I did not know that the french for pomegranate was grenade. Huh. Kind of makes sense, since it can kind of explode and make a big red mess. And I guess that's what grenadine is supposed to taste like?

Anyway, I've also found the UB bonus to be impossible to clear. Since it doesn't expire, I'm going to try and find a bonus elsewhere, and come back to the UB one when I've improved my game. Full Tilt, perhaps? Is anywhere else offering a reload bonus right now?

By the way, bunny, be careful about the rules of raked hands. I noticed that the Intertops one specificed that raked hands were ones where "you were dealt into a hand whose pot was raked". All players in that hand qualified, even ones who folded before the flop and didn't contribute to the pot! So, no need to see lots of flops to clear the bonus quicker.

I don't think you should ever allow the fact that you're trying to clear a bonus enter into your decisions at the table.

Agreed!

As for who is offering a RELOAD right now, MB, you shouldn't care about that. Go open a new account somewhere that you don't have one yet and clear that initial deposit bonus. Then that will be just one more site that you you will able to get a reload bonus when they offer them. By waiting to join a site until they have a reload available, you likely won't be able to get it anyway (unless you clear their initial deposit extremely quickly - but even then, you likely won't qualify for the reload).

I'm not waiting to join sites to find a reload! The problem is that I already have accounts at a bunch of sites, which makes me ineligible for the initial deposit.

I already have accounts at:
PartyPoker
PokerStars
UltimateBet
Intertops
Royal Vegas
(Bugsy's Club - but not sure I ever deposited there)
(Tropical Poker - ditto)

So where do I go next? bonuswhores.com seems to suggest William Hill for my $250 bankroll, but I seem to remember it getting negative rep here.

I wasn't playing back then! Is your offer still on? Doesn't matter, actually - either way I'll sign up tomorrow.

Tonight I have a jam to go to!

Does the "Sticky" thread say the offer is still good? Better yet, does it say anywhere that it's no longer still good?

Yes, it's good, and it's STILL the best deal on the net. Did I mentioned the 0 raked hand requirement???
