Does anyone know if this company is the same as Cake Poker? They appear to have the same graphics.

Cake Poker provides the software. They are two separate companies.

Everyone who had accounts with Paradise could already back in the day log into Sportsbook.com either directly through Paradise or through sportsbook's website with your Paradise info. Nothing new here. Also these cash codes will work 1 time, but they don't have to be on the account the email issued them to. I had a Paradise account and a Sportsbook account and still got the email and loaded the cash onto my Sportsbook account, not the Paradise info like it suggested.

I'm interested. How long did it take for you to get that 20 up to 1000?

They seem to be unique codes, so if you didn't get one you are probably not going to be able to get the bonus.

I got $20 and ran it up to $50. Then I see that you have to make a deposit to cash it out so just bet it all. Now my balance is the same as it was yesterday.

It looks like they emailed codes to former paradise poker players, so if you played at paradise, check the email account that you used at paradise.

I got the CD but have not opened it yet. Used to be on Paradise.

I think I may have accidentally perma-deleted an email from them?

Is there a way to get this deal or use this site with RB? Would that be better than signing up with the CD and code?

thanks

I got the CD, too, and the code was in the letter that came with it. Got $20.

I don't want to take the time to sign up for this if it isn't worthwhile (read: if I'm not going to be able to cash the money out), and as far as I can tell, I have to create an account with them BEFORE there's any way for me to look at the actual terms. Could someone please tell me what kind of wager requirements this bonus has for cashout?

I can't even get the free money because I'm getting bad gateway errors from the claim page's javascript.

WTF?

How long did this take to credit the money? I just entered my code from the letter and now have the princely sum of $0 in my account.

Try checking your junk email folder.

It appears they are sending a cd a couple of days after they send the email. Same bonus code in email and with cd.

I got the email. Got instant credit when I logged in using my paradise user name and password. Got $20.

Played some poker and won a few bucks $16. In cashier it says the $16 is available to cash out.

I decided to make a $50 deposit using my debit card. IT WENT RIGHT THROUGH!! No problems. The same debit card that I got a decline on STARS due to "gambling related" website.

I played a little in their sportsbook when they were affiliated with Paradise. No problems. Lines and juice not as competitive as Pinnacle, but US players can no longer play at Pinnacle.

I spoke to their CS dept regarding a Super Bowl wager of some size and they said they would send a check if I chose to withdraw. Only strange thing was that withdrawals had to be handled on line.

All in all the most positive experience I have had in a while.
