I left them as soon as I cleared my bonus and I felt as though they ripped me off by not giving me my point converting money.

They more or less sent me same letter. I think if you profit while playing there they remove your extra bonus points. In their letter to me, it said....since I was earning a bonus already and had tripled my deposit, the extra bonus didn't apply to me. Total BS, is you ask me.

So they basically want good players who produce rake to leave? Sounds like a great business decision. I would consider my account closed there too.

Seems that's what they're doing, but not realizing it. They don't want to give their bonus points which are converted to real money to players already making money. They want to give them to those "losing players" as an incentive to stay and keep playing.

AT least sjak got some money out of it, even if it was for a short time. I received nothing. Had hundreds of points, but wasn't allowed to convert them to money.

Hundreds of points equals what? Cents? Wouldn't 1000 points = $1, according to what was written above? Big freaking deal.

sjay - If I were you, I'd leave. I know there are tons of fish at Pacific (which is obviously what they are trying to do by rewarding the bad players and punishing the good players), but I'd leave based on principle. I'm sure you generate MUCH more rake for them than they were paying you in bonus money, so take your business elsewhere. Party (for example) has tons of fish and very profitable limit games. PM pshabi and see if he can hook you up.

Just went to check my points. It was a few hundred when I started but when I ended and cleared my bonus, I was up to exactly .....9486. Not a big deal of money to convert, but if they promote it why shouldn't I be allowed to receive it?

ps. to TalkingPoker: Ninety four hundred? or Nine thousand 4 hundred... Still not much but it's $9 and it's mine.

Good luck with that.

BTW, 3,000,000 is 30,000 hundreds, but normal people would refer to that as "millions," and not "hundreds."

Oh lordy, you don't say hundreds to refer to millions. LOL

It works (normally) well up until thousands.
