Strange Empire bonus...is it legit?

[TylerD]

I got this email from "ep@empirepoker.com" whose actual email address is: <promotions@casinocool.com>. It didn't have any Empire logo or graphics and doesn't have the usual style of an Empire promotion. Do you think its valid?

Wish I could go home and check my Empire account, though I don't see this e-mail [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I suspect it is. But once you actually signon to empire, you should get the popup saying you have an deposit bonus available.

I got a copy as well.

So what is the better use of my time?

500 hands on empire for $100 or 1000 hands on party for 2 shirts and a hat?

I got the e-mail, but no pop-up when I signed in.

Hmm...

It does look fishy. I emailed info@empirepoker.com about this, let's see what they know. Strange that they would send email on such short notice, it takes time for most people to get $1K into a website.
