Anyone try the BetFred bonus? How tough is it?

It appears to be a regular 10x, any rake counts, 100% to $250 intial deposit bonus. I can't find anywhere on there that specifically states that the pot only has to be raked (pots get raked at $1 for NL) and that there isn't a minimum rake (such as that it has to be raked at least $0.25) just like Party where any raked hand counts.

Anyone do this bonus? Is my assumption on what counts as a raked hand correct? What network is this site on? How are the games there?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Bedfred is on the I-poker network. The same network as Cd Poker and Noble. I am doing this bonus rigth now and its a great bonus. CS is really good. Not a lot of players but if you play 6-max this is a must do bonus.

It is pretty good I did it. Support is top notch and the players are loose. I believe I finished around 800 dollars up plus the bonus playing NL.

Hi, I signed up and deposited and a much easier bonus than noble or titan other ipoker sites. BUT I JUST TALKED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE BONUS IS CHANGING. THEY ARE GOING TO A POINT SYSTEM SO SIGN UP ASAP BECAUSE IF YOU DEPOSIT BEFORE THE CHANGE THE PRIOR RULES ARE GRANDFATHERED. I GUARANTEE THE POINTS SYSTEM WILL MAKE IT MUCH HARDER AT LOWER LIMITS. good luck I love this bonus.

Anyone know how long you have to clear it once you sign up? I'm working on a Poker Rewards sign up bonus but would like to get registered for this one before it switches to the point system.

Also, are there any Stud games running on I-poker?

Is there a way to check # raked hands?

Does this bonus ever expire? I can't find any mention of that on their website.

I read on bonuswhores forum there is no time frame to clear the bonus.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

So is it true that any raked hand counts toward the bonus?

Sounds like it is pretty soft. That good news!

When bonus whoring you MUST read the terms and conditions.

From BetFred's website:

"Please note: Only raked hands played at blinds of $0.25/$0.50 and above for pot limit / no limit, or stakes of $0.50/$1 or above for fixed limit will count towards your wagering requirements. A raked hand is where you are dealt cards in a real money cash game and the pot reaches a sufficient amount to be raked (see our rake structure here). You do not necessarily have to put any money in the pot for the hand to contribute towards your raked hand count. Tournament hands are not raked so only cash game play counts towards wagering requirements."
