BetonUSA & Pokerhost free entry & 50. bucks

Opened my mail today ( US mail ) and Pokerhost sent me a scratch card and i got 2 pair and a free entry into the Nightly 1,000 guaranteed tournament, also i got some mail from BetonUSA.com so i went to their site and created an account, then went to BetonUSA.com/free50 and entered the Promo Code and it said they would put $ 50. bucks in my account for free ( no deposit or anything ) within 24 hours. I got these things in the Regular us mail not my email,so everyone check your regular mail or go to these sites to find out more. ill let you know if betonusa.com puts the free $50 in my account when its there,it said 24 hours and i just got through doing it. gl all

Pokerhost is full of bull,i called them and they said i have to make a deposit first and on the card they sent me it says free,nothing about depositing so i told them where to go. Now for the betonusa.com the 50 bucks is already in my account,but they said i cant play MTT tourneys with it. i was supprised it was in my account in less than an hour.ok gl buckster436

I investigated the pokerhost.com scratch off this far: Here is the transcript with thier support:

Welcome to www.pokerhost.com. mac will be right with you.

Welcome to Poker Support. How may I help you?

Sammyv1

I need to know how to register for the 2 offers on the scratch and win thing I recieved in the mail?

mac

Just have to make a deposit in order to get your promotion.

Sammyv1

What about the free entry into the nightly $1000 tourney same thing?, you need to deposit?

mac

Yes for next time deposits.

Sammyv1

So both of them need a deposit? Then they are not FREE. What is the Minimum deposit?

mac

$25 and for Credit Card deposits $50.

Sammyv1

You should let your supervisor know that it says on my Scratch and Win game that there is *No purchase Necessary. This is some bad false advertisement on your part!

Sammyv1

It also says No funding required!

mac

For the drawing but for the promotion is for for your next deposit.

Sammyv1

So can I get in the drawing?

Sammyv1

Where is the code?

mac

At the back on the left conner of the card.

Sammyv1

oh ok.

Sammyv1

******

mac

Thank you. Please allow me one second.

Sammyv1

O.K.

mac

I just added you to the drawing.

Sammyv1

Thank you. Can I get an E-mail confirmation on that?

mac

You will get your confirmation when you win.



When I win. UGH!!!! How do I know this Mac guy even put me in. What a Crock!!!!!As you can see he wanted me to make a deposit for both the free nightly $1000.00 game and the Drawing, but when I persisted He put me in the drawing for the 2006 WSOP. This seemed very fishy to me. I thought it was a classless act on thier part.

they did the same thing to me, i gave him the code on my scratch card ( P6332B ) and they told me the same Bull>.is your code the same as mine ???? buckster

And this is why I have taken my money out of PokerHost. To put it quite simply: THEY SUCK. I believe that I will post a new thread to warn our fellow Cardchatters of this mediocre at best site.

Yeah you aren't alone juicee I frequently steer peeps away from pokerhost their money policies are an absolute joke!

Heck,

I consider the 2 pair lucky. I didn't even get one pair. Just a busted Ace high straight, 7 instead of a jack.

I got the same code on my snail mail. p6332b

That sucks. Let's boycot dip-shit sites like poker host.

Buckster, thanks for the heads-up on Pokerhost. Finally got my new computer set up and am in the process of picking which sites to deposit with so I can begin contributing to the retirement funds of my fellow cardschat forum members. This site continues to be an excellent resource on all poker related matters.

how do i get my free 50

Shane. Take a look at the date of the post before yours...it's over a year ago...chances are this promo has long since expired.

But on the flip side, they weren't really honoring it back then either. So I say give him the code and let him have a go at it.

Lol, that sugarshane has a lot to answer for..
I read through the whole feckin thread before I got to JQ's intervention.
That will teach me to look at dates more often.
Maybe this thread should be moved somewhere else before others who read from the top fall into the same trap as me.

Well, rather than delete it, I think I'll just close it...
