Yeah;the general consensus has been that 15x is pretty bad.It's been whispered that this may be a trap by Empire for the bonus whores that they so loath.
On the bright side I hear they may toss a 7x later on this year..........

If they wanted to trap bonus whores it would make more sense to lower the raked hands requirement.
I think it is more likely that by making it 15x ensures that they recover all the bonuses through the rake.
Say you have 10 players at NL25 all trying to clear the same bonus at the same table. Everyone will have to play about 2000 hands to clear the bonus. If the pot average is about $10 dollars then you have ~ $1000 of rake = 10 bonuses.

I'll say this again...Free money is just that. FREE MONEY.
It should take you about twelve hours to clear this bonus if you are four tabling. If you're going to play twelve hours of poker over the next ten days then why would you not go for this bonus (if you're still playing at the lower limits)? Hell, take a Saturday and grind away for 5-6 hours and knock out half of it.
I'll be doing this....and I'll be in Las Vegas for a few of the days while this bonus is going on.

Well I made a $70 deposit using JUNEFEVER, even though I have limited time over the next week or so. I get the email saying we have added $70 to your bonus account, but when I look at the bonus account it shows the JUNEFEVER bonus as "Elapsed".
I emailed support and got auto response saying they will get back to me within 48hrs. Anyone else had similar problems ?

Yes. Me too. This is the dreaded, new 15 day w/d limitation at all the Party skins. If you have withdrawn within the last 15 days, you cannot participate in the bonus.
The sad thing is, they don't even let you reapply a couple days later, they don't warn you about the effect of your w/d (like PStars does,) and they don't even tell you why it expired. I deposited after 11 days, but could have waited until the last day of the bonus and qualified then.
I think the new policy will change my behavior significantly -- play my bonuses sooner, faster, and get my money out even faster than that, so the 15 day clock starts right away. Pretty bass-ackwards policy, really.

My deposit was 17 days after my last cashout.
Still waiting for reply from Empire.
Seems crazy that they introduce a restriction that encourages you to take your money out as soon as the bonus is cleared.
It would make more sense to Empire if a reload bonus was only eligble to customers who have payed some rake in the last x days.

Same thing as you, sinky --
But the cavalry is coming. I got this simple, clear, easy to understand email today:
Quote:
Dear EasyT,
Further to your email we would like to inform you that please write back to us after the bonus has been issued to your account and the raked hand status will be considered from 23rd of June as you have made a deposit on 23rd.
After you write back to us we will inform you about the status of raked hands and according to that you need to play the remaining raked hands for the bonus to be released in to your account.
|
??????????? Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ooooookaaaaaaayy.  Thats..  ..just..  ..what.. ..I'll...do.
Ok, I read this (four times to get it) to mean: go ahead and start playing. They'll count raked hands from the 23rd toward the bonus when it later gets applied.

i clearded the hole JUNEFEVER bonus yesterday and the 100$ went directly to my accout - there were no problems with it.
And 15 Raked hands is not that much since the bonus is just additional free mony added to your winnings
