Bowman's? Anyone played it?

CanadaDave

Hi Guys,
I just played a freeroll at Bowman's poker, it is a skin of the bet365poker room. bet365 is out of england; but the Bowman's site is full of canadians, and international people alike.

I'm just wondering if anyone has played it (or bet365) and if they have an opinion on whether it is worth depositing money to. Unfortunately it isn't part of PSO, so that sucks. But they have constant, no requirement freerolls, with first place prizes up to $200 plus bounties as well. SO it looks enticing...

anyway just curious what everyone thought of it.

Cheers.

I havent' played bowmans poker but since bet385 bought them out a few things.... In the sports betting department do NOT be a consistant winner as you will get your limit's hacked and slashed. They have canadians there because bodog bought a few sports books etc and the canadians got sent there.

Bet365 is a rich company. They used to have monthly $30k freerolls which were sweet. If freerolls are what your after, I'd choose bet365/bowmans as my microgaming room.

You get your limits hacked for being a winner? That's crazy... well I stay away form sports betting, just poker for me. So I guess I don't need to worry about that. They have a deposit matching bonus I believe, I just wish they were on PSO, nothing worse than not being able to be a bonus whore.

Thanks for the info guys.

hey everyone,

i have not tried bowmans, but i enjoy playing in bet365's freerolls. 3 $1000 freerolls a day ealy morning afternoon and night so you can usually catch one. $365 freerolls have been on daily. the only thing i noticed was the $5000 weekly was only $1000 last couple weekends. you have to be prepared for high numbers 10-12k in each freeroll though which really sucks. the play is sometimes incredibly fast, just hit raise and you have the option screen back for next card. you will find other sites really slow after trying a few freerolls here. i generally have to do 2 freerolls at once or i get so bored waiting on good cards. ???

Hi CanadaDave, Hi Everyone,

I play at Bet365 often. It's one of my favourite site's. I have an ongoing bonus of ' Buy $20 get $300 free '. It has a raked hand requirement that I've only managed to clear once, but I'd have played there anyway so it's like a freebie.
Also, in the Bet365 Casino, I played Blackjack, and because it's such a quick game, I was betting far more than I ever did at the Poker table's, yet received no raked hand point's. When I complained about this being unfair, they deposited $20 into my account. So I quite like the site,
Good Luck

That's pretty nice of them... how exactly did you swing the buy $20 get $300 free? Is it like a rake back, where you get a percentage of every dollar raked deposited back into your account up to $300 total? IF so what's the percentage, I wonder how it compares to full tilts rake back.. i think that one is 27% or something like that

Hi CanadaDave, I've noticed that this kind of bonus is offered by most gaming site's that are of the Prima Network.
It was for new sign-up's only and was buy $20 get a $300 bonus free. Only in the small print it said that the $300 bonus would only be released in increment's of $20 each time you played 200 or so raked hand's. I also had the same kind of bonus at Pokertime Poker last year, only it was buy $20 get $1000 free, and at The Gaming Club it was only $200 so it differ's on each site.
Kindest regard's,
