Empire "blocking bonuses" are back!

So, hot on the heels of the 10x 3day 100% $100 Empire bonus, I get the following email:

Dear [sucker],

You have been awarded a bonus amount of 10.00 and the money has been added into your account. You are free to use this bonus amount to play at Empire Poker. However, if you wish to cashout the 10.00, you will need to play 300 raked hands before 11-SEP-2005 EST.

Woo, I've been blocking-bonused!

Funny thing is, I was given this "honor" after not partaking in the bonus two weeks ago. Guess their bonus chaser algorithm just caught up to me now, or something.

You can email support and ask them to remove the bonus if you want. The only thing the bonus does is force you to play extra hands (for $10 in bonus) you can still get the reload.

I got that one before the last reload. I played a $5 SNG and didnt play any other hands. Then I got the Aug reload and all my hands went towards it....I didn't have to play the 300 or so to clear the $10. Not sure if I am the exception to the rule or not...but I didn't have to do anything to clear the $10 Bonus Blocker

Last time I got one I asked to have it removed. They said that they couldn't remove it.

They sent one to me but stupidly sent it too early. The blocking bonus expired prior to the end of the PLAYAUG deposit period. LOL!
