I am considering doing BET365 & SportingBet. Both bonuses sound very good:

BET365 --> 250 raked hands = $50 ----> So you earn 20 cents per rake towards bonus

SportingBet --> 500 raked hands = $100 ---> So you earn 20 cents per rake towards bonus

I normally use Absolute Poker and do the 20%. At AP 100 raked hands = $10 ---> So I earn 10 cents per rake towards bonus


Looking for feedback on Bet365 and SportingBet about the following:

1. Bonus---Is it straightforward....or did I miss something (please see above)?

2. Bonus Status---How easy is it to check on...can you check it while playing...or do you need to call or e-mail??

3. CASH OUT---How long does it take to receive your cash back into your NETELLER account?

Thanks
Pain is Temporary...Pride is Forever!!!

Bet365 - Prima skin so it's easy to track how many hands you've played. They have changed their bonus since I whored it so I'm not totally sure about it. Cashouts are ~48 hours like most Prima skins but you are only allowed one cashout per month without paying a $15US cashout fee.

SportingBet - Bonus is very difficult to track. You have to contact live support to find out how many hands you've played. And their "24h" live support is actually about "10h" live support and they take ten minutes to respond to an inquiry. The bonus itself is very good though, very worth doing. Cashouts take 24-36 hours. And the players are BY FAR the worst you'll find anywhere. It's not even close. Party's 25NL looks like 400/800 at the Bellagio by comparison.
Light years ahead of the competition.

Just off the top of my head, I believe SportingBet bonus requirements are contributed raked hands at $1/2 and above. Contributed hands slow you down quite a bit, unless you play 7CS. And I hear there aren't too many tables at the higher limits.
I'm a know-it-all.




No, really.

That 1/2 business is false. I and a lot of other people have easily done the bonus at 25NL and .25/.50 limit. Their T&Cs are innacurate.

Good to know -- went there for the casino bonus (nice) but avoided the poker. But it is contributed?

Yes I believe it is contributed.

And the 7CS isn't really an option either, unless you're a maniac and like losing money. The ante is prohibitively big. Makes the game a total -EV crapshoot.
