It's 10% up to $200, and 20X instead of 10X like the initial deposit bonus. If you have the roll though it might be worth it since it would only take a couple hours to clear. http://playersclub.888.com/Default.a...02371730832381


Happy Hours!
April 30, 2005; 20:00 - 22:00 CONT

There's nothing happier than a Casino-on-Net Happy Hour!
That because everyone has a chance to win as much as $200!

Simply Deposit at least $100 during the pre-selected Happy Hours (20:00 - 22:00 CONT) and we will add a 10% Bonus of up to $200 to your bankroll!

Simple Rules:

To qualify, you must deposit at least $100 during event hours.
In order to Cash-Out this Bonus, an amount totaling no less than twenty (20) times the bonus amount must be wagered.
Reverse Cash-Outs will not qualify as deposits for this event.

Yes, you have to have $2K and be willing to part with it for about a week because they are slow as shit to withdraw from. CON = Casino-On-Net, but you went to the link I provided before asking me this question so you already knew that....

You only have to wager the bonus, so can I withdraw my $2k at once and just play with the bonus ?

Yeah I know this is CON.

But damn, part with $2000 for about a week? I remember last time they did this and it took FOREVER to get my money back. Ah...but I guess you can think of it a loan that should pay off 10% interest that has 0 risk, right?

aaaaagh....

I guess I'll have to shift this from my checking account, as my neteller account is currently too dry to run this.

Yes, I was talking about that.

Um...I don't really get all of these time zone abbreviations. What time is the happy hour in the central timezone? Oh...time zones give me headaches....

On the Player's Club screen is a clock in the upper right corner. That's the CON time. I can't remember what timezone each casino/poker room is in -- I check the clock on their site.

No, really.

Just a reminder to everyone

The "happy hour" is between now and one and a half hours from now. Get whoring!

Hehe. They gave me an extra $100 ON TOP of the $200. I like Casino on Net!
Wooohooo!

Too bad I only cashed out $200 after all was said and done. Hey, it's $200 more dollars that I didn't have before, right? A $2000 loan for a week at 10% interest is basically what this turns into now. I'm ok with that.

I only had $700 that wasn't tied up, and so I cleared a $70 bonus this evening($71--woohoo!)

I have both my deposit and withdrawl through Neteller, and I 'only' wagered 20X bonus, not 50X. Auto Cashier interface said my cashout was "accepted." Let's see how long they keep my money. Perhaps I'll start keeping more cash in Firepay.

With firepay you're only allowed to deposit up to $1,000. With E-pass $500. CON doesn't accept IGMPay and some of the others that poker sites do. I just saw the same policy change eeeee. Looks like they're trying to finally crack down on bonus whoring. Looks like the end of happy hour and 888-day if this is their new policy.

They don't have IGMPay, but they still allow you to deposit using your checking account, using their service, which is basically like IGMPAY. I wouldn't say it's the END of bonus whoring at their site.

All their other bonuses are 2X. If you do a little bit of cover play they'll continue to offer them to you. So, even if they change the the happy hour and 888-day bonus to 50X it's still worth it to keep CON in mind.

Was this for happy hour or their initial - either way it fucking sucks. I deposited 2000 but cashed it out and havent even started wagering yet - was this before the happy hour even started or in the middle somewhere.

I don't know when it showed up.
It is CON's general bonus policy -- there is a link at the bottom of their promotions page. The policy covers start up bonuses (10x), all other bonuses not specified (2x), and is footnoted there that Neteller-sourced is 50x.

Like I said, my cashout was marked "approved." I imagine if someone is on the short list entitled "Whores", they may be enforcing the policy during cashout review. I guess that A) it is a new enough policy, and B)they have spotty enough tracking/software method that c) they may let it through.
I'm a know-it-all.
