woo! empire just gave me the bump

[bly]

Cash player only...

Got the bump at 1400 to vip.
Took me 6 months of cash games to make Royal...

I figure with the extra 20% I get being Royal I'll get the free TV in about 5 months.. yippie (tad bit of sarcasm), and I only have about 4 to 5 years to get my free trip to Vegas!

I like the $100 a month for free. Just put a 1000 in from neteller, I leave it a day, 100 shows up in my account. Move 1100 back to neteller. Gotta love it!

Still waiting on my watch.. for 2 plus months now… emailed royal the other day and they promised it would ship this week..

When I 1st read this last week I emailed Empire. I told them if they make a 5000 plateau then everyone should have to hit it. I said I hear people say they get bumped for no apparent reason. I had about 1700 - 1800 points when I emailed them. They responded with some lame thing that their promotions department has some promotions where the winners get promoted. I never responded to their bull, then lo- and behold today I got bumped. MUst have been in a special event I wasn't even aware of, especially since I just play ring games.

i just recently got the bump also, (just over 2k at the time).

But, side note about the deposit 1000, withdraw 1100 thing.... think about what empire did to the bonus whores, it might not be worth it to mess with them!!

you guys that got bumped, what limits do you play?

1600 points and no bump yet.

This bumping has been going on for months...........

I never got bumped, even though I have played there 10-20 hours each month for a year.

I emailed last month and told them I though the practice was unfair, and obviously they didn't need my play if they wouldn't bump me too.

They never responded to me.

I withdrew my cash and deleted the site from my computer.

[censored]'em if they can't take a joke.

I just got a bump email. I cleared a few bonuses at .5/1 through 2/4 a few months ago, didn't play for a while, then the last 3-4 weeks I've played ~15k hands of 5/10.

my question: how do you check your point balance?

correct me if I'm wrong, but the vip club seems basically worthless, but the $100/month for royal flush is obviously awesome. I assume that is subtracted from MGR though, so it's really like $72, eh?

You can check your balance by going to this URL:

http://www.epvip.com/showPoints.htm?...MAIL=XXXXXXXXX

Replace the XXXXXXXX's with your username and email respectively.

Clicking on the VIP account menu option in the empire software will open this link also.

I just got bumped. I play $1/2 NL and a LOT of multi-tables on Empire.
