Sunpoker Monthly Bonus

This bonus/information is for those of you who can still play on the Cryptologic sites, ie: non-us poker players.

If you had uncleared Monthly bonus from last month or the last three months now is a great time to  clear that bonus.  Sunpoker has recently changed the format of the monthly bonus from ‘Bonus’ to ‘Reward’.  This change left the uncleared monthly bonus (under the ‘bonus’ category) while adding the ‘reward’ bonus.

Now when you’re clearing the bonus you actually clear both bonuses at the same time.  Therefore, instead of getting $1 for every 5 MPP’s it’s actually $2 for every 5 MPP’s.  A very very good clearance rate!

Neteller Irony

Since my last post on Neteller and Titan Poker something very ironic (or lucky) happened.   I received an email from Neteller saying that I won the “Win the World” draw.

$100 cash, applied directly to my account today.  I thought it was a huge scam at first and was freaked that my money in Neteller was gone or something.   I logged on,  boom,  100 hundred richer!       Funny thing is I don’t even remember entering the contest.     I guess it was some sort of automatic promotion or something.

Cashout.

Party Poker Bonus & No Neteller

For all those of you who are still able to play at Party Poker.  Check your email or partypoker account because they released a reload bonus on Monday.  Typically these are a free $100 for very limited play so definitely worth placing some money in party poker to take advantage of it.

Second of all, as I logged into Titan Poker last night I notice that Neteller wasn’t an option anymore.   You can’t deposit or withdrawl using Neteller and must choose a different option.  Not exactly a huge problem but a headache nonetheless.  Not exactly sure about this move by Titan Poker but i’m wondering if they know something that we don’t.

Is our money still safe in Neteller?   I’d say venture to say yes as they’re a fairly reputable company.  However, stranger things have happened.   Either way, I don’t keep large sums of money anywhere just to be safe.  Just a word of warning.

Cryptologic My Poker Points (MPP’s)

An important consideration before takling any bonus is the amount of time it’ll take to complete. The Cryptologic sites (Interpoker, Sunpoker, Playboy Poker, PokerPlex, etc.) all deal with a points system name MPP’s. The usual conversion rate depending on which bonus is being completed is 5 MPP’s per $1. So a $100 bonus takes 500 MPP’s.

MPP’s are accumulated

• 1MPP for a dollar rake
• .25 MPP for anything less then a dollar rake

The question is how many hours would 500 MPP’s take?
After playing many many hours playing at the Crypto’s I’ve determined an approximate conversion ratio. These are all at the Fixed Limit tables which tend have weak-tight players.

• 1/2 Full ring (10 players) -> 15 MPP/table/hour
• 1/2 6-max -> 18 MPP/table/hour
• 2/4 Full ring (10 players) -> 25 MPP/table/hour
• 2/4 6-max -> 30 MPP/table/hour

Obviously these ratios are dependant on the type of players at the table and the speed of play. However, these what i’ve observed. If you’re playing more then one table at a time multiply by the number of tables.

Support Poker Players Alliance get Bonus!

Full Tilt Poker and Poker Players Alliance have teamed up for a new bonus promotion. The promotion requires you to sign-up as a Poker Players Alliance (PPA) member (or already be a member) and provide a donation. Full tilt will then credit your account with a bonus depending on the amount of the donation.

• $ 20 donation -> $ 50 bonus

• $ 100 donation -> $ 200 bonus
• $ 1000 donation -> $ 1000 bonus

The PPA is an organization with the purpose to get Online Poker exempt from the UIGEA. The organization is funded through it’s members donations and the more people that sign-up the more influence the organization may have. Either way a bonus for a donation is a good deal! Hurry promotion ends March 5th, 2007.

Absolute Poker Points for Cash

Absolute poker has recently initiated a points for cash policy. If you have lots of those ARP (Absolute Reward Points) because the ‘store’ was terrible. Then now is a great time for you to change them in for cold hard cash.

Depending on what level of VIP player you are depends on the amount of money and conversion ratio. The conversion ratio varies from $0.007 per ARP to $0.015 / ARP. Now’s a good time to take those ARP’s and make a bit of money.
