Massive reload bonuses. Isn't it suspicious?

[odlozilik]

Absolute recently started to offer very big reload bonuses. While before it was mostly 15%, or 25% at the best, last time they increased it to 50%, and it's offered very often, like every second or third day. Today is the top - 75% (up to 200 for VIPs). Is it normal, or are they getting desperate? Should I quickly withdraw most of the money perhaps?

When I played on absolute i had like thousands and thousands of dollars in uncleared bonuses. It's pretty standard with them i think.

we also said you should pull your money out of there months ago, you're just clueless.

I surely would, just if they wouldn't have so good interest (9%), I get over 500$ monthly from that.

Unless you are able to get your money out and use it, you don't really have anything.

It doesnt look like the total dollar amount has changed much. So I guess, I am not too worried.

They dont lose money by offering the bonus. If they were short cash, they would keep the low percentage to encourage higher deposits, correct?

So the high percentage and same absolute dollar amount just encourages play and not an effort to raise cash.

I reloaded w/ confidence (but will do my regular end of month draw down).

I prove my point.

Supa, how much money did you lose there to get thousands of bonus points?

You must have made a TON of deposits. Only a fool would keep reloading just for a bonus if they have over a thousand uncleared.

Supa, if you still have uncleared bonuses on AP, come here to clear them, I will enjoy your company. And, you might hit a cool jackpot besides.

No I tend to have morals. Some people don't.

[Dave B]

I have a feeling it has more to do with getting repeatedly cleaned out and lasting bitterness.

Dont you still play UB? Same people, right?

No I do not play at UB post-scandal.
No I have never been "cleaned out" on either site.

So, is it immoral to play on the site, where I can eventually become a victim of the cheater(s)? That's absurd.

[kingetje]

no but its wrong to keep playing on a site who has consistently shown to cheat and then lie to their customers. WTF!?!?!? how do you people not see this?

Where do you think the rake goes?
Do you think they deserve it?

[Dave B]

It is immoral to let the horrible there keep their money. How can you not see THAT?

It is immoral to offer me rakeback when Full Tilt and Pokerstars does not? Is it immoral to have frequent and generous reload bonuses to share MORE of their rake with you?

Do you kick your dog and not let him back into your house if he craps on your neighbors carpet?
