Re: Empire JUNEFEVER 100% to $100 15x bonus starts June 23rd
i have rakeback with empire and it actually SUBTRACTS from your rakeback. so not only are you NOT getting rack back, you're LOSING MONEY that you already made playing earlier. Thus, this is a skip for me.

By making the bonus harder to clear in the time alloted, they gain in that people will contribute to the rake without clearing the bonus.

15x sucks. [/ QUOTE ] I too am taking a pass on this one. For people who prefer SNG's and play the ring games only for the bonuses, this sucks big time.

Re: To all the naysayers
[ QUOTE ]
I don't get it. The bonus is 15X. Sure it's not 5X or 7X. I play 200-250 hands/hr most of which are raked (1/2 or 2/4). 1500 hands is 6-7, maybe 8 hours of play. $100/8hr = $12.50/hr. [/ QUOTE ] Do you have numbers to back that up? Here's my Pokertracker data from Party skins: Hands: 16,790 Raked: 8,771 That says only 52% of hands played are raked. So you're looking at playing 3000 hands for a $100 bonus, unless my numbers are really skewed (which I doubt). So 4-tabling on Empire, say 250 hands/hour, means playing 12 hours, for $8.33/hr. Better than nothing, but not nearly as good as what it once was.

Re: Empire JUNEFEVER 100% to $100 15x bonus starts June 23rd
hope the GET15 promo I have isn't 15x.
Sucks I can't do both though. ------------------------------------ GET15 is a 5x bonus and you get a month to complete it. I would try to finish that one up pretty quick then deposit for June and play some more.

With bonus: $100 + ($400-100) x 30% = $190 W/o bonus: $400 x 30% = $120 Although I could be wrong, I don't think I am. The bonus is subtracted from your MGR, so basically you get 100% of $100 instead of 20-30%. Dan

Re: Empire JUNEFEVER 100% to $100 15x bonus starts June 23rd
This is, with the exception of the 10 days to clear, a fish-friendly bonus, which I heartily support. Empire/Party is in need of an infusion of "recreational" players right now, and if they get it it's certainly worth the 15X terms for us grinders.
(Opinion heavily biased since Empire is one of my two primary sites anyway"
