willietherock

I 've a br of circa $1000 at PPP playing for a few hours most evenings, stts, $20 level, 2/3 at a time and have cleared the bonus. Where too next? Ive had a look at bonuswhores, but tbh it was v helpful. Anyone recommened decent bonuses available that I could clear at the level I play at?

Cheers

Ive cleared a low level PPP recently and was told that I'll be ineligible till next Summer b4 I can join another signup bonus.

sikes

you get 100 points for every $1 in rake.

You need 125,000 points to clear the $1k bonus.

625 stts at $20. try and get up to the $50 as quick as possible they dont play too much different from what i remember

dvdfan

Am i doing my maths right in saying that 160 $50 would clear the bonus

100,000 / 625 for each $50+$5 = 160 games / 70 days = 2.28 STT's a day

or

100,000 / 250 for each $20+$2 = 400 games / 70 days = 5.7 STT's a day

Is it definetely until February 20th 2007 to clear and not 30 days?

On that note what would you guys do in this situation.

I built a bankroll of $1100 and transferred to GJP to play $50 STT's and signed up for the $500 bonus, unfortunately i hit a bad streak and was forced to return to $20 STT's level this time because my bankroll took a big hit so i aimed to build a $1500 bankroll this time to be extra sure.

I then started multitabling $20 to try and make the $500 bonus and my bankroll took another whack and my bankroll was on the verge of being depleted so i gave up on the bonus and returned to single tabling. Since i did this ive built my bankroll upto $700 now and im kicking a s s again. Im confident my first shot at the $50 level was a combination of terrible variance which led to tilt and i know i can do much better this time.

I have 30,000 action points left to clear at 100 points per $1 rake so i would need to play 60 $50 between now and 31st December to clear it approx 5 per day and very achievable 1 tabling. Then when i get my bonus i could invest $1000 with VC and clear the $1,000 bonus.

The thing is id need to invest $800 to bring my bankroll to the $50 level, is it worth the chance to get these 2 bonuses or would you recommend just grinding away until i make enough for the $50 although at this stage it may be too late to get the VC bonus....What do ye think


OOps i didnt see your reply sikes till after i posted, still 2.5 months is a nice amount of time to clear it

Imposter

you need 125k action points to clear this bonus.

I would race you, but I need to shut down my old VC account. I'm also pretty confident I could clear it in two days once I lodge a decent sum into the account.

sikes

yes its defo until feb 27th. I got it from bonus whores.

125000 to clear the bonus. 500 for each 50$ stt

250 games

according to their site it's 20th of Feb.
What does "100% up to $1,000 max" mean?
If you don't reach the no of action pts b4 the dead line do you get nothing?
Whats the best method to transfer money from my PPP acc to VC poker?

valor

can you get rakeback at VC?

Imposter

This is rb at VC. It's just not called rb (Just like PPP's bonuses).

100% up to 1k means that is you lodge 400 you get a 400 bonus. If you lodge 1k you get a 1k bonus. 125*your lodgement gives you the action points you need to clear.

Yes if you don't reach the AP's then you get nothing. Just lodge less if you ain't sure you can clear the full thing.
PPP -> Neteller -> VC is the easiest way to transfer.

The bonuses on VC are in many ways even better than standard rb, as you are in effect getting 80% of your rake back when you clear the bonus. And seeing as you can do a smaller bonus every month as well (perfect for someone like me who gets about 20000 AP monthly)... brilliant.

if you deposit anything up to $1000 they will match it once you clear the bonus.

yeah they will give you nothing afaik.

neteller is the best method to move money around

phantom_lord

Can you do this bonus if you've signed up for their free tenner offer?

well 2 days would kick my ass anyway. hopefully have it done by the turn of the year. the tribecca software pisses me off no end.

willietherock

Guys, when it comes to transferring money ect is their any disadvantage to just empting me PPP account by taking a cheque and using a credit card to directly enter money in VC poker? (i.e. not using nuteller)

valor

can you get rakeback along with the bonus ? you can with some other sites

It will take you much longer to do this, and that is a disadvantage I think.

or you could withdraw onto your cc and deposit it on VC.....
you may have to lodge a few shillings on PPP on your cc and as long as that is set up as your payment option withdraw away. Its what I do anyway.

You could try signing up with Racing Post poker - its a skin of VC with the same bonus. Use a different email address.

phantom_lord

for my fourth tribecca account...

Why would I do that? It requires 400k action points for 2k when the VC requires 125k points for 1k......

I start 2 weeks Christmas holidays tomorrow so I'll be doing that from tomorrow onwards as I've cashed out most of my Stars BR as a BR for Vegas and I've moved the rest to my new account on Full Tilt.

VC will not pay out to a mastercard cc.

phantom_lord

If I'm starting off at 4 tabling .10/.25 for a few hours a day, and hopfully moving up quick smart, what kinda bonus should I be aiming for?

I was just offering it up in case you had nothing to do after the two days you spend clearing the VC one and couldn't find another large 125pt bonus.

I know the 1k bonus gives you a better rate for your points.
But if you are going to clear it in a few days, you cant do any more until after the bonus closes.
So if you can clear the 400k points in the period you might as well, as a 2k bonus is better than 1k, even if it takes more work

As they are with different cages you can do one and then the other straight after.

ianmc38

I've been doing this for 3 days now. Dont know how many hours, but i've only cleared 42k action points so far, although I've only really been 2 tabling. Great value bonus though....

rrtt

phantom_lord

So, which tribecca bonus to do next?

I see vc have a 500 one, is there 1000 ones to do anywhere?

Brendygg

doyles room has a 500-600 one i think

Brendygg

found this one http://bonuswhores.com/poker-host.php

nicnicnic

pokerplex on the crypto do a $200 each month 1000 mpps to clear,

ianmc38

I'm currently 75% of the way through Paddy Powers $500 bonus. It has taken the same time as the VC one, but for half the amount.

patmac

For the smaller stake people I just cleared the GJP bonus and signed up with VC promotion code is jan1000 and you have until 30th March 2006 €200 requires 32000 points up to $1000. Maybe we should sticky this thread as it's a great way of earning a few bob.
