Be really careful before you use one of multipokers monthly bonuses.
the reason is this: you must play 20 times the amount you payed to get you bonus. But the hand must be RAKED and the rake limit is qiute high.
I posted 200 dollars to get a 100 bonus. now i have less than 3 weeks to play 2000 raked hands and at the 2/4 tables they take rake at 20 dollars. So I figured that has to play for about 4000 hands total to reach 2000 raked ones. Yoy do the math 4000 hand on less than 3 weeks?

You don't get free money for nothing.
P.S. Try four tabling. It's really neat.

Yeah i was a bit surprised and annoyed at first, but its not as if i wasn't going to to play 2000 hands in the next three weeks anyways. So if it takes a bit longer to clear it really isn't a big deal.

Isn't this the way all party skin bonuses have been? x raked hands? at .5/1 the pot gets raked at $5 like it always has.

I don't know why it's so hard to clear. If I owned an online poker room I would LOVE to give away free money for little or no effort.

Dude; what are you talking about?
Multipoker's a party skin, right? That means they start taking rake at $2, not $20

So, are the raked multiples (7x, 10x, 20x) creeping up on Party skins in general?
Last week Empire 10x -- 10 cents per raked hand
This week EuroBet 15x -- 7 cents / raked hand
Next Multipoker 20x -- 5 cents / raked hand
Anyone do the math to figure out when to move on to greener pastures, or to play for rakeback instead of bonus? I'll be at Multipoker for the 20x, because my EPASS bonus probably will wait for me and I like clearing bonuses at Party skins.
But ...
at what point is it preferrable to go play the JetSet welcome bonus?, or RVP welcome bonus?, or .... well, you get it.
Anyone have a rational breakdown on how to make that decision? 4 cents a hand? 6 cents a hand? There seems to be no end to the bonuses, but there is a limit to my time and my risk. Anyone? Please?

If I recall, Multipoker has always been 20 x's. At least the last two I've done.
Maybe I'm wrong on that and the last one was 10 x's for $200.
Either way, I'm going to do it. I'll make more from this than I would from rakeback.

4000 hands in three weeks?
I usually play that many hands in three days.
