5. Special First Deposit Sign up Bonus: 100% Bonus up to $300
a. The standard FCP sign up bonus is 50% up to $200
b. Also, the standard deposit clearing ratio is $1 of bonus cash for every $5 of rake contributed; whereas, Charter Members get $1 for every $3 of rake
|
Looks like the bonus clears at about 33% rakeback... but if I could get rakeback too....
As long as you sign up for your FCP poker account under the same email address as your charter membership, you will get all the benefits.
EDIT: Looks like no rake back 'til January?

I need to double check, but I think I'm a charter member under two different e-mails. If I am, someone can have one of the e-mails to use to get the bigger bonus. I don't have much interest in clearing poker bonuses anymore plus it's a pokerroom skin...

Someone correct me if Im wrong here. But isnt the bonus requirements kinda high also. If Im figuring right that is. Im a charter member so I get $1 for every $3 in rake. Use 0.25 as a rake example, you would need 1200 raked hands for a $100 bonus, right? The Bet365 December bonus is close to a third of that in raked hands, and you dont have to be a charter member there. Now I know rake fluctuates (sp) so you could potentially receive your bonus in fewer hands, or it could take more hands.
Im not familiar with this bonus structure, so any advice on it would help me out before I go make a deposit over there.
Thanks

Well it looks like they changed the rake requirements. Now its $1 for every $2 rake played. What would that make it now? 800 hands raked hands now for a $100 bonus using .25 as a rake example.
The 2:1 rake is for everyone, Charter member or not right now.

There is the official announcement.
.25 is way too high an estimate.
your rake paid is the rake taken on the hand divided by the number of players at the table.
The highest rake I have ever paid is at 5/10 limit 6 max... and that's about .40 per hand.
If you are playing low level NL full, expect closer to .05 per hand.

Yeah thats the same email I got. I just used the .25 as an example. If you went with a .05 on a $100 bonus then that would mean you would need 4000 raked hands, right. That would be brutal wouldnt it?

I got the same e-mail and it said they were considering changing it to hands played. I'll wait and see if they do this.
