Default 1000% bonus at Gamesgrid

For those of you who like to bonus-whore, I found this site the other day. It just opened for poker like 5 days ago, but apparently gamesgrid has been a reputable online backgammon server for some years now. The 1000% bonus is no joke, it's one of those rakeback-type bonuses, but it looks to be a good bit easier to clear than UB. Since this is the first week that it's been open, there are almost no players online, so I hope some of ya'll will get on there. You get a year to clear the bonus and get paid in $5 increments, so hopefully soon there will be enough players to make this worth it. Also, they offer this Very Frequent players program where if you play 10 table hours a week, they pay you something like 3 big blinds per hour of play (not big bets). There's a thread over at 2+2 about it too if anybody wants some verification


Also, the best potential deal here is for TP, since he seems to be the affiliate around here. You get 25% of the net rake FOR LIFE for anybody that you refer (TP if you want to sign up you can put johnp158 as the person who referred you )

Anywho, I hope that some people open accounts on this site so there will be some games worth playing.

edit: PS: Max deposit is 500, so max bonus is 5000

Sounds ok, and yes, it would be wise for me to get in on the ground floor but I have trouble recommending brand new sites with 0 players... Too many have failed in the past, screwing over everyone who deposited.

I didn't say I wasn't getting in.... only that I hadn't looked at it yet, and hesitate to recommend start up sites.

I downloaded it to see what was up.

The softward looks fine, but NO PLAYERS. One 1/2 game and one 2/4 game. Nobody on 3/6. There was a $200 NL game and some tourneys.

Not gonna waste my time.

Yeah I actually found one full 1/2 table last night, I think I'll be doing one window of gamesgrid while I play another table at UB or whatever else I'm playing. Just figured I might as well go ahead and get in on it in case they do build up a player base within the next year.

Thought about that, but you'll never clear that bonus one-tabling. The full tables I saw were tight too.

Like TP said, give it a few months and we'll see what happens.

Pshabi, don't bitch , at least on any site there are always hold'em games to sit at. How do you think us O8B players feel? I download True Poker and there isn't one player playing it, but tables full of hold'em.

Super tight so far. I think it's just people from a few forums like this one, not many (any?) fish have found this one yet.

Start posting on RGP and 2+2, and then they'll come out to play.

yeah since RGP is already so bad I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to spam the hell out of them

It should be noted that they give you a full YEAR to earn those points (365 days). Apparently the guy doing the TPTK O8 tournament series gave them the thumbsup, got a withdrawal without trouble, if you can set something up with them I'll go for it.

Yeah I withdrew some the other day, appeared within a couple hours in my neteller account. They seem to be getting more players each day, and it the 1000% bonus is almost too good to pass up. You all should at least sign up and deposit so you can come back in a few months and play.

I tried signing up to check it out. So far, not so good:

-They never sent me a confirmation email.
-Their software seems to be somehow intermingled with Internet Explorer, which is a huge security risk, IMO.
-I just emailed support. Let's see how long it takes to get a reply.

Well, I signed up... and so far, I'm very UNimpressed.

If you are gonna try it anyway though, feel free to use "TalkingPoker" as the person who half-heartedly referred you

So just use the referral in their setup, I take it? I'm gonna wait a bit longer after hearing your report.

I'm waiting for funds to hit my Netteller account (makes me realize how much I appreciate Party's instant IGM-Pay), but am thinking about giving it a try. I'd appreciate any additional feedback on the site from anyone registered already. Anybody cashed out yet?

I'll asume you mean on the unimpressed part, and not the "TalkingPoker" referral part.

-I never got a confirmation email (yes, I checked my SPAM filter).
-There site crashed on me while I was trying to log in once.
-The DID reply to my customer service "lost password" email, but it took a number of hours.
-There are hardly any games running... certainly none for limits I like.
-Their affiliate program IS their Refer-A-Friend program

Sign up and see for yourself. Set up your account, and if the site grows someday, great. If not, nothing lost other than a few minutes of your time.
