So I've always thought that the coolest bloggers were the ones with the
scoops-- like the kinds that get heads spinning (or chopped); even
before becoming a regular blog reader y poster I always admired
non-media sources of news, bloggers who grab the newsworld by the horns
and pound away...
:)
Can you tell where I'm going with this? That I'm practically peeing my
supergirl panties because I'm going to be able to be *the* first one
with this info?! Hehe.. okay okay-- so, guess who's going LIVE today??
GamesGrid Poker.
And why the hell is GamesGrid different than any other tomdickharry
room - upstart - get rich quicker skin? Why the hell is this a sc00p??!
A few humongo things.
One thousand percent. People
who get in on this need to join some sort of club and call themselves
the one thousand percenters, because this is freaking huge. This ISN'T
a 1,000% casino bonus, but a 1000% POKER DEPOSIT BONUS. And also not a tiny one-- 1000% up to $5,000!!!
2,309,766 bonus whores across the globe ::fainted:: simultaneously.
Deposit will be based on frequent player points, but totally clearable:
Based on being DEALT cards, not by contributing to rake unlike some
places... INCREMENTAL payments (no withdraw earned bonus dollars & lose the entire unearned
bonus b/c of a withdrawl) as the payments are $5/time (5 frequent player points = $1), and
bonus dollars don't expire for a YEAR.
I just wanna say, "we don't need no stinking rakeback!" Especially with
the rakebackers lately either being flybynite, shut down by their
parent rooms, or just being skeezy by earning hard earned cash off the
player-- this is a totally reliable way to earn cash over and above mad
poker skillz and not have to worry about some
rake-stealer-breaking-the-terms-and-conditions-of-the-parent-site.com
jilting you like some bad prom nite story :)
And our very frequent player program (VFP), the one leaked to 2+2 earlier last month-- earn up to $12/hour playing the games you want?? Yeah, its true. And better and stranger than truth:
VFPs are eligible to earn the bonus as well, on top of their vfp earnings.
Another 3,021,553 bonus whores and multi-tablers pass out, when they
realize that hours are per table and gamesgrid specifically will allow
vfp's to *multi-table*...
Now, we really don't need your stinking rakeback. :)
But... affiliates are a way of life
and times (see a billion of my earlier posts!) -- so they'll earn 25%
on their signup's net rake. For life, of course, unlike other lamer
rooms who will remain nameless only so I don't drive up their page
ranks.
And you have real friends
instead of a list of names to spam? :) Our refer a friend program pays
you the 25% for life of your friends who sign up under you too, same as
affiliate earnings. So call yourself a friend and sleep at nite, you'll
make the same $ deposited direct into your gamesgrid account as
affiliates do.
***************
So, what do you think??! Leave me a comment here and I'll have a little
contest-- I'll put together some back poker mag issues (All In Jan/Feb,
Bluff Feb/March, CardPlayer ?), a few vintage poker books I picked up
from the used bookstore (Sklansky on Razz, 1980 61 pages; How to Win at
Stud Poker 1938!! James Wickstead, 150 pages), maybe some of my
favorite chinatown sweettooth candies, and whatever else I can find.
I'll even put together a little knitting kit if the winner's interested
:) The more comments, the more semi-related stuff I'll put together for
the big oscar-mayer-winner. Maybe I'll get Boss to kick something down
the mountain, too... (probably only if I actually get some
*entries*)...
And, get a second entry into my vague *its 3am and I'm not thinking straight* contest by posting about rel="tag">gamesgrid
I'll end the contest next week (4/15) at 23:59PST, please no spam/links
for other poker rooms but anything else goes as far as comments that qualify for entry. (Don't
try and hurt my feelers though!)
And by the way!! I am NOT an affiliate, I WILL NOT earn anything if you
sign up because you read this or not-- I'm just a superFan of this job
and these people I work with who've been working so freaking hard to
get this off the ground, and I wanna be a scoopy blogger :)
This also is not official GamesGrid news; just a rumor that we'll be live by 9am Friday ;)
Don't tell Boss, I'd hate to get in trouble for yakking about this, but
I can't help myself! We weren't supposed to talk about any of this til
launch day-- but it *is* 3amPST (waited to get under the gun for our
Hawaiian friends, hi Henri!) ... so I'm trying to get all of this under
a technicality :)
Oh, the race to be first!
