50% on winnings

[gauge666]

I still think that this CodePoker bonus is the best for me...
I've just receive 620$ !
I'd like to find an other site with this bonus, to try to double it. If someone knows one...
Thanks

[Davey]

Ive read about this before but never really paid attention to it. Aynone have more info on this site. How many players, peak hours, any restrictions or requirements regarding the bonus. I looked on bonuswhores but didnt see it listed. Is it part of any other networks. Im gonna to serach the forums now but I figured Id ask some questions anyways.


EDIT: Found pretty much everything I was wondering about in threads from this forum. seach +codepoker if you want to look em up.

[May]

it's a prima site so 10 K players anytime.

Gauge what limit do you play to be constantly winning?

[Dany]

You can find everything you want on thoses 2 links :

http://www.codepoker.com/AN/GOLDREVOang.html
http://www.codepoker.com/AN/T%26C.html

I've been clearing this $1000 bonus for a few months. Everything is fine with payments and I found the right tables with the right people to make it easier. I even got a rakeback as I managed to become a "very good client" according to their policy.

You may not like the prima network, but if you play on this network, you have no choice but to play on codepoker as it is the only poker room to reward winnings. If you can get a rakeback on top of it, you end up in a situation where it is impossible to loose money as you can hedge your bad months with you rakeback and you get an extra $1000 on your good months.

In fact, I think those guys will get most of the prima network players.

They must have a HUGE HUGE problem with chip dumping!!!! /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Actually, this is what they wrote me but I don't think they mention rakebacks on their website. However, they have minimum rake requirements (at least for me)

[OrianasDaad]

Anybody else curious about the logic of this promo?



I mean, aren't winning players BAD for poker rooms?



Anyway, this looks like a decent deal. If you are a 2BB/100 winner at Prima, then this will make you effectively a 3BB/100 winner. Are the qualifying raked hands you have to play (1500-4500 a month) contributed or not?

As far as chip dumping, it looks like they will be watching wins made at HU and 3-handed tables rather closely.

[May]

the hands do not need to be contributed to count.

[MicroBob]

Right, that's how I look at it.
If you win 2BB/100 then the bonus is worth 1BB/100.


however, if you go on a nice stretch where you win 10BB/100 then the bonus is suddenly worth 5BB/100 which i think is an interesting aspect.


Also interesting is if you were to go on a decent rush and win $2k fairly quickly before getting to 4500 hands then you are given incentive to turn-down situations that might normally be +EV if it means higher variance.
You are just trying to finish off the number of hands to lock in your win.

If your wins fall below $2k then you are losing more and more in the bonus as you go along.
But if your wins go above $2k then you aren't winning anything extra in bonus.


The strategy could get quite interesting.


Additionally, if you ever hit +$2k after 4500 hands then I'm pretty sure it would be incorrect to continue playing at all unless the games are so insanely fishy that you just can't resist.
Even then you could just play on a different prima account with RB where you aren't risking your full $1k bonus.


The structure of this 50%-winnings bonus leads to some potentially interesting situations.

[Dany]

Yes, if you hit +2k after 4500 hands, you should stop playing even with insanely fishy games, which are quite usual on the prima network.

[grouchie]

Bob.

Pretty much, my plan on the prima network has been Code poker for the bonus.
After 4500 hands, if I hit it, there is no reason to continue playing there.

Switch to Battlefield where I receive a large % of rakeback.

[MicroBob]

I wonder about other amounts though (just because I'm curious).


What if I've played 4500 hands and I'm up $1995?
If win another hand then I get another $2.50 in bonus for a $5+ pot and I'm all set for that month.

But if I lose then I'm risking giving back more in the bonus then I can make if I win the next hand.


Also, I'm pretty sure they didn't intend for this design to actually discourage people from continuing to play...but, as with many bonuses, this is pretty much what they are doing.

[May]

what do you mean by other amounts?

I think your point is correct, and when you are up more than 1K with 4500 rh it's too risky to keep on playing on this side.

[NSchandler]

[ QUOTE ]
Right, that's how I look at it.
If you win 2BB/100 then the bonus is worth 1BB/100.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually it's worth more than that since you don't have to pay if you lose.

And the higher the variance, the more the bonus is worth

[OrianasDaad]

Edit: Naturally, if you max out the bonus, then anything else is obviously cover play.

If you are running MUCH, MUCH better than your "normal" winrate, then you might consider playing elsewhere.

Otherwise, you should consider whether your winrate at another site will be higher than 1.5x times your winrate at this site (including bonuses, of course). This should really be the only consideration in whether or not to stop playing.

The idea of stopping playing somewhere after winning big and getting a nice bonus, in fear of that bonus decreasing, looks like a stop-win to me.

Moving to a different site because you'll make more in BB/100 with a bonus in addition to your play makes sense, however.

[Dany]

Let me tell you what good players should do with such an offer. Open as many accounts as you can with different IP addresses and with different personal data (your wife, relatives, etc..) Then you will be able to clear $1000 per month on each account, which is starting to be quite interesting over a longer period.

This is terrible advice, and really not even in good humor or taste.

[Dany]

Why ? Nothing wrong it ? As long as your wife or anyone else know that you are playing on his account and consent to it. Poker rooms don't care, different people, different accounts, different IP addresses. So where is the big deal ? Do you think that whoring all sites around world is something more respectable ?

It's not a stop win.

If you are right on $2000 profit for the month then you lost $15 for every $10 you put into the pot when you don't win the hand...but you win nothing extra when you win the hand.


If you want to continue playing on prima that month then you should go to a different skin where you are getting 35-40% rakeback.
Not doing so would be -EV and kinda dumb.

[Dany]

If you look at their T&C, it says :

The profit, if any, is determined by substracting the account balance at the end of the previous month and any deposit as well as any other bonus (i.e. deposit bonus and Refer-a-Friend bonus) credited to the account from the account balance at the end of the current month at 12 am GMT

As they use the account balance, withdrawals should affect your profit. However, I already did some withdrawals and it didnt' affect my P&L. They just asked me once not to do too many withdrawals per month. Therefore, as far as I'm concerned, a few withdrawals per month is alllowed as long as you don't abuse it as I guess they have to pay processing fees for withdrawals and redeposits...

[/ QUOTE ]

Like I said. If you clear the maximum bonus, then you stand to make a better winrate at a different site.

If you get the qualifying hands in, but don't have the maximum bonus, you should look at whether or not you will make more at a different site in terms of BB/100, factoring in the bonus. A player who wins 3BB/100, but doesn't get the full bonus, will be making 4.5BB/100 until he maxes the bonus out. Whether or not other bonuses are better isn't the issue, it's the notion that one shouldn't look to see.

It strikes me that if a bonus at another site is going to be worth more than a 50% winrate bonus, then one should play that site INSTEAD of this site in the first place.

Most whores who do this bonus will probably do so for the full amount, if possible. It's a nice, safe way to build a bankroll for micro players, however, as long as they stay within their bankroll.

Again. If someone clears the full bonus, then there are obviously good reasons to go somehwere else, and no reason to stay at this site.

[May]

No it does not affect you winnings. I already tried.

[May]

what happens if one month you do not reach $500?

[May]

Is there a definition for chip dumping? I am not sure what it means?

hmm ill register asap here ;D

[POKhER]

Im so baffled!

So basically, go to the site and sign up. Play 4500 hands and at the end of the month you get the gold bonus which is what? $??

They mention profit, the profit we make? I.e. they give us our winnings + 50% of what we won back?

Sorry can someone confirm this, i saw a heap load of crazy thoughts and stuff in this thead which just baffled me.


Edit ah i get it, basically once youve played 4500 raked hands your a gold member capable of getting 50% of your winnings from the site itselfs. So say you bad and make $20 that month, you get $10. if you run hot and make $2000 you get the maximum which is $1000

That sounds good but for 2/4 players 4500/100 hands = 45 lots of 100 hands.

winrate of 2BB at 2/4 = $8 so $8 *45 = $360. You'd get $180 or so back from the site that month.

Hmm not to bad i guess, if you lag it up and run hot tho... it could be sexy.

[PennDisc]

Yep, 50% of your profit from playing. If you lose for the month, you get nothing extra (unless you have rakeback).

Yes, that's it. You sign up, play 4500 rh during the current month, and you get a 50% bonus on your winnings (max $1000 bonus) at the end of the month. As the bonus is capped at $1000, there is no need to play more when you reach +$2000. Then you just wait for the next month to clear another $1000 bonus...easy, isn't it ?

[PennDisc]

I believe you can. Check out the affiliate section or RRR for full info.

[WiSeIVIaN]

35% rakeback if u show no profit, 50% up your winnings and 10% rb if you profit i beleive through rakerebatereview :-)

[POKhER]

....man thats sexy!

Only issue i have, its prima right? and prima players piss me off like hell!

Tricky laggy gays.

Although i do get to datamine...

it is prima right /images/graemlins/frown.gif? Going to be tight now too...

[adminmax]

Im 18 and the site wont let me sign up.

Anyone knows a way to play there anyway? (i live in canada so 18 is legal here to gamble...)

[MicroBob]

I signed-up with that affiliate (the 35% RB OR 50+10...whichever total is higher)
and it certainly looks like a much better deal to me!!


Also - you do NOT need to play 4500 raked-hands to get 50%.
4500 is if you are to max-out the bonus at $1000.


These are the maxes for each level:
level 1 - 1500 raked-hands = max bonus $300
level 2 - 2500 raked-hands = max bonus $600
level 3 - 4500 raked-hands = max bonus $1000


You are ALWAYS getting 50% if you make it past the first mark (1500 raked-hands).

But if you win $1000 in your 1500 hands that month then you will still only be getting back $300 (the maximum allowed for that level)...not the full $500 for 50%.

If I win $5000 in just 2500 raked-hands I can only get back $600.


Got it?? I thought so.

[Dany]

I like the "whichever total is higher" !

[Fraubump]

So 35% RB if you lose, 10% if you win. This will also lead to situations where if you've played 4500 and are up only slightly it will make sense to take a dive.

[otter]

there isn't much happening at the limit 6 max games either.

If you think your monthly rakeback will be let's say $300, it means you can risk those $300 to try to get the $1000 bonus.

[MicroBob]

This isn't 'taking a dive' though (and I disagree with this advice anyway).


It's not just 35% if you lose...and 50+10 if you win.

It's whichever is higher.

If you have profited $100 but your MGR is $1000 then you will get $350 for 35% rake-back (because that is higher than the 50+10 that you would receive which would be).

You don't have to be a net-loser to get the 35% rakeback...it just has to be more than the 50% winning + 10% rakeback.
Obviously if you ARE a net-loser than the 35% RB is guaranteed to be the higher total....and it's nice to have that as a back-up.

Actually it's a matter of where you stand after 4500 rh. If your P&L is -ve, flat or slightly +ve, I personally would use the forecasted 35% rakeback to try to get the $1000 bonus because I'm looking for this kind of amount on a monthly basis. If your winnings are quite important, but not enough to get the full bonus, it really depends on how close you are. For instance, I am willing to take the risk (and use any extra money) for a bonus below $500 but everyone has his own risk profile.

Actually, we have done the exact opposite of bonuses for winners .... We have run promos which reimbursed LOSING players in our micro limits games ....

It is true that this bonus is more suitable for 5/10 NL, but I think it is still interesting for 2/4 NL. As long as you play NL, you have chance to clear the bonus in a few hands.

Aside from the fact that we are not related in any way to any promo in this thread, why would you say that ?

Actually, we have done the exact opposite of bonuses for winners .... We have run promos which reimbursed LOSING players in our micro limits games .... We figured that good players would understand a site which mitigated bad play by giving losing players some money to put into circulation a second time. The promos worked when we ran them. We will likely repeat our "Loss Insurance" promo.

I think your "Loss Insurance" promo is about to become totally unattractive with all those poker rooms offering rakebacks. That is already a better way to reimburse losing players.

But it depends how big the insurance was.

When you play poker, the goal is to win on the long term. If you always lose, you'd better quit. Therefore, I think that a bonus rerwarding winners is more sustainable than a loss insurance.

1. Is there a way of tracking how many raked hands you've completed during the month?

2. How many tables can you play at once?

3. Is the 5/10NL there tough?

[/ QUOTE ]

You can view how many raked hands in the Code Lobby.
You can play 5 tables for sure and I heard they have upgraded for 8, but I haven't tried it.
All the 5/10 nl is sh.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think that playing on 8 tables will definitely hurt your poker skills and judgement. You gotta be a robot to play on 8 tables.

I agree... I would love to have on my table people playing on 7 others...

[MicroBob]

you guys need to get out more.

there are lots of players on 2+2 who play 6-8 tables.

Indeed, some of them are not poker-gods...others you definitely would prefer not be on your table.

A poker-god playing on 6-8 tables could be the head of all poker-gods if he plays on 2-3 tables...

[MicroBob]

not really.

with HUD's and so forth you can most of the reads you need fairly quickly anyway.


They are sacrificing SOME win-rate by playing so many tables.
But the pay-off for playing so many tables MORE than makes up for it.



But it is dangerous.
I was playing too many tables trying to get points and reach VIP goals and whatnot a few months ago and I was getting clobbered from just plain old awful play.

So for 8-tabling one's mileage may definitely vary.

[Dany]

on which network can you play 8 tables?

[MicroBob]

partypoker - 10 tables max
pokerstars - 8 tables max

crypto I think might be 4 or 5 tables max per skin...but you could play multiple skins (assuming you could find enough tables).



And, of course, you don't HAVE to play all your tables at the same site.
When I'm 4 or 5-tabling it will usually be on 2 or 3 different sites.

Although doing that does throw some people off but it doesn't bother me (and sometimes I think it helps with my concentration on each table)

playing 8 tables would anyway be difficult on prima since the action time is twice faster than any other rooms

This all seems like a pretty sweet deal.... where did you all sign up?

[gauge666]

at codepoker.com
If you're a good player, that's a good deal for sure!

the RB that you get in addition to the bonus is definately worth it for those times when you don't happen to be winning like you should.
I believe there are two affiliates that offer the same deal, but that is the one I went through

[May]

even more for volatile players like me

[gauge666]

what do I have to do to be on megarakeback? Is it working with cosepoker?
