Question for seasoned bonus whores...

[offTopic]

I've opened an account on Empire to get the signup bonus. Once I play the hands, assuming I have any money left [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] can I directly transfer funds back to my Partypoker account? Since I've been with Party long enough to get the interest, I like to maintain as high a balance as possible there.

TIA

just to tag another question onto your post, if you don't mind

i have never chased bonuses - my mistake, i'm realising - i've always left enough money on each site to play where i want when i want

but the stars one caught my eye, i must admit - (i nearly made a terrible mistake by going to withdraw funds before i found out that that nullified the bonus - make sure you read all the conditions if you are new to bonus-chasing too)

then i read about the party one

i believe i saw a thirty day clause in the party one - you have to "earn" your bonus with play within the thirty days

is this a common clause, and, again, is it something that you have to look out for in every bonus offer?

thanks

For the first posters question. You can not transfer from party to empire.

For Mike Haven, I dont read the fine print usually because i will clear it fast enough anyway. But i know truepoker usually puts a required date in theirs, and not sure about the other sites.

I'm new to Party, I'd heard about the interest paid on balance kept there, but don't know any details. You mentioned that you have been there long enough to get the bonus. Is this something they've discontinued, or is there a certain length of time I have to be active on their site to start getting this?

Deets please.

to get the 10% interest you have to have made your first deposit before February 1st of this year.

Bummer. Thanks for the info.

On the upside, Party and Empire transfer to Neteller VERY fast (15 mins or so), so movement between the two sites is very easy....and helps the bonus side of things too.

You also need to maintain a $200 minimum balance but if you haven't made a deposit yet this is a moot point.

Empire and party - you have 30 days to play the raked hands to collect the bonus. ( from the time you make the deposit )

Pokerstars - as far as I know there is no time limit to play the necessary hands.
