Oh, the 1st deposit bonus is 100%? Thanks. Why all these bonuses work so strange, got to email and stuff :p Can't you guys (from Betcoin) automatically apply a bonus? (or have no bonus and just lower the rake.) Also, I don't like to e-mail, can Betcoin support on this forum apply the bonus to me? (username: NLNico)

I honestly did not play some tourneys today because I don't have a bonus and feel like I am missing value while others do have that value. The tournament schedule does look really good, would like to play at least that big 300 daily and prolly most 5/10 chip tourneys.

The rake is already low.  The deposit bonus is to get you to ...........deposit.

They also have a rewards program where you can convert points earned from playing into btc.  It starts at 9% rake back and increases the more you play.  However you can't move up any levels playing only tournaments with the current schedule.  Cash games is where you pay the rake and earn the points.  This is the same on any site with a rewards program whether it is btc or $.

Yes, I understand. But now I already made 2 deposits but still I won't be playing today since I do not have the bonus. So not a great bonus if it discourages me to play.

Also I realize the bonus would be almost nothing as the tournament rake and buy-ins are small. But my rational mind just cannot accept that other players have 15% rakeback (basically that bonus is 15% RB right?) while I don't have that. Also apparently for the ~10+ tournaments I played I should have gotten that bonus too, so I kinda feel fked for that too (not for that 1 or 2 chips but just out of principle) THAT is why I said better lower the rake 15% then having a "15% RB bonus" as it has the same value for the players but less frustration. But perhaps if the bonus does work properly and automatic it can be good for "marketing" reasons.

Betcoin.AG, thanks for your reply, I assume you would send me a PM but I didn't get any. Also, I may sound all negative here right now, but actually I think you guys are doing a great job.

Thank you for your comments and we are taking all of the suggestions seriously.  We will be implementing some changes during the next update.  Thank you for the compliments as we are working very hard to deliver a great experience. 

Yes, ring games rake at 2.5% of the total pot size with a 0.01 btc (10 chip) maximum and no rake is collected on hands that do not make it to the flop. 

Myself i noticed that rake was quite higher than what is advertised. and headsup seems outragous.
