Do you have to do the same thing, as w/ Empire vs Party. I just tried and it wouldnt let me set one up. Any ideas?

1)Click on start, then Run. In that window that pops up, type in REGEDIT and click ok.

2)In the Registry Editor window, on the lefthand side, go to these folders :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
CALCULATOR
MODE

In that MODE folder, on the righthand side, there will be a field called UCID. Right-click on UCID and delete.

3)Restart computer

I wouldnt mess with the registry if you think youre gonna mess something up - just sign up on another computer and then login on your main one. It works everytime.

dude but there's nothing risky with deleting this one because it's a trace of what PP left hidden under windows "calculator" registery to keep track of those who has PP on their computer.

I've done it my self, and so did many others on 2+2

Oh and allinlife if Im understanding correctly you get 100 bonus for your first 500 raked hands and then another extra 100 for another 500 raked hands so its a 200 bonus for 1000 hands right.

Yeah man I know its easy and I would do it but its just as easy signing up another computer and the slim chance he accidently deletes other shit Ijust dont think its worth it.

Hey so did you ever get that special extra 100 bonus. I just got my money in neteller so havent gotten to try it yet I just wanted to make sure you got the second hundred. From what I read on 2+2 the management just credits you within a day or something after the second 500 but other than that there is no record of it.

Boondock, the person I talked to said that the second 100 would be 'manual'ly entered after the first 100 is cleared. I just cleared my first 100 as well and will see if they honor that commitment.

And, I dont know if there was a better way to do this but I tried using the 'Free Poker Book and $25' to start, but when I deposited my money I used the 'Shark' Code. I also talked to the same person about that and apparently I cant use both at the same time. But tahts okay, I can buy more books with that $200 bonus than the one they were giving away.

I will let you know If i clear my 2nd bonus, it wont be until Friday or Saturday probably, considering I just cleared my first one after playing around 400 hands tonight... and homework has to be done sometimes

Hm thats odd because I used the Shark code and emailed em the book request thing with my user name and they said they need my name and full address so I sent that back to them and she responded and said this.

This is just a double check so all the books do not come back to us.

So I'm assumming I'm getting the book too. That second bonus just seemed a little weird and I only read about 2 people I think on 2+2 that confirmed it.

Yeah, I received an email very similar to that as well, but that was before I made my deposit. Did you get the free $25 they were supposed to put in the account? I didnt and that was what I questioned her about.

Let me know if you get the free $25 as promised too, otherwise i probably screwed up somewhere

I really have no idea. On 2+2 they said no but then again only 2 people on there that I remember actually got it and they said it was emailed to them after they played their second 500 set of raked hands. I cleared my first hundred about 3 hours after I deposited playing 4 tables but nothing has shown up anywhere about the second 100. Thats why I'm a little hesitant thinking I will ever get it.

And no I never got the 25. Seems Shark erased that.

The easiest fix to your registry if you are not sure about it is to back up your registry to a file then delete the corresponding file.

What Allinlife said will not hurt your computer. But of course if you are afraid back up your registry and you should be fine.

Allinlife,

Is this the registry for the Party Poker that will let me use Empire on my computer as well so I can use both programs on 1 computer with out registering on a different computer or waiting 30 days?

Oh and what is the book?

From Blue skies:
Quote:
Jeffrey, my name is Glen Willows and I am from the promotional/marketing part of PokerNow and regrettably the book you ordered is out of stock. I have four other books you can pick from that are available.

1. Internet Texas Hold'em (by Matthew Hilgar)
2. Bobby Baldwin's Winning Poker Secrets (written by Mike Caro)
3. Small Stakes Hold'em (By David Sklansky)
4. How to Beat Low-Limit 7-Card Stud Poker (by Paul Kammen)

I hope this is not a problem and we are truly sorry that this book is no longer available.
I will throw in a book called "The wacky side of Poker" to make up for this.

Take care
Glen Willows
I just received this and I chose Small Stakes Hold'em by Sklansky because his other book was out of stock.

Maybe this means that the free book offer is still good eh?

Yeah thats actually awesome(assumming you play NL only like me) because I choose his other book not even thinking about really. I just saw skalansky and picked it. It was in when I choose it so I should be getting it shortly. But I looked on amazon and it was written in 89 I think and I dont think it deals much at all with NL holdem which is the only thing I play. I wish I would have picked Caros book instead. But its all good since u get a 200 bonus anyway.

Hell yeah!!!!! I think this is actually the best bonus I have ever gotten on a site. $200, a book, and a free t-shirt all for just 1000 raked hands.

If you dont know about the free tshirt I think you just auto get it and dont have to do anything. On the little thing in the corner I read it was right along with the book. It must just be Large for everyone or something but it comes with the book I think.

How long after you cleared your 2nd set of 500 raked hands did you receive an email about the special bonus?

I know I have played another 500 raked hands, i played 400 on thursday and another 300 between yesterday and today and i have yet to receive an email about it....do you think I should talk to them?

Well first login to your account on the pokernow homepage and click on something thats like "check my extra tournament starting chips" or something like that. I'm sure youll see it. This will tell you exactly how many raked hands that you have. I broke 1000 on friday night sometimes and at 9am on saturday they had written me the email saying that I had an extra 100 in my account. I think you may be just a couple hands shy if you havent heard from em. I'm not in my room right now - im on my downstairs computer but if you have broken 1000 and havent heard from them post on this thread again and I'll get you the ladys email address I have been talking with there. She seems really cool and seems to always be a normal person and not automated responses and I think she would help you out.

Boondock,

I dont see what you are talking about. After I log into the homepage i see:

Personal Identification Number (PIN)
Inter Account Transfer
iGM-Pay
Deposit Options
Your Bonus Account
Change Screen Name
Choose your Secret Question
Cash Out Options
View Account Activity

I clicked on 'your bonus account' and it only told me that i cleared my original bonus.

Any help would be great.

Weird. I log into the pokernow software and then click on the drop down menu in the top right that says "my account" then I click on "go to my account(website)" and then once Im there it has

PIN
InterAccounttransfer
IGM PAY
OTHER DEPOSIT OPTIONS
EARN EXTRA STARTING CHIPS (THIS IS THE ONE YOU CLICK ON)
YOUR Bonus Account
Change screen name
asdas
dasda
asdasd
asda


This is that ladys email address jane at blueskieslimited.com (convert it to the normal name@name.com - I just dont want spam bots spamming the hell our of her so I'm disguising her email) Im sure she would be happy to help you out. She is really nice and told me how many raked hands I had once before I found you could check it on their website with the extra starting chips button.

Try going to the website through that drop menu on the software and see if that works. If not I'd email jane.

Good Luck!!!

I can't find the info about the free book anywhere. Can somebody give me some directions? Is it on the website? Is it found somewhere in the software itself?

A free copy of SSH would be great for me. I want to learn limit.

I'm not sure if they are still doing this. I think they may have ran out of books. The side banner thing about the free book no longer comes up on my software either. On a side note DrNoChance. The Shark code has expired so you wont be able to use that either unless you entered it when you opened your account. On the 2+2 forums it was stated it had expired last friday. This is just assumming they know what they were talking about. You may want to email em and ask em first because Im pretty sure it is no longer valid.

Was that Friday 2 days ago or Friday 10 days ago?

I used mine last tuesday so it depends on what friday you are talking about.

I just used the code this Saturday (10/23) and I did receive the double-bonus and the book/t-shirt.

As for the book/t-shirt, the blueskieslimited lady actually e-mailed me and asked for my poker ID and address so she could send them out to me.

Damn thats awesome. I thought they might not know what they were talking about because now that I think of it they said Friday the 21st which was actually thursday. Once one of those bonus threads gets started tons of people start posting crap about it and you never know if they are telling the truth or not.

Well, I finally got the money into my account. But here's the next great thing:

I only deposited $460 (my entire roll) and so my max bonus was only $92. I got that $92.

Well, they didn't put in $92 into my account for the second bonus, they put in $100 (as if I deposited $500). How sweet is that, someone wasn't paying attention.

FYI - When I signed up for Poker Now I only had $250 available to put in so I could only take advantage of $50 of bonus.

They had told me that after I finished playing 1000 total raked hands (apparently you have to play 1000 total raked hands regardless of the amount of the bonus that you got in order to receive the second bonus) that I would receive a second $50 bonus.

I passed 1000 raked hands there yesterday evening and today I just received an e-mail from them indicating that they had just deposited another $100 of bonus money into my real money account!

SWEET!

I was perusing the 2+2 forums and happened upon the "SHARK" PokerNow bonus code. It turns out (and this didn't even dawn on me until I read through the posts) that that was actually an affiliate code. So basically, anyone who used that code signed up through an affiliate.

Before I go any further, whoever is moderating this forum (Boondock, I think) or Xianti, please read through what I am posting and if you think it needs to be deleted then by all means do so. I am just conveying this information for those of us who ended up using this code previously. I realize that it is affiliate-related so you may deem it necessary to delete. Totally understandable and I couldn't care less as I am simply a user of that bonus code and trying to give info to others who have used it as well.

I happened upon the email address from the 2+2 forums for the guy who's code it is and contacted him. As it turns out anyone who used that code is now eligible for what amounts to a recurring monthly bonus. The details are as follows. This came directly from the email that he responded to me with. It is also listed on his website. He is trying to get in contact with everyone who used the code. I told him that if he is selling names or personal info that would be very uncool and he swore that he was not:

"Here's how it works:

1. Player signs up using Bonus Code: SHARK
2. Player receives signup bonus of 20% up to $100
3. Player clears signup bonus after 5x raked hands
4. Player plays up to 2000 raked hands and receives an additional $50 + a free DVD of their choice.
5. For every additional 1000 raked hands the player receives an additional $25.
6. All bonus money is paid by the 7th of the following month.
7. This offer coinsides with any reload offer that comes from PokerNow
during the month.
8. The number of raked hands reset at the end of each month.
9. The player with the most raked hands in the month of November gets their choice of either a XBOX or PS2 game system.

**NOTE** - ANY previous SHARK code user automatically qualifies for this promotion. To receive this offer, just start at #4 on the list above.

Anyway, there it is. In truth, I feel a little duped by this whole thing. Although I can't complain with the double-bonus, book and shirt that I got. Obviously, if FTR had an affiliate link for PokerNow it would be best to have used that. But, to my knowledge, no such affiliation exists currently.

I have the guy's email and will not list it here unless Xianti says that it is alright to do so. I think that you might be alright not contacting him and still receiving this bonus. However, I am not sure of this.

Again, Moderator-powers-that-be, feel free to delete this post as I was uncertain if it is crossing the line even though I think i am just passing along bonus information here.

Looks good. Thanks for all the info. I have a feeling FTR will become an affiliate here shortly because they have all the info on their homepage now. When I had signed up they didnt even have any public affiliates that could sign up on the site. Looks like they updated that now. They have the 65 per sign up and 20% of rake which I believe are the same as all the other party skins except intertops(gives you $5 lol. you can do refer a friend and get 10x that).

I'm with scgolfer here. I think I played a good 6000 hands on Pokernow, so should be getting $50 + DVD + $100 more now on the 7th? And this is going to go on indefinately? I could easily play 20,000 raked hands in November, that would be an extra $500 in November just for using the "shark" code? That'll almost double my profit from poker if true.

Golfer - I hate to bust your bubble but the guy stated in his e-mail that this offer starts November 1st.

Don't worry though. At the rate you're playing hands you'll probably be around there come the end of November.

Just doing the math, at 24K hands played in a given month that comes out to $600!!!!! Brings up a good point. I wonder if they cap the bonus at some point? Maybe I'll e-mail the guy back and ask him that question.

As for the book/t-shirt, the blueskieslimited lady actually e-mailed me and asked for my poker ID and address so she could send them out to me.
I'd laugh me arse off if I saw any of you wankers donning a tee from there.

Heads up:

I joined PokerNOW, deposited and played for 2 days. I cleared the bonus and cashed out.

I cashed out on October 31st and received an email confirmation stating my cashout would be completed in 3-5 days. I used IGM, and thinking they would be as quick as Party, didn't really think much more of it.

My wife does the checkbook, so I asked her a few days ago if she had received a cashout for that amount. She hadn't. I double-checked the account online and it was not there.

On November 14, I sent an email to support@pokernow.com and never got a reply. Yesterday I sent an email to manager@pokernow.com and was told to contact cashier@pokernow.com

They replied this morning with this:

Quote:

I then received this from cashier@pay-pro.com

Quote:

I do not like having to tell a poker site twice to give me my money. My balance in the PokerNOW client was 0 the whole time also.

Just a heads up.
