I lost my bonus when I lost my password. Apparently they lack the technology to reset a password, you have to make a new account and wait a few days for your money to get xferred and no more bonus money.

So technically you are complaining about the EXTRA money InterPoker and you were ignorant to their T+C. You probably had 229 raked hands counting for this month after they subtracted the rest of the raked hands off the bonus money from the casino.


[/ QUOTE ]
To be fair, I just checked both the T&C for both IP and IC, and the details of the carry-over and single casino/poker bonus are not described in detail.

As for Will Hill, try recommending a site that can afford to pay out in Neteller without some BS excuse. A site that will let you play in pounds and accept Neteller. Will Hill is the worst Crypto available. The crappiest bonus, the crappiest payment options. Play Pokerplex with a rakeback if you want to try and inform others of your own ignorance.

[/ QUOTE ]

This strikes me as a senseless rant against WillHill.

William Hill offers the exact same bonus as UK Betting and Totalbet. It pays about $9/table/hour, which on average is about equivalent to the bonuses at the other cryptos.

You CAN play in pounds at WillHill, I do it all the time. The DO accept Neteller, I use it there all the time. Is your issue with using Neteller when your Neteller account is in pounds?

In the past there have been some sporadic reports of problems getting paid by WillHill, but I have not heard of this in a while. Personally, given the lack of PIN number, the (IMHO) far superior cashier interface, and the fact that I can clear their bonus in less than 1.5 hours 4-tabling, WillHill is one of my favorite cryptos. But then again, they're pretty much all the same.

First off to the poster Evan I think...You do not need to contribute to the rake (it is not like Prima). You have to dealt into a raked hand (i.e. Party.)

Secondly, yes Will Hill does suck. You cannot deposit in pounds if you live in the US. Total and UK lets me WILLIE DOESNT. WILLIE also has problems paying back in Neteller to those who signed up in dollars. Do a search if you dont believe me, I suck at searches and its not my problem since I dont play there, so I wont bother trying to search.



Totalbet + UK = 25 pound bonus.. ~$45 US
Car Sun = $40 US
Inter $90 US
Plex $50 US

and then we have WILLIE HILL HILL $25 bonus. If you are a US player it SUCKS.

lol this is the best

[ QUOTE ]
appreciate the help, and stand by my recommendation of William Hill. After a bumpy start (I bought in via VISA, and it took months to get them to let me cash out to neteller) they've been excellent.

[/ QUOTE ]

LOL someone who swears by them, yet in his own admission takes him MONTHS to be able to use a simple service such as Neteller to receive his money.

Lets see

#1. WORST bonus in the Crypto family (for a U.S. player or tied for WORST if a Euro)@ $25 or 25pounds per month.

#2. WORST out of the cryptos when dealing with Neteller. 2a..THEY DONT LET YOU DEPOSIT IN BRITS
2b..THEY TAKE FOREVER TO CASH OUT INITIALLY
2c..LATELY THEY DONT PAY AS EVIDENCED HERE!

#3. WORST when it comes to other benefits (Inter does the Kings promo, Total + UK do twice a week promos, Plex has a rakeback scheme, Car has exclusive freerolls) WILLIE DOES JACK. Not pocket Jacks for a promo, JACK AS IN NOTHING.


Does it still strike you as a senseless rant? HUH HUH HUH?

you realize that you have to put money in the pot for it to count as a raked hand

[/ QUOTE ]


This is not true. You only need to be dealt into the raked hand, not contribute to the pot.




[ QUOTE ]
i thought it had been talked about like 2 million times.

[/ QUOTE ]


These discussions were about The Gaming Club (Prima) which has the ridiculous rule that you must contribute to the pot for it to be considered a raked hand.

That's weird. I've deposited at Will Hill in dollars the last 4 months and every month I've received a 25 pound bonus. With the strength of the pound I'm getting $9.30 for every 5 pounds. Just finished up that bonus last night in fact and will be doing it again starting tomorrow.

I get paid the WillHill bonus in pounds.

I don't blame WillHill for my account setup problems because that was a debacle, but not really their fault. I bought in with a VISA debit card that was replaced by my bank between the time I deposited and the time they asked me for verification, so I couldn't give them their documents.

While I'm not a big fan of verification, I could appreciate that they were just safeguarding the account until I could demonstrate that I was in fact the person who opened the account.

This is why I asked for a clarification. You post said that you cannot play in pounds, which is clearly not true.

Are you saying that you live in the US and your account is in pounds? If so, why? Doesn't Neteller hit you with an currency conversion charge everytime your cashout of a USD-based site?

BTW, I get currency conversion charge from every time I cashout of UK Betting and Totalbet, but not when I cashout of William Hill (my Neteller account is in USD).

[ QUOTE ]

WILLIE also has problems paying back in Neteller to those who signed up in dollars. Do a search if you dont believe me, I suck at searches and its not my problem since I dont play there, so I wont bother trying to search.


[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, there were problems for a few days withdrawing from William Hill to Neteller. If I remember correctly (and I may be wrong here), it coincided with the Neteller upgraded that completely hosed the interface between Neteller and almost every site.

[ QUOTE ]

Totalbet + UK = 25 pound bonus.. ~$45 US

[/ QUOTE ]
Most people, US included, get paid 25 pounds, just like UK Betting and Totalbet. Some people have gotten stuck with a $25 bonus, which does indeed suck. However, for everyone else who gets 25 pounds, it is a pretty good bonus.

His was not necessarily a simple service. If he had never deposited into the site via Neteller (his original deposit was with VISA), then withdrawing to Neteller would be a little more involved. However, neither of us know details of the situation.

#1. WORST bonus in the Crypto family (for a U.S. player or tied for WORST if a Euro)@ $25 or 25pounds per month.

Again, this is rare. Most people, US residents included, get the 25 pound bonus described on their website. $25 is NOT the standard William Hill bonus.
[ QUOTE ]

#2. WORST out of the cryptos when dealing with Neteller. 2a..THEY DONT LET YOU DEPOSIT IN BRITS


[/ QUOTE ]
If you live in the US, or if you live anywhere?
[ QUOTE ]

2b..THEY TAKE FOREVER TO CASH OUT INITIALLY


[/ QUOTE ]
Is this statement based soley on mosch's cashout story? If so, you are basing your statement on an isolated incident. Is there any know issue with initial cashouts from William Hill?

Additionally, William Hill is the only Crypto skin that does not require a PIN number, so most people are able get their initial cashout quicker, as they are able to actually cashout sooner, rather than waiting days or weeks for a PIN number to be mailed.
[ QUOTE ]

2c..LATELY THEY DONT PAY AS EVIDENCED HERE!


[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, they had that problem a few weeks ago.
Was it resolved? Has it continued to be a problem?
BTW, around the same time, several thousands of dollars disappeared from people's cashouts to Neteller or just disappeared straight from their Neteller accounts, due to system problems caused by an upgrade. In the end, the issues were resolved. However, should be all avoid Neteller just to be safe?
[ QUOTE ]

#3. WORST when it comes to other benefits (Inter does the Kings promo, Total + UK do twice a week promos, Plex has a rakeback scheme, Car has exclusive freerolls) WILLIE DOES JACK. Not pocket Jacks for a promo, JACK AS IN NOTHING.


[/ QUOTE ]
Rakeback is definitely nice. The KK promo at IP was cute. However, the overlay of UK and Totalbet promos blows, and you know it. People lose far more in the currency conversion withdrawing to USD Neteller accounts than they could ever hope to make on those promos.
[ QUOTE ]

Does it still strike you as a senseless rant? HUH HUH HUH?

Yes, and far more senseless now.

I made my first deposit on Interpoker about 2 weeks ago. I didn't hit it too hard, so it took me about 3 or 4 days to play my 450 raked hands. As soon as that was done, my bonus was credited to my account as advertised. I'm going to hit them tomorrow for the December bonus. I've also found these games to be incredibly soft.

Just wanted to share my experience,

Good luck,

Fitz

Crypto has the toughest 1/2 limit games I've seen online. There are five rocks for every fish.

Could it be because everybody is just putting in their hands to clear the bonus? [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Tight game: play loose; loose game: play tight. I'm sure you've heard that maxim before but it's true and it applies here. Granted, you won't make as much $/hr as at Party (not including bonus), but the games are definitely beatable. Raise!
