Sorry if this a stupid question that's been answered before: what exactly do they mean by "significant amount of play is required"? One hour? 5 hours?

last reload I deposited $800, played $1/2 shorthanded for about 30 minutes, then withdrew $804 without incident. their strictness may vary as this kind of stuff goes on, though. I can afford to leave a certain amount idle in my UB account at all times if necessary.

Does anybody know if I'm able to withdraw money, let's say right now, and then deposit if for the bonus after it reaches my Neteller? Do they have rules about withdrawals during the reload period, etc?

Bump for a good question. Also, what if I do the opposite? Make a deposit, then immediately withdraw that money? (Obviously, I would still have other money in the site to clear the bonus with.) TIA

I've donet hat before and things were fine, however I heard UB cracked down on this and started revoking some of the bonuses when people did this so now I play a few orbits before I cash out.

I figure they have some really simple query to identify people who deposit and then withdraw with no play.

For the record, I made a withdrawal of $400 after seeing the bonus. The next day the money was in Neteller and I immediately deposited it for the full bonus.

As for the withdrawal after depositing question, UB's site is very ambiguous. They say they have the right to revoke the bonus money without "significant play." Whatever that means, I don't know. I normally put in a day or two worth of play before making any witdrawals, and I haven't had any problems.

This rules. I just cleared the other one a few days ago. The UB bonus clears much faster than full tilt.

I can also give a big FU to party for not giving me any bonuses for over a month.

this is highly dependent on what limits you play.

for micro games, the UB bonus is worth 100% rakeback equivalent, but capped at 5 cents per hand. once you start playing above $1/2 LHE or 50c/$1 NL, then you're getting shortchanged a bit.

Full Tilt bonus is 54% rakeback, but you can earn up to 18 cents bonus per hand on a max $3 rake in high limit games. this bonus would clear faster than UB once you reach an average pot size of $20 per hand which rakes $1 (minimum 6 cents bonus).

but of course, neither of these sites are even close to the best bonus deals for low limit players in general.

UB bonus + RB isn't too bad though.
