Personally, I find it pretty incredible that so many people use this forum only to whine, bitch, moan and complain. We're getting a great deal here, morans. So what if your status isn't updated minute by minute, your books will get there if you complete the requirements..... and they're be free. Think about it.
I have my doubts about this deal. Sure, 5 books is great and if i read it correct then you can earn them pretty easy.
But on the long term.... if you keep playing on that site you would be better or using a rateback site to register a poker account.
With rakeback you get back up to 33 - 38 % of the rake you pay on a monthy base! For those who did't know that.
I think all rakeback site requier that your fist download/account/deposit goes through their code..
So if you take this offer then 2+2 gets all the rake you pay, as long as you play there. This is not a fact, but my guess and therefor i hope for a reply.
But since there are so many sites out there, you might just use betfair for your books and play a little and then after you got the books you say Sayonara. You withdrawl and cash in somewere else using a rakeback code.
So i basicly wonder if it's really so easy to just play a little while their and still get those books. And at wich point is that?
C u at the tables anyway ^

Hey Amscy,
Welcome to the forums
All true, and rakeback is to be strongly recommended to anyone who sees themselves playing a significant number of hands long term on a site. However, this offer is still very valuable to learning players, ie everyone, and has been a huge help to my game at least.
I have no idea how 2p2 benefit from this and (thinking of the old Everest bonus where you have to deposit $5 and play 1 hand to qualify) in some cases someone is definitely taking a loss. I suspect it was Everest in that situation lol
What you describe is essentially what I did, I played the majority of my hands on a site where I have a rake back deal, and fulfilled the bonus requirements at my leisure, nothing says we have to stay there forever. Just common sense.
To be honest though, it wasn't a matter of 'there's no way am i gonna let 2p2 get all my rakeback' , 2p2 as an organization deserves it more than rakexxx.com or whatever, rather I was just happy enough where I was and didn't like the other sites enough to change.
Software sucks, tilts the hell out of me in truth, but trust me, the players are much worse
