Why I Love Absolute Poker

[banditdad]

Unfortunately I signed up before I knew about rakeback and now I don't think I can do it. But they give away so much $$ it may not matter. (Thoough I would have liked rakeback [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img])

Can you get 350$ sign-up bonus PLUS 500$ Neteller bonus?

I don't get rake back either. I signed up before it was offered. I suppose if I was going to play 1k hands a day there at some point, I'd get motivated to find a way to get rake back though.

But for now, with the number of hands I play there each month, with the bonus money, it's not a huge deal. But it could be one day I suppose.

I BELIEVE that the bonus deal is 35% up to $350 but if you deposit thru Neteller you can make it 50% up to $500

Oh ok, well, either way = [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I'd <3 it too if the software wasn't so awful.

And then they pitch in $50 new player bonus. So, you deposit $1000 and get $550 in bonus to work off. Before you get that cleared another bonus ($200 max) will roll around. Before you get $200 cleared another bonus($200-400 possibly 2 deposits allowed weekend bonus for $400-600 for the week). Then there will be another bonus, then another, and another, and another.

Absolute drawbacks - SLOOOOOW doggy software. Crap for TECHNICAL support. Clueless technical support. Did I mention the doggy slow annoying software? Midweek games can be hard to find. Hard to get a game above 5/10.

The software is SLOOOOOOOOOOW, 3 table max, not hudge selection of tables (more players will of course change that).

If I added it up correctly, there was $2500 in bonus offered last month. Rakeback is just that much more.

I signed up under an affiliate, but there was a mix-up with the affiliate code, which meant I didn't roll under the affiliate. This of course meant no rakeback for me. (My affiliate mentioned that the same thing was happening for about 50% of his signups.

We both tried to work with AP to get it fixed, but no luck. I played there so awhile without RB, but the more I thought about the situation, the more upset I got that they couldn't/wouldn't fix it. So, I stopped playing there for a few months.

I then got an e-mail from the VIP Promo Guy, at AP with an account specific offer. I replied that the offer was good, but I had to decline as I stopped playing at AP. I then explained the situation to him (without using the word rakeback).

He (the AP promo guy) suggested that I just create a new account under my affiliate. He agreed to close my current account and even gave me some cash (in the new account) for the AP points I earn on my old account.

Point of this long story....

It doesn't hurt to ask if it will be ok to close your account and open up a new one. Based on my experience, I'm sure they will go for it.

If you don't have an AP bonus to clear either a) you don't have enough BR to max the bonus or b) you have a problem with poker and need a 12 step plan. $600 a week in bonus is way too many hours playing each week.
