But was trying to weigh up the pros and cons of party,FT and cake as ill be spending most of my time trying to improve my position in the rake race i guess ideally i would want something that would guarantee me rakeback and i wouldn't have to put in too much volume but a site i could play for a change of scenery and a bit better table selection. I've been checking pokertableratings.com and it seems party isn't that soft anymore compared to other sites.
How long have you been a member of the palladium lounge? just trying to get an idea of how often these promotions run.
I've been palladium since the beginning of the new sistem, December I guess, since January for sure. The bonus was offered at the end of January.
There were also 2 other promotions, not sure if first one was reserved for VIP. It was called "Points mean Cash" and didn't have much of a value, actually it had less value than BONUS at shop.
The other one had nice value, but you had to collect 15k in two months to get about the same prize you would get if you bought 1000$ bonus in shop, next step was more rewarding, it was 20k points for 1900$, third step was even a better deal... you get the point.
But it was too much grinding, so I didn't take a shot at it.
Anyway, my suggestion is not to count too much on the Palladium Lounge. Your main arguments should be, fishy players, decent bonuses in shop, good software for multitabling. Cons - less rakeback than some other sites (bonuses in shop are aprox. 15-20% rakeback).
