Hi,

I figured that with my first post I should contribute something useful So far all you bonuswhores here I would like to inform you of a quite lucrative bonus at www.martinspoker.com. Its a 600€ max 100 % deposit bonus (notice that they have only Euro currency) wich requires 3000 Vip-points to earn (for the full amount). Vip-points are dealt for every hand at your table that rakes more than 30 cents, either if you are in the hand or not.

The con side is that the site sucks ass. Its javawritten and kinda slow, and it lags quite a bit from time to time. I multitabled 200€ NL and earned the bonus in just two days, so even if you play 100€ NL or even 50€ NL you can earn this bonus quite fast if you multitable and play something like 5-6 hours a day for a couple of days or over a weekend (though I can imagine it might take a week or even more at 50€ NL).

Also the players at this site are horrible, actually they are the worst calling stations I ever seen. The fishes at Party does at least do some crazy raising. These little fishies just keep on calling. I had to remind myself to never throw out a continuation bet unless I hitted the flop, coz I knew I would be called anyway. VALUEBET! So anyone interested in adding a little extra cash, check it out.

Welcome Gridlock!!

The bonuscode for the 100% up to 600-euros is "NOVDEPOSIT". It's 5x RHs which is pretty good.

BUT here's the real kicker--
The bonuscode "NOVRELOAD" is still working too! It's 100% up to 200-euros. Not only will these bonuses stack (ie, not cancel each other out) but the two bonuses will clear concurrently.

So deposit 600 with NOVDEPOSIT.
Then deposit 200 with NOVRELOAD.
That's 800-euros ( ~$950) for the same 3,000 RHs. Well worth it.

I don't think the site is bad/slow. And I LOVE all the calling stations.

What do they consider as a raked hand. What's the min level you need to play ($25NL, $50NL, $100NL.......)?

As Gridlock said:

To get a "VIP-Point" (ie, a RH) the hand must reach 7-Euros and be raked .30. But with all the calling stations, it clears reasonably well at NL50, and is quick at NL100.

I will add that if you name your referrer there's a Tell-A-Friend bonus of 25 to you and 50 to your referrer. I believe this TAF is free and clear (No raked hand requrement).

EasyT,

I also love the calling stations, but however, while the client in itself isn't that bad I experienced some serious lag/disconnections while playing there. I havent experienced this on other sites and doubted there was something wrong with my connection. Then I noticed that the other players experienced these problems as well. I should mention though, that I e-mailed their support and asked about this and they told me they were working really hard to solve this issue. I agree, the site is nice, I just think its a little strange that while Party can handle 80,000 players without server problems the Bet2Bet-network has these problems at peak times.

I wasn't aware of the reload bonus, so thanks man, adds another 200 to my bankroll

I don't play at peak times. I play evenings Eastern Time. The network is busiest in the afternoons my time (which is evenings for Europe). So I guess I luckily miss the glitches.

For anyone interested, there is now a patch for PokerTracker so that PT works on B2B.

This bonus and these reloads are too good to last. The faster the word spreads the sooner they will disappear. I guess that development is inevitable though. I just hope that they will be able to pay without going bankrupt.

Only 50 handhistories are available in the cashier at any given time. How do I save these in real time? Is it possible?

Oh, and here's a great idea -- get 25 euro by using a Martin's player name as your referrer --
I used the name EasyT43.
This is a 25 euro bonus that clears after 200 VIP, and is ALSO concurrent. SO that's 825 euro for 3000 VIP. Thats <3.5X!!!

No, really.

Check the PokerTrack forums, search 'B2B', you'll find a link for a free HHxGetter program. Pulls off the Handhx every minute or so.

Anybody try the limit tables at this site? Damn, I got too many bonuses in play. Need to get my game face on.

How many days do you get to clear?

and when you say slow/laggy/disconnect would you say around Pokerroom speed ('cause that's the slowest I've ever played)?

Sometimes it becomes very slow at peak hours, almost unbearable. When that happens I just play at other sites.

The limit games are sparse, this bonus is best cleared at 100NL and 200NL 6-max

3 STEP SETUP :
download and install this goody: http://www.billnet.nu/hhgetter
Patch PT with the latest update: www.pokertracker.com/patch.html
Make a storage folder for all your B2B Hand Hx. Open the HHGetter software - 2nd tab 'DownloadOptions' --tell Getter which folder to put the hand histories in. And I chose '1 file per session'
Tell PT where to look for new Hand Hx. -- second icon, gray window, 'Configure", browse for your Newly Minted B2B HHx folder



GETER'GOIN' (4steps):
Open the Dreamland (or other) front page, and steer it to the Hand Hx. page. Leave this page open on the desktop.
Open HHGetter and 'activate' - (I run it once with 50 hands per check, then I switch it back to 10 hands)
Open PT -- run (2nd Icon)
Play poker
Open GT+/PAce? -- after a few hands, you look for your sign in name in the window and your tables
e
eeeee is smart.

Assuming NL you will clear the bonus playing 2/4 and 3/6 quite fast. Since you will get a Vip-point after the pot is 6€ or higher you can clear the bonus almost as quick playing 1/2. I took me two long days (about 15 hours of play) multitabling 1/2 NL, so you can estimate a little less at higher stakes.

It isnt really a good idea trying to clear this bonus playing the lower fixed limits since the rake kicks in after 10€ instead of 6€ and playing something like 0.5/1 or 1/2 fixed could take some time. Also this site is not a skin of Pokerroom its part of the Bet2Bet-network. As said previously in the thread the client works fine mostly, but at peak times has some minor to (sometimes) major problems.

Thanks for the info

One question. Will it take 90 days before I get the bonus money even if I clear it in a few days ?

"Will be paid out after 90 days with €20.00 per VIP 100"

Yeah I think it's like other B2B sites where it's payed out after a certain time period. Do you guys think we can withdraw our initial deposit(s) after clearing all bonus requirements w/ out nullifying the bonus? Then we can just wait the 90 days and get paid w/ out having our money stuck in the account

The bonus will be paid out after 90 days. Im not sure of this, but I can't imagine the bonus payout will be cancelled if you take out the money from your account. That would be quite absurd. Personally, I withdrawed all my money after clearing the bonus and recieved a e-mail telling me my bonus would be paid out after the remaining 88 days.

Not enough limit tables -- stay home if you have to play limit.
90 days to complete.
Turn off animations.

Quit screwing around and get these 3 bonuses before they fix something!!! There are 20 other B2B rooms -- we can find you rake back at one of them. Quit screwing around! (Do this in one month and they'll give you 30 euros RB. Take longer and you'll likely finish with 15 euro RB.)

Yes, you can w/d. I near-doubled up with the Christmas reload and pulled out all, still waiting for the 90 to pass to get the other 600 euros And if you finish the bonus in one month, they'll toss in another 30 euros of rakeback.
I'm a know-it-all.

Wow. This sounds like a really juicy bonus. I have a couple stupid questions though. When you deposit, do you deposit in Euros and it automatically converts it to US dollars when you withdraw it from neteller. For example, when you deposit the inital 600, will neteller make the conversion so it shows up as a -$700 (or whatever the exact number is) transaction in your neteller account? Also, in NL games, what constitutes a raked hand? Is it similar to the party structure where you just have to be dealt cards and the rake has to be $.01 or $.25? Thanks.

Edit: oops, never mind about the raked hands part. I just read it in the original post.

bdawg -

Yes, Neteller does all the heavy lifting for you. Just go to Martins deposit 600 euros, it will show up as ~us$725 in Neteller. Neteller charges you 1.9% fee for doing this. But 100% bonus less 1.9% Neteller fee is still a 98.1% bonus, dude.

Now seriousy...

Cool. I'm downloading it right now. So let me get this straight. The total bonuses come out to 600 (initial) + 200 (reload) + 25 (referral) + 30 (for clearing in 30 days) = 855 Euros right? Thats about 1k US dollars, all for 3k raked hands?!?! Sweet!!!

Also, do you know if they have frequent reload bonuses? And why don't you think it'll last EasyT?

You must make two separate deposits -- one for 600 euro, bonus code NOVDEPOSIT, referrer EasyT43
second deposit for 200 euros, bonus code NOVRELOAD.

bdawg -- this is the NOVember DEPOSIT bonus and the NOVember RELOAD. And the fever is growing. This bonus cannot last -- I cashed out hundreds of euros of their money and they still owe me another 600 while I'm off doing another B2B room -- and I'm not alone. Their support told others that both of those bonuses were over back in early December, yet they linger. Thank your lucky stars and deposit already.

phew i just managed to log in and download the client...i couldn't access the site for most of today. I was afraid they were going to rescind the bonus.

Here we go with depositing. It's going to be weird playing with euros. They're worth MORE than dollars, right?

*edit* Not to be paranoid, but how legit is this site? It seems pretty ghetto. I can't find any security or auditing info on the site. Not to mention it won't let me activate my account for some reason. This is backed by B2B? Is there any reason to be hesitant here?

You should be hesitant because we're already spending all their money

Seriously, I've played several B2B skins, and they all shared the same cashier, and did exactly what they said they'd do on the day they said they'd do it. All of them. And I really am already spending the money, so yes, your money will come back.

This Is Crazy
Multiple people have reported yet another active reload at 10x. It's paid at the end of 30 days, so there are no trip report confirmations, but if this is like any of their bonuses, they should all clear concurrently anyway.

{edit- NOT RECOMMENDED} is 50% up to 200 Euro, 30 days, 50 Euro per 500 VIP

I'm not touching this. There's going to be a backlash. These bonuses are old and fishy looking.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

They're just crazy Europeans...it says so right in their logo.

They have a reputation of paying as promised, and were responsive to my questions before I signed up (would anyone feel more comfortable if I post my emails from their support?).

All poker bonuses are "too good to be true" IMO (all my friends raise a disbelieving eyebrow when I tell them I make good money off of pokersites and casinos). This one is no different. So I'm not going to stay away in fear of bad things.

All these Martin's bonuses are too good to be true. Stay away. Play at Empire.


Hey, Boon, Yeah, 8 man tables for NL. Pretty loose. Watch for the callers trying to hit 2pr.

No, really.

I remember something about not being able to cash out for 90 days - does this mean you can't cash anything out for 90 days including your initial deposit?

I don't think i can afford to lock up funds like that for such a long period..

You can cash out, but you won't receive your bonus before 90 days. Anyhow why not continue playing there after the bonus? They have some of the softest SNG's and ring games on the net.

FAST cashouts, too. I withdrew some of my deposit last night after playing, and had my money back in Neteller when I woke up this morning (~ 6 hours).

Because there are even more B2B rooms out there offering good bonuses! All at the same tables.

hmmm, because bodog is dead to me, I figured I'd look around at different rooms again. Might as well take a free $1000. Can anyone tell me how I know I've cleared the bonus? Does it tell you or do you just have to guess?

You can check your VIP points at the cashier as you go. The points update after you leave your table.

The only confirmation of the bonus you will get is the one you get AS you make the deposit. After that, the bonus doesn't show "pending" anywhere. Jot it down or print the screen if you want record of the details.

Bump --
still going ...
600 euro signup/first deposit match bonus "novdeposit" @ 90days + TAF "easyt43" awarded at 200VIP
AND "novreload" - 200 euro match on additional deposit, awarded at 600vip completion
Plus, if you clear 3001 VIP in one calendar month, they award you RB of 50euro the following month.

Constant questions:
  • yes you can w/d without bolloxing the bonus
    yes it is still going, even though it is January
    No, don't ask CS anything
    Yes they clear concurrently
    The time periods listed are BOTH the time you have to complete the bonus AND the time the bonus is awarded
    You can only track VIP points -- the only acknowlegements of your bonus is during the deposit.
    At VIP point is a raked had of .31 euro or more -- this happens with a ~7euro pot at NL and a ~10euro pot at Limit.
    Yes you can clear it at 50NL oe even 20NL, but it just takes longer.
    Yes PT works - see above
    Yes you can Multitable
    Yes people are getting paid
    Yes, the players are crazy
    One free w/d per month, additional w/d cost 15euro or 800vip
    Yes you can spend VIP without wrecking the bonus
    Yes Neteller works and there are transaction fees both directions
    Mostly people are credited the novreload immediately, but there are occasional 1 day lags
    Mostly you'll have your w/d in less than a day
I think that's all
I'm a know-it-all.




No, really.
