So if we withdrew after last week's bonus, we are screwed, right?

Will we ever be able to get money out of Empire without losing a bonus?

Why would you be screwed? The 15-day thing was a rumor that was never confirmed by anybody. Many people who withdrew within 15 days of the last bonus were able to collect the bonus (myself included).

p.s. Yes, I know it was actually stated as a reason for some people not getting a PokerNow bonus.

Thanks for the clarification. The threads were so confusing, I didn't know what to believe and was very uncertain about the policy.

So Party doesn't allow you to withdraw during bonus period before you deposit, what new rules does Empire have, if any?

The stated rule is the same as Party. Cannot withdraw during the bonus period. Of course, if they enforced some totally different rule, it wouldn't be that big of a suprise.

This was the reason quoted by Empire for receiving an Elapsed Status. So yes it is confirmed...by empire themselves, if thats good enough for you.

Initially support was claiming this error was due to this new 15 day rule.

Then, after much persistence, they credited the bonus to my account with the following explanation/excuse:

I'm sure you are aware we have experienced a number of technical difficulties during the JuneFever promotion and we thank you for your patience and co-operation in this matter.

We have now manually released the bonus into your account.


Translation:

We are trying to weed out bonus whores however the whole process turned into one giant clusterfcuk. Here's your goddamn money now piss off and leave us alone.

No sense in arguing with each other about how Empire attempted to justify not providing some with the bonus when Empire themselves can't even figure out how they dropped the ball on the promotion.

Solidarity my babies. Don't let them tear us apart.
