The Platinum Poker Club Match Bonus...Any one tried it?

[Rob Blackburn]

I saw they would match up to $200.

Says you have to play 3000 raked hands before any withdraw, is that the norm?

I have only started to bonus whore a little so I'm not sure if its any good.

Platinum is just starting out. It might be best to stick to playing their (very generous)freerolls for the time being, as I doubt that at this point they have the traffic that would allow you to play 3000 raked hands.

I agree. They strongly resemble Prima sites, but they don't appear to be affiliated; I gather they're probably using Microgaming software. So far, I'm just playing in the freerolls, and they are indeed generous. Here's a snippet from the tournament summary they sent me from last night:

1st: player: AdairYatoo - $250 prize awarded
2nd: player: Labbat - $150 prize awarded
3rd: player: Layla - $120 prize awarded
4th: player: DODGEIT - $100 prize awarded
5th: player: jagg - $90 prize awarded
6th: player: garrenh1 - $80 prize awarded
7th: player: saint44 - $70 prize awarded
8th: player: the_gizmo - $60 prize awarded
9th: player: ziggy - $50 prize awarded
10th: player: PsychoPig - $30 prize awarded

I haven't cashed yet, though. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
