Interpoker Bonus question

[westmt01]

How quickly does Interpoker pay out a bonus after the raked hands requirement is met? I passed the magic number of 450 yesterday, and am still waiting for the bonus to be released.

Also, what good are the Poker Points? What can you use them for?

If your bonus isn't released, then your counting doesn't match theirs.

Note that if you collected Intercasino bonuses in the past without meeting wagering requirements, you might owe a lot more than 450 hands.

Thanks. Actually I used a counter that some guy on the Bonus Whores BB programed and posted, so maybe it doesn't work all that well. I guess I'll just keep playing until the bonus is released. Thanks again!

The counter posted at BW should work pretty good. Note that if you used to play the casino bonuses and busted out, the WR from that is now carrying over into the poker room. It took me nearly 2000 hands to clear the IP bonus last month.

This is my first month on Interpoker. I'm not really impressed. I figured I only needed 450 hands ($90 bonus x 5) to clear the bonus, and the BW counter says I have 470 raked hands. Something is wrong somewhere! Is Customer Service decent? Maybe I should e-mail them.

The BW counter will count all the hands it sees in your poker log viewer.

When you start it up, I think the default in the log viewer is to show your last 5 hands (although you can change this to show last 5 minutes instead). This will include hands from prior sessions, so when you first start up the poker client and the counter, you could be starting at a count of 5 rather than 0.

If you stop and start a lot, and have a lot of short sessions that you are counting and adding together to get to 470, it is possible that you are adding up to 5 bogus hands to your count with every session.

This was a new bonus system for them last month, but it seemed to work OK. I would play a few more hands, and ask for help from support when you get to 500 (by your count) if the bonus hasn't cleared yet.

Customer service is erratic, which is why I suggested playing a bit more before trying them.

Do you mean busted out the bonus, or busted out bonus+deposit? I was under the impression that if you busted out bonnus+deposit all WR were cleared.

I think if you busted out B+D then it resets. Only if you "busted out" just the bonus did the WR carry over. At least that's what my impression of it is.

Sounds like a good plan. Thanks again!

For the first time since I started playing in February, it took Intertops two days to pay my bonus after I reached the minimum raked hands.
