Its is just a waste of time, as 15x means that you are playing over about 1800 hands and therefore are earning about 5.5 cents a hand. [/ QUOTE ] Plus at $10/$20 SH, you make nearly double that rate in rakeback. Adam

Re: Party & Empire Have Won
[ QUOTE ]
Do people think playing winning poker is about finding the best site to clear a bonus??? I would play party poker if they never offered another bonus. [/ QUOTE ] Bonuses are pretty essential for helping newer a) stay in the black and b) build up their bankroll. For those of us that have been playing for a bit, playing without a bonus or rakeback to negate the Party rake is borderline retarded. So no, people aren't playing for bonuses - they are just being good gamblers and playing with whatever reasonable edge they can find...

Re: Party & Empire Have Won

So basically this is their way of giving money to their loyal losing players. [/ QUOTE ] Well if you play Party anyway, then it's a bonus to you if you're a winning player too, isn't it? It's interesting, though, because I figured these bonuses were intended to get recreational players to deposit and play (since the hard-core players play anyway). But, at 15x there's not many recreational players who will even bother, because they know they'll never clear the bonus single-tabling for their couple hours a night. Maybe Party figures that enough people will deposit, but not play enough to clear, that they'll come out ahead. In other words, a 100% bonus that only 10% of people clear is better for their bottom line, than a 25% bonus that 50% of people clear. The 15x doesn't bother me as much as the 7 (now 10) day requirement. Stars bonuses don't expire, so I can just play my usual handful of SNGs a day and eventually I clear a nice bonus. It's not bonus whoring, it's just some extra money on games I'd have played anyway. Also, Stars gives bonuses on SNG's, Party doesn't - but that's another rant altogether.
