Received an email from them offering a 150% cash signup bonus. I have not heard much about these guys and was hoping you could help me decide if this is a place to atleast try out. I have played at party poker, ultimate bet, and paradise poker in the past but not offer a bonus like they are currently running.

Please give me your thoughts and here is the link from the email I got from them. http://www.9poker.com/

Thanks
Marlboro

I had to edit your post to remove the tracker in the link. ;)

Never heard of the place personally, but a 150% bonus isn't to be frowned at I guess. I bet it's a bastard to clear like the FT and UB bonuses though.

I attempted to try it out for th $10 offer but it turns out the $10 could only be used for the betting part of the site, not the poker site. So the answer is no. I haven't played on it and probably won't. Too many sites I play on already.

FAQ from your link.

https://www.cardschat.com/Q. Do I receive any POP point for entry fees paid at the tournaments?
A. No, at this moment the POP points are only awarded to the players that contribute to the rake games at a rate of one POP point for every 10 cents you contribute to the rake.


this will be tough one to clear. You have 60 days to clear it.

Good Luck!

Here is an actual live chat conversation I had with 9's support

Nick: Welcome to Client Services, before we get started I would like to inform you that the 3rd Qualifying Round of the Black Jack Super Bowl Tournament finishes on Sunday, Feb. 12th at 11:00PM EST. Don't miss out! Now, how can I help you?
you: is there any information on how to earn POP?
Nick: Sure.
Nick: One moment please.
you: ok
Nick: Cash bonuses are credited to the player’s bonus account in the poker room. Players must earn the required amount of Player Options Points (POP) before releasing their bonus. The bonus must be released within a maximum 60-day timeframe. The conversion ratio is equal to 12 POP points per every $1 of bonus cash released.
Nick:
you: ok I got that in fo but how do I earn the POP's?
Nick: You need to play to earn the POP point, it would give it to you auntomatelty every time you are playing, you will see your POP point raise every time you play or log in.
you: no doubt, do I have to put in to the pot? how much does the rake have to be? at what table limits?
Nick: One moment please.
you: ok

Please wait while I transfer the chat to 'george'.

You are now chatting with 'george'
you: ok
george: Hello this is George from poker support
you: I just want to know how do I earn 900 POP's with $50?
george: I don`t really understand that but here is how it works. You get 1 pop point for every 10 cents that you contribute to the rake.
you: so if there are 3 people in a hand that is raked $0.10 the 2 people in the hand get 1 point each?
you: 3 people get 1 POP?
george: No, it is for every 10 cents that you as a person contribute to the rake
george: Not for every 10 cents that the table rake
you: ok so in other words I gotta be pretty damn good to get this bonus pretty much a legend?
george: Well most of our players are able to release it on the first deposit but obviously that depends on your skill and on the table of table that you play at
you: what table do you recomend I play at with a $50 deposit?
george: at the $1/2 or $2/$4, it shouldn`t take you too long
you: or say if i bet $5 in total heads up how much rake will the table take from a $10 pot?
george: That depends, the max is 5% of the table pot
george: in that example, you would be giving 0.25 cents in rake
george: so that would be 2.5 pop points
you: ok thanks
george: Is there anything else I can help you with?
you: well a table grid would be nice
you: I mean that states the table limits and the rake percentages and stuff
you: not to put down your site but that is very essential in a poker room
george: We will take that into consideration, thank you for the suggestion
you: can you provide me with one George please I would really like to do some calculations that will help me deposit
george: I will send an email to our poker manager and hopefully we will have that on our web site in the near future
