Who wants a(nother) free $50???

[Talking Poker]

This is correct. Everyone who takes advantage of this this month will be entered in the $300 freeroll on October 6th.

Only a few signed up so far, with a bunch more people saying they will. I'm confident we'll reach the 15 minimum.

Also, so far, the people that have been signing up have told me they have been getting ANOTHER $10 from support for making their first deposit within 24 hours. Something like that.

See note above. This offer is on hold, effective immediately. I'll post more when I learn more.

Bummer... I was just about to head there and get started. Let us know the status of this when you can TP. Thanks.

[Talking Poker]

Will do.... Hope to have things worked out tomorrow. I'll probably still be able to offer you guys some sort of "can't lose" deal, but it might not be $50 any more. Because my players are "unprofitable" (not exactly a big surprise), they cut my commission. I'll get this sorted out in the next day or two...

[BrianSwa]

who the hell cares if we are profitable or not they get there rake if we win or lose. Ok so we lose and deposit again and they get more rake, this I just dont get at all. I really hate the skin so the only reason I deposited there was to get the $50 free on pokerstars but I understand if you cant give it and I know you will take care of us you have never screwed anyone before and I know you wont now tp.

Um............ You are missing the point completely. They don't care if you are profitable as in if you win or lose - they care if you are profitable to them. So, if the "rake" you generate is, say, 10% of the amount of money they pay me for you playing there (or even 90% for that matter), they are losing money on you. Hence, they are cutting my commission.

If you look at the part of your comment that I bolded, that is exactly why this happened. It's not your fault (or anyone else's), but that's the point. Too many people were depositing, collecting the money from me, and leaving without playing there enough to make this a good deal for THEM too.

I WILL honor ALL the signups made up until the time I posted the notice this morning. I will also work out some sort of deal for everyone else in the next day or two... It just might not be $50 any more. It won't be tons less, but it will probably be less.

Anbd we're still on for the freeroll, regardless.
