PartyPoker $500 sign up bonus?

Real world example. Say you play 3/6 6 max. At Absolute, the 12500 hands would be worth $1250 plus a RB deal should about double that. Hmmm, $400 or $2500?

Party may be worthwhile if you're playing at such a low level, no one else can match. With the new structure at Absolute, 3/6 is pretty much the game you have to play. IIRC, you can play some pretty low limit games at Party and still collect the bonus. But Boss Media is an even better deal. Bet365 and PokerPlex are better deals. The rare Stars reload is a better deal and the lower Stars rake may be a better deal than a Party 30x. Guess it all depends on the limits you play, but 30x has got to be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

This bonus isn't any good for bonus whores but it is really good for people that only play low limits and have no intention of whoring. As a 25NL 6max player at Party I know I would clear this bonus in about a 1.5-2months and an extra $400 on top of a reglar bonus + what I make already would be sexy.

I think you missed my point - that if someone is going to sign up at Party anyway for the usual 20% up to $100 - the extra $400 is a bonus you wouldn't get. I don't think this is to replace rakeback or anything. It's an initial signup bonus, and as such, it is better than anything out there since it gives plenty of time to reach it. I saw one that only gave 15 days!

If you have cleared the first 20%, you can cash out any portion of your funds and it will not affect the remaining 80% of the bonus. You can even cash out 100% of your bankroll and re-deposit later.

You just have to meet the 12,500 hand requirement within the 90 days of your first deposit.

I couldn't remove any money. I got the $500 after playing 12,500 raked hands.

But after reading the rest of the posts I guess I could have--pardon.
