This blows. Deposit now and fight through the bs 300 hands I have to clear first, or wait til the 10th, deposit, don't play any hands until the 12th, and then go for it. I think I'm gonna deposit now, but I don't like this Empire. I don't like this one bit.

You should be able to play $10 no limit and lose it all in one hand, then immediately do the reload. Or if you double up a bunch of times it might be worth it to clear it. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I haven't yet signed up with Empire, but I am about to to take advantage of the bonus... do I deposit 600 now and use this code to get 100 + 150? Or do I have to deposit 500 now, get my 100 signup bonus, then deposit another 600 to get this bonus?

thanks

I got a reply from Empire in under an hour.. what in the hell is going on, I figured I'd hear back about this sometime next year if I was lucky.

Dear Christopher,

Thank you for contacting us.

I apologize for the inconvenience. A bonus amount of "$50" has been added to your bonus account. You are required to play 1050 raked hands for $150 bonus before 13-APR-2005 01:24, as per the release restriction and the amount will be credited to your real money account. You can always check the status of your bonus and how many raked hands you have played, just by clicking on the **Cashier** option on our Lobby, and then clicking on "Bonus Account".

A raked hand is any hand in which a rake (house drop) is taken out of the pot. To accumulate raked hands you need to participate in hands (any game, any limit) where a rake is collected. Hands played at tournaments are not counted towards the raked hands count since rake is not collected in tournaments.

I thank you for your continuous patience and understanding.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Care Department at any time. We are here 24/7 to assist you via email. If you feel you have still been short changed by Empire Poker, you may have your pick of our most semi attractive female customer service representative.

Thank you for choosing us as your online gaming site!

i just had a not so pleasan thought for those of us planning on depositing on the 10th and waiting til the 12th to play because of the $10 30x deal.... that may not work. they say you can't combine this 7x reload with another offer, right? well, they say with another signup/deposit offer, which the $10 isn't, so... we're safe?

vilemerchant · #**129** 04-06-2005, 05:27 AM

Bah,. Stupid me cashed out $600 via epassporte to redeposit, so when I do it says my epassporte has a transaction limi of $500, so I can only get $125 bonus. I scrapped that and now waiting for $600 neteller cashout >:

thwang99 · #**130** 04-06-2005, 05:51 AM

Wow, just deposited and working on the bonus.

What do I get but a nice, juicy 51 BIG BET POT!

I had QQ

Board in order was:

QT5TJr

4 people to the river with:

me: QQ
T5
AK
K9

Raised PF, and capped every other round by me and T5o, and on the river AK woke up and capped.

I was SLIGHTLY scared of TT... thought 55 was also likely.

Wow! Bonus bringing out the players? This was 3/6 Empire BTW, guess it was a good table.
