That 1000% deposit bonus is enticing and I plan to deposit there to take
advantage of it.

How is their support?

How are the games?

How hard is that bonus to work off?

Haven't had to use it yet.

It depends. HE is rockish because of the fact that you work off the
bonus even when folding. O8 and TD 2-7 are loosey.


>How hard is that bonus to work off?

Seems tough, but if you're playing 2/4 or above it piles up quickly.
I guess it's deceptive.

Thanks King. I guess Ill give it a shot with a semi small deposit and play 1/2.

Slowish.

Not bad. A little tighter than I expect from 2/4 (which is what I'm
playing) but plenty of chasers.

>How hard is that bonus to work off?

Not too hard, although it's going to be slow for me since I play only
one table at a time. You young'uns who can handle more than that
should do fine.

The software is slooow and there's an incredible lack of features
(they don't even have a waiting list yet). Besides the bonus, what
makes it worth playing is the VFP program (you're paid to play).
That's quite an incentive to stick around.

im playing there now...based on my play so far I think the $5000 deposit
is absolutely impossible to hit in a year. 3-6 hold'em game pretty good.

I like the site and have worked off $3 of my $1000 bonus,  and am up about $20
overall. I really like the layout but it takes some time to get used to. The
games are not very full but the 2-4 always has at least 2 tables full. At night
there are more players but not many more. I hope it picks up. On Saturday I saw
David Benumine (sp?), the French pro that won on the WPT, waiting at the 100-200
table. I don't think anyone jumped in to play him. Anyway, much nicer that
PokerHost or some of the other new sites I have tried. Thanks King for the heads
up.

If I can keep up the 2/4 multitabling rate I've had on GamesGrid for the
last two weeks, I will probably clear about $3,000 in bonus within a
year. The word 'only' seems out of place here, but that means it will be
only a 600% bonus for me on a $500 deposit.

That said, assuming I clear that $3,000 in bonus with multitable 2/4
play, I will clear another $7,000 or so from the VFP. That means it is a
$10,000 bonus. (2500 big bets in 2/4.) The word 'only' is used as
hyperbole here, but that means it will be only a 2000% bonus for me on a
$500 deposit.

If I start playing 3/6 limit or higher (therefore pots are larger
therefore rakes are usually larger therefore my FPPs/week is higher AND
the VFP is paying me 50% more per week), the total from the bonus and the
VFP would probably be in the $16,000 range for the first year on a $500
deposit. That's effectively a 3200% bonus. Yoink.

And (plug coming...) when you sign-up with GamesGrid, make sure to enter
'ScotchRox' (without the quotes) in the "Referrer's nickname or promotion
code" box to be eligible for my own promotions above and beyond the
GamesGrid bonus. I will transfer back 25% of all rakeshare I receive
from your play for at least the first year you play on GamesGrid. And if
I can get enough players to sign-up using "ScotchRox", _I_ will host
periodic freeroll tournaments for my top-producing players.

Thanks,

I used you for the referral. When and how will we see the rakeback
from you?

And has anyone managed a cashout yet?

I must admit, I'm tempted - not only for the amount of bonus, but the
fact that it's paid in increments.

Hi Peg,

First off, thanks for using my name at sign-up.

To answer your question...

As I understand it, I will be getting monthly rakeshare reports from
GamesGrid. Once those start showing up, I will transfer 25% of the
rakeshare back to the player who generated it. (Just to set the proper
expectation: expect the 25% rakeshare transfer within a week after I
receive a report.) At this point, I don't know exactly when those
reports will start arriving, but I expect it will be soon.
