River Belle

[chigori]

Just finished with Party bonus and am thinking of doing the River Belle one. I'm new to the whole bonuswhoring thing but it's $125 and I think I need to be dealt into 875 hands with a pot equal or larger then $5 (their min req. rake is 25c and they take 5% of pot for rake)

Anybody tried to clear it? or know what the tables are like there... I'd want to get the hands playing 0.25/0.50 or 0.50/1.00, all limit... doable?

First of all check this thread, it's only a few days old:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...e=3#Post5628605 (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=5628605&an=0&page=3#Post 5628605)

Second of all, the bonus isn't doable at 0.25/0.50. The pot must be 5$ or more for the hand to be counted as a raked hand and the average pot in that limit is way too low. So you should play 0.50/1$ in which you can clear the bonus fairly easily.

The play there is fairly tight I think but I don't have much to compare with. There are usually 2-3 tables full at 0.50/1. Oh and River Belle is part of Prima.

It's a good bonus.

It's a great bonus for .5/1 and above.

PM me if you want a referral, you would get an extra $25. The bonus clears quickly but you need to play 50NL or 50/1 limit to clear it. They have freerolls every day also. I had no trouble cashing out. If you deposit with netteller you get an extra $25. So if you have a referral and deposit with netteller, you can get a $150 bonus by playing 875 raked hands.

I cleared it at NL$50, went pretty quick. I like the mini view as it makes multi-tabling very easy.

Can anyone verify this? I bet the referral can't couple with the deposit bonus.

Referral bonus clears after 200 raked hands concurrently. It should be auto-credited. I have 2/2 successful referrals after giving referree explicit instructions.

With referral, $200 deposit thru neteller, you get $25 after 200 raked hands auto-credited. After 700 raked hands, you get the $100 signup bonus auto-credited (but you have to wait 48 hours before it appears). After 875 raked hands, you may get the $25 neteller bonus auto-credited after waiting 48 hours, or you may have to contact them.

chigori,

This is a good bonus. Not too difficult to clear it. Games are tight though (15 VP$ isn't unusual). Mostly weak tight at .5/1. The 6 max tables are pretty soft if you play short-handed at all.

Good luck,
jkd

I'll go .5/1 if necessary. Got 30 days to clear it so should be doable.

If you want a referral let me know, message me. You'll get an extra $25 and I'll give you $40 of my referral bonus. That comes out to a smooth $65 extra in your pocket.

Not at all.

The bonus was a breeze to clear. I did it really fast. But getting the bonus was another thing. after about 5 emails and 2 phonecalls I finally got it. getting the bonus took 4xs longer than it took to clear it.

But as far as the bonus goes very very easy.

[fluxpoker]

I just have to ask.. you didnt need any bonus code or anything like that? just download the client/software..and then register your account and finally deposit $200 to get the bonus? well you need to play 875 raked hands or whatever.. but thats the deal..right?

I started today and have been playing for 1.5 hour.. 139 raked hands and $120 up

Yes, I tried to play at one of the skins (I forgot which one). They wouldn't let me get the bonus at the 2nd site.

Most people just need to chill and have some patience about the bonus. I waited about 48 hours and then sent one e-mail politely asking when I could expect to receive my bonus. The bonus was then credited within 12 hours. If I had never sent that I e-mail I'm sure that I still would have received the bonus. RiverBelle isn't going to hose anyone over $100...

[JussiUt]

I don't think there's going to be any problems with the bonus payment or with the cashout. Most of the problems that I've heard of have occurred because of some spam filter which blocks the site's e-mails.

I did Golden Riviera first before River Belle but I didn't have any problems receiving the bonus. I don't think they really care but I wouldn't mention anything about other bonuses voluntarily just to be safe.

That's not bad.. what stake level?

[fluxpoker]

i finished the bonus ($125) in a couple of days playing .25/.50 .. didnt hit my account so I mailed them.. they told me to wait another 24h .. so I did.. and I mailed them again when it didnt show up in my account.. so they told me they got some probs and they are going to add it manually, should take about 24-48h

I dont think there is going to be any probs. but ill get back later with more info

[sunnypoker]

check out royalpocket.com before signing up to riverbelle
i think u'll get a better deal than the RAF

[OziBattler]

I think Riverbelle has recently changed the clearance rate from 7x to 9x

BW now says "Must play 9 raked hands for each $1 in bonus money."

Its true so now you must play 9x125=1125 raked hands.
Bye the way, is there any affiliate who is offering a good rb deal on river belle?

[fluxpoker]

i had some problems getting the bonus to my account but mailed the CS and they fixed it manually.. i just cashed it out (to neteller)

my experience is that the bonus is rather easy to clear at 0.25/0.50 NL and the CS is very quick with replies (1-2h)

oh yeah.. when i signed up it was 7x and they have now changed to 9x .. but still a good deal if you ask me
