Umm hi I am new. Question is if I deposit $500 to get there 50% bonus and then I withdraw $400 will I still get the $250 bonus? Basicly I can afford to put in $100 which earns me $50, but it is financially possible for me to put in $500 in order to get $250 but I would have to withdraw $400 because I cant offered to gamble $500. And as I understand it you get bonus money from them even in little parts. Is that correct? Like you can get portions of points and then they release portions of dollars into your account, right?
This is what their site says:
Unless otherwise specified, bonuses are credited to player accounts as Bonus Dollars. Bonus dollars can be converted to real money just by playing on our site. For every 10 UltimatePoints you earn at our $.25/$.50 tables or higher, your account will be credited with $1 from your bonus dollars, which you can then play or withdraw. (Bonus dollars can also be earned back in increments of less than $1. So if you earn 8 points during a play session, your real money account will be credited with $.80 from your pending bonus dollars account) You can see how many pending bonus dollars you have pending by clicking on the "My Account" button in the game. Pending bonus dollars are listed under your real money account information.
So it sounds like it would take my a heck of a long time (2500 hours) at the money tables to get all $250.

the 50% is only to a max of $50. the 20% in to a max of $100. so if you deposit 500 you'll only get 100 in bonus. UB's clearing requirements are pretty rough compared to other sites. expect to play here for a week or two before you can clear it.

A maximum of $250 Bonus Dollars will be credited to your account and is available only to players brand new to UltimateBet who do not have a prior account with us. Initial deposit must be between $50 and $500.
But the question is if I deposit it and then withdraw is that going to stay there.

The bonus will not go away if you withdraw. However, depending on the stakes you are going to play, you may want to leave more than $100 in there.

I could see this turning into posting someone elses referral link for a special bonus or something so if thats where its it at then please dont post it. I'm going to bed and I dont want to wake up to see that someone has been banned or bitched at by someone other than me lol. If you are going to sign up for ultimate bet please do it through this thread so the proper people get credit. http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=505

Like I said I'm starting out so I will be playing .10/.25 and really I dont want to lose more than $100 so I dont want to keep more than that in my account. So it sounds like I can deposit $500 to get the max bonus and then withdraw immediately and still keep the bonus. Sweet thanks.
Oh and up above you made it sound like you get the whole bonus in one lump. Is that right? Hope not because I dont know if $100 will last long enough to clear 2500 hours.

You will never get a bonus playing .10/.25 because they only award points for hands played at .25/.50 and up.

It appears you are right. They award points for play money or anything but the points dont count so thats real nice. Oh well I'll still unlock them once I move up.
