$25, Are you fucking kidding me. I've played on many sites, many of which offer me reload bonuses. Many sites are still offering first deposit bonuses in the $100's of dollars. I have offers from Party poker, ultimatebet and Absolute, not to mention three cryptologic skins offering reloads of anywhere between $150 and $500 match bonuses.

Please remove me from your welfare email list. When you have a significant offer for me you may email me again.

Thank you.

P.S. $25 would barely cover the conversion fees of depositing US dollars into your site. You may want to rethink your marketing strategy.

Paradise Poker is all but dead. I'm surprised they can even afford to offer $25.

I logged on there the other day, at around 4:00 in the afternoon and there were't even 2 full tables of $25NL going. They are in trouble, you might as well remove yourself from their mailing list (you can do that in an option in their client).

Yea probably wasn't the best day for me to receive the email. But you have to admit, that is an horrendous offer. Do they not see the problem with offering canadians such little money. We can still, for now, play anywhere. And only a moron would think this is good. Never mind a marketing department.

Yeah, harsh. This made me upset, like someone torturing an old dog.

I tore them a new one during their last "bonus" adventure. I had $80 in bonus money that they changed the requirements on when they put $5000 in bonus money in everyone's accounts.

They are going out. I would say in the next few months.

shame about dise. I think the 25 was a crappy offer but you were a 'little' harsh.
Saying that, dise is dead i agree. I never understood how they had 15k players and didnt upgrade the software, HHs and other problems they had.
If theyd done that 6months before the US saga started they may have put themselves in a position to accept US players and challenge a site like stars.
Such a waste
