Basically I want to try minted first with a minimal amount of $ before I decide if I want to deposit and play there for real.

If you’re set up with a rakeback account, you will continue to receive rakeback even when you fund your account using an I.A.T.

You will still be entitled to a 1st deposit bonus when you deposit.

You can still get a 1st deposit bonus.

But the "500% up to $1,000"? Does this mean I could deposit $200 and get a $1,000 (500% of $200) bonus? This seems.... too awesome?


And the reload bonus of "444% up to $444"? Could I deposit $100 and get a $444 (444% of $100) bonus?

Sorry if this is super basic but I'm lolbad at the maths. Any help would be appreciated.

Your math is all correct. See release rates below for comparisons - the bigger the bonus %, the harder it is to clear it.

So if you only play like an hour/90 minutes a day at the micros at 1/2 tables, you're going to have a lot of trouble clearing these, and should go for one of the lower percentages. But if volume/multitabling skillz is not an issue for you, go for the 500%. You'll definitely want to calculate it out first how much you could clear at each rate before you decide on one, though. I wasn't able to find the details of the clear rate for each bonus though, so if someone could post them for Fr1day, it would surely be appreciated.

First deposit bonuses:

100% bonus up to $400; rate x40 ($4 rake per bonus$); clears in 10 parts.
(For $100 deposit: $100 bonus; total rake $400 to complete; $10 released per $40 rake.)
(For $400 deposit: $400 max bonus; total rake $1600 to complete; $40 released per $160 rake.)

150% bonus up to $1500; rate x50 ($5 rake per bonus$); clears in 6 parts.
(For $100 deposit: $150 bonus; total rake $750 to complete; $25 released per $125 rake.)
(For $1000 deposit; $1500 max bonus; total rake $7500 to complete; $250 released per $1250 rake.)

250% bonus up to $2500; rate x60 ($6 rake per bonus$); clears in 4 parts.
(For $100 deposit: $250 bonus; total rake $1500 to complete; $62.50 released per $375 in rake.)
(For $1000 deposit: $2500 max bonus; total rake $15000 to complete; $625 released per $3750 in rake.)

500% bonus up to $1000; rate x70 ($7 rake per bonus$); clears in 10 parts.
(For $100 deposit: $500 bonus; total rake $3500 to complete; $50 released per $350 in rake.)
(For $200 deposit: $1000 max bonus; total rake $7000 to complete; $100 released per $700 in rake.)

IIRC, 60 days to clear any of these first deposit bonuses above.

444% reload bonus up to $444; rate x44 ($4.40 rake per bonus$); clears in 4 parts; 44 days to clear.
(For $100 reload: $444 max bonus; total rake $1954 to complete; $111 released per $488.50 in rake.)

Note: $ rake per bonus$ is approximate (and therefore release rates in examples above are approximate - but close). Release rate is based on player points earned rather than actual rake paid. Points earned is approximately 10 points per dollar of rake paid, but can vary a bit (usually when playing Euro tables).

Thanks. I had a question and Im really curious, since the US government stepped in and what not, how much would you say your traffic has improved since then.

PokerScout shows it's about the same but personally I think the "peak" traffic has increased during US times. Maybe they lost some Euro players and this is also the slow time of the year. Also with the Networks merging that should help with traffic somewhat and hopefully will have a domino affect causing more people to start playing at MintedPoker with the increase in traffic.

Neil,

Any plans on adding Filters so I can remove the Cap tables and BB tables? I'm assuming this would have to be in the new software but would like to request that if it's not to late in the development stages.

[Ben Lopez]

Just came back online like an hour ago, so we'll have to wait and see throughout the day to see how the traffic has increased. I actually didn't see any BBJ tables, but there are a TON of CAP tables (too many, really). I don't play cap games usually, so I'll have to read up on on cap-specific strategy before hitting those tables, but it looks like as of right now the players on almost exclusively playing cap.

I am curious though; why does Minted feel so strongly about adding a large volume of cap tables? Was this highly requested? If so, what is the appeal of these tables?

I don't care for the cap games and I agree there are way to many.

I'm guessing the reason they are added is because they were on one of the Networks that merged. That would also explain why there are so many of them right after they added them.

[BallLikeAceltic]

[TiltTheTilt]

I guess they removed the star system? I don't see it on any players now.

They were doing maintenance and I was only able to login about 20 min ago.

Normally they do not go through on Debit or Credit Cards, but you can try. I would recommend just doing a deposit by Western Union. This will allow you to Cashout through Western Union and it is the fastest Cashout Method and worth making a deposit through.

I believe it's normally within an hour. Someone else may want to confirm as I don't remember.

Also in regards to the Cap tables, they are diminishing in numbers, so hopefully it was just players trying them out or players on another Network that was just merged.
