* lines are brought to you by Sportsbook.com. For more details on POINT SPREADS and how they work please click on the ‘Football’ table icon or on the Sportsbook.com banner in our Lobby.

In cases where a player makes more than one purchase over the weekend, the bonus code used on the first purchase made will apply.

Actually last year's bonus was a 20% up to $200 but I suppose it's best not to look a gift horse in the mouth.

What are the games like at Paradise now? I haven't played there in years. What are the requirements to clear the bonus there?

Thanks,

some of the juiciest games ever

[AltarBoyCHA]

-10x raked hands ($.25 is a raked hand)

-games are often softer than party*

* by "often", i mean the 90% of the time that everyone on 2+2 is not clearing a reload bonus. but since the bonus money never expires, you don't have to clear it then. I never do.

Me too. I often do the same on Stars bonuses as well.

Though this time, I'll be diving right into it. (School books)

Paradise Bonuses make my tummy feel warm inside.

[bennyhana]

I forget, are Paradise bonii stackable?

[MycroftX]

Ya, usually. The last one actually had a cap over the three days though.

[midwestkc]

You can withdrawl immediately after depositing, right?

If I recall correctly, Paradise will also pay the Neteller InstaCash fee, so if your Neteller account is dry and you don't want to cash out someplace else, you can throw some fresh money at them.

The games are pretty good, but the software has major problems, and multitabling is kind of a hassle... Just wait until you try to get on a wait list /images/graemlins/grin.gif

That is correct, they will cover the instacash fee.

Doesn't Paradise only allow 3-tabling?

[Dave H.]

Used to be 3 tables, but it went to 4 tables some months ago.

[thing85]

Awesome, had no idea.

[onthebutton]

4 tables? Nice, that rules.

[AltarBoyCHA]

slight hijack: is that $25 transfer to sportsbook.com for $25/1x bonus still valid? does it need a bonus code?

Yes. I just clicked over from Paradise without transfering money, and it launched a web page with the details. No code needed.

[newb]

This is great.
On wich team should I bet?

There is another thread on this bet.

[Ineedaride2]

Anybody know if I can get the signup bonus and the superbowl bonus?

No chance they clear concurrently if so...

You can get both but it will require two deposits. And no, they will not clear concurrently. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Jimmy The Fish]

However, Paradise bonuses don't expire, so if you can deposit to get both bonuses, you can work them off at your leisure. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[mbishop]

And be sure to make the first deposit BEFORE this weekend since: "In cases where a player makes more than one purchase over the weekend, the bonus code used on the first purchase made will apply."

[HesseJam]

Sweet, so I can add another $100 to my remaining stacks of $550 Bonus. I really have to get around some time and clear those up.

[Noodles]

downloaded and logged in, i havent played there for a long time,
but i cant see anyway to deposit str8 in, just something about sportsfanatik,

i emailed and have not received a reply after 1 day.

what the hell is up with this place?

[Ragnar]

Good thing you didn't deposit successfully since this bonus doesn't start until midnight tonight. Wait til midnight EST log in, go to the cashier--follow instructions.

but there is no "buy chips" button or "deposit" tab

just some crap about transferring funds from sportsfanatik

GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR /images/graemlins/mad.gif /images/graemlins/mad.gif

[Sqwrlking]

In the Cashier window, I have the following buttons: Buy Chips, Deposit, Transfer Funds, Limits, History, Leave Cashier. If you are missing Buy Chips, then I guess either something is wrong with your software, or Paradise has somehow excluded you from depositing. Sounds weird.

[Noodles]

all i have is "transfer funds" "Leave Cashier" and "history"

and they wont respond to my emails,

what the f*****************************KKKKK ?????

[wonderwes]

It should be noted you can make a free $10 bet on sportsbook on the cointoss of the Superbowl from your Paradise account.

I just found out about this bonus now (Friday evening, 6:30 US Central time). I cashed some money out so that my Neteller balance would be up to $500 in order to take full advantage of the bonus. Does anyone know if the money should be in my Neteller account before Sunday afternoon when this expires?

If not, it's not too big of a loss, since I had $450 in there to begin with. But it would be nice to get that extra $10 in bonus money.

[bone77]

Paradise will pay the insta cash fees from Neteller so should be no problem whether you get the money or not.

[KSOT]

Just a friendly reminder, this is now active and only will be for a day and a half.

[Spleen]

I just got in an email battle with them about this same thing. Go to their site and set up a new account . They told me I had to do it this way because I am from a sportsbook. So, set up a new account and you should be fine. At least that what they told me, they havent verified my email address ( which is the same as my sportsbook) so I am not 100% yet will let you knwo. I am very tired I will repeat myself over and over and over...

[Seven247]

What are the lowest NL tables that Paradise has that you can get raked hands on? I know party has 5/10nl which are easy to get raked hands on with a low bankroll.

[Petro]

I'd argue that the Seahawks would be the best choice, since the Steelers are by far the more popular team. The Seahawks tournament will have fewer players in it to compete for prizes.

[/ QUOTE ]
I have never used Instacash before, only ETF. Do I have to set up anything special with Neteller, or just use the Instacash option when I deposit? Will I have to give Paradise my checking account number when I deposit by Instacash?

[shayneon]

This is Awesome. I went STEELERS-4.

My buddy, who I consider to be the worst sports better of all time, absolutely LOVES Seattle. Steelers should win big. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Good Luck!

[Sqwrlking]

Not being the best on timezones, is this bonus code active right now?

[Sammich]

Im new to Paradise and am curious how long I should wait to pull out my $500? Do I need to clear bonus first or can I withdraw the same/next day? I dont want to shoot myself in the foot as this is my 1st Paradise deposit and reload. So the plan is to deposit $200 for the 1st time deposit today. Tomorrow Ill deposit $500 for the reload then probably Monday withdraw about $600 of the funds to go back into Party. Would this work or do you forsee problems?
Also as I am new to Paradise Ill ask the noob ?s. What is the minimum limit table I can play at and still clear the bonus? Is there a minimal rake amount before a hand is considerd "raked"? Last but not least, is Paradise dealt or contributed? Thanks for all the info.

haha I hope you're right..i went steelers too. Not that I really care about the freeroll.

[Redd]

Crap, I just found out about this now and my whole roll is in paradise right now - is it going to be too late to cash out $500 and redeposit tomorrow?

true that, at 50c/1 clears easier than a prima 5x

[Fraubump]

So if the Steelers win by 4, no freerole? Seems dumb not to have used a 1/2 pt spread.

[goodguy_1]

Anybody try to enter both codes and get 2 deposit bonuses??

[/ QUOTE ]

lowest would be at 0.25/0.5 (Im assuming u play limit). A raked hand is when the pot gets to $5. so a $5 pot gets u a point. 100pts = $10 bonus cleared (ie 10c an point). Im finding that around 15-25% of hands at 0.25/0.5 get to the $5 pot. So it wont clear that fast but it will clear. Games are soft too. oh, and its dealt hands, bonuses stack and dont expire. sweet....I just wish the software werent so damn slow.

Yes everyone gets in. From the webpage...

[ QUOTE ]
Should the game end in a point spread tie (ie. Steelers 24 - Seattle 20), all players who used a bonus code will be invited to play in the special, private tournament.



[/ QUOTE ]

[AceofSpades]

I did the signup and got half of each bonus (signup and super-bowl) for total of $100, have emailed customer support.

Also I used steelers-4 so if the steeler win by 4 or more then I get in the tournament?

[MycroftX]

[ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

You can deposit and get $100 in bonus per day, so the max bonus over the two days is $200. It does not matter if you use the same code twice, or a different code each time. As long as you deposit in two different 24 hour periods, you can benefit from this bonus twice.

In the case that you used one code once and then the other code the second time, the code you used the first time counts as the team you picked.

So basically, it doesnt matter if you use both. You can still get the bonus twice. I chose steelers for my deposits.
$200 will clear like lightening.

-For future reference btw, because all paradise bonuses work like this. Unless they specifically state in their T&C for a particular bonus that there is a cap over the bvonuses period. The Thanksgiving this past Nov. for example had a cap on it.

[MicroBob]

Crap.
I didn't know this.
It expired at 4pm eastern. so I get 'the bonus is no longer valid'.

No biggie....but I would have liked $200 in bonus instead of $100.

[MycroftX]

Sorry I didn't spit this sooner bob.

I figured most people knew this, but I saw everyone asking so I thought I'd lay it down like it is.

[hemstock]

I got the bonus on Saturday. Tried it again today before 4pm and it did not work.

[MycroftX]

Did for me.

You probably didn't wait 24 hrs between the deposits.

Did my first one around 1:00 AM eastern on Saturday. Did my 2nd deposit around 11:00 AM Sunday. $100 bonus each deposit, $200 total. In seperate 24 hour periods, and 34 hours apart.

I did $300 once on a paradise bonus that was over three days, I wish this one was /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

They must be in seperate 24 hour periods, and 24 hours apart.

[HesseJam]

Double crap, I just got the hang of clearing my 650 bucks and missed another easy 100.

[Baulucky]

When is the freeroll for those that picked Steelers-4?

[kcheel]

Wondering that myself. Supposed to be sometime on Saturday but haven't heard a time yet.

[Schwartzy61]

It's on Saturday but they haven't announced/posted it on their site as of this morning...

[ckmo]

uh am I missing something here...wtf is the password, it won't let me register

[Gregatron]

Go to tournaments, hit the special tab, and find the steelers tourney.

[ckmo]

i emailed support and they manually added me...it looks like they did for about 4 others too.

[MicroBob]

if you had Steelers-4 for the reload you should be registered already.

Did you do the bonus?


You might be better off getting shut out of this tourney anyway since it will be so time-consuming.
If you really did have Steelers-4 and it doesn't register you for the tourney then you get to complain to support and perhaps get some other form of compensation (which could very likely be better than the value of the tourney)

Good point.

OMG Paradise.

[Alchemist]

It automatically registered it for me.

Although we've theoretically been running 6 minutes and no one's been dealt a hand yet. All the tables have 3 or 4 people seated. I think their software puked.

[Gregatron]

Yeah it is a waste of time, but I'm doind it anyway -- or trying to. It seems that it has not started yet, and I suspect it has something to do with the software. So I'm just sitting at a 10 seat table with 3 other people there. Waiting. Like an a**hole.

[MicroBob]

of course, some of you guys who are waiting could just ignore the situation and play a couple other tables.

I heard that some 2+2'ers actually like to play more than 1 table at a time.

[Alchemist]

They're filling up our table ever so slowly. We're up to 9 now. Good thing is we get a break in less than 30 mins!

[Alchemist]

heh it started. Blinds 25/50 lol....

[celiboy]

Anyone still in this?

I'm in about 300th out of 390 remaining. Top 10 get paid

[m bozeman]

I'm still in. I'm in 75th right now with 20k.
