I am about to venture into the Cryptologic Network for their monthly bonuses.

If they don't offer any refer a friend deals then this post will probably be ignored but if they do does anyone (DeeYaka maybe?) want all of them from me? Do they offer any sign up bonuses - they don't seem to.

Also wondered whether anyone had any feedback on the network. I know you have to wait for the PIN to cashout which seems a bit crap.

If you play in £, can you still depsoit $ without paying conversion charge?

Cheers

as far as i know there are no RAF promos at the cryptos except at Betfair....for some unknown reason, i dont have an account at Betfair

you can however get RB between 25-30% for Interpoker, Poker Plex, Betfair and William Hill at raketherake.com.......any bonuses earned are not deducted from MGR for these sites so its a win-win situation....RTR also runs special freerolls each month for Interpoker players - at moment, they're for entry into WSOP Lite package MTT, normally no more than 200 players, the last few months they were for special $8k and $10k tourneys......i got a referral code for RTR if u wanna PM me for it

Sun Poker has a 100% to $50 sign up bonus that clears along with monthly $40

Will Hill is prob the best one to sign up for first as you dont need a PIN to cashout. Having to wait for a PIN has the potential to be a disaster if you dont have funds to move around without your deposit but in saying that, i received each PIN within a week-10 days of depositing each time so u should receive one in pretty much the same timeframe

Ritz, TotalBet and UKBetting are only skins(that im with) that maintains your account balance in £.
You can deposit $ into the rest of them and play £ tables no problem - there is a conversion rate when you take $ to a £ table but its the exact same rate when you leave the table so theres no gain/no loss within the actual site itself.
the only problem with conversion ive met is when depositing/cashing out via Neteller.....by problem, i mean you're losing out approx 1.5% on exchange. If you dont have to cashout each month, just leave a balance and wait till forex rates may change slightly in your favour.

there are a lot of europeans playing on cryptos and Interpoker is my site of choice during the day....there may never be the number of games that are going at the bigger sites, but the players can be absolutely terrible, espec those crazy scandinavians for some reason

full ring is very tight but if you can handle 6max, then they are as good, if not better than at Party....this is true right up to 5/10

So if I pay $ into and out of a crypto from a $ based Neteller I pay conversion charge?

no charge for depositing/cashing out $ if both accounts are in $

charge only applies on Ritz, TotalBet, UKBetting when your deposit from Neteller is converted into £ as those sites maintain your account balance in £

its not technically a charge...more of an exchange loss due to Neteller using some crazy mad conversion rates :mad:

Ok so Ill leave those £ based ones and play all the $ ones.

Cheers for help

The cryptos also charge a 1$ withdrawal fee, no idea why but it seriously annoys me.

Don't use a RAF deal if they are offered, definately get rakeback since they don't deduct your bonuses from them.

I do interpoker and pokerplex monthly for 150$, and previously did Sunpoker for the PSO offer (Sun is the only crypto that deducts your bonuses from your RB).

if you request a cashout of $99.01, they will round it up to the nearest $ so you pay a $1 cashout fee but they give you an extra 99c......a 1c cashout fee isnt all that bad

Get Rakeback at raketherake and play Interpoker/Sunpoker/Pokerplex. You'll get $200 in bonuses every month + your rakeback (which should be inthe neighborhood of $150-200 a month), and you'll get enrolled in the raketherake freeroll tourneys and promotions. I've won $285 from these freerolls, played about 6 or so.

Good site if you play 7 stud or PLO, the limit hold em is ehhh, shorthanded is better, and I haven't ventured into their NL games.

Dee is right, the scandanavians are ridiculously bad, true gamblers. I have over 1,500 hands on 10 players who lose 40+BB/100 in PLO! Consistent players who lose that much!!!!!! and 8 of them are scandanavian, the other 2 have weird homelands like bed and mars.
