWE everyone at Empire $100. Not only that, but they will send the aliens over and probe your bott...

if u have rakeback dont play this bonus because then ure MGR will be negative, and Empire will repo your car.

If I learned anything from this thread, it's that Absolute is the effing nuts for small stakes bonus whoring rock gardeners.

Didn't want that to get lost in the discussion.

Absolute Rules.

Really. Absolute.

Play there.

Don't miss it!

if this bonus will cause your MGR to be negative, you don't play enough for rakeback to be any substantial amount .. why are so many of you guys getting confused about this

its been spelled out a couple times, yes you get less rakeback, no the amount of rakeback lost is not more than the amount of the bonus, so bonus+rakeback>> rakeback by itself

I don't know how many more ways this can be spelled out.

i have rakeback with empire and it actually SUBTRACTS from your rakeback. so not only are you NOT getting rack back, you're LOSING MONEY that you already made playing earlier. Thus, this is a skip for me.

Wtf are you talking about?

Let's say I generate $400 in rake at 1500 hands of 5/10 or 10/20 6max.

With bonus: $100 + ($400-100) x 30% = $190
W/o bonus: $400 x 30% = $120

Although I could be wrong, I don't think I am. The bonus is subtracted from your MGR, so basically you get 100% of $100 instead of 20-30%.

You are absolutely correct. Rakeback at 20-30% is always less profitable than a 15x bonus. This has a lot to do with the $3 cap on rake per hand.
