Absolute changes bonus terms - Page 12

My thought is that roughly the bonus you earn in full ring is completely negated by the additional rake they charge compared to other sites.

Therefore you are playing for Rakeback (if applicable) and ARP points as your incentive. For the software and tougher players, NO THANK YOU.

Right now just one full ring game going for hold'em ($1/$2).

Other sites have a healthy selection right now. Shame shame

If you use your ARP points for Absolute merchandise do they subtract that from your rakeback like FT does?

It is now a contributed bonus. It looks like it is retroactive to stacked bonuses as well which is not a proper way to do business. You can't change terms mid way through clearing a bonus.

Cya AP!

Abs has really been that way for a while now, but likely more so going forward...
