I have been playing at totalbet for over two years, The bonuses have been excellent.

I knew the bonus structure had changed, from 300 hands to 250 raked hands. I recieved the bonus for nov and dec, I assumed I played the 250 raked hands, but now I find out it was the 300 hands bonus incorrectly given to me.

I know it is my own fault I didn't read the t&c on the new bonus. I got the email saying they were taking away the dec bonus and didn't think much of it (stupid I know).

I was a bit shocked when I went I went to clear the Jan bonus and there was $50 less in my a/c. I quickly worked out what was happening, and then set out clearing the Jan Bonus.

I quickly worked out it wasn't raked hands in the true sense of the word (anything raked under a dollar counts 1/4). So instead of taking me a couple of hours it took me ages to clear my bonus (I only keep a small bankroll in the cryptos and play 1/2).

I won some money playing NL, but it still sucked grinding away that bonus.........

so Total bet can go and get F'ed, there are many better bonuses out there. No wonder there are never any games on the cryptos. I have now cashed out and will only play at the cryptos that have hourly bonuses

Enjoy

You sure about that Vava? I know that Victor Chandler now accepts US, but hadnt heard that Ritz did.

If true, it would be SWEET...another Crypto in the lineup. Does Ritz also have a monthly casino bonus?

I havent played Plex since the new raked hand structure went into effect...though Im thinking about taking some shots at 2/4...it does clear rather quickly at this level(at least from my observations from the last couple of evenings)

It's listed in the post version of the Bonus Whoring 101 Guide (http://www.bonuswhores.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4720).

Maybe I'm getting confused with Victor Chandler....Thats where I had my first online account....

Ritz and Betfair then are the only ones that are non-us then ??

I believe you were thinking about VC...all those different sites could confuse anyone;)

Since we're on the subject, how is VC? Im thinking I might give it a try...any advice?

Thanks

VC was where I learnt my trade....it was pretty easy ....

However, There is no comparison with the cryptos/party/xskins/prima/pokerroom skins....

The bonuses take forever to clear on VC, and there is not the wealth of players that the other sites have...

I used to play it at work as it doesn't support Pokertracker and I took my own notes....However, the play is terrible on there....If thats any consolation...I would say try it - It supports neteller etc...and see what you think of it...

Vava, please put back the hot brunette chick on your avatar. Much better than jiggly lady.
