brael Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Re: Poker.co.uk version of Dollar Up just got the very same thing right now.... Interesting sign up bonus too in the T & C's Same thing crossed my mind. I take it the new player $100.00 bonus is the same as SO's? Add to that the other bonus that's released at $1 for every $2 of rake then it looks quite attractive. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Re: Poker.co.uk version of Dollar Up Worth noting as well, they have a list of "banned" countries, and Hungary is on the list :ok (as is the UK).... Of course Hungarian players on other Boss Sites will still be seen at the table, but poker.co.uk exclusive events should have no Hungarians :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robilaruk Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Re: Poker.co.uk version of Dollar Up just a quick question - as an affiliate how much do we get for me signing up through the banner? is it a one off or is it based on cash wagered/rake taken - just interested And where does the money go? is this what pays for the racing days out and stuff? (just want to make sure I get my fair share of the spoils! LOL) Damo :cheers pm is fine :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: Poker.co.uk version of Dollar Up Hey Pro, it all depends how the question is asked ;) just a quick question - as an affiliate how much do we get for me signing up through the banner? is it a one off or is it based on cash wagered/rake taken - just interested And where does the money go? is this what pays for the racing days out and stuff? (just want to make sure I get my fair share of the spoils! LOL) Damo :cheers pm is fine :) Damo ..... I haven't read the details, however from the banner, it looks to be the same as the deal you mentioned ..... i.e. a $100 bonus after x raked hands ... I suspect it is structured the same as the deal you mentioned.... What happens with the income for PL? Well first of all, there are a lot of conditions attached to any bonus for PL - and not as many are generated as you might think ..... for example Pitbull Poker when the Pro asked the question didn't generate anyone who met the conditions to get any income for PL (the last time I checked), despite the huge interest and a fair number of people signing up through the banner. The conditions are no secret and usually freely available on the site if you wish to view it. So what happens to any funds generated? Well it goes into central PL funds which then go to pay for things like Sandown, as well as web hosting fees. As I've said before though - at the moment the Poker forum isn't generating any income for PL ..... when(if!) it is I hope that we will be able to persuade Paul to release some for Poker events (online and offline) - but that's probably a way off yet (seeing how it's going so far!!) Is it a bounty or percentage? It can be either or both and varies from site to site .... again though - the info is usually freely available on the site if you are interested. EDIT Just to add - there is no compulsion on anyone to use PL links ..... you can choose to use the links here, use someoone elses links, or use no links .... if you use PL links then the poker room supports PL, if you use someoone elses links then the poker room supports someoone else, if you use noones links, then the poker room supports noone (but don't give you any extra!!) - the choice is yours ......

ThePro19 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: Poker.co.uk version of Dollar Up Didn't know whether to put this here or on the Cheating thread. Anyway, was just looking at the poker.co.uk website and found this... If management suspects such an activity, the player(s) accused will be investigated. Players found to have been, or reasonably suspected of cheating in any form, will have their account privileges terminated throughout Boss Media’s casinos indefinitely. Using the standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt" to indicate cheating, Poker.co.uk has the right to confiscate any funds won while cheating. Confiscated funds will be distributed to victim players. Boss Media/Poker.co.uk will never keep confiscated funds. I wonder if the $180k (or was it $140k) was distributed amongst the other players? :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePro19 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: Poker.co.uk version of Dollar Up Ok, just been looking at the banking details. Poker.co.uk uses WebDollar. Had experience of them before, I think it was on Gala Poker... another Boss Media site. Anyway, they deal in dollars. That's not a problem, but what is a problem is that they have one exchange rate for depositing and another one for withdrawing. Can't rememeber the exact rates, but I think I deposited £20, played one hand at a cash table (required to get into a freeroll... which was subsequently cancelled!) and won about $3. When I came to withdraw all that was in there was £20.19. That that is some rip-off! Further, I wrote an email to WebDollar asking them to explain this, and to this day I still haven't had a reply. I know most of the PL'ers like the Boss Media setup, but I personally wouldn't... I'll re-phrase... WON'T deposit to WebDollar. I've already asked the question in another thread, but I don't know if anyone has looked any further into it... what about the iPoker network sites for the new PL home? The likes of Betfred, Playgate, CDPoker, Titan. Ever since I found £1.18 in my playgate account over a week ago, I have been playing $1 6-player turbos there. For such small stakes, most of the games are generally of pretty good quality. And they do have a number of 'guaranteed' tourneys for little cost, i.e. $1, $2, $5 etc. Haven't looked into despositing and withdrawing rules yet, but I'd be grateful if someone else would have a look at the site(s) to see if it would be an alternative.

robilaruk Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: Poker.co.uk version of Dollar Up you have the option to deposit in sterling - that way you do not get charged for the exchange rate - so when you sign up your webdollar account it is sorted I haven't had a problem when I have done it like this Damo Ok, just been looking at the banking details.

[/quote'] No different really from buying/selling currency anywhere else tbh. Banks, for example, will always buy at one rate and sell at another so that they make some profit to cover the costs and fluctuations of exchange rates. If you bought USD then decided a split second later you didn't want it you would end up losing out. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think I had the option when I did it through Gala Poker. Or do I need to go straight into WebDollar and do it there rather than through the poker room? And, Brael, yes I know banks have different exchange rates for currency. But 1) that's not something I do every day - I could with poker!, and 2) many sites DON'T charge, so I prefer to use those.

I assume that is an english site, but can't be sure. Anyway, I defintiely changed it to £'s and deposited £20... was equivalent to about $33. Played one hand on cash table, won about $3 and then withdrew everything... for a profit of 19p. It's not bank charges, they use a diffeent exchange rate for depositing and withdrawing... it does actually say this when you look further into it. If I hadn't have done it almost immediately and knew that $3 is a damn sight more than 19p, I wouldn't have noiticed. One thing is for sure... I wouldn't want to deposit £100 and then withdraw unless I have made a pretty big profit... which for me in online poker is generally unthinkable. Damo - could you try this for me please... Start the withdrawal process for £120 and see what it equates to in dollars (or $203 and see £'s equivalent). You can then abandon the process.

Start the withdrawal process for £120 and see what it equates to in dollars (or $203 and see £'s equivalent). You can then abandon the process. I made a post on a similar matter a couple of days ago: This week I withdrew $100 from my poker.com sit and go winnings to my Neteller account and received £56.18 which is 1.77 The same day I deposited $50 at another site and Neteller charged £29.27 which is a rate of 1.71. Another thing which I find confusing is that at Blue Square I have won $92. I have never deposited but my account is in Pounds sterling and shows £52.08. My amount available in dollars is now $90.94, I assume the dollar has gone up in value!!! :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
