Absolute change rules
You now need to play at least 2/4 to have a chance of clearing Absolute bonuses after they changed the rules. You need about 4 raked hands at 1/2 now for a reward point.
I received this e-mail: Dear Michael Thank you for your email. We have changed our policies to accumulate absolute reward points as follows: - 1 Point for every hand played in a REAL money ring game with a limit of $2/$4 or higher that has collected at least the minimum rake ($.25) - 2 Points for every hand played in a real money ring game with a limit of $3/$6 or higher that has collected at least the minimum rake ($.25) - 4 Points for every dollar in tournament buy-in Fee ($10 + $1 tournament would earn 4 points) Our website will soon be updated. If there is anything else we can help you with, please let us know.

However, your system did not add my Absolute Reward Points at anywhere near the accurate rate. I received 27 pts in the time I would expect to earn around 100. I kept an eye on the total when I realised this problem, and it took 4 raked hands before a point was added. Could you please look into this and add the appropriate number of points to my account, along with any bonus money this may release. |

Re: Absolute change rules
There's a thread in the Internet Forum that talks about Absolute having some technical issues and not all hands were being properly counted. But everyone said they fixed it and everything was back to clearing as normal. Do you have a link or some proof to these changed rules?

Re: Absolute change rules
He is wrong. Just played a hand at .50/1 NL,rake was .30 cents and it counted towards the bonus.

When they were notified by email they sent everyone an email apologizing for the problem and crediting everyone with an extra 10 in bonus. So i dont think anything major is iminent. However, i wouldnt be shocked if they made it slightly more difficult for the low stakes players to clear the bonuses. |

Re: Absolute change rules
Are you sure this for the points to clear a bonus? Absolute reward points are different. Absolute reward points are used towards tourney entries and merchandise. The numbers you are posting sounds like the way it has always been in regards to Absolute reward points. Bonus points are different. I'm at work now and can't check into this but will look when I get home.

Re: Absolute change rules
I mentioned bonus money in my e-mail to them but it is certainly feasible they didn't answer it correctly. However, before points for bonuses and reward points accrued at the same rate. 100 pts for $10 bonus isn't it?

1 Point for every hand played in a REAL money ring game with a limit of $2/$4 or higher that has collected at least the minimum rake ($.25) [/ QUOTE ] That should read "or lower". |
