I'm planning to make my first deposit on this site. Who is better to ask than our very own GGPoker afficionados on which bonus is better!

Is it free tickets or the matched deposit bonus? If its u, which one would u choose?

Which is better probably comes down to current bonus rules.
During my sign-up (quite some time ago) I chose the tickets and made about $60 with them but was not allowed to withdraw since they considered them also as some sort of bonus money ??? Never received a straight answer to that.

Perhaps need to spend those in the site too & convert to winning before allowed to withdraw?
Probably it. I just wish they would've said that clearly in their TOS at the time.

The problem with these tickets is that they are meant to be used in various types of games. And one of those games is the AoF, which you go allin or Fold. To me, that's not poker, it's pure bingo.

Agree on that but perhaps C$ from the extra AoF challenge could compensate later on?

I opted for the tickets as the rollover requirements for the bonus are usually way too high for my playing volume.

Although be aware the tickets are for high-variance games but hopefully still something comes out of them.

In addition, please check out if you have the honeymoon promotion available after your deposit as this is also a good opportunity to increase your BR.

Good luck!

Have you looked up what your total bonus amount was ? If it is under 60 it's only logical you couldn't withdraw.

Choose the tickets !
It'll help you with the 30days Honeymoon challenge too! Not entirely sure If you can use tickets for the honeymoon challenges but tickets will definetly give you some BR which will help you complete the challenge.

These 30 days can be super-lucrative and I regret I still clinged to the sinking Hindenburg called PS at that time which was the reason I only completed 4 Missions in this 30 days. .
Since I was busy spending rake at PS ....

Also VERY important , you should sign up through an affiliate. That way and ONLY that way you will be able to participate in all freerolls , also from other affiliates.

I can send you promolink. If you sign up for it, you're eligible for their monthly LB and you will earn rakeback for any game you play monthly.

If you're interested send me a pm

They do^^
The key words here were "at the time". Today they may be different. Even now the ticket promo says "no strings attached".

It was a long ago. I can't recall.

All I can say is, that the only site that hasn't tried to hide behind the rules and has paid my withdrawings fair and square is Party.

Certainly to familiarize yourself more with the game on this site are the tickets from which you could win something, the bonus must be played several times, which would certainly be a bit difficult to earn some profit.

They didn't lie too you .No strings attached refers to the the receival of your ticket!

Shame you had such problems. In general it's really the players thought when it comes to withdrawal issues .
99% it's because people don't ever read T&C 🙄

;) If you have read my posts in the past I can assure you that I'm actually the kind of person who reads the nitty gritty fine print no matter how long it is.
But this was just my encounter with them. Your mileage may vary ;)

Then you belong to a dying species xD
You probably missed some paragraph. .
Somewhere it states all conditions concerning withdrawals . As far as I know you never can withdraw boni. Only what you won above said amount .

I assume you won the 60 bucks with the tickets?
It's possible that they prohibit withdrawal of ticket wins ..so you would need to invest that win again in order to withdraw winnings after .
But that's Just an assumption, I could be entirely wrong about his.
But I could ask my fianceé if she would read it through, she got an idetic memory so one read should be enough 👌🏼

It's also entirely possible you are completely right and they should have let you payout.
GG's withdrawal policy is illegal to begin with ...
But so is any withdrawal policy of pokerrooms.

In all rooms the gambling association is enforcing a rule which is against most constitutions.
You can't ask your customer to lay open all their finances at a certain amount of withdrawal per month.
The official reasoning is gambling addiction prevention but we all know rooms speculate on people gambling it away again .
Hence why I will make only one deposit per month with max 2900$ .
Don't need that nonsense ..

True but one should not see Boni as a means of earning money but getting to know the pokerroom and start building your BR

I would definitely choose tickets and play them and then win money, but each player needs his own choice so that he gets what he wants and then watch poker broadcasts with streamers, maybe they have some more bonuses once you make a deposit, you can increase it with the help of streamers

Hey! I used the tickets promotions and I recommend it. But I'd don't recommend to try to achieve the daily challenges.

Looks like I'm no longer eligible for this promotion as account was created more than 30 days ago. :( All is good. :) Got deposit back in Day1 from free tickets.
