Absolute Poker

If I deposit for the signup bonus can I withdraw my deposit and still retain the bonus until im ready to play it? Also what's the average withdrawal time for Neteller? Longer for first withdrawal?


Thanks in advance for any help.

[Blowup Doll]

Yes. It takes about 2-3 days to withdraw. Shouldn't be any longer for the first one.

[pdub4285]

Thanks alot

The bonus will expire after 60 days.

Just to clarify...the bonus is not credited to your account a la Pacific Poker or Royal Vegas. It is a pending bonus. You can withdraw and come back and clear it later. I'm pretty sure this is what you meant but just wanted things to be clear. Also, I've never had a cashout take longer than 36 hours...and I've played there for more than 2 years.

Every cashout i've had has taken longer than 36 hours. I waited 3 days for the last one. BW says the avg cashout time is 69 hours. I think it all depends on the account.

Absolute is an oddball on cashouts. Sometimes they are next day, others get "reviewed" then reversed, and you actually have to go back in and request a new cashout. This has happened to me twice. The second time I sent a nasty email.

Thanks for all the help/advice guys, much appreciated. Overall you guys have had good experiences with Absolute though?

I like the bonus setup on absolute poker. It cashes out 10 dollars every 100 raked hands. (I may be wrong on exact amount here but you get the idea) This allows you to get some bonus back if you don't clear the whole thing. Also, absolute poker has bonus almost every week, which is nice. I have also had no problems cashing out with them.

The only downside is the player base is limited imo. (least the low limit I play)

There are better deals out there. Any 5x bonus is better.

[pdub4285]

Yeah I know...I've done most of them besides some B2B ones but I see absolute has pretty frequent reloads so I figured I might as well get setup there incase I get really ambitious and run out of other stuff.

[Blowup Doll]

Cool. Make sure you get RB along with it, or it's not worth it.

[pdub4285]

Yup I got that all setup earlier so should be good to go.

Thanks again.

keep in mind that any cashouts over $3,000 will require documentation.. valid ID + utility.

Most of the long cashout times are because Absolute has a rule about making you wait 48 hours until you are allowed to withdraw.

Until recently, you could fill out the cashout request form, and if it hadn't been 48 hours yet, they'd simply sit on it for a while while you got hotter and hotter under the collar. In one of the recent software upgrades, this changed, so that your cashout request is automatically and immediately rejected if the 48 hours isn't up.

If the 48 hours IS up, your cashout happens sometime in the next day - I'd say 12 hours after requesting is typical, but 5 and 20 are both possible.

48 Hours from last deposit I assume you mean?

[DuderinoAB]

Yes...this is one of my pet peeves...it makes it more difficult to take advantage of their bonuses. I recommend having 2000 chilling in Neteller to take advantage of their bonuses because you can't deposit, withdraw immediately, and deposit again. Its usually 72-96 hours from deposit to recieving funds back. Also, this is occasionally a real pain when they do holiday bonuses cuz you're looking at making 5 1,000 deposits in 5 days sometimes. I rarely have 5,000 in Neteller.

If you need that much bonus, you should easily have the bankroll for it.

I'm thinking of signing up for Absolute with the following deal: www.pokersourceonline.com (http://www.pokersourceonline.com)

Is this ok? And can I clear the bonus at the nanolimits I'm playing (0,15/0,30 at PP at the moment)?

Why the hell would you do that?

I want a copy of poker tracker.

[Blowup Doll]

You'll get more money doing RB. Then you can buy PT.

You're crazy if you sign up for some measily bonus and prize instead of rakeback. I did several sites a while ago like that and I really regret it now. At the time I was playing micro limits like you are, and I never thought the rakeback would be significant. Now that I am playing 100 and 200 NL and I am generating hundreds of dollars in rake every week, I realize my error. If you are going to do the PSO thing for the prize, then I would say you should do one of the smaller sites that you probably aren't going to look at doing long term. Plus, you won't be able to clear the bonus easily by playing micro limits at Absolute. It will take you FOREVER if you play anything less than 1/2 or 100NL.

At least I know that this wasn't one of my better ideas /images/graemlins/wink.gif.

[roamer590]

Damn. I already signed up with AP through an affiliate with no RB. Can make a new account with rakeback ?
