x is a lot more important to a bonus chaser than %.

I think "y" (y being the total possible bonus) is most important Id much prefer y=$1,000 with a 20 x requirement

I disagree. If this is true, why would you play anywhere else than absolute poker?

i think it's smart of them to raise the %, as it decreases the extraneous amount that people are depositing, costing them neteller fees.

10x is a BIT of a dissapointment, but it didn't keep me from doing my little bonus dance anyway. The only dissapointing thing is how far it is away, but I've got other stuff to clear before then anyway.

Shouldn't increased competition from other rooms, such as Games Grid, Absolute, etc, be forcing them to make bonuses more lucrative, not less? I must be missing something, because I'll just stop messing around with Party and skins altogether, and there goes my rake.

no, cause that means you only get 5 cents per raked hand. I can do a 10x and earn the same amount of bonus money in half the time, and there are plenty more bonuses I can jump to before I ever have to settle for a 20x.

if your scenario was true, everyone would be playing at Full Tilt, Noble Poker, Poo Mountain and Poker Host. what a nightmare!

Except that a bonus that takes longer to clear at Party and Skins is really not a problem for a winning micro-limit player. For me, these bonuses turn a modest win-rate into a pretty respectable hourly rate for sitting on my ass in my living room listening to jazz on the stereo.

agreed.


At Party their responses might go something like, "Absolute Who?"


7x or 10x...big deal.
Only 2+2/bonus-whoring types notice the difference....it's a pretty negligible one at that.


For a bonus of $100 I will have to play 1k hands instead of 700 hands. I just don't think that's worth complaining about.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who gets a happy dance lift out of a Party and Skins bonus announcement.

[RunDownHouse]

I think some posters are being just as myopic as Party when pulling out pokerpulse numbers as reasons for Party to disregard competition.

[Spartacus]

Since it does not state 7 days to clear this bonus, is this 30 days by default?
