[Poker] Who want 50$ for free ?

Hey all,

I know many people here are playing poker live or online.

I'm registred on a website offering a good rakeback on many rooms.
And they are offering 50$ on the room of your choice, if you just register on this site, and enter the right promo code when registring on the room.
It's 100% free

Anyone interesting ? pm me here

It truly works, I had my 50$ on the room I chose (FTP), 3-4 days after the inscription :)

Nice advertising a referral link, No thanks
I just want to share what I consider as a good way to start a bankroll.
+ I have a few % on what you will eventually gain (if you are a winning player) as any other person registred on that site :p

sharing referral links only show interest in one person, and that is yourself.

spare me that bullshit.

A friend of me shared is referal link to me, I had my 50$, he had a % on it...
We were both happy. I don't understand why you are so negative.

Everyone win on such a system :
You, your friend, the stacker, the room
Parent
the way referrals work is this :

your rake and percentage wins will be less than anyone youre playing against, set by a poker program that runs the site youre playing on. your $50 will not last long, then youll want to keep playing.... put your own money in..... yup, thats right. its a con.
Parent
That's illegal isn't it?

They can use referrals to get more customers and hope they get hooked without having to cheat, gambling sites always offer decent bonuses for new sign ups etc and are completely fair.

It's 100% legal... It's the rakeback principe...

You register on the site I refer.
You register on the room you want with a promo code
The site gives you 50$
The room gives a rakeback to the site which bring you on it
The site gaves you a % on this rakeback
the more hands you play, the higher you will paid back

+ the $ you win playing poker on the room
Parent
i think if you read the terms and conditions of the "free" $50 "gift" , youll see it in there :)
Parent
I thought you were suggesting that a computer would make it less likely you win
Parent
There are no conditions !
The stacker site get the rakeback from the romm...
On FullTiltPoket it's 28% of the generated rake.
They give you 80% of this rakeback to you
+ you have 50$ in orderto start to play on the room of your choice.

it's win/win/win

=> The room wins one more player who eventually will deposit in the future, and earn the rake generated by his play
=> The stacking site earn a part of the rakeback, which can be really interesting if you're a winner player
=> you win 50$ + a good rakeback + the possibility to win more $ if you know how to play poker

Now you're being like a perfect stereotype of an old person using the Internets :)

Well yeah, it's plausible to suspect a scam I give you that, but this isn't one. The sites that offer these 50$ no deposit bonuses are huge companies instead of shady scam sites run by a nerd in a basement: Google "Full Tilt Poker", their net worth is in the billions.

The idea is obviously not to give anyone free money. You're right that the 50$ will probably not last long, but not because the newbies are sent to play against cheating bots for gods sake (also No Limit Holdem bots are easy to beat) - it's because newbies who take the 50$ are very likely to be absolutely terrible players. IF you're a winning player, there's no reason to assume you'd lose it - on the other hand no decent player has a reason to play for pennies like that.
Just remember that poker sites always earn their money by taking a percentage of pots, that's it. Players are never playing against the house, and the sites don't care who wins. They just want people to play, and giving random players a measly 50$ is an insane way to advertise the site & to get action into the tables.

come on, i gave you more credit than that.

if youre playing ain a re-buy tournament for instance, you cant tell me the rake isnt adjusted up untill the rebuys close? lol, you watch any / every rebuy tournament and the ammount of crazy bad beats and people hitting 25 to 1 cards that come up is rediculous.... its a random card generator man, that sometimes isnt so random.

"The reason the sites rig the decks, is explained away as a business decision, in order to make the sites more money in rake or to give new players artificial luck, so they get sucked into the site."

Did you even read the article that you copypasted a short bit of text from?

"Cheating in Poker

QuoteFrom reading the forums over most poker sites these days, it seems that many poker players are worried about the possibility of cheating in online poker. There's been a lot of talk about the popular poker sites like Party Poker, Poker Stars and others rigging the deck. The reason the sites rig the decks, is explained away as a business decision, in order to make the sites more money in rake or to give new players artificial luck, so they get sucked into the site.

In my personal opinion, cheating is going to happen in online poker. Whether the cheating will actually by carried out by the actual poker site, is pretty hard to believe. An online poker site like Party Poker may have some problems, but I'm sure even they know that rigging the deck would be the absolute worst thing they could do to shoot themselves in the foot. There already exist a number of poker programs out there like Poker Tracker that are able to monitor hand histories on the poker sites with an incredible amount of detail. I'm sure some sophisticated players who have the capability have written their own poker tools for that matter.


The bolded part, which you pasted is "what newbies may misinformedly think".

Jesus Christ - first of all rebuys and add-ons are always free of rake, the site gains absolutely no advantage even if everyone takes 1000 rebuys! Every dollar that is used on a rebuy goes to the prize pool with no part of it going to the site as rake . Rebuy tournaments always take the rake from the initial buy-in only.
Second, the "amount of crazy bad beats" has NEVER, by any of the millions of poker players, some of who have played millions of hands, been shown to be "non-random" in a statistically significant sample. I challenge you to do that, lol.
Also how on earth would the site gain an advantage by constantly producing a higher amount of bad beats (which would definitely be noticed) - player 1 has AA, player 2 has 72o. They go all-in - now how does the site actually benefit from "letting 72o win more than 11% of the time"? The answer is "in no way".

Randomness and variance (which are 100% science) are counter-intuitive. You're just misunderstanding and thinking that unlikely outcomes in the short run somehow prove that "it wasn't random to begin with!". It's random, that's why weird things sometimes happen. If nothing "weird looking" ever happened, that would disprove the validity of the random generator!

Jeez, that's what I'm trying to say here
