Has anyone done this before, as in, do a reload bonus, and only get 1/2 way through it before time is up? Does anyone know if they will give me 1/2 of the money if I email support, or is this a lost cause?

Thanks,

P. Dirty

I emailed anyways. Let's have some fun with this.

Here is my email.

Dear HP (Hollywood Poker) support,

Recently, I had the opportunity to sign up for a
reload bonus, the 100%
up to $100. Due to an emergency in the family, I
was not able to make
enough points to clear the bonus, about 700 of the
1200 needed. I was
wondering if it was possible, since i cleared over
1/2 the points, if it
would be possible to receive 1/2 the bonus, or $50.
I have been a long
time player on this site, and I think I deserve it.
If this is not
possible, I understand, but I will not return to
your poker site.

Thank you,

XXXXXXXXXX

depends on the site. Party skins usually have about a 24 hour grace period from the expiration date. but once it's formally yanked, I doubt there's any recourse.

Hi XXXXXXXXX,

Thank you for contacting Hollywood Poker support.

I have reviewed your account and it shouldn't be a
problem for us to fulfill your special request. But
please note that we will not be able to do this
again in the future. Fulfilling this request is an
act of goodwill gesture from Hollywood Poker to you.


However, I can only deposit the $50 into your after
your bonus is been expired which is on the 1st of
January 2006.

Just write in to us again after that and we'll
manually credit that amount into your account.
Sorry for the inconvenience

Happy New Year!

Should you have any further queries, do not
hesitate to contact us.


Regards,
Jeff

Just curious:
Did you really have a family emergency and were you really planning not to return to the site if they didn't pay? Or was that just a clever "email bluff"?

1. I hate my family. If there was an emergency, I would probably hang up.

2. I'm not depositing another dime into that site. I'm taking that $50 and running.

Why shouldn't I have posted it? Is James Woods going to see this and take it away from me? Or maybe one of the other C list "celebs" that play there will. They probably need the $50 more than I do...

lucky, sites can give reloads and still turn a profit because 1) people don't finish in time or 2) people go broke. I'm suprised they credited this to you, but congrats.

Maybe you shouldn't post it because now there is less of a chance they will be so gracious for the next guy who asks?
