Bodog: where to sign up through?

fire_fly · #1 12-07-2005, 02:18 AM

actually, thought just crossed my mind.

If they have a bottomless bonus, and bonii subtracts from mgr, there really isn't any use for rakeback then. Am I right? It seems to clear fairly quickly at 2/4 or 3/6.

Should I just go for pso and make sure to be always clearing a bonus?

Thanks for the help.

Btw, I want to use this account for mainly tourneys, but would like to be prepared for the future which might include ring games, ya never know [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

signing up under a friend will net that friend $200 (small WR that can be cleared in casino).

how does this benefit me? I don't have a friend who plays bodog (though i'm guessing this is an underhanded offer [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

Well while bonus is deducted from MGR and may in some situations amount to 100% rakeback in many cases it has a slower unlock rate than the rate at which you rake.

Ie. lets say it takes 1000 hands to clear a bonus of $100 but you spend 500 hands clearing the bonus but give 500 hands away. Then rakeback would kick in for those additional 500 hands.

None of the big bonus systems are designed to let the poker room go +/- profit over time. Especially since all the transactions via VISA / Neteller etc cost the sites money which has to come from somewhere. They also give away a certain % of their revenue to affiliates / network operators so it wouldnt make sense that way [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
