GJP reload bonus?

Lafortezza

Just logged into GJP, and the lobby (bottom left) has a banner advertising a 50% up to $500 reload bonus.
600 Joker points to release $10.

Just wondering about the details of this.
1) Can I cash out $1000, the redeposit straight away to get the bonus?
2) Does it affect my current 'loyalty' bonus, ie if clearing your bonus you don't receive RB. Is it worth more $$ to clear the bonus and not receive GJP RB?
3) Is there an expiry date on this bonus?
4) Is 600 points per $10 released good value?

Since I joined GJP on Ipoker network, I've earned 19,000points having played 3500 hands, so how good value is this offer?

Nothing on the GJP website about this, hence why I'm asking here.

Shortstack

1) Can I cash out $1000, the redeposit straight away to get the bonus? Once the bonus is applied nothing will remove it.
2) Does it affect my current 'loyalty' bonus, ie if clearing your bonus you don't receive RB. Is it worth more $$ to clear the bonus and not receive GJP RB? Bonuses do not affect loyalty payments
3) Is there an expiry date on this bonus? You have 60 days from deposit to earn max bonus
4) Is 600 points per $10 released good value? Of course! different skins have different rates of earning points so it is not that clear cut to define value.

Details are on front page of GJP now.

Is it released all in one go or incrementally?

I've raked about 1200 since I setup my Ipoker account. Ive accumlated 22k joker points (roughly) in that time. That's circa 10k hands, so seems decent?

So that would be about $360 of the bonus cleared? 22000/600pts per $10?
I'm trying to figure out if it's worth cramming in alot of hands between now and the end of this month before I go on holiday for 2 weeks. If the bonus is released bit-by-bit then I'd do it, not if it's a lump sum when you clear the full amount of GJP points required.

Other skins release it in 10$ chunks so I can't see GJP being any different.

I get 15 points per dollar of rake for STTs, so to release $10 dollar of bonus I'd have to rake $40 in STTs fees, so the bonus works out at about 25% rakeback.

It is released in $10 increments.

Points accumulation depends on VIP level. See www.greenjokerpoker.com/static/vip.shtml for more details.

Just tried to withdraw $1000/750EUR to avail of this bonus, withdraw doesn't go though, error: "Poker account locked".

I get onto support who tell me that they've contacted the payments department to up my withdrawal limit and unlock my account.
Which will be done (hopefully) by tomorrow morning.

And now I can't play poker at all on GJP until this is done according to Support, but I've just sat down at a table, so we'll see what happens.

All because I apparently tried to withdraw more than the "New Player withdrawal limit"

That sucks.

If it is not sorted in the morning PM me. You should still be able to play, it will only be locked for withdrawals.
