Getting free money from poker sites

[starfall]

I don't know what other sites do this (Paradise certainly don't seem to), but when I cashed out all my money from Party, a short time later they put $15 in my account to play with. Since I mainly played cash games, and their minimum stakes were $0.50/$1 limit, $15 wasn't nearly enough for the swings, so I lost that, but it was still a free deposit in my account. I was quite pleased with that.
Now, having not been on there in a while, I've logged in a couple of times to investigate the Omaha games running, and lo and behold they've offered me another $20 without having to make a deposit... that's $35 for absolutely nothing, and I can play on their site with the money without risking anything!

Meanwhile, my brother, who has kept money in there has not been offered anything, so it looks like the way to get the best offers from Party is to register with them, play on there for a while, and then cash your money out... you never know, they may just start giving you money to entice you back. The thing is, having just written that they're one of the possible sites for playing Omaha on at small stakes and above, I may even be tempted to deposit, so their strategy may work... but I thought some of you guys may be interested in knowing how generous one site can be when trying to win back your custom... In the meantime, though, I guess those $5+1 Sit-n-Go's look tempting...

Its like most businesses really, they tend to reward new or stagnant customers in the hope of recruiting, re-recruiting them while largely ignoring those that are already keeping them in business.
But I suppose what they are doing is nothing new, and if like yourself they have re-ignited your interest, its a policy that works well.

Alot of sites are doing that. Some of the Prima networks top sites and almost all of the Ipoker network (Titan, Noble, etc...) I think its a great way to keep players around plus free money and we all like free money.

Happy Easter to all :hello:

Are u serious they will put money back. I mean 15 will only get u so far. but i guess they want u to play again there. Paradise is my fav site but they are lagging in providing any good stuff for loyal players. Poker.com is starting to me my next fav. titan is cool. not much of a party fan though. Well hey thanks for the info. i aapreciate it it. i am gonna withdraw my money from there. use there money from now on.

Paradise I checked out from, and they haven't offered any incentives at all to get me to play there again, so Party were a lot more impressive in that regard. I made some good profits from Paradise, but I'm currently playing on Noble, 32red and Stars, so I won't be back to Paradise for the time being unless they do offer an incentive - their games can sometimes be fishy, but while I'm building a bankroll I'm looking for equally soft games where I can also earn bonuses.
It got me looking at Party again - once I've cleared a few more bonuses to help pad my bankroll I may put some money in there again. The main problem is when they give you $15 or $20 it's not a lot for playing the Omaha games they have running - it's not enough for $0.50/$1.00 stakes, and you only need a couple of hours of cold cards to drop that much in their cheapest Sit-n-Gos. Of course, that's probably part of the point - to get maximum value from their gift you have to deposit again.

party poker sends me $50.00 seems like about every other month and also my wife $35.00

We usually play it off/build it up really fast because u have to play so many raked hands before u can keep it (For $50 u gotta play 500 and for 35 you gottta play 350).

I have not had any luck with the free money they've sent me but my wife ran it up to over $700.
