No, I'm not in the royal flush club. And no I did not deposit any money. Also the money did not appear as pending bonus. It showed in the regular account.

It's rakeback.

[emonrad87]

Do you have a rakeback account with empire?

I got my royal-flush club bonus today ($100 for a $1k deposit) and it read the exact same as your e-mail.

But i was expecting the bonus obviously. My e-mail arrived at 8:41am (and I'm assuming this was when the money was credited....which goes directly to your acct, just like yours was).

You need 15k points to be in the Royal-Flush club....there have been situations where 2+2'ers were in it and had no idea (not that I don't believe you or anything).


since you said that you had not deposited $680 though I'm not sure where this could be coming from.

Perhaps they somehow credited someone else's $68 to your acct.


Doesn't sound like some sort of table-malfunction because it usually says "we're sorry. the game 4056i46i34 was interrupted. $68 has been refunded to yor account." or something like that.


It really does sound like a royal-flush bonus so the fact that you haven't deposited but still got this e-mail is kind weird.

Did you lose ~$86 playing SAABPO?

Ok, I didn't know about the royal flush club at all...so I took a look at empire's site. Am I looking at this right? Does it take 25,000,000 raked hands just to get into the VIP club?
