Bayou bonus question

[jaustin]

BW says that Bayou offers a 12x, 100% deposit bonus, with an unlimited buy-in (for Neteller).

1. Is there really no bonus limit for Neteller accounts?

2. Does the $2.50/hr. 1-2 limit rate sound about right?

I'm trying to figure out my next bonus, and it seems that if I buy in for $1000 on Bayou and 4-table the 1-2 limit games, I'll be able to clear $1000 in bonus in 100 hours. Does that sound about right?

Yes to both questions. There are a couple things to note though. Bayou has a 1xWR on your deposit before you can withdraw anything. So If you deposit $1k you will have to place $1k in bets or blinds before withdrawing. They may or may not waive this WR. This may be a factor if you don't want to tie up that much of your bankroll. The other thing is the rake on Pokerroom and it's skins are among the worst on the internet. The 12x bonus amounts to about 58% rakeback though.

my BR is currently right around $925, and I'd be depositing all of it at Bayou (so as to get the most out of the bonus). How long would it take me to clear the 1xWR (what does that stand for, btw?)? Would I have to stay on the site for much longer than the 90 days that I have to clear the bonus, or would I probably clear the 1xwr by the time I'm done clearing the bonus? Obviously this somewhat depends on how loose, tight, etc. I am, but does anyone have a general idea?

Can anyone clarify the 1xWR situation for me?

basically it means you have to put a total of $925 in bets into the pot. depends a lot on your playing style how long that will take. I would guess that one would typically put in about 1SB/hand, but I'm just pulling that out of my ass.

it means you have to wager the amount that you have deposited before you can withdraw (i.e. if you deposited 1000 dollars you would have to "bet" 1000 dollars before you could withdraw - or 500 big bets at 1/2
