Paradise free plane ticket - Page 2

Well, this ended up just being a scam. Why am I not surprised.

We have to pay all taxes, fees, etc. etc. They said a "free" ticket. Free my ass.

I can't go anywhere for seven days. I would have loved to use this ticket for a weekend (that's why I did the stupid bonus).

Not only that but I see they put people in special freerolls, obviously based on loyalty. So while some people are in one with 183 people, I'm in one with 1222.

Yeah I'll be pulling my money off that site. Sneaky jerks.

So you get a ticket to anywhere in the US or Canada with no hand or rake requirements whatsoever and you're complaining that you have to pay the tax? Lighten up. It might not be as amazing as you would like but it is still a great promo.

Pardon me but I had to play 1000 raked hands to get this (playing less tables at a different game than I'd normally play on my other site because Paradise doesn't run enough high stakes games and you can only 4 table)

No, all you had to do was deposit.

You didn't have to play a single hand for this offer. All you needed was to deposit with their bonus code. The hands you played were to release your cash bonus.

Fair enough. I didn't know that.

Either way, it's not free (as they advertised) and they certainly *never* said anything about having to stay 7 days. Why do I have to stay 7 days?

I can't stay 7 days so I can't participate and that pisses me off; and I believe I have a right to be pissed off.

I have a feeling I won't be the only one.

You know you don't have to go right? You seem like an unhappy person. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

You know you don't have to post your 2 cents everytime I post, right?

I'm unhappy that this stupid promotion wasted my time.

I pretty much assumed we'd have to pay the tax. That's no surprise.

So, what stakes of poker would I have to play in Vegas to get my room and food comped?

Is that requirement in the T&C? I didn't notice it. Not being able to go somewhere for a weekend sucks though. I don't have anymore vacation time to use.

Click the link in the e-mail, it says it next to "Duration of stay".

its basically a 50% off ticket or less, not a bad deal if u where planning a trip anyways, otherwise it is totally useless.
i bought in just fro the 100$ and a freeroll, and knew thaqt the chances the plane ticket would be of use was next to zero.

take the 100$ and run little fishies.
