Hope they haven't ran out of ideas already, and it's just the deposit bonus that's on repeat?

Also - 'Mega' lol

Or they may have just come full circle, in which case tomorrow will be the cardmatch, and so on. I predict there will be quite a few repeat promos (expect to see more cardhunts/cardmatch, shootouts, spin and go etc.). Fortunately there will also be some new promos in the calendar, for instance we know there's the micromillions coming up. Overall a disappointing start to the calendar but they've still got some time to redeem themselves.

Since when did groundhog day kick in and today become Dec 2nd again?!

Firstly I logged in to see there was no offer at all for today in my challenges window. Then a little while later I log back in to see they had placed an old offer in the window for today.

They can't even do basic things like putting the right offers in on the right days and at the right times...

P.s. @Sam, your min (and most likely) prize is $1 for your $20 dep. My min prize is $2 for a $200 dep.

All of you with such low deposit minimums should be jumping all over the offer as, there's a lot more value there for you in comparison.

Realistically is it not lower since you get hosed on withdraw fees? Been a while since I cashed out, it's showing (4 years) I recently started playing again. Is it free for bank transfers?

I also was going to withdraw my last deposit today but it said I was eligible for deposit promos, were they talking about those garbage free roll ones they run seemingly daily or this promo?

There are no withdraw fees on E-Wallets like Skrill/Neteller, and usually not on bank cashouts either (at least I never paid anything on stars).

The message you receive could be because of the Freeroll tickets (if they do expire due to a withdrawal,and only them, the popup appears too)

It has nothing to do with the daily Christmas promo. They are talking about the garbage daily $500 freeroll tickets and anything else you happen to have at the time in your 'deposit bonus' part of the cashier (which is usually nothing). Have a look in there before withdrawing.

I have withdrawn on a few occasions recently and although all deposit bonuses (which have only been those garbage tickets for me) in my cashier disappear, the exact same ones they wiped are then back again for me to use approx 24-48hrs later.

If you have deposit offer and you cashout during that period before depositing you wont get the bonus. Not the sticky freeroll tickets but like btc, spingo tickets and reloads.

E lets say you get a deposit offer 100% to mirrion running january 1st to 15th but you miss that and cashout on the 3rd. Notice the offer on the 10th and deposit you wont get that reload. Atleast happened to me when I missed a reload offer some time ago. Usually just instaclose those news popups.

They never released that information for the deposit bonuses.

It's probably based upon your average stakes you play and/or your VIP status.


I've never once got the minimum amount required for anything yet.

Usually try to stick with playing only when the tables seem like they give me at least a chance - so basically only try to play at times/stakes where you can count on there being like drunk people who keep passing out every couple of hands, stuff like that Half the time they've still outlasted me, so just imagine if they'd been awake and sober lol ..



My counter says am on Step 10 of Bronze Star for this month, so yes it sure seems like maybe different amounts based on stakes and vip level?


PS.

Sonic - have only ever deposited with credit card, and PS charges $4-$5 for every deposit using a credit card, so will only deposit for a bonus that's more than that? Looks like the other methods available for depositing are Instant echecks, entropay, Instadebit, and paysafecard, but have never tried any of those - not sure if there might be a fee for using those as well?

Mr Invisible - yes, the selection so far has been a bit disappointing - would be lovely if the challenges get better as the month wears on, but yes maybe it'll just be a rotation of stuff we've already had too, could see that as well ... Guess we'll just have to wait and see


Have a nice weekend everybody!

Have the Holiday tunes on 'super peppy' mode - and may need a drink myself to get through this 'Jacks or Better' Challenge Of all the Zoom challenges, for some reason find myself taking the most breaks with this one - maybe because it takes more hands, and pays less $ than the CardMatch?


In case anybody needs a pick-me-up ... although, guess it's actually about people suffering from hunger




Spoiler:
Will donate my prize money to Unicef - so hope the prize today is good!


Is anybody getting better than $1 min-cash?

I like the Jacks or better promo today... dropped down to regular 10nl games and they are so soft so it's almost a promotion inside a promotion! it's a shame you can't play Jacks or better say 3 times in the day, so it encourages people to keep playing rather than sitting out as soon as they have got to 100!
