I e-mailed celebpoker to find out about their bonus before I deposited here's what they said.me:I was reading you're website and seen that you have a 200% match bonus. I also see that it ends on Nov. 7th. What I was wondering how much time would i have to clear bonus if I was to make a deposit? Thank you for you're time.Them:the bonus ends for depositors on that date and not for people who have received it. Once you receive it then it will be released into your real money account until completed. The average player, who plays on a $1/$2 limit table, clears the full $500 bonus in about 30 hours. The higher the table limit then the faster the bonus will be paid. Now here's the interesting part.me:D you can see aboveyou siad that I could clear this bonus in about 30 hours on a 1/2 limit table. Well I have played 1/2, 1 or 2 tables, PLO .50/1 blinds with alot of big pots, I have about 10 hours of of playing time on your site and I have cleared a grand total of 10$ please explain this!!! Them:I was checking into your account to see why you state that you have only earned $10 so far when playing for 8 hours on $1/$2 tables. I can see from your stats that although you have played some hands you haven't raked many of them. Your stats show that you played 806 hands but only raked 203 hands. Please remember that a raked hand is when you contribute towards the pot, even if it is with your ante. For every $40 in rake that you create, $10 will be released. 30 hours is an average and not what everyone is guaranteed to achieve it in. Well I feel they lied BIG time, at this rate it would take about 400 hours to clear bonus.Any feedback?????

They F'd you in the ass. Pull your money out of there. Usually, if a bonus is over 100 % , it means scam. That's my rule , anyway.
Can you handle my blog?

ive been playing on celeb for almost 3 weeks now, probably 50 hours of play or so on 25/50c tables and 10/25c tables and a lot of sng's, and ive only JUST gotten my second 10$, maybe an hour ago. its 40$ in rake to get 10$ back, and i think you have to be in the hand all the way to the end for it to count..their bonu sdefinitely favours high limit (2/4 and up) players just like fulltilts does. it took me a month to get my 50$ back in bonus $.

while celeb's withdrawls are slow (3 days usually) and their bonus is slow too... the site is worth playing on because of how easy the competition is.

Yeah site is pretty soft, but they told me 30 hrs on a 1/2$ table to clear full bonus and thats BS.BTW i'm also from NB living in PEI :-)

No offense, but you need to learn the difference between contributed vs raked hands. Contributed means that you have to contribute to the pot and then it has to be raked. These are some of the worst bonuses to go for. If you are looking for some good bonuses, check out bonuswh0res.com.

None taken but this is what they originally told me.The average player, who plays on a $1/$2 limit table, clears the full $500 bonus in about 30 hours. The higher the table limit then the faster the bonus will be paid.

$40 contributed for $10 back is easily the worst bonus I have ever heard. i don't care if support sends you chocolate and flowers, you should still pull your money out of there.go to www.pokersourceonline.comuse referral code goodmanpoker (or not, it doesn't change anything)sign up for Party Poker - $190 bonus clears in 1.5 hours of multi-tabling at 0.5/1.or, go to Absolute, Paradise, Caribbean, etc etc and clear bonuses a helluva lot faster. Absolute has high percentage bonuses that clear reasonable well at low limits. PM me for questions.And yes, if they said the average player clears the full bonus in 30 hours, they either lied, or assumed the average player is 96-tabling. and is LAA.cheers,daniel
