[Mirabelle Poker] Free $10 - SECOND THREAD
 

Here is a live chat conversation I had with the great support team over at Mirabelle. I STILL don't have my question answered.

Support: Hello, this is Ryan with Powernetwork support. How may I help you?
Aequitas58: Hello Ryan.
Support: hello
Aequitas58: How do I accumulate player points?
Aequitas58: Hello?
Support: by playing in real money hands
Support: and tournaments
Support: Is there anything else I can help you with today?
Aequitas58: That's what I thought. But, I've been playing for the past 30 minutes, and I haven't accumulated any.
Aequitas58: What limit do I have to play at?
Support: one moment
Aequitas58: I looked on the website and I can't find anything about POINTS.
Aequitas58: Does the pot have to be above $20 or something?
Aequitas58: Hello?
Support: points are not put into your account until around 1am server time
Aequitas58: Server time? Where are you located?
Aequitas58: And, in the meantime, can you tell me how many points I have just accumulated? My screenname is: Aequitas58.
Support: I cant check to see how many points you have accumulated, because it hasnt been posted yet
Aequitas58: OK. Where are the servers located? What time zone? What ... hemisphere?
Aequitas58: It helps me out.
Support: the server time is located at the top of the lobby screen
Aequitas58: No Ryan - I think that's MY time... unless you are located on the East Coast in the USA.
Support: are you est time
Aequitas58: Yes.
Aequitas58: Are you?
Support: no
Aequitas58: I didn't know ANY poker servers were hosted in the United States, let alone the East Coast.
Support: the server is in est time
Aequitas58: Ok. Well, whatever. Thanks for your help.
Support: Is there anything else I can help you with today?
Aequitas58: Nah.

i signed up to see if i would get the free ten bucks, about 12 hours ago, and i still dont have it. I asked support initially how long it would take, they said under an hour. 6 hours later or so i asked again how long it would take, and they said 48 hours....around this time there were about 300 people playing on the site....lets just say I am not expecting much out of this venture

For all the effort you guys put into chasing $10 around, you could have spent that time playing at a real poker site and earned a lot more than that...

You know, I was thinking the same thing. Either that or they could have put up 250 posts and got $25 from you :D :p .

yeah I signed up over 10 hrs ago and still have nothing, guess we'll see what happens.

I just wanted to see it happen. Besides, it's fun - especially if I'm able to turn it into a profit.

My $10 is now $27, having since played two half-hour sessions of $.10/$.25 NL. The players are terrible.

I can't figure out the point system yet.

Formula reaveled
 

I made a concerted effort that my 200th post would not be about Mirabella. Now that that is behind me …

Yeah, I was on WPoker (skin of the same network as Mirabelle) and I was up almost $10 within the first 40 minutes at .05/.10 LIMIT!

Unfortunetly, I had to go out for a bit, so I logged off dumbfounded at the hands people were calling me down with (J high with capped betting on all rounds, overcards, etc... :D ). Later I remembered this $10 free offer and it all made sense, there is a bunch of free money players throwing it away.....logged back in as soon as I got home to get another $4 in 1 hour :) :) Would have played all night, but table tightened up around 11PM.

I went to sign up last night but when I downloaded the software and went to open up an account, it said I already had an account there. I put in the password that I normally use for my poker sites and there was my account. The weird thing is I had never signed up at Mirabelle before. I had signed up previously at WPoker so I'm wondering if that is where this account came from. Also, I thought the offer was that all existing players would get $10 as well but my account has no money in it. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Yep, this is the case, did the same thing. WPoker account = Mirabelle account

I talked to support and they said I could not get the $10 :(

Thanks for the info - Damn now I'll have to figure out some other way to pay for my pizza tonight. LOL

Keep getting lucky after mistakenly betting the wrong amount, and you'll be able to eat pizza every night for the rest of your life. :)

Yes - LOL. You have no idea how hard I was rooting for everyone to fold!

well I finally got my money on mirabelle... better try to make the wait worth it but doubling this up.
