Bad Beaten by Interpoker Montly Bonus

[pegboy]

I blew through this bonus at 1/2 limit. Took but 4 sessions through 4 days. Made a few bucks, cleared and withdrew. Straightforward whoring at its best. Ya baby!

Takes about 40 minutes clearing it on the casino side.

I know the bonus is easy playing Limit 1/2... not my point at all. My point is that mislead me by stating erronous raked hand counts while I kept wasting my time playing NL100 AND paid WAY MORE rake than I should have.

No your mad becuase you lost money while playing.

Had you won say $650 during the time you would've shrugged off the misinterpreted bonus information and not cared about the 'extra' rake you paid.

Well, I didn't know they had made that change. Reading their site, here's their September change :
From 1st September 2006, all hands played on 1 / 2 Unit ($/£/€) tables and above, where ANY rake is taken will count as a raked hand.

I misinterpreted this statement, thinking that from September 1st, all hands played on 1/2 unit and abovem where ANY rake is taken will count as a raked hand BUT that lower stakes would still get 1/4 and 1/2 of a raked hand WHEN the pot is high enough (as it used to be in the previous months).

You were half right. MPPs are still counted the same way they used to be at all tables. MPPs can still be used to qualify you for freerolls, etc.

What they changed was de-coupling the bonus from MPPs. The bonus is now awarded to players who play 500 "raked hands" at the right tables.

Original poster:

you could try send a mail to the Interpoker manager explaining that you didnt understand you werent fullfilling the bonus requirements on the tables you played at, while being told by customer support you were in fact clearing some of it.

I think his email address is RyanH@interpoker.com or RyanH@intercasino.com

I've had some bonuses credited to my account after 'misunderstandings' by him.

Good luck

No, InterPoker only allows you to get one or the other, but yes, you can have an account at both.

No they didnt. It's clearly in the T\C. Even if you dont read them, it's clearly printed in emails and in several places on their website.

My guess is you went busto and now want something to complain about.

EDIT : It used to be 500 raked hands to get the bonus... doesn't matter what limit you play, 500 raked hands is 500$ of rake taken from the pot, low stakes or not.

No, because there's ~10 people at the table, so only $0.10 of each $1 is attributed to you. Also, plenty of hands are raked less than $1. So 500 "raked hands" is generally <<< $500 in rake.
