Mint Sauce

hi guys, wondering if any of yas can help me, play alittle bit of poker, not alot, play the odd time with my mates and a little bit on line, although the on line play so far has only been for play money on party poker,

recently got a sign up promotion, but was wondering if some one familar with the site could explain the realase condition

i have been offered 50% extra with my first deposit, with the release condition

Standard Points = 5 times the bonus amount on PartyPoker.com

All sites offer some kind of first deposit bonus. I can't comment on this one in particular, but in general they take ages to clear when your playing small stakes, and single tabling. I know my first one took months to clear, and I was playing 10 hours a day.
You should probably consider signing for a rakeback deal. Contact Ste05 on here by pm for more info.
Also from what others have said on here the rake for small stake players on Party is unusually high. Afaik they charge 20% entry on stt's when 10% is the industry standard.

Firstly, I just checked the site and the standard offer for First Deposits is 100%, so tell them to go jump for the 50% if you decide to deposit. (You'll get 100% and it'll take you the same time to earn it AFAIK).

You don't get the bonus straight away, you need to earn it by playing and the way the bonuses are earned on Party is that you have to earn 5 times the amount you deposit in Party Points to get all your bonus (there are usually time limits on these bonuses too). Sooo, say you deposit $50, you need to earn 250 Party Points to get the bonus. Or deposit $100, you'd need to earn 500 Party Points.

How you earn Party Points is in the link above, basically play 20 raked hands at a certain level (hands where a rake is taken from the pot) to earn XX amount of Party Points.

if thats the case, i could be wrong, then this must be an extra 50%, was offered to me when i won 2 or 3 hands in a row, at the time it said had to deposit straight away, but its still in my profile and valid till end of month

points slightly clearer now

I don't remember how I got my bonus unlocked but remember was dead easy...

I was advised many times not to play SnGs in there as they have rediculous 20% rake on STT but somehow I win more games there then in ipoker (titan)
I dont mean winning proper money but I can say I've no problems beating $6 SnG normal 10 seaters. Just follow basic SnG stratagy and you will have your bonus redeemed.

It sounds like relatively OK easy to unlock bonus in there....

Do you put the correct bonus code?
I had a problem with one bonus code that was restricted only to their casino and after I used it it locked my deposit to only casino games.
I emailed support and they fixed it immidiately. Email them with the bonus you were depositing and they will apply it

ye will do thanks

yep its the right code for sure.
