Pacific Deposit Bonus

[justus]

Hello XXX,

Tomorrow, June 19th from 20:00 to 22:00 is our innovative new Pacific Poker HAPPY HOURS where you could earn up to an extra $100!

Here’s how it works:

Simply Deposit at least $100 during the pre-selected Happy Hours (20:00 – 22:00 PPT) and we will add a 20% Bonus of up to $100 to your bankroll!

It’s as simple as that!

Simple rules:

• To qualify, you must deposit at least $100 during event hours.

• In order to Cash-Out this Bonus, an amount totaling no less than twenty (20) times the bonus amount must be wagered on raked hands. Reverse Cash-Outs will not qualify as deposits for this event.

I hope to see you then!

Regards,
Mike Herea

If they would improve their software, I might consider going back. Oh, and provide cash outs in less than a week.

2000 raked hands for $100 bonus?? There must be better options out there?

[JayLeno]

I dont read 2000 raked hands. I read you have to wager 2000 dollars! AND it counts only in wagering IF the hand is raked! Isnt it so?

I just made a $500 deposit into Pacific. Nothing has been credited to my account as of yet. Do I have the time right? Isn't it going on now? If so, is the bonus credit just delayed?

[MicroBob]

same thing here....didn't get a thing (except for the $500 into my account).

whoops....check that....just as i was writing this post i got a pop-up window that i was credited with the $100 bonus.

took about 10-15 minutes for me to receive the bonus....so i guess it's on its way if you haven't gotten it already.

At this point, its a race between whether i get the $100 bonus or lose the $500 buy-in first. C'mon bonus!

When I did the whole pacific bonus thing awhile ago, I ended up losing the bonus before I cleared it...now I figure if I deposit my money will get stuck in the vortex of them thinking I owe them? Do you think this would happen?

[MicroBob]

something like that.....
i believe that your wagering-requirement WILL carry over.

pretty sure i read that something like this is true on a different forum.

not sure it would be 'stuck' as it were. but you may still need to finish off the number of raked hands from the first bonus before you get credit for clearing the 2nd one.


you can try calling pacific about it.
their phone # is on their deposit page somewhere.
there's a decent chance you will get a cust-serv rep who won't understand your problem though.


in your situation, because of your situation AND since it takes so freaking long to clear the bonus and their cash-outs are super-slow....i might think about skipping this one....OR you can just deposit $200 for a $40-bonus. you're still getting some bonus-dough, and you're not risking as much if you run into problems.


i actually debated depositing less then the max allowed just because it takes quite awhile there to clear a $100 bonus. i decided to go for the whole thing anyway....but i may shoot myself somewhere around my 30th hour of slow-motion play on Pacific.
however, the players are SOOOOOO bad that i suspect i might be happy i went for the whole thing.
