Absolute further squeezing its player base
For the past 2 weeks, Absolute hasn't offered any reload bonuses. I Just got another email they send to their VIP members and again there's no mention of bonus. Everything is going to crap there it seems.

Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
I got a phone call with a promo offer from Absolute today.
I guess this is a great offer: - With your next deposit of $1,000 or more you will receive: - 5% unrestricted cash (capped at $50) or $10 cash which ever is greater! - 30% added to your pending bonus account! (capped at $300) - One entry to our EXCLUSIVE VIP Invitational $5,000 tourney either on the 1st or the 3rd Friday of the month! - One free seat to our $150k Guaranteed Tournament! |
Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
Hmmm. Maybe I should have answered that "unknown" number.

Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
Yes.If I don't have reload bonus in Absolute I don't play

Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
The 100% to $500 code is still working, I forget what it is but it's on BW's site.
|
Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
RDB1....how many times can you use it?
Doesn't work for neteller though. |
Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
RDB1
Is this the code for 100% up to 500? I don't see it on BW. |

Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
I'm also out of bonus on absolute for once -- I emailed vip and they said they are not offering a reload right now! I really don't want to play on the site without bonus, but it's my main site and wehre almost all my cash is. I ahve arleady used the post neteller 100% bonus -- anyone have any other ideas? ARe they going to stop giving bonuses so frequently?

Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
For the people who got the phone call what level of VIP are you? I am currently plat. but going to make elite in the next week or two. I personally did not get a call recently and was hoping to get some type of a damn bonus!

This offer is valid only for player xxxxx. P:S.: I'm not a VIP player....haven't played at AP for 6 month. |
Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
I've been VIP Elite practically since the VIP program started. I get emails constantly offering me freerolls, deposit bonuses, etc. I actually started receiving MORE of these emails after they announced all the bogus changes they were making. My inbox is filled with emails like these:
"Free money at Absolute!" "300 more reasons to play at Absolute Poker!" "Your money is safe at Absolute Poker!" Most of the emails are filled with boasts about how awesome Absolute Poker is, how great they treat their volume players, how wonderful it is to be a VIP elite, etc. The one email I haven't gotten is the one saying they've changed their new [censored] rakeback and bonus structure back to the way it used to be. I haven't played a hand there in a month and I won't be playing any hands there this month, either. Absolute has NOTHING to offer without the fat rakeback and bonuses. If you're still playing there at the $3/$6 and $5/$10 levels, you should really reexamine your options. SpaceAce |

Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
Absolute seems to be doing quite well.
cheers Boon |
Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
I thought I would post a response I got from from absolute VIP, it looks like no reloads this week, and they re re-assesing how often then are going to provide them, not good news. I need to look elsewhere, but I am within 1k points of making elite, and the tourny buyins alone are worth it:
" Subject: RE: Reload Bonus [#5695059] Hello XXX, I am sorry but we are not offering any reload bonuses this week and the future of its frequency is something that we are evaluating.

Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
Does Pfunk work there too?

Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
Got a free 30$ there aswell, ran it up to 55 at BJ and cashed out.

Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
I've never received a phone call from Absolute, but I got this in an e-mail a couple hours ago:
"Saturday's VIP Reload Bonus - Exclusive to VIP members, this Saturday ONLY! Fill your account and get a 25% Reload Bonus up to $150 on your first deposit. Use Bonus Code: MARCH10VIP." |
Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
Got an email for 20% to $100. This former VIP is not returning unless they become the next Party Poker.
|
Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
Im gone as well, Im playing their elite vip tourneys but Im taking my 4k+ mgr pr. month to full tilt
|
Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
I got the 25% VIP reload for Sat- I'm elite, fwiw.
I'd be interested in knowing if the 100% up to $500 can be used more than once (already used it once). Also, I'll quit online poker before I leave Absolute- I hate/cannot win @ Stars and Tilt- rigged! |
Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
I never got my crap I ordered from the store.

Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
You could always do this. They just didn't advertise it. If you're an MTT player, I'd recommend the 2400 ARP sats to the 150k. Those are easily the best value and are extremely soft.

Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
I got the phone call and haven't played there for a year.
|
Re: Absolute further squeezing its player base
I got the call and the bonus offer a month or two ago. My last name starts with "C", I'm wondering if they are working their way down an alphabetical list? I have about 1700 points (300 more for vip I think). It looked like the site was dead back then so I didnt bother depositing.
