Yup. Agreed.

I'm participating in this thread. And will likely be headed over to Lock/Cake because I know they are going to be cranking up their promos to keep their players (and try to grab more) when they leave Merge.


Attention Merge: There might actually be a little competition for your little, complacent monopoly now. Might want to step it up. I'm not really in love with Lock nor Cake and would prefer to not end up playing there. But the only way that's going to happen is if you can give me a reason to stay with Merge.

It's clear that RPM is trying to do the best they can for their players and that you guys are holding them back. You should probably stop doing that.

oh ok, just wanted to clarify that Wednesday is simply play 4k hands to get $11, and that the rest is meaningless

Just a little more complaining, the bonus clearing rates are ridiculously high. Ok, I'm not really a high volume player, I only play about 20-30 FR sng's a day. I am currently clearing my first deposit bonus, and after 2 and a half months I'm only at 11%.
$75 rake to clear $10 bonus?? It's only $50 on 888, $30 on Stars and $22.22 on Hollywoodpoker.

We are about half way through the month and I'm guessing they are starting to put the finishing touches on next months promos. I'm not sure they are going to mess with the first time deposit bonus clearance rate, but the June monthly promos could surely have a better clearnance rate. And as the monthly bonus offerings change every month if it is later deemed to good a deal they can simply not offer it again.

30 VIP per $1 Bonus clearance on June monthly promos for the win !

The bonus clear rates are set by Merge. RPM is at the lowest clear rate allowed by Merge. Now they could do it so they clear at $2 increments instead of $10. That would be better.

Yeah, there is zero chance they adjust the bonus-clear rate. they aren't allowed to.

Def agree with MB on this one. Merge bonuses are very hard to clear for micro players like myself. I received the 1500 bonus through overdrive promotion and I cleared 30 of it before it expired.

It's entirely possible that RPM's hands are being tied by merge in regards to promos, but just wanted to refute the claims by some that this months promos are all of a sudden great for micro players. Tbh pleasing everybody at the same time would be extremely difficult but decreasing the value every successive month doesnt help.

Clearing only $30 of a $1,500 bonus before it expired is what I suspect happens to a lot of first time deposit bonuses and monthly bonuses too. If the clearance rate can't be changed then we as players need to be coming up with additional promo ideas. Players need to be doing more than just giving a thumbs ups or down. Poaching ideas from other poker sites is fine, it isn't just about re-inventing the wheel. I just woke up (yeah yeah I know it's noon) but I'll think about other promos ideas.

I really don't understand what they're trying to accomplish with their promos. It seems like they're just guessing every month. It's going to get much worse when Lock leaves imo

I hope for the small chance it gets better on the logic that they need to compete. But Merge seems to be really tying their hands. Crossing fingers that the competition ends up being a good thing.

Double points promos in the VIP program were close to the main reason I ever signed up at the skin in the first place.

Right now I'm at 35% effective contriuted rakeback. That's 22% VIP + 13% bonus clearing. That's pretty meh. And the BBJ drop sucks so I play lower than those stakes typically. I'll show up a little but definitely looking for better. Software is the only thing they have going for them.

On the RPM webpage, the promo pages say...- All promotions from Saturday to Friday are processed on the following Saturday of each week.

I have chatted with support, but not received my bonus money. I have e-mail RPMJon but have not received my bonus money. I have e-mailed manager@rpm but not received my bonus money. I have received e-mails from both RPMJon and RPMSeth but what I haven't received is my ****ing bonus money. WTF.

RPMJon in this thread if you want to use the phrase "immediately credit", you might want to first understand what it means.

Oh yeah not everyone read 2+2, so saying here that it is credited at end of montrh doesn't trump what the web page says.

Upon speaking to you in live chat your bonus has been credited. I have updated the terms and conditions to reflect what has been posted in this thread. I apologize if this caused any confusion or inconvenience.

just to confirm on 2p2... i chatted with you one day about the bonuses in this month. and you told me that if i earn more than one $200 bonus, at the end of the month i can request that you make each $200 bonus separate and you dont have to stack them

That is correct.

I miss double VIP points ! bring them next month!!! maybe not everyday but at least 2 or 3
