Free $25??

I got a CD in the mail today from Empire Poker. The label said $25 free, no deposit needed. Anybody know any details about this?

Yep, $25 free, no deposit required.

but you gotta play hands to release the $25... which means you need to deposit.

Maybe the guy could win a freeroll to seed his bankroll, theoretically. Easier to just fund your bankroll yourself.

Empire freerolls require 50 raked hands to enter. Damn I'm a nit. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

So, Empire has made it impossible to play without first funding your account. Interesting. Maybe it's an anti-gnoming strategy, so they can track your identity through the funding process, at least somewhat.

This is probably why they do it, but it does seem a little dishonest. I mean, yes, technically you are getting $25 for free without depositing, but there is absolutely no way to access that money without making a deposit. Not that I care...
