Absolute changes bonus...again!

[1968]

So its 1 point per raked hand ($.50)?.. that equates to like 2000 hands to clear the $500 initial deposit bonus as that right?

[Genesis]

One point per $.50 raked hand where you must see the flop. Way more than 2000 hands. At 75 points/$10, it was in the neighborhood of 500-700 total hands per $10 at $1/2 6-max. If it is now 20 points/$5, by simple math it will be about 160 total hands/$5, or ~1.5BB/100 bonus at $1/2 6m.

This is bizarre. Last night they fixed the bonus so that it was $5/20 points. Before they fixed it I sent them an email inquiring about this change. Here is their response...

I played a few hands this morning and my points went from 17 to 1 and I cleared $5 in bonus.

I was also sitting at something like 85 pts last night, and when I logged in a second time, I had magically $20 extra bonus dollars and I was down to 5 pts.

The money is still there...
and to see for myself, I just fired it up and played a few hands. Bonus still works @ $5 per 20.

That is their support either not reading or not understanding your email.

How about celebrating this new bonus structure with a reload bonus? Or does that make too much sense?

[lefty rosen]

I give it a mixed review. The old rocks may comeback there and that will make the games really tough to beat without the bonus and rakeback. The games got much softer when they changed the bonus terms. In fact the games were about the same level as when the site first started.

is UB going to do this? Cause they are the worst ever
