bdc30 0 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 i'm in. Phaetos there.. but it only gave me $10.Just noticed something when I look at my account status.Play Money : $ 1000.00 Real Money : $ 10.00 (via the promotion code)Promotion : $ 75.00 Pending Promotions/Comps So... $85 total?To get the other $75 you have to make a real money deposit and accumulate a few hundred player points.All in all, free money is never a bad thing though.

tab 0 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Hi All,Just wanted to thank the person who posted this. I've been having a lot of fun playing this site with the free $25. I've gotten it up to about $100 playing the .25 NL tables since you can't really get power points at the .10 tables. Would've been up around $150, but I played a bit drunk last night and lost $50 trying to bluff too much.But one thing has been bothering me about the site. It seems like the miracle draws happen quite frequently at this site as opposed to others or real life situations. I've made 4 straight flushes in the 3 days I've playing there (seriously, if it's cheap, draw at them) and I've seen pocket aces to the river 5 times and lost all 5 times. I've also seen a ton of boat v. boat hands. People at my tables speculate that they may be doing this stuff to drive up the rakes. Has anyone else experienced this type of thing? Also, while this type of thing might be horrible from a "making you a better poker player" perspective, does anyone have any tips for possibly exploiting this? As I've already said, I draw at cards more and bet my non-nutty big hands less...other ideas? Link to post Share on other sites

Also if you close your eyes and go all-in preflop with any hand containing the 4 you are guaranteed a win.....have faith the site will pull it out for you. Link to post Share on other sites
psujohn 0 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 The code 20125 doesn't work for me . Is there a new one?Same for me. It says "you must enter a valid code".Oh, well, looks like we missed out on this one unless someone else comes up with a working code. Link to post Share on other sites

vonteego3 0 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I just made a withdrawal, and when I e-mailed to ask why it was taking so long to hit my Neteller acct, they told me they sent a check because I "won the money with our promotional chip deposit, and have never deposited with Neteller."Anyone else get this? Stupid. Link to post Share on other sites

Stupid.Yeah, I got this, too. Nowhere did they mention this on the site... otherwise I would have made a NT deposit and prompt w/d. I hate paper checks.TAlso, many thanks to the OP. I was able to net an extra $35 in a few hours one night at $25 nl. The $25 and a little change is still there, and I'll see what I can do with that. I imagine that I will never clear the points needed to actually w/d the promo chip $. Link to post Share on other sites

TheDuck21 0 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I just tried it and it says "Transaction Declined - Chip code has already been used!" but I haven't used it and there is no deposit in my account. So I can only conclude that the offer has ended.Good luck to those who made it! :-) -Duck Link to post Share on other sites
TheDuck21 0 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 It looks like it is sensitive to an IP address and someone else had already done this. :-)So I have my promotion! Woohoo!! Thanks, powerplayer. Link to post Share on other sites
