Crazy Poker perposterous bonus

grouchie · #1 08-11-2005, 04:36 PM

according to the reply I just received from customer service, they are no longer offering the perposterous bonus, the 33% rakeback has replaced that.

Only a little annoyed because two days ago a CSA responded to an email of mine informing me about the perposterous bonus and the 33% rakeback... telling me I can claim both.

Just letting you all know that this appareantly doesn't exist any longer.

Dang! I was planning to sign up there this weekend. Did you ever find out how they calc the 33%?

this was the last answer I got from them.

- The bonus will be calculated as 33% of a player's earnings for
Crazy Poker (thus it will be on Net rake)

Here's the response I received as well:

A raked hand is the fee the house charges for each hand of poker. It is a percentage that is taken from the pot after each betting round; <font color="red">therefore you will need to contribute to the pot.</font> There are not rakes in Tournaments as the entrance fee covers the house fees.

- This bonus will be credited to the player for their play from the 1st of August up to 26th of August.

- The bonus will be credited within 4 business days after the 27th of August 2005.

- The bonus will be calculated as 33% of a player’s earnings for Crazy Poker (thus it will be on Net rake)

I was only able to do the 40% up to $40 signup bonus. Got my credit and cashed out. Not sure if I'll play there again if they're not doing the monthly $100.

Hmm - weird that some are getting the bonus. I asked and received this email:

Thank you for your e mail.

We regret to inform you that the preposterous promotion has ended and we are unable to credit the $100.00 bonus any longer.

The new promotion is the Rakeback.

Just as soon as I get done talking CrazyPoker up to all of my friends, it goes from one of my favorite new places to play to one of the countless poker rooms I probably won't ever see again.

Whats wrong with 1/3rd of a rake rebate. Even the dumbass donaters will love a free 200 a month.......

This is whats wrong with it...

Old way - 700 raked hands = $100. (~900 total hands 50NL or 100NL)

New way - 4533 hands at 100NL = $61.38 in rakeback (7385 hands at this rate = $100)

New way - 5423 hands at 50NL = $53.13 in rakeback (10207 hands at this rate = $100)

These are based on my own stats playing full-ring NL with a fairly tight VP$IP (15-17). A looser player or 6-max player might get better results, but you see my point.
