This is probably a stupid question and I think I know the answer already, but didnt see it clearly stated anywhere so thought I would ask. Partypoker now has a 20% reload bonus deposit going on. http://www.partypoke...bonusfeb-05.htmDoes this offer get cancelled if you withdraw any money from your account first? For example If I withdraw $100 today from my account and deposit $500 tomorrow for the 20% bonus is it still eligible? I know on PokerStars it specifically states if any withdrawals occur before deposit is made then you are no longer eligible for the bonus. Just curious. Thanks.

They do it regularly.It doesn't matter if you withdraw before or after you make the deposit.The biggest killer is that the bonus is only there for collecting for 7 days.If you go for the full $200 make sure you can play 1400 hands (about 23 table hours) in the next 7 days or else its a wasted effort

are you 100% sure about that? Another forum said if you withdraw during the bonus period before you have made a qualifying deposit then they will not count it?Yea I read that about the 7 day thing too. I cleared the other 500 rake one in 2 days. When you 3 and 4 table it only takes about 3 or 4 hours to clear 500.

Party Poker is weird with their bonus. I think you get your reload bonus. Even if you withdraw. As well sometimes they give you a withdrawal bonus as well. I withdrew 1600 and a month later i found 50 bucks in my account that had to be completed in 500 raked hands. The best thing to do is call them. Its not like your trying to scam them so don't worry. But calling them for clarity is your best bet.

FYI Here is the official response from Party Poker Bonus Support .. (summary is you can withdraw during the promotion period and still qualify for the bonus)"Thank you for contacting us.With regards to your email, you can make a cashout at anytime during the promotion. To get the bonus you just need to make a deposit before 2nd March 2005 in order to get the bonus. To get this bonus, please make a deposit using the bonus code BONUSFEB and you will get a bonus of 20% upto a maximum of $200. Since that bonus comes with a restriction, you will be required to play raked hands of 7 times the bonus amount within 7 days.A raked hand is any hand in which a rake (house drop) is taken out of the pot. To accumulate raked hands, just participate in hands (any game, any limit) where a rake is taken. There is no rake taken in tournament hands, hence you cannot obtain raked hands through tournaments. You can always find out the status of your raked hands by simply clicking on the ýCashierý button in the lobby, and then on "Bonus account". Have a nice day!"
