First time reloaders at Empire

[DrewOnTilt]

NOt time to get all up in arms yet. I didn't get mine either, but the last Party general bonus wasn't awarded to my account instantaneously.

I did also email support, but it is nothing out of the ordinary for bonuses not to be immediately credited to players who make a deposit just after midnight on the first day of a bonus.

A couple friends of mine, both first-time depositers, deposited and received the bonus instantly. They might claim that it is for new members only. If this is the case, the advertisement page is extremely poorly worded.

Well well well. As the OP, I feel obligated to inform you, that I DIDN'T GET THE BONUS EITHER!!!!

Rant over. I emailed support, we'll see what happens, and yes, this would be my first reload at Empire and the offer was emailed to me.

I sent another response pointing out that on the web page there's nothing that indicates that it's for "Play Money" players only, and that I really, really think I deserve a free $100 for no good reason, but it doesn't look like this one will work out.

The good news is that the upcoming 25%/$150/EPMANIA April 6th-10th bonus is (apparently) confirmed.

[MasterShakes]

I got the exact same email. My name isn't Bradley though.

Here is the answers I got from Empire support yesterday.

Should I copy/paste the text of the bonus page and fire the last barrel of this bluff?

[Baseballer02]

I've seen a copy of the email Empire sent to some people. Try to find it and copy/paste/edit to your need.

[scotty34]

I am just about to do the initial deposit at Empire. Is this going to work?

$500 (affiliate rakeback code) for initial deposit bonus $100
$500 (50EXTRA) for first-time reload bonus $100
$500 (EPMania) for general reload bonus $150

$350 bonus in the next week for me?
