bonus 500$

Same here, It also didn't work yesterday. Now I've lost the code

something like MADMAY500

think it was mmay500

That didnt work for me :(

APRILFOOL500...

MAYM500

Where do you put this code?

Just done it, click on My Players Club at the bottom of the software. Scroll down and there's a space for bonuses.

Expire 17th July so 2 months to clear it.

what was the code oval ?

Ta, much Oval

Code Roy?

In tournaments Player Points are awarded based upon tournament fees. For every dollar taken in fees, 3.6 Player Points are awarded. For example, by participating in a $5 + 0.50 tournament, that player would receive 1.8 Player Points (0.50 x 3.6 = 1.8).

The number of Player Points earned in a month will define your Players' Club level. Put simply, the higher your level, the better the multiplier will be when converting Player Points into Store Points.

Have not got that far yet, I assumed it was the last one one the thread:

MAYM500

Lol ok
That code didn't work for me, either an error with my account or that's not it. Let me know if it works for you ta

Yup, just done it....typed in exactly: MAYM500

Took circa 23 seconds and it has been activated

I was out for 20 mins but Roy has the right code, I'm on RB and it was added BTW.

I haven't been playing here much so I may deposit and grind it out.

Thanks OP and Singlecask for bringing this to my attention, I would never have found out otherwise.

At a buy in of $11 you'd just need the 2083 tournaments to clear the bonus correct?

No, $500 is the maximum you can earn, it's released at a rate of $5 for every 75 pts (how much is that in rake?)

This is a very good bonus.

21$ rake per 75 points.
So 750 player points needed to clear the 500$ bonus, making 210$ rake and $70 ish rakeback.

Think that's correct

That should be 7500 player points to clear the 500$ bonus

$2083 raked > and if you get 40% rakeback that's $833 back in your pocket

I'm assuming this is on top of your RB?

All bonuses are there to reward the site but if you're going to play you might as well take it while it's going.

So to be clear, at an average buy in of $11 one would have to play 2083 tournies, which means paying $2083 in rake but you get $833 rakeback under the old deal so at the end you'd be:

$833 + $500=  $1,333

Sounds about right Roy, and a good deal if you're winning those tournies and making profit

P.S. Mine was added atlast :)

the bonus is even better knowing we have 2 months to do it.

Would really like some clarification from BF on this one. Gnasher will probably remember better than me, but there was a similar sort of promo thing a few year back where it let everyone opt in, but when it came to paying out they turned round and said the only people eligible were those who had been sent an email with the code.

BF PR any comments ? 

Anyone got the T and C 's ?

iremember the same as chip.

also,they took the bonus of yer rake,be4 giving u the cakeon what wasleft

if this offer is available to all,and without it affecting/reducing cake,it will defo get me back playing.

i'vealsotried code and it didnt work for me.

Has anyone generated enough points to release the first payment yet ?

I might have a stab at it one day over the Bank Holiday if its available to everyone.

copy and paste "MAYM500", it was accepted straight away for me.

I've only generated 20 points so it will take me a day or 2 to release the first $5.

Yes chip I have released the first few, but I did get the pop up message advertising the bonus

Are you on RB Bruce?

yes

not bF rakeback though

"Has anyone generated enough points to release the first payment yet ?"

Yep.  Got my first payment last night.  The $5 went in automatically.  I only noticed it when I checket my a/c statement.

Sorry Harry, I should have been more specific, has anyone had money that didnt get the email/pop up message ?

Why can't I post?

Just activated the code. Seems to have registered. Will see how I get on. On old BF cake - got Thursdays but only activated this code today.
If 30 player Turbos included with MTTs I may do enough in a month.

I didnt get the pop up but I am getting the credits going into my account.

Thanks to all who highlighted this, even pc plod.

Cheers Bully, still not sure how it will affect RB though but it's done me a favour bringing me back onto the site, I'll try and build my bankroll up again.

For these sort of promos in the past RB hasn't been affected. I think for anyone on a 30% RB deal it effectively  bumps it up to around 55%.

Whenever they have run anything like this in the past your bonus is taken off your gross rake and then you receive rakeback on the balance.

I don't know if that is the case here but I would suspect it is!

We got to the bottom of this?

Looks like I've timed my heater perfectly

I cleared the fist $30 of my bonus at the weekend and got paid out. Wont know how it affects my RB until next Thursday.

I'm getting my $5 each time.
As chip says wait see on Rakeback.

As my rebuys excluded I'm just assuring myself I play them for addded value.

God knows what Sunday's Championchip winner was doing sitting on my left in yesterdays $11 rehab.
Needless to say I do not normally worry about looking on OPR against my opponents in 2nd hour. Wish I had not been told. He/she said nought and seemed to get short stacked well short of the money bubble.

Not played too many turbos yet so this looks like one of the better ones at first glance.

Bound to be a negative somewhere.

oh bollox its a 5 thursday month i see
Cleared half the bonus so far, been paid it all in full.

betfair just told me this is only for players who had disconnection troubles in april,is this corect?

No.

I haven't played the software in months but I've worked through a couple of $5's.  It's only because of this why I'm playing again TBF.

Everyone had disconnection problems in April. Even if you didnt you could say that every time you tried to log in the site was down and they would have to believe you.

Is there any new one for July ?

You had 60 days to clear this one so mine doesnt expire till 17th July.

It seems to be having no impact on ****, so its a real shame Im running so bad.

Thanks for those responsible for telling us about the bonus in this thread.  Betfair said they had sent me an email about it but they had not, so if I had not seen this I would be not be getting it!
