The truth is that they accepted a bonus code and then furthermore sent out an e-mail confirming their acceptance of the bonus
if you were incorrectly pushed a pot that you lost because a dumbass programmer made a mistake would this be a breach of contract? i'm not trolling, i am asking seriously since you are a law student. in this scenario, you had the worst hand, and it was awarded to you incorrectly due to a coding error. from what i see, this is simply a malfunction. voiding malfunctions is clearly covered in the terms you accepted when signing up. |

It's not like someone sat down and typed up the confirmation e-mail either. That stuff is completely automated (along with some of the support e-mails too I think). Heck, when I withdraw money from Empire or Party, I get two confirmation e-mails within a split second of my withdrawl. |

Granny and Nolan,
Automation usually isn't an answer to a contract question. I indicated my willingness to accept the bonus and they literally acquiesced in writing. I think getting pushed a pot is different, since you aren't entering into a written agreement to play X number of hands for X amount of bonus. Plus, there is an implied agreement during a game to play by the rules of the game. Getting pushed a pot with a losing hand violates the rules of poker. Yuck, talking about law on a poker forum. I play poker as a break from law school. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Anyway, nothing here is hard and fast, I'm just a student (at a top 5 law school though) and it's just my opinion.

I'm trying to get into a top 5 law school!
Since you said top 5 instead of top 4, do you go to NYU? |

Whether or not you entered a "contract" is irrelevant. |
