Well I decided to give this sign up bonus a shot. Deposited $75 on Nov 26. Played the bonus at .25/.50. Played a couple hours on the 26th, then a probably 4 or 5 more hours on the 27th. Monday I played around 4-6 hours and by this time was up $100 dollars. On Tuesday I played all day and was holding steady at $100 profit when I lost around $60 on a hand that a guy chased a straight draw all the way down to the river where he hit the straight. I had pocket 7's. Flop came 237 rainbow. I bet $5, he called. Turn was a 6. I bet $3 he raised to $7 and I pushed and I pushed all in. He called. River was a 5 and he hit his 9 high straight. He called $30 worth of bets chasing to the river. I stop for the night.
So after that Im down to around $100, so still up $25. I build it back up to around $110 total today and then loose another $50 when my AAKK falls to trip 10's that was well hidden. He had pocket 10's, I had pocket AK. Drops me down to $60. Then loose another $35 when my trip J's lost out to a chased flush.
Built it back up to $40 when I reached my rake total. So I started with $75, lost $35, made the $100 bonus (waiting on credit) for a $60 profit or a total of $135 final total. I'm going to go back and play at .10/.20 and see about getting that $35 back so I can at least break even.
Competition wasnt too tough at all at the .25/.50, dont know what the difference would have been in competition at the .50/1 level. The bonus would have been alot easier to clear there thats for sure.
Would I do it again? If I could play at the .50/1 I probably would, but my bankroll wouldnt allow that. At .25/.50 maybe not. Anyhow after this my bankroll is sitting at $250 and could have been close to $400 if not for those 3 hands.
Overall I had to have played 2000 plus hands just to clear the 500 raked hands at the .25/.50 nl tables. Oh yeah what made this take so long also was that I mostly just single tabled the whole thing. Not a good idea. I didnt think I was ever going to reach that 500 mark.
Dogs edit note: All monetary overall totals and total bets on those 3 hands are all off memory, Im old so they may not add up exactly.

I play micros at this site, trying to build up a roll agin while whoring some other sites.
All i will say is that its great multitabling and easy to beat at 50nl and even 100nl.
So properly rolled i dont see why this isnt an easy to pick-up bonus for each month they run it.

I wasnt in a big hurry so I didnt bother multi tabling. Wish I had of now though, because it did seem like a grind at times. I'm sure its alot easier at the 100nl if your bankrolled for it. I really wasnt.

Looks like they are doing the free $100 for December also. No deposit necessary if you already have money in there. Has to be cleared at .50/1 nl or higher. 500 raked hands (min .25 rake)

they say .5-1NL, but it's really just .25 rake minimum at whatever stakes you like. I play .5-1LHE Full Ring on Prima for bonuses and about 2/3 of the hands meet the rake requirement even though they say I have to play 1-2 minimum. Just clear the $5 minimum pot for the .25 rake and it counts as one hand.

Im pretty sure for the monthly bonus it states specifically .50/1 nl or higher. I know the sign up bonus can be played at lower stakes because thats what I did, played it at .25/.50.
But Ive never played the monthly bonus so I cant say for sure if they will pay it if played lower than the .50/1 nl

Most bonuses will clear pretty slow w/o multitabling. That being said, I don't think Bet365 is setup all that well for that. The tables are sorta big, and either using the slide or typing amounts can be tricky when involved in several hands...they less time to act then most sites. I think the competition is average overall. I play .25/.50 through 1/2 NL.
Don't forget the casino bonus at Bet365 as well...pretty easy money there.

I'm thinking about getting my feet wet with the Starluck and Planetluck bonus's. Then depositing to meet the requirements for the Bet365 casino bonus. I have like $140 in there right now. Then after the casino bonus moving my money back over to the poker room and clearing the December bonus before I attempt a withdrawal, since they only allow one free withdrawal a month.
Hopefully all will go well and by the end of those bonus's I'll have some decent money in my bankroll. Its sitting at $280 right now spread out between neteller, fortune poker and bet365.
I will start either tonight or in the morning with either Starluck or Planetluck. Gonna follow ttanaka around through his casino whoring.

This bet365 bonus is the best around. No new deposit needed and it clears at $1 per 5 raked hands.

Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

Hmm...I'll try that. Does anybody else have problems with the bet slider or entering manually? I have trouble w/just 3 tabling but maybe part of that is because they overlap and pop up over each other.

yeah the bet slider sucks i agree
but when you have the tiny tables up it seems odd how they overlooked that tiny error otherwise their interface is close to perfect imo, dont see how it could get any better

You can't see instant HH w/mucked hands at showdown either can you? I'm not crazy about their interface, but it's worth it for the bonuses. I like both Party/Empire and Stars better, interface-wise. Pokerroom I hate. That's about all I've played.
