No response yet from 770. I used to play rush at FTP.

I registered at Titan. They are joke.
I made my account at WH after that, PS support told me I was late...

Complete joke as I see X(

My tickets from PS support:

Helo,
After I recieved ticket with First aid offer I made account at Titan poker. After all done, they imidietly closed my account. I have send them mail, and their reply was that "they don't exept players from my country". I see it as amateur move since they allowed me to fill my personal data, choose country from the list and fill my visa number.
I feel obligated to inform you about that , because I am part of pokerstrategy community and theese things are not just problem of mine, but of all members.
I am going to try to do same thing at William Hill now. Please erase my account from your db at Titan.

Sincerely

Dear doctorkgb,

I'm sorry to hear that Titan Poker closed your account and you are unable to receive the bonus. Also, William Hill is no longer available as an option and therefore we cannot transfer your bonus to this poker room.

However, we have recently launched a fantastic range of new offers for our members which you can take advantage of. Simply click the below link to look at what’s available:

New Promotions & Freerolls

If there is anything else I can help you with then please let me know.

Kind regards,
Darren

doctorkgb,
05.07.11 13:08: Ok, so that is something you should inform u about. Now I made account at WH also and you tell me that now WH is not an option???!!!!!!!!!
Also link you gave me is "not avaliable in my country".
Problem is not just because you won't give me first aid bonus and you offered it, it is also because you neglect what I say. My problem is that I don't want to open accounts at rooms and fill my personal information for nothing, you and your partners take advantage by not informing us briefly. And you should.

Here is part of the mail I have sent you at first. This part I don't think you have read at all! That is a problem.

I'm sorry if I misread your question.

I appreciate what you're saying and I will certainly pass on your comments to the team responsible for the promotions.

We are trying to improve the way we target our emails and promotions as we understand that there is room for improvement in the area. Although it wouldn't prevent registrations, it would allow you and our other members to clearly see the availability of the promotions at our poker rooms.

If there is anything else I can help you with then please don't hesitate to ask.

Kind regards,
Darren

So I can't conclude anything but that this was not professional at all.

P.S. Sorry for my grammar, I know it is horrible


doctorkgb,

I'll follow up on this tomorrow morning first thing and send you an email.

Feel free to email me first if you prefer though.

Best,

I'll give my own personal view on this (not necessarily the view of Pokerstrategy.com)

We as people are naturally very result orientated weather it is our nature or our environment that condition us to be that way. To be result orientated is specially detrimental in Poker. If you made the right decision and lose money, well you should forget about it and move on. Well in this case you don't even lose money, there are plenty of other great offers by many of our partners so if you don't get one offer look at the next one that is of interest.

Have a good day

Regards

Thazar

Sorry man, but you missed topic if it was referred to my post. I will make bold in post above what does matter. It is a problem when you don't get bonus, money or something else, but I would never post like this in that case. It is not simply problem large enough. Read again please above.

I applied for the $100 Stake since the first day the promo was released.
I have sent several emails to promo, info and support @poker770... not a single reply.

Bah! I think I just have to forget about that sh...thing. and go to one of the regular sites.

Thanks... for nothing

Hi hackbinder,

Good to hear you participating in the offer :)

If you sure you followed the guidelines which are stated here then please send a ticket to the poker room customer support and require more information. They surely be able to help you out.

Let me know
Ingrid

how come you guys blocked out the philppines for the 100$ staking? i was able to get the 50$ before and i wanted to try out this new offer but its not available for my country :(

Hi ,

We did not blocked out anyone :( Poker770 is simply restricted in the following countries: US, Israel, Malta, American Samoa, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Dom tom, Estonia, France, Guam, Israel, Netherlands Antilles, Northern Mariana Islands, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Romania, U.S. Virgin Islands, U.S.A., US Minor Outlying Islands, Italy

Ingrid

Im glad i live in ROmania.


Even though I was not accepted for the stake, they still gave me the $7.70 without me asking for it.

That was nice. Maybe I'll try them after all.

;)

Thazar,yes you have a fair point,but we are opening these accounts on the basis that we will recieve the bonuses,and by us doing so,pokerstrategy will earn their affiliate commission,so even though we won't get our bonuses!!!!the only reason we open the accounts,pokerstrategy will still earn there money,and that does not seem fair to me at all!!!!!


And to guys that are still apllying for this promotion,i thought it might be nice to let you know that they are no longer accepting players as they have reached the targetted 1000 player mark,would be nice to have this info from pokerstrategy.com itself but i hope it helps you lot that are only opening accounts to recieve the bonus.

Seems like they are don't know what they doing matteo,according to them they have reached their target 1000 people and are no longer staking anybody,so i have no idea why they would send you the email that they did......... plus this promotion was available outside of pokerstrategy.com,it was an actual poker770 promotion,you could apply directly through them,so tracking is not a relavant excuse,hope this helps you in some way :)

Poker770 would like to thank you for your interest in the « $100 Stake » promotion. Unfortunately, we must inform you that this promotional offer is no longer valid. Therefore, your application for this bonus can't be processed.

I got this as well, I applied way before the deadline that was shown in the latest news article, where PS said if I email them back after being declined for it I should still get it, instead I get this rejection email


Hi guys,

We've discussed the $100 staking promotion with Poker770 one more time with the following result:

500 extra packages will be distributed to all PokerStrategists who applied for the promotion by the 6th of July (inclusive). The packages will consist of:

• $100 stakings for 350 PokerStrategists
• 150 PokerStrategists will receive a $50 cash bonus from Poker770

These packages will be distributed according to life time activity, to applicants we are aware of and who fulfill the general criteria of the promotion.

All members who receive a $100 package will be contacted by Poker770 and will also get a ticket from us, as soon as the money has been credited. This should happen within the next 48 hours.

Playing under this staking deal means that the limits you can play are restricted; the details of which will be included in your confirmation e-mail.

All players who receive the $50 cash bonus will be contacted by us via e-mail.

Both PokerStrategy.com and Poker770 are deeply aware that even with this additional offer, not all applicants will receive a package and that this will be a source of disappointment for those affected. Unfortunately, there will be no additional packages in the scope of this promotion, other than those outlined above. Poker770 admits that they were too optimistic with this promotion and did not foresee the high number of accounts that used this stake simply for chipdumping. As a result, the number of packages had to be limited as a necessary step to ensure the integrity of this promotion.

PokerStrategy.com and our counterparts at Poker770 hope that we have at least reached a comprimise with these additional packages and would like to wish you good luck at the tables!
