Can anyone tell me if I can get a deposit bonus if funding via player transfer? This would be for any US site. I've read both yes and no for the same sites before, so I'm not really sure. I did read Lock allowed this at one time, but it was before the move to Revolution. I'm looking to open a new account and P2P transfer is going to be my easiest way to fund the account, but I don't want to get screwed losing a bonus.

Not usually, no, but I've heard there are exceptions. However, you shouldn't lose the bonus forever - if a transfer doesn't count, most sites will still give you the first time deposit bonus when you actually deposit.

Exactly what Bobo said.

I've never heard of any poke site automatically crediting a bonus after a p2p transfer. What might work though, is emailing the site and explaining that you will be playing with the funds p2p'd to you and would appreciate if they treated it as a deposit.

It's probably best to email anyway, because by accepting a p2p and beginning to play without a bonus, I could imagine a situation where you somehow forgo your bonus too or at least it's not automatically credited when you come around to deposit as you're already an active player.

Hope this helps & good luck!

Thanks for the info. I'd never considered it possible before, but I actually read on here (can't remember where) of several instances where the transfer counted as a deposit method. I'll be sure to e-mail before I take any action now. I'd rather just deposit rather than risk losing the bonus. Transfer is just far more convenient for me.

I know for PS its a def no.

I've heard of a few US sites doing this, but as others mention, it is not standard.

Check with your affiliate if you have one, otherwise check with the site's own support (a player rep on 2p2 would be my first place to go, followed by a management or affiliate support person at the site, followed by standard site support).
