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!

$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.

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.

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.

• $ 20 donation -> $ 50 bonus
• $ 40 donation -> $ 100 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.

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.
