I have 35 dollars on Neteller and 408 dollars on Empire at the moment.

The new reload is 100% up to 100 dollars.

My problem is probably obvious.

I can't deposit the 35 onto any site to turn it into 100 (because neteller minimum is 50).
I can't withdraw anything from Empire because that would make be ineligable for any reload bonuses.

Am I basically out of luck for September's reload?

EDIT: I found that Pokerstars is minimum 25 dollars via Neteller so this is one viable option. It will be a Friday night and there will be a lot of fish to help me out with my goal. But I've heard that the .5/1 isn't incredibly easy.

Get some nice person on here to trade you money on sites. Send somebody $100 on Empire. Have that person send you $100 on Stars. Wait two days and take the money out of Stars and put it into your Neteller (you might be able to take it out as soon as you get it, but it could take 48 hours for you to do so). Deposit that money into Empire.

It's that easy.

I thought that empire didn't allow any transfers or withdrawals before you get the bonus for just this reason.

Also I don't have a Pstars account yet, only a Paradise and Empire. The only reason I suggested putting 25 dollars into Pstars is because they don't offer a deposit bonus so I wouldn't be missing out on anything.

Hawklet - Check the Empire T&C but I think that they only make you ineligible for the bonus if you withdraw DURING the bonus period.

I think that since the bonus period doesn't begin until 9/4 that you may be able to withdraw from Empire and re-deposit.

Again, not certain on this but I think that's how it is stated in the T&C.

The T&C only says "during the bonus period". I don't know if that means from the 4th to the 6th (when the deposits will get bonuses) or the 1st to the 6th (since the bonus came out).

I always assumed it was the latter, or else wouldn't that defeat the purpose of offering a reload bonus?
