Deposit Bonus Carbon and 888

I have accounts at Carbon and 888 and have never deposited. I have money through sign up bonus and FR. If I deposit my money the first time, how can I see that I get a good deposit bonus?

Carbon

I can't recall how it went on carbon - I do think they matched my initial deposit of 10€ (not sure about how many vip points I had to play but I did it within 2 days).

There are several first deposit freerolls (IDK - 10? / 14 ?) which are pretty soft ....even I did cash in 2 of the 8 I played (for ~ 70$ altogether).

All the info about how they match your deposit and about the freerolls is on the site.

888

I made my first deposit on 888 on sunday via paysafe-card.

When chosing this option you're auto-transferred to a live chat support (don't worry it's letigimate)

who will help you through the process and answer any questions you might have.

Her name was Kelly and she was very helpfull.

My deposit (25€) was matched 100% but as on carbon you have to earn 100 fpps (or whatever they call it there) to get 10$ bonus increments.

The deposit reached my account after 5min.

After 48 hours (that's today for me) you are eligible for 7days of first depositors freerolls (can't say how they will be - I guess pretty soft since freeroll).

So I played the first of the depositors freerolls and guess what ?

It was a donkament right from the start, lol.

5 Orbits with at least 3 players all in in every hand - I took a chance with AKs and got pummeled by Q9o who snapcalled and hit lolol.

290 entrants, 500$ prize pool and 6 more of these to go - I have to get used to the play in freerolls again I guess. :dontknow:

Thanks for the info. I will not deposit yet, as I am still employed for 2 ore months and want to have time to pick and choose when I play the FR (uggggg) and work on any bonuses I may get.

I read in another thread that on another site - I think it was betfair, but may be wrong here - that taking advantage of the bonus meant larger minimum withdrawal limits and larger withdrawal fees. I never read the TOS all that good, so I guess I will before I do a deposit with bonus.

Call all in Q9o. Even I dont do that anymore...lol

GL with the rest.

If you're considering Betfair you should get onto it pronto!!! Cardschat has an excellent promo going on there right now ($300 freerolls!!!). Trouble being that you'll have to be on tables with me in them (but 2nd is something to aspire to anyways).
Joking (sort of ) < no he isn't!!
I haven't been able to get my deposit thru on there yet but intend on trying other methods til' I get it done. Wayyyyy too much value to pass up on with the CC freerolls on there!

888Poker bonuses are REALLY difficult to clear (unless you're playing a bunch of 50nl+ tables). The bonus freerolls they have (their 'VIP' program) are awful! Turbo structure & not alot of value in them imo. 'BUT' the play on there is INCREDIBLY SOFT!!! Sooooooo much different than other sites.
LOTS of low buyin MTTs too ($10-$20 range).. with TONS of donks in them! (I'm thinking of moving a bunch of my roll over there to play in them regularly in Oct.)...besides I'll fit right in! Seriously though, the players on that site SUCK!!!
Stats. are now tracked by pokerprolabs for the past couple mos. too (which is a bonus obviously if you have pokerprolabs software).
