Great News ! Can you tell us how many made it to the Overdrive Club ?

Do overdrive bonuses stack on top of each other? If i get 100 vip points for example, do I receive double the money released if I have two overdrive bonuses at the same time?

For the 100,000 hands, even the .01 .02 stakes count?

3334 hands per day in one month. Sounds tricky. Get dealt 65 hands per hour, that's 51 hours of play you'd have to play per day. So you'd obviously have to multitable.

Play 5 Tables at the same time and you're still at 10 hours a day.
Play 10 tables at the same time now you're down to 5 hours a day. But that's hard to keep up that pace (at least for me)

I don't see many people doing it.

Hi Seth, received my 100bb bonus, thx.

But why does it say Playthrough: %0.02of 10 days ?
01-03-2011 , 11:35 PM
in the fast lane rake thing, how come some people on the leader board have "+1000 vips points" others have 2000 etc? how do you earn the extra points?

also if you clear a level when does the $ get put into your account?

Pretty sure what you are referring to is the level they reached. Once you hit the level it notes what level you are on and how many points you have. The money is awarded generally within an hour or so.

Good question, but the bonuses won't stack.

Existing Overdrive Club Members will be eligible for other perks. If you continue to make Overdrive in consecutive months, you'll have a bonus waiting for you when you either finish clearing the first one, or the bonus expires.

There's a known issue with the leader board, it's being worked on as we speak. Everything is still tracking correctly, it's just displaying wrong!

There's a short delay on the Overdrive Club accolades, but we'll get them into the winner's accounts shortly.

Hi guys!

I have 2 questions about the 50K50X promo.
If I play 50k NL10 hand, I'll get 5$ instanly, right?
And I'll get 500$ bonus too and I can clear that only for 75 VIP points. Is it true? Sounds too easy.
01-20-2011 , 02:10 PM
75 points PER dollar bonus earned.
