Hi,

I have been starting having thoughts about this bonuswhoringthing and I think I will give it a try. I have only made deposits at nordicbet before but I stopped playing there now and found another room in the platform b2b which offers - to me at least - a very tempting bonus. (100% up to €1000 - 30 days to play and 10€ for every 100vip)

Now to the question; Is this a bonus I could clear? I am playing mostly MTT's and Sng's but recently I've started to play more and more cg's.

I cashgame maybe around 4-5 hours a day, multitabling up to 4 tables at the same time and maybe 3-4 freezeouts or sats and 5-7 Sng's.

So, what do you think? Is it a good one for me?

Thanks in advance,

/troae

what stakes are you playing? if you are playin decent stakes then i would think the bonus wouldnt be terrible if you play that much every day. I cant play at B2B so some of the eurofish will have to answer more in depth.

Uptil now I have been playing NL50 and occassionally NL100 6handed.
It feels like I own NL50 pretty hard so maybe I should wait till I feel fully comfortable to beat NL100?

If I were you I would be taking advantage of the tower gaming first time deposit bonus.

At 5 points per $1 to clear its close to 100% rakeback (and works out at exactly 100% rakeback when playing sngs/mtts)

b2b recently moved to contributed rake to clear bonuses. This means for every pot YOU play and rake is taken equal to .3euros or something you get a rkaed hand.

This type of bonus clears at 1euro per hour per table, so you'd need to put in close to 1000 TABLE hours eg 250hours of 4 tabling or like 125 hrs 8 tabling.
You'd have to put about 8 hours of 6 tabling in every day for a month to clear this bonus, seems like too much work to me...

But I read that the new vip-distribution-system means that you can earn up to 3.75 vip per pot if You have contributed to the pot. Does that change the calculation you have made above? I guess it depends a lot how many hands one play? *confused*

@Jibalob

What is tower gaming? a pokerroom? which platform if yes?

Yes it's a poker room

Tower gaming is part of the Ongame/Pokerroom network.

I am not so sure about that - whether it's near the old ones or not. Suppose it depends on how many pots you play?

Do you think it's playable at NL50 or should I take the step up to NL100.

and as for vip-points, what is best? FL, PL or NL?

b2b doesnt have lots of traffic, so you'll need to play 100nl for sure. Id just cram as manay tableso n as possible, but the software is not built for multitabling, otherwise id still be there doing sign ups

Also, if youre a decent fl player and the volume is there, then sure id play that

24h software (B2B) only allows 5 tables open, as far as I know still.

The new contributed rake system makes the B2B bonus act like rakeback rather than a bonus. I know for a fact there are better value deals than this one if your playing >NL100.

NEVER step up your stakes for the sake of a bonus. That's a major recipe for disaster.
