Anyone else ever get free $$$?

#1 21st November 2008, 6:17 PM

I used to be a regular cash player before the laws changed and I started playing more live games. I still play freerolls just to mess around, but it seems on UB every 4-6 months I'll have $10 in my account. I've gone up and down with it and always have bonus $s to get but just wondered if anyone else has received the same or better?

#2 21st November 2008, 6:39 PM

Pokerstars does this for me.. twice now i've gotten an email that they put $5 in my account... wish ultimatebet would do the same for me, i have $135 bonus dollars i need to unlock lol

#3 21st November 2008, 6:40 PM

Never got anything free at any site, except the original bonusses I got when I signed up. I'm assuming you lose the money and then it's back again after awhile?

I haven't lost, yet, on any of the sites. I guess that's why I haven't gotten any. Not that I'm complaining, I'd rather win than get free money.

Stars and Full Tilt have both sent me money before, FT is
usually because of technical problems and Stars cuz I won't
deposit there.

#5 21st November 2008, 6:55 PM

When I was making deposits regularly I was also making withdrawls regularly. This was when I could have it direct deposited to my bank account. Since then I've made two deposits and one check withdrawl.
The free $10 I've only ever worked up to about $40 and usually make the mistake of taking my whole bankroll to a NL table.

3.50 from fulltilt, in a freeroll tourney. I make a bankroll of 50 bucks then I loss it all. I didnt have I good strategy to make it bigger my bankroll.

I have got $50 free deposit form *****.com (removed to avoid spam)

I have the same thing happen in my account on UB.Ten dollars every few months.You can get it wether you have money in your account or not.They always send an e-mail to let me know it is in there.I have noticed it usually comes when my time at the site has dropped quite a bit.Holdem

#9 28th November 2008, 4:42 PM

i never get nothing free , but if u are whrite i must veryfy my accounts , how knows maybe i have something , ill try whrite now at ultimate

#10 28th November 2008, 11:01 PM

yep FullTilt will always give you at least $5.00 if you were playing while they had technical difficulties (even you were sitting on a last position during your freeroll you would get $5.00 if site goes down). If you were in the money game you'll get reimbursed your last hand + $5.00.

#11 30th November 2008, 7:35 PM

Pokerstars has done that for me, but I like to play on Fulltilt more...nothing from them tho

#12 1st December 2008, 6:56 PM

I have received $5 from PS, about a wek after I created an account. I did not deposit any money though, maybe that's why they sent me the free $5.
I have been playing on FT for a few years now, but I have never gotten straight up cash, just several bonus offers, where u have to earn so and so FT points to get the bonus...

#13 1st December 2008, 7:54 PM

Pokerstars put 20.00 in my account one time last year after i havent played there in a while ,but the other sites havent really gave me anything.

#14 3rd December 2008, 12:54 AM

when i stopped playing pokerstars for a bit i logged on 1 day n they gave me free 15$ lol was cool

#15 3rd December 2008, 1:12 AM

This is my favorite when Sites randomly drop money into your accounts.
So far:
Bodog: 2 times - $5 dollars each time
Poker stars: 2 times $5 dollars each
Full Tilt: Am not really sure because it was kind of a mess around account.

#16 3rd December 2008, 1:23 AM

ultimate bet has done that for me a few time also..

#17 3rd December 2008, 1:30 AM

I have never recieved anything from ultimate bet but i did recieve 5 dollars on three different occasions from pokerstars to "encourage me to start playing again" is what it said in the emails i think but i just built them up to 50 and cashed out so i didnt care but they did it twice after but nothing since about may maybe but i have a little in my abnkroll so maybe thats why

#18 3rd December 2008, 1:39 AM

i deposited twice on ub, and so far i got a free $10...but it was a while ago but never got anything after

#19 3rd December 2008, 1:52 AM

Wow.
UB has never given me anything!
Never deposited there either though.
PS have given and FT
A few other sites give depending on how I download the program software and what PROMO I use etc.

Good luck to you

#20 3rd December 2008, 1:59 AM

lets see, I have deposited and run thru including matching bonuses about 400$ in the last six months and I have never gotten ANY free$ from Poker Stars.

I won at least five $ in freerolls on FT, but no free money, I am down to nothing in FT...I play PS almost exclusively.

#21 3rd December 2008, 5:31 PM

Ihave got some twicefrom p.s. once from f.t.But I have never got anything from u.b. Also i have got free money from a few other sites.

#22 3rd December 2008, 6:21 PM

The only time I have ever received free money from a poker site is after I haven't played there for awhile. It's their we want your $ back tactic. The most I ever received was $20 from Party Poker when U.S. players were still allowed to play real money there. I'm pretty sure Ultimate Bet gave me about $10 not that long ago but, I never was able to find out why. I'm just guessing because i stopped playing there for several months. HO Ho HO All

#23 4th December 2008, 1:33 AM

Free money is awsome...
I have recieved from a few sites.
Take what you can get, because usually once you have a BR you will not receive it anymore.

#24 4th December 2008, 4:46 AM

I have recieved $10 from pokerstars before thats about it and they give you a certain time limit to use it, it is pointless they can keep there money I am fulltilt all the way, I have tried all the other poker sites and they just do not float my boat like FT does.

#25 4th December 2008, 9:02 PM

Hmmm...never gotten anything, although I really wish they'd give me some free money...

#26 4th December 2008, 9:26 PM

i used to get bonuses from bodog but I have deposited for a long time now, so I guess they must figure i can fend for myself now

#27 4th December 2008, 11:35 PM

I just recieved a free $10 in casino chips today to try their casino.It's like a 20x deal where I have to wager at least $200 to be able to cash it out or transfer it to my poker account.Probably will never happen cause I have terrible luck at table games.

#28 4th December 2008, 11:48 PM

If gotten free money on a few sites.
pitbull,partypoker,VC,CD and walker.
Only withdrawn that money from one site and that was party.

#29 6th December 2008, 2:42 PM

Poker star's has given me $ in the past..Kind of upset to here about ub giving u $ i've been there 4 like 3 year's playing off and on and the only thing they ever gave me was a $50 bonus 4 signing up and depositing..?

#30 22nd December 2008, 10:17 PM

Paddy Power just gave me a $5 token for a SnG. Never happened before, all I did was stop playing PPP for about a month, they said it's a Christmas present so who knows.

#31 23rd December 2008, 1:32 AM

Sometimes when you have been playing a site regulary and you stop for a while, the wile send you a sugar plumb to try and entice you back.

#32 23rd December 2008, 1:34 AM

I recieved around $10 in my account on titan poker recently after not playing on the site for over 6 months.

Was a pleasent surprise to say the least

#33 23rd December 2008, 1:42 AM

Never, from any of them. they hate me.

#34 23rd December 2008, 2:38 AM

absolute does same for me 10 dollars maybe every 4 months to play with gl to you

#35 25th December 2008, 3:59 PM

Just my match bonus money so far....only been on a month.It's encouraging to hear I could get extra money out of nowhere.....don't even have to put a tooth under my pillow?
