If you are a US Dollar depositor, make sure you deposit enough USD to cover the euros -- say $480?

There's no deadline published. This looks like their standard Welcome Bonus until further notice.....
Remember to get the Welcome and Referral bonus at these B2B sites..... no extra effort on your part.

hehe i was suprised you hadnt posted it already, i spoted it at BW forum which i check daily 
Midas, who knows how long it will last, no-one can say really.. but my bro missed out on the 200e 7x reload at martins by a few days when they suddenly closed it so he was left with just the 600e 7x.
just try and get on it asap.. I hadn't deposited for the party reload and am easily sacrificing it for this

Thanks Sink, I was just about to do Staff but this one is better.
Quick question, pardon if it's been asked....the original Martins 600e bonus/90 day bonus. I played the required VIPs, can I pull money out of there before the bonus is paid? Thx...

Their games have become really bad since Unibet and 24poker left them with all the fish.
I will probably never play on B2B again. Shame, this network was my cash cow for a long time.

Interesting you say this. In my experience with Martins, I thought they're 100-200NL shorthanded games were horrible, with a fish showing up every once in a while, getting destacked, and then leaving. This was during peak hours too. I didn't want to bring up the issue because everywhere I read people seemed to think their ring games were so juicy and loose. Maybe I'm the fish. :P
Bleh, as far as this bonus, still haven't decided if I want to do it yet. 5x is pretty tempting though...

A bunch of us are going over to b2bheavenDOTcom. It's pretty close to "square", as if you did a TAF split with a friend, and it doesn't matter who goes first that way.

warning, someone on the bw forum asked if tafs could work with this bonus and cs replied it wouldnt...
even tho it is accepted within their software / website...
i tafed with a random for a 25e bonus at 200vips which isnt even that great.. and after i checked with cs that it was ok.. they said both cannot be used, its one or the other - however they would make an excepetion for me? pretty wierd..
ur not risking much mind, I very much doubt they will refuse the 400e bonus due to a taf, one guy said he forgot to enter the bonus code at deposit and after contacting cs they applied the bonus anyway, so cs seem pretty cool.

Some rooms say you can't get both the bonus and the TAF. So far, so good, because I've been getting both bonuses. The b2b double dipping may not last forever, but it's real good right now.
If B2B's actual start enforcing the rule, and I can't deposit for a great bonus, I'll abandon the TAF account without ever playing a card and start over with the sign up and no TAF.
When anyone asks CS about a bonus they are not supposed to get, someone clubs another baby seal. http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ic.php?t=28028

Ok, too harsh on SinkRox?
I <3 SinkRox.
Though my first reaction was the same --  .
To all in this forum: When something ain't broke, don't fix it (or when it's better off broken, don't ask CS to fix it).
B2Bs are all paying the TAF 25-e on top of the bonus for no extra raked hands. They USED to be paying 1st Deposit bonuses and Reload bonuses concurrently, but everybody and their uncle decided to email support about it. 
Nevermind what their site says or their T&Cs say. Look at what their actions are, which in this case is writing checks. :P

Miffed:
NL50 is slow(ish), but it really depends on what time of day you can play this off, and how skilled you are at either finding a good table, or loosening up a tight one (pretty hard to loosen up a table when you're buying short). You're UK, right? So time of day might not be an issue..you'll find table selection during your normal hours.
Here's something, though: This is not an all-or-nothing bonus. Deposit as much as you can spare for the bonus. It pays 20-e per 100 VIPs. Maybe you get up to 500 VIPs and decide its just too slow. You could quit there and you'll still get 100-e of bonus after 30 days.

Wait I'm confused is this for a specific site or any site in the B2B network that you don't already have an acct with? And yeah, I have to agree the NL100 and up games on that site are pretty bad, not nearly as fishy as at party.

I deposited at Martinspoker back when novreload was still active. I got my reload bonus at 600 VIPs (as well as my TAF bonus) and now I am at 3000 VIPs (but I haven't gotten it paid out yet). I deposited on Jan. 28th, is that early enough to have my bonuses run concurrently?
I also heard that you have to wait until the 90 days is up before your deposit bonus is paid out, so I don't want find out that I missed out on some bonus due to me trying to cut corners... Any help would be appreciated (I did use your TAF code, btw  ).

It'd probably be a better idea if you did 3600 VIPs. Daluchy and I deposited around the same time as you, and we both did 3600 to be on the safe side.

Yeah, we now have trip reports from many folks who got less than the full EUR-600 because the concurrency went away. Play through to 3,600 VIPs to max this sweet 5x bonus. You have 90 days, so expect to be paid at the end of April. Mine should be coming any day now! 
Thanks for the TAF, bro!

I e-mailed them about it and since Feb 1st started you HAVE to get 3600 VIP if you want the initial + reload (if you didn't get 3000 vip before Feb 1st).

Daluchy didn't kill this bonus. It was already dead by the time he emailed after Feb 1. So no harm done, I guess. But this "email CS" mentality is not good for bonus-hunters as a whole.
Let's distinguish between Type A bonuses and Type B bonuses.
TYPE-A BONUSES:
These bonuses are non-risky. They're printed on the website, and the site has a long history paying what's due. If you have a problem with this type bonus, by all means email support, get it straightend out, and get PAID!
TYPE-B BONUSES:
These are all the other bonuses. Often times they're extra-juicy. But they have a higher level of risk, too. These are often time-sensitive, account-specific, "leaked" bonuscodes, or flat-out software mistakes. Recent examples:
 Martin's "NOVRELOAD",
Party's "20UPTO100" x6,
B2B's TAF concurrency
Pacific's early withdrawal.
Here you have no track-record to consult before you deposit, and you often can't consult the terms of the bonus because they aren't printed anywhere. You catch wind of it on the internet, and you just run with your half-knowledges. You absorb the potential risk, and pick up tons of easy cash as it falls through the fingers of the poker-sites and casinos.
Type-B bonuses occur regularly, and are the teet of bonus-hunters like myself. I'm the active bonus-hunter.... seeking out information about Type-B bonuses, and I'm usually right here to pass the information along to you guys!
Now my point here is that when you deposit for a TYPE-B bonus, you have to be prepared to absorb the risk of it. The longer you wait on it, the less risky it becomes because other bonus-hunters will be reporting back more information as time passes. But also, the longer you wait, the more chance of it not being still around when you get to it.
What is truly damaging is when a bonus-hunter deposits for a TYPE-B bonus, accepting the inherent risk of it. But then (s)he gets nervous about something-or-other, and emails support questions. For the sake of his own comfort-level, he notifies support of their rogue-bonus, causing the coffer to slam closed on somebody else's hand.
Are we all on the same page, now?
Can I continue to post about TYPE-B bonuses in the forum, or do I need to selectively PM individuals who "get it"?

Anyways, I just asked "what's the status of my bonuses?"
Not like "do they clear concurrently anymore?????"
Then they informed me I have 3000 and that it isn't enough anymore.

Please, don't get defensive. It's entirely not necessary. Relax. You and me...we're good here.
But this issue needs to be defined because not everyone understands me perhaps.
My point is that when the information that caused me to deposit for a bonus was from bonus-hunters (Type -B), I understand that I'm going to have to continue to rely on bonus-hunters for my follow-up information. If I go emailing support, it's like snitching my fellow mobsters to the cops. Somebody's eventually going to get pinched, and I might be in the same cell. So I stay quiet, and I continue to listen to the word on the street. By listening, I'm going to find out there's any change of plan, and spread the word through the same circles that got me the first information.
Emails to support is what killed the concurrency at Martins. Luckily those emails only cost us a small part of one bonus, or 600VIPs. Please understand that the result reasonably could have been much, much worse.....

I repeat:
But this "email CS" mentality is not good for bonus-hunters as a whole.

Where do I sign EasyT?
I understand what some people go through with some of these 'Type B' bonuses.
In the end you just have to be able to take risks. Remember there are many other things to do after this one place, so there really is no point to get hung up on it. If you are not sure about something don't email support about it.
a) Finish the requirements they said you need to do. Then wait and see if you get what you wanted.
b) Don't take the risk and find another project to work on.
I love what eeeee [sorry I don't know how many 'e's he uses] said "a baby seal is clubbed anytimes someone contacts CS about these "type B" bonuses.
[Well not EXACTLY like that.. but you get my gist ]

Anyways, how are you guys feeling about the play at PokerDandy?
I'm down like $300+ from some horrible riverings at NL100. I've had to drop to NL50 for the time being (not fun with 1700 vips to go! )
Like what's your experience at each level, what's the best time to play? etc etc...
