I'm thinking about signing up for paddy power, I was intending to anyway as i heard they have soft tournaments and it's on the bonus so... sweet imo

But..and it's a definate but you have to generate 13,000 points to clear the bonus..?! This seems like a huge amount compared to some of the others, though it may be just because of differences in point structure or whatever.

Anyway, I has question and there isn't a thread up already. How's the paddy power experience been in terms of traffic, fish, software and a rough estimate of how long it takes to clear the 2+2 and paddy bonus at low stakes, NL or Limit, tournaments or SNG's. Any info you guys have would be fantastic, cheers.

So....

on the Ipoker network, currently had 21K people playing on it, I play a lot of Limit there, and there are always @ least 5 FULL tables on each level from 2/4- 10/20. So there should be more at smaller stakes.

13000 points = looking at it is a lot, as you would get 15 points per $1 in rake for MTTs + SNGs.

It looks to be about 18,000 hands @ micro stakes ring, which is a hell of a lot.

But the network is soft enough, and if you were thinking of playing there anyway, then you may as well sign up through here, as you get the same deposit bonus, but of course the books too after a while.

Like the previous post said Paddy Power is on the ipoker network so traffic is usually good however if your thinking of playing the mtt's the blind structure is a little to fast so be prepared to gamble.

Hope this helps.

Hadn't realized it is on iPoker, I've played there before anyways but both comments are insightful and appreciated in any case.

I don't know if i can cope with 18k on this network tho, I seem to only be able to multitable without going crazy on stars or FT, but we'll see how it goes. I'll prob do a mix of Limit and HU, some sngs and will sort out some sort of trip report with how long it took etc if/when i clear the 2+2 bonus.

This thread prompted me to look into our PaddyPower promotion, and we reportedly had it wrong ... should have read 1,300 points. This should apply to anyone who has signed up through us at Paddy.

Well, this definitely changes things!

I had been avoiding PP up to now and wondered why it was sooooo much more than the other sign-ups. Now I may look them up!

Haha, sweet!

I've been playing quite a bit so I'm pretty close already after less than one week. I'd recommend this bonus so far, the network has much more traffic than a few of the other sites and competition in the HU sng's and cash tables has been mostly incompetent, with even apparent regs pretty exploitable.

I can't believe I was willing to do this for 13k points though..must be mad

Cheers for the update Kiera, I have my standard question again though. Does it matter on PP whether it is your account name or poker network name that is entered?
I was trying to get them both as 'TigerCry' but someone else had got it on the poker side of things so I'm playing as...and think I've entered on 2+2 .. 'LolScreenNames' if it matters?

1,300... So much more reasonable. Must get my iPoker and firewall problem sorted!

You entered LolScreenNames in your 2+2 registration which should work out fine for verification but I'll keep an eye on it in case there is an issue.
