Never played on Paradise before but I read that their sign-up bonus is very easy to clear and I never scoff at a $150 bonus. I know that traffic might be low when I can play but how is the opposition there? Also is it really as pretty as everyone says

i heard this too, easy to clear that is. around peak times it has 4-6 100Nl tables on the go says poker scout.

just deposit and check for me

what im learning from whoring is that traffic is almost the most important factor

I think I put some money on there as the bonus apparently never expires. But then I head rumours that Paradise is merging with the Boss Network. We'll see.

Paradise is a joke. You will not be happy there until they merge.

Yeah, I put some cash on there for the bonus and I absolutely hate the site.

* Crappy Interface and graphics
* PITA to get hand histories, can't just click on the last game number for instance to see what just happened
* No HUD support that I can find
* Weird number of players per table (eg 5-max and 10 players for FR)

I'll be glad when I can leave it tbh

Thanks for the replies. Will not go to Paradise. Have decided to use the Towergaming (Ongame) sign-up bonus of $200 at 5x. That's pretty good on that network.

Good choice.

I am on tower as well.
Unlimited $200 bonuses that clear at 7x.

However, they recently changed their point structure to clear differently. You get more points for every dollar of rake but it's only for the hands that you contribute towards.

Yeah thanks I noticed. As soon as I played LAGG again the points accumulated much quicker. As long as the bonuses are 7x or less, Ongame is still a good whoring network.

But on Paradise you can buy a drink and keep it by the table! More seriously, GT+ supports paradise.
