Remember that Survey on Pacific Poker?

I was one of the first 300 people to complete the survey, so I though I earned $100. But, Pacific won't let me cash-out.

The survey e-mail was pretty misleading as it gives the impression that you are getting paid $100 to take the survey.

Instead, Pacific is treating the $100 as a regular bonus and I need to wager 20 times the bonus amount to clear it.

I really hate these guys.

I got it on casino-on-net, and I'm pretty sure their bonus policy is wagering 2xbonus for all bonuses outside the norm. So I wagered $200+ at jacks or better and then cashed out.

I withdrew all my money from Pacific when what had long been tolerated by me as "quirks" in their software became high comedy.

One night I, and nine other bemused souls, tried to play a 10-handed ring game.

Every hand three of us were disconnected. Then we three would return, only to watch three other people get disconnected.

It was like we were playing a whole different game where the object was to post an ante if you were connected and you were betting your fellow table-dwellers that you could stay connected for the entire hand. If you're that lucky you win!

Trouble was, you were only getting about evens on your money when you stayed connected, and you were a 50:1 dog of achieving that.

They are appalling.

However, I'm still not sure it isn't all worth it for the highly intensive salmon farming they spread before you.
