I still don't think it would have worked for him. I believe it's 15 days prior to the bonus period, not when the deposit was made. Could be wrong though.

It worked for me just a few minutes ago, and I haven't made a withdrawal from Empire all month.

It sounds like Empire wants the bonus whores and the losing players to get the bonuses. Any pro player that plays all their poker at Empire will not have many periods of no withdrawls for 15 days. If and when I do I will need more than the bonus to help me out of the slump.

Yeah, it sets the wrong incentives. It attracts those who play only for bonii, run through it as quickly as possible, immediately cash out and jump to the next site.

I understand the 15x rationale and its a natural evolution from the former 5x, 7x, 8x, 10x, 12x of the various Party skins taking into account that easy bonii have become gradually a losing proposition for the sites. However, the double whammy of jacking up the play through requirements and banning users and/or implementing shady cash out restrictions cannot be good for business.

I am currently playing SnGs anyway because they are more profitable for small buy ins (5+1 to 22+2). There are no bonii for SnGs on Party which may mean that the SnGs attract a minority SnG players who actually know what they are doing and a vast majority of the totally clueless who don't even care about rakeback and bonii. I hope they keep it that way.

Empire reminds me now of that song Hotel California.

You can check in but you can never leave.

Hi, guys.
I have the same problem:
Bonus was elapsed.
My last cashout was a week ago and I even didn't dream that Empire will give us a bonus this month.
It becomes harder and harder to get those "free money" from sites. New rule of "15-day restriction" without fixed day of bonus means that I should freeze my bankroll on Empire or forget about the next one bonus or (more than one?). Obviously, Empire guys transfer their financial responsibilities to us for free and we are supposed to lose our money flexibility to reduce their risks. Probably the idea of bonuses costs too much money and provide extremely low return and brings too much headache for greedy Empire bosses that they started to burry it. Probably they have already invented another more practical less-expensive method to advertise people and try to make all bonuswhores agree on their terms. They have all rights. They can do anything. They pay money to order the music. 15x raked hand condition gradually levels my rakeback and bonus. I will think about the change my own poker strategy to avoid playing for bonuses after vacation.
