Paradise Poker

[GeoffM]

Hey guys, how does this site play? I haven't been on it yet, and would like to sign up and get the 25% bonus. TP, I noticed you don't have an affiliate code for them, is this correct or can you work something out? Oh, how is the traffic for O8B games as compared to UB and Party?

[omahilo]

Ive never played on the site but Ive heard that it has some of the toughest games online... Im sure this is for the higher limits, not sure on the O8/low limit action.

[GeoffM]

Ah, tough or not, not too concerned about the players, just wondering about having a 10 man table to clear the bonus quicker. Low limit players in O8B are dumb on every site IMO, so just trying to get a sense of traffic.

[omahilo]

the traffic at paradise should be pretty good since they were the 1st online poker room. Ive heard the bonus is hard to clear tho... like $10 cleared for every 100 raked hands over .25 or something like that. So it doesnt should very low limit friendly

[Talking Poker]

I just signed up to their affiliate program.. will be adding them in the next few days. Hold off on signing up for them in case I can do a little more than their standard bonus for ya.

[GeoffM]

Phew, thank goodness I checked here first. I do have the itch, but I will hold off a couple of days.

Anyway, signed up for Absolute today and won $13 in under an hour, so about 7 BB for the hour . I love O8B.

[omahilo]

Geoff sign up to pokerroom if you havent already and do that 30% reload bonus, the O8 tables on there are really soft as well.

[GeoffM]

I'll think about it, but I would like to clear my bonus at Absolute first. I have to clear 700 hands, so hopefully I'll have about 500 cleared by the weekend and if I do, then I'll be signing up at Poker Room.

TP, deposited $200 on Absolute last night using your link .

[Talking Poker]

Ok, I haven't had a chance to update my site yet, but here is my afiliate link:


I don't know the fine print yet about what's required for me to get paid (ie, how many hands you need to play and so forth), but Geoff, I know you've signed up through my links at a couple of places now, and it sounds like you'll be trying sometime too - I really appreciate it.

Are there any poker books in particular that you are interested in?

[omahilo]

hey TP... I think I signed up to pokerroom thru you awhile ago... is there a way for you to check and see if I did?

[Talking Poker]

Nope... but I remember you saying you did. If you sign up through me at Paradise as well, I'll take care of you too....

[omahilo]

yeah I dont have a paradise account I dont think so I'll prolly check them out... any idea how hard the bonus is to clear?

[GeoffM]

Looks to be the same as Absolute, 1 raked hand = .25 or more, 100 raked hands = $10 in your account.

Damn I got the serious itch tonight to play.

[Talking Poker]

I know absolutely nothng about the site. Maybe you should be a guinea pig for us

[omahilo]

I will check it out after Im done clearing the pokerroom reload. Keep us informed on what the paradise requirements are for us and for you so we get get the bonus done and that little extra gift... lol

First Purchase Bonus Information

Paradise Poker is pleased to give a 25% Deposit BONUS to every new player on their first purchase! Four easy steps:
Promotion Details and Disclaimer:

Maximum bonus is $50. The Bonus Amount will automatically be added to your Pending Bonus Credit account where it will be held and automatically released to your cash account based on the following easy requirements: For each raked game (minimum rake of $0.25) you play you will receive 1 point and at 100 points we will move $10 from your Pending Bonus Credit account to your cash account.

In the case of single table tournaments players will earn 1 point for every dollar paid in tournament fees. For example, in a $50 + $5 fee tournament, a player will be awarded 5 points. For 1-on-1 tournaments with less than a $1 fee, players will still get 1 point. In the case of multi-table tournaments players will earn points equal to 10% of the value of their buy-in; fractional points will always be rounded up. For example, in the case of a $10 tournament players will earn 1 point while in the case of a $15 tournament players will earn 1.5 points, with this always being rounded up to an even 2 points.

You can see your points total and bonus amounts at the Paradise Cashier screen. You will continue to collect points until you have received 100% of your Bonus money. This offer is only valid for new users who have not previously made a deposit or claimed another promotion. You are only allowed one active account.

[omahilo]

thats not bad... 500 raked hands at .5/1 NL basically.

[Talking Poker]

Right, and I'm sure by the time you earn that, I'll be getting paid for you and can probably kick some cash your way or a book or something... I don't wantto go on record saying anything, because sometimes that sort of thing is against the terms (I haven't checked). But you know I'll take care of you.

[GeoffM]

TP, any luck getting this affiliate code up and running for Paradise? My bonus from Absolute is almost complete and I need a new piece of ass to pimp me.

[Tony Cheval]

Likewise, I got Interpoker money coming back that needs a new home.

[Talking Poker]

Yeah... scroll up. I posted it in this thread for you last week.

[GeoffM]

LMAO, sorry about that, been pre-occupied the last week or 2.

Should be signing up tonight...now about that kickback

[Talking Poker]

Once you sign up..... name it. Within reason

[GeoffM]

Ok, I don't know how much you get though. Is it a rakeback thing or something. What I will be doing is depositing $200 and getting the 25% bonus, but I will tell you in advance that I will be getting my money out right after. From now on I'll only be playing poker when a re-load is involved or a site I haven't already slept with comes to mind. Just more profitable that way. Anyway, I don't know, maybe some cash on Stars so I don't have to deposit when I get around to playing a holdem tourney with you guys.

[Talking Poker]

For me to get paid anything, I believe you need to make at least a $50 deposit and play at least 250 raked hands. Do that and (because you've been so supportive in the past - this offer isn't for everyone), I'll put you in the next three TPFIs - $33 in your Stars account.

Looks like your $50 bonus just turned into $88

For anyone else interested, sign up through my link, meet the minimum requirements above, and I'll put you in the next TPFI - $11 in your Stars account:
