How harsh are the cryptos for BWing??

CourtJester · #1 06-30-2005, 09:58 PM

Ive just got my $200 to start building a bankroll and put it into paradise this last week and cleared the first deposit bonus quickly and on a good upswing at .5/1, so now im wondering how are the cryptos just for BWing to get my bankroll up. I saw them listed on homers guide but ive read a couple of post around here that they are rock gardens the vast majority of the time due to the great monthly bonuses. Any info would be appreciated.

The probem with Crypto is that it ties up yr money, and when all you have is $200 then this can be pretty significant. They have to snailmail you a PIN from the UK (2-3 weeks) and then it takes 3 days for yr cashout to hit Neteller. Whoring Crypto is fine, but I think you should wait till you have ~$1000. Tieing so much of a small roll up really limits yr options.

If you want to whore the Cryptos with your roll you should start with William Hill. You DO NOT need a pin to withdraw. The bonus is hourly, play 5 table hours get 25 pounds, about $45. Good luck. Oh yeah for the bonus you probably have to play at least 1/2 limit or .5/1 no/pot limit.

Yeah, the problem with cryptos is that they tie up alot of cash. I have 200 at each of the monthly bonus sites (7 or 8) and cash out so I'm down to 200 again when they reach 400. That means I have at least 1.5-2.5k in the crypto sites and it takes a few days to cash out. This is a problem if you need cash for the weakly absolute reloads since you don't have time to cash out before the absolute reloads expire...

You shouldn't even think about whoring the cryptos until you have a few hundreds at least, except for WH. You need to play 1/2 which you don't have the bankroll for either. Wait until you have like 1.5k. Make sure you get a rakeback deal for each crypto site you sign up on! They don't deduct the bonus from the rakeback which is great. I will loose hundreds of $ this year because I didn't sign up with a rakeback deal on interpoker. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I began in a similar position as you did. If you're interested in BWing the cryptos I'd suggest starting with Interpoker this month. If you goto www.bonuswhores.com and check out their bankroll guide you'll find a deposit code that can earn you 100 extra bucks on your sign up. In addition they'll give you a maximum of $90 for a $90 deposit. All you need to do is clear 720 raked hands. Both bonuses (the sign up and the deposit) can be cleared simultaneously so if you break even, you'll get 190 on your first month. This should help you on your way to getting started with some of the other hourly bonus sites that the cryptologic network has. I've been doing this for about 4 months now and even with my inability to play during the last semester I've still managed to turn my $200 investment into $1100. Hope this helps. G'luck

Beware of Interpoker. I don't know how it worked before, but in July it works like this:

"PLEASE NOTE: There are a couple of changes to the Poker wagering requirements that start in July:

"Firstly the wagering required to clear your bonus to play in poker is coming back down to 5 (five) times the bonus in raked hands. For example a $90 bonus will require only 450 raked hands to clear.

Secondly the definition of a raked hand at InterPoker is changing. From July a raked hand will only be counted when 1 unit (£/$/€) or over is raked. This is the equivalent of a $20 pot. Every hand you are dealt cards and the total pot is $20 or more a raked hand will be counted towards your bonus."

You are going to have trouble clearing this bonus in 0.5/1 and even 1/2 will be a slog I would think?

Yes, interpoker is effectively dead for micros players. 1/2 pots hardly ever get to 20. You can do it in the casino if that's your bag--check the internet forum for details.

Ugh. I didn't realize that Interpoker had changed at the beginning of this month. I was hoping to be able to clear their 2000 raked hand bonus for 100 bucks, but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen unless I play about 100,000 hands between now and the end of august. Thanks for the info. I think I'll go withdraw my money now.
