Whatever it is I really hope they wait a week.. or two.. or three.. and when it gets here the targets should be small and/or flexible.

8 weeks of this crazy volume of play has just about killed me.

[grouchie]

Yeah, i'm with tagtastic.

This promotion has drained me quite abit that I would like to play 2 tables for a few hours for the nice calm pace.

During this promo i played more tables than I ever have before, I played more hours and more hands thatn ever before as well.

I was getting between 20 and 25k hands per month, then March I did over 40k hands.

I like the extra $$$ coming in, but I don't think I can do anything like that agian for awhile.

For reference, my target required 21,000 hands PER WEEK to hit (not double, but hit the minimum). I'm [censored] sick of poker for a bit, especially since I ended this thing on a downswing.

[Bellagibro]

Nope I bet they send one out right away. They want to keep us heavy volume players playing.

[Slim Pickens]

Bah. If they send me an offer as pointlessly large as the last one, I'll play even less, run really hot, and cash out more just to spite them.

[DING-DONG YO]

I agree with slim. If your target is too high, it is much more +EV to just say F it and play your best game instead of whoring the bonus.

[eleventy]

I can't wait to see all the beotching when they roll out the next one. All the players that had to play more table/more hours for this bonus. I figure when Party sets the next bonus goals they will look at how much they played and then add on another 25% or something. My goal was reachable so I made sure not to go much over each week so they don't jack my next goal way up.

[/ QUOTE ]

Same here. Made the minimum 5/8. A tad over 2/8. Almost doubled 1/8. Was concerned with what the next bonus would be like.

Hopefully nothing outrageous for next time. Maybe something like a nice 3-day bonus period or something. 8 weeks was crazy.

[squeek12]

has anyone else not gotten the last week's and running total bonuses yet? i can't remember for sure, but it seems like in previous weeks the money was in my account by this time of day.

you're right, i'm an idiot, thanks.

[Petomane]

Acceler-8-tor was the most draining 8 weeks of poker I ever had. It took a lot just to reach my minimum. I think I played the worst poker ever.

Never again. I learnt an important lesson - it just wasn't worth it. I'd have made more money if I just stuck to my own pace and not played poker when I was tired.

Now I'm taking a couple of days off and then it's back to quality poker, not quantity. That'll teach me to buy into a poker site's greed.

[Payoff]

Absolutely agree Peto. This promo cost me a lot more than I earned from it.

[highland]

I believe I remember seeing that there was to be a bonus payment at the end of this promotion. Anybody know what it was?

cheers,

[Push_Fold]

$1,000,000 to anyone that completed it. /images/graemlins/blush.gif /images/graemlins/blush.gif /images/graemlins/blush.gif

It depends on your offer and number of weeks you completed the offer. Go to the My Account section of the website, then Events and Promotions.

and I was told the end bonus would be paid on the 13th.

I for one hit all 8 weeks and it helped me with my motivational problems /images/graemlins/confused.gif, so I hope for another one just like it.

[Davey]

The final bonus for all weeks will be paid on Thursday, April 13, 2006 after 11:00 a.m. (ET).

i assume the last week is included in this?

[Davey]

I dont think so. Should be paid just like all the other weeks.

[Barrin6]

How many hands typically do you guys have to play each month if you are doing VIP PROMOS? Also what limits?

[yskhyr]

How much was the final bonus (for reaching all goals) ?

Four times your weekly bonus, if you hit it all eight times.

Guy.

[Gildwulf]

A long nap.

[Nick-Zack]

My bonus payment isn't in my account. I hope its just a delay because of the upgrade.

[Tuomash]

I haven't got it either.

[foxfox1]

I haven't gotten the 8th week bonus nor have I gotten the running 8-weeks-in-a-row bonus

I got mine as well, went and checked my point balance and noticed that they did not deduct the points from me this time though.

Found that interesting

[Yeti]

I got the 8th week bonus. My points were deducted. I did not yet receive my points from yest. I did not yet receive my bonus for hitting it every week.

Is there anyone besides me who HAS NOT received their 8th week bonus yet? I'm pretty sure I played the needed amount of points.

[Peoplez]

Okay it seems that I missed it by 38 points. Thank you party poker for crashing on the other day.
