Thanks! Do you know the raked hadn requirements / time restrictions on this bonus? I can't seem to find it.

so, uh....

[DaNutsInYoEye]

She is probably referring to the initial deposit bonus which gives you 30 days. The NEWDEAL re-load bonus is 7 days.

[G_host]

Thanks that's what I suspected, when I'll wait a couple of days. Got to much going on to clear a 1400 raked hands the next couple of days

[twosevoff]

Is it just me or is party and skins counting raked hands played differently now for clearing bonuses?
i.e. I've played 230 hands now but only have credit for 120 for the pokernow bonus.

[vqc]

Just to warn all of you, the PokerNOW TOS now states that you cannot have accounts at the other party skins. (CREDIT 2+2)

uh.........so what do we do about this?

[evovolvo]

I read through the TOS, and yeah you can't have accounts at other partyskins. It also says:

7. Anti-Cheating Software.
We are committed to detecting and preventing software programs which are designed to enable any artificial intelligence ("AI Software") to play on our site such as, but not limited to, odds-calculators, hand-strength calculators, opponent-profiling or anything else that enables you to have an unfair advantage using such software.

I'm running Pokertracker & Playerview, and that has got to fall under "opponent-profiling" if anything does.

[Strung]

Honestly I wouldn't worry about it. If you have your accounts setup then you are set. If they wanted to ding people over this they could write a very simple piece of software to detect people with accounts on different skins.

make pokernow account off "clean" computer w/o any previous PP-skin installation..usually at library or cybercafe.

login at home and play..when they say "call us blah blah" call and they'll just ask if you have account at other skins, you respond "yes" and they'll say "thanks, have a nice day" and activate your account.

Yeah, I know, but if their terms of service say that you can't have accounts at other party skins, the latter half of your story is more likely to go

"they'll just ask if you have account at other skins (or they'll find out through software that comes with the program when you download it); you respond yes, and they'll say 'thanks, have a nice day' and then freeze your account and all funds in it."

Considerably less fun.

[ender555]

if you don't already have an account there, would it be best to sign up and get the 20% to 100, then reload immediately after finishing? Or can you stack both of those? My bankroll is getting fat and I could handle that...

I tried using newdeal as my first deposit and it said i could only put in a maximum of 500 ... weird

[Legendash]

twosevoff, are you playing 25NL? You need to see a flop and have the pot at $3 for it to count (i think). At 25NL a lot of hands don't meet these criteria

[twosevoff]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[sinky]

Hands are now raked at $2 for NL $25

[Legendash]

Play the 50NL, i moved up recently and the players are easier to beat than at 25, though they are tighter preflop it is really easy to know when you're beat and if you get an overpair they will call down with TPTK all day, i made 300 bucks yesterday (100 from bonuses) and almost every hand will count towards your bonus. Of course you need to be bankrolled for 50 first, but don't fear the next level up, it's goood.

That's funny, I just had the same problem.

or it will go as I said because many people on internet forums of 2+2 confirmed so, despite what their T&C says.

[ensign_lee]

I didn't say that's what WOULD happen; I merely stated that's what COULD happen.

[eeeee]

I didn't say that's what WOULD happen; I merely stated that's what COULD happen.

It may happen eventually -- just like Party reigning in their affiliates recently, using the long-ignored terms in their affiliate agreements. It suits Party (and all the skins) to compete for our business... for now. That's why we need to make hay while the sun shines, play nice with the signup bonuses, and move on to another site when the arrangements becomes too one-sided.

Doesn't Party control PokerNow completely now? I bet that would be the first site where they choose enforce the one-skin rule. If ever.

[BoondockSaint]

What in the fuck. No matter when u deposit ur ass only has till may 8th at midnight to clear it no matter what. Im gonna deposit on may 8th at 11:30 and bitch those mofos out asking em how in the fuck they expect me to clear 1400 hands in 30 damn minutes. They need to change that shit.

WOAH WOAH WOAH. HOLD UP!!!! WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I only have 'till the 8th to clear this bonus, no matter WHEN I deposit?

[Legendash]

According to my page i have a month to clear this, (see below),if i am reading these american dates right?

[ensign_lee]

OK. We've got three different things here being said.

1) You've got 1 week
2) You've got until March 8th at 12:00, no matter when you deposit
3) You've got a month.

When I e-mailed customer support, they said that I had a month.
SOmebody else on here said that he had a week.
Boondock says that everyone only has until the 8th. WTF?

[ChezJ]

i believe legendash because he's the only one with any evidence to support his claims

[ensign_lee]

Mine says one WEEK.

After reading the 2+2 thread on this it appears that originally everyone was given until the 8th to clear regardless of when you made your deposit. It appears that anyone who e-mailed support was told they had a month to clear. Now it appears thjat the mixup may have been corrected since some of you are seeing a month to clear on your bonus page.

Mine only had to the 8th to clear, but since I deposited 2 days ago that was plenty of time for me to clear it.

Is it me or does it seem that any time Party/Skins have a bonus there is always some sort of fuck up? You'd think they would have this down by now.

[ChezJ]

wow then that is f-ed up

[eeeee]

I tried using newdeal as my first deposit and it said i could only put in a maximum of 500 ... weird

That's funny, I just had the same problem.

I understand that your first deposit at the P-Now can only be $500 max.

Now it appears thjat the mixup may have been corrected since some of you are seeing a month to clear on your bonus page.

I'll buy that. Probly sumthin like this:

• Some employee posts some complete nonsense about a new bonus that his boss un-carefully described
  Bonus Support Dept receives a flood of crazed emails
  Some boss with more than half a brain give an order to 'fix it'
  It all takes a day or three, but they're fix'n it.

Ever and always an adventure.

[Legendash]

Well i'm glad that's sorted out, gives me an excuse to play poker all the way through my finals instead of getting it all out of the way this week!

[BoondockSaint]

they actually fixed mine today - i logged in and it went from the 8th till next month on the 4th - im happy with that

[UG]

I cleared mine (1400 hands) in three days so it didn't matter to me either way.

[ChezJ]

they gave me 30 days on a reload! 7x.
