I Play there - It is a Prima network skin, so if you have played at Royal Vegas Poker, 7 Sultans Poker, Captain Cooks Poker, etc. you have already experiecined the type of players/games avail.

I hope this helps with regards to explaining the promo. You receive the bonus money in $20 increments.

It is imo a nice place to play - the players are upstanding and usually the hand that should win does.

If you do join/play, look for me "88FingersJDC"

There are no wagering requirements on the bonus money ConfusedONE. You're free to withdraw any or all of it (specifically referring to the deposit $20 get up to $200 sign-up bonus).

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Kind Regards,

Just curious. How long do you have to collect enough points to get all of the bonus. 300 points x 10 increments = 3000 raked hands. Thats a pretty big number.

There is no time limit on the bonus. It will take quite a while, not the easiest bonus to get. But the site is very nice. It is one of my favourites, Mostly Scandanavians on this site and there seems to be the right mix of skilled players and weak ones that makes the site profitable for myself.

Please note that the Sign-up Bonus will be paid out in increments of $20 for every 300 Bonus Redemption Points (BRPs) earned to the maximum aggregate value of $200. You have 30 (thirty) days from the date on which your account is opened to earn the full $200 Sign-up Bonus. Should you not have completed the requirements to earn the full $200 Sign-up Bonus by the end of the 30 (thirty) day period, no further bonuses will be paid out.

My bad!
I thought i was still collecting my bonuses after 30 days....I guess not!
Thanks for correcting me!

Yes, it's 30 days to complete the full $200. If you only manage $160 for instance and you have reached 30 days from sign-up, the remaining $40 bonus falls away.

Not necessarily. Depending on what stakes you play, you can earn this faster. For raked hands at the 1/2 level you get 2 BRP's. For raked hands at the 2/4 level and above you get 3 BRP's.

If you only play 0.25/0.50 or 0.50/1 then it would take a bit longer. Here's a tip though, we've heard from a few players that playing stud games helps speed up this process due to the antes that you pay - you're contributing to the pot each time

There is a massive FreeRoll at the Gaming Club (and all Prima sites) at 1p.m. today, if you have the time. $100,000 in prizes I believe, but it is a huge field, at least 9,000 signed up so far. No entry requirements of any kind other than a real money account.

I won $20 on a freeroll on Tuesday night that TGC hosted(11th out of 121 players); that is my seed money there, since I have not made a deposit. I'll see if I can run it up into something nice...

I like the interface, software is very stable, very fishy players.

As most of you know, we’ve gotten a lot of feedback (mostly negative :P) about the way raked hands are calculated at our poker room and as also mentioned earlier in this thread, the end result is that it takes a lot of hands to clear bonuses. Because of all the feedback & suggestions that we’ve received, we’ve made some rather monumental changes to our definition of a raked hand.

As of this moment, our raked hand definition has changed and is now the following:

“Any player who is dealt cards, where the pot is raked a minimum of 0.25c”

So it’s no longer necessary to contribute to the pot for it to be deemed a raked hand for you. As long as you’ve been dealt cards, and the rake taken is 0.25c, you’re good to go. This applies to certain stake levels of course and can be seen in the software help files or on our website.

What does this mean for you as a player?
Quite simply, earning bonuses will be that much quicker & easier. We’re not altering our BRP bonus structure so you will still earn BRP’s for promotions in the same way. The only difference is that the allocation of points for raked hands per limit will change to the following:

Raked Hand at $0.25/$0.50 = 1 BRP
Raked Hand at $0.50/$1.00 and above = 3 BRP’s

If you’re familiar with the BRP system already, you can see that not much has changed.

New Sign-up Offer, Deposit $20, get up to $300 Free
We’ve increased our sign-up offer from $200 max to $300 max for new players and works exactly the same way as it previously did where for every 300 BRP’s earned, $20 of bonus is paid out, up to a maximum aggregate of $300.

This sounds good, but I’m already an existing player, what’s in it for me?
We know that many of you may already be existing players with us from the recent OIC challenge etc. so we will be running a bonus for existing players very soon. Please keep any eye on your inbox for upcoming reload bonus information

Thoughts on these changes will be very much appreciated.

ScottyZ - we didn't post this in the advertising/spam section because we thought it was relevant to the topic of our previous sign-up bonus. If you feel it's overtly commercial, let us know and we'll tone down or will gladly have the post shifted to the advertising section.

This just went from one of the worst signup bonuses on the internet to one of the best. I'd advise every whore out there to hit up gaming club, $300 for 1,500 hands of .50/$1..

As for me, I'll be sitting on the stoop with a big frowny face on since I already have a gaming club account.. but I'm not complaining. The free $15 I got has turned into quite a nice sum of money.

Zithal · Dec 14,2004, 04:21 PM

The whore inside me is quite excited about this, but sadly I went the way of BBC Z and took the free $15 when that deal was out.

How do you know the status of your bonus?
