Bet 365 question

DrunkHamster · #1 10-22-2005, 05:03 AM

I'm eyeing up Bet365's sign up bonus as well as the October bonus. My question is about the raked hands - on the sign up conditions page, it says "a raked hand is one where... a rake is taken of 25c and above". On the page for the october bonus, on the other hand, it says $1/$2 is the lowest limit possible to clear.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get this other $100 by playing .5/1, like I know some sites do, or are they strict on this?
Thanks

I think both

applies. That means you have to play 1/2 limit(or 0.5/1 NL) AND 25 cents should be taken. But I m not sure.

I've begun tackling this bonus, along with the October $100 by playing micro NL tables.

I've read that some users have claimed the bonus this way, but some haven't. My rake counter on the main screen has been going up steadily, although painfully slowly at these limits, (My bankroll is small. Lots of funds tied up from Boss sites atm.)

It's worth a shot at lower limits, at the very least the tables appear to be pretty soft.

signup can be cleared at .5-1 limit.
reload must be 1-2 limit or 1NL

do they clear simultaniously? (signup and reload, i'm guessing no but just curious...)

I heard they do, but seeing as I'm playing .5/1 it won't for me.

The signup can be cleared at 0.25/0.5 too, right? Only the rake must be >0.25 so it might take a while longer.

I was able to clear both the $50 signup bonus and the $100 October bonus at the $0.50/$1.00 limit. A pot size of $5 is required.

When I joined last month the sign-up and reload did clear at the same time. As long as you play 1/2 Limit or or .5/1 NL you shouldn't have a problem.

FYI... you are allowed 1 withdrawl every 30 days any more then that and they start charging you ($35 at pop I think [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]) so plan accordingly.
