@ZhenMiChan:
The time delay for the $50 depends, but normally it should be within 24-48 hours. Sometimes, it's much quicker.
The Tell-A-Friend system is our way to grow. We prefer in collaborating with our members instead of spending the money on big marketing campaigns. So stuff like this TSL here is rather an exception 
With the Tell-A-Friend programme, you can bring your friends to PokerStrategy.com, let them get their $50 bankroll and earn a little money with it [e.g. to faster climb the limits].
You can get up to $100 per referred friend in the following steps:
Step 1: gathering 15 StrategyPoints - $10
Step 2: gathering 100 StrategyPoints - another $25
Step 3: gathering 5,000 StrategyPoints - another $75
You can cash out the earnings as soon as you reach $50. Cash-out options are currently PartyPoker, Titan Poker & Mansion Poker - but we're currently working on implementing Moneybookers.
You gather StrategyPoints by playing poker on your tracked accounts. For a $ of rake, you get 2 - 4 StrategyPoints. So the 15 and even the 100 SP are gathered quickly - we did not even closely recover the $50 when a player ticks 100 SP
5,000 SP are tougher, you basically need to survive really, while basically everyone can gather 100 SP. But still, thousands of PokerStrategists broke that number easily. Our 130 Black Members all got more than 500,000 SP lifetime.

I have a question about rooms.
I heard that certain poker rooms are easier or have more fish than other poker rooms.
I know you want to support all your partners, but can you give your opinion on this matter, and if there are any poker rooms where it's better to start out?
I heard that pokerstars generally has a higher average skill level than some other, less well known rooms.
Once you go to the high limits it's going to be tough everywhere of course.

Yes, the poker rooms are different of course. The dynamics change all the time however, especially when a particular room is offering a promotion that makes people from other rooms to migrate over. You can find sites which rate the various poker-rooms according to different criteria on the internet, and when you sign up on our site, you will also get a top-list of suggested poker-rooms which is updated regularly.

lol omg I somehow missed the email asking for id verification. Gonna send that tonight when I get home. Are there any other sites (or even specific articles) that you guys recommend?
|
Wtf, are Americans really not even allowed to READ the articles?

Their system is to unlock articles as you play more and accumulate more of their points (it will be how much you got in the last 4 weeks) so if you can't sign up for their promotional offers, you can't get points and you can't read any higher level articles (except the really basic ones which are not very useful if you already know how to play poker and understand some basic thoughts behind people's play).
Although I do wish that I can read higher level articles just to learn the theory behind it. I guess that's what subscription sites and books are for?

We offer that as well. You'll see that as soon as you hit diamond you have access to very advanced material. We are currently working with pretty good video producers and are even releasing videos with stakes up to NLHE $5,000.
The way we offer it is that you have to be a bit more advanced before you can read and watch it. We want to protect our new players. You can imagine what happens when someone who knows very little about poker watches a video on the highest stakes and makes the same fancy play without knowing why.
Of course it's also a bit of a promotion. If you play a lot we want to reward you with the best material possible. So as soon as you get things going you'll find there is more than you can read or watch on the site.

If you do not reside in the USA, then there is no problem with you using PokerStrategy.com.
However, please don't try to find a "work-around" if you do live in the USA, as we will (have to) do some checks and also might ask you for ID/proof of address at some stage. It's not great, and we don't like it, but unfortunately that's the legal situation at the moment.

Hi anybody want to be my referral?
Might as well fill in that space, I'm pretty sure you get points for it.

Well since the US has fucked me, I guess I can just thank you guys for sponsoring.
The apparent law causing problems
Wikipedia wrote:
Title VIII of the Act is also known as the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (or UIGEA). This title (found at 31 U.S.C. § 5361–5367) prohibits the transfer of funds from a financial institution to an Internet gambling site, with the notable exceptions of fantasy sports, online lotteries, and horse/harness racing.
Also, iNc, you might want to be careful - apparently the state of Washington is the only state that has made online poker illegal.

i signed up for pokerstrategy, like, 2 years ago, am i alligable to enter(the raffle) on that account?
|
i signed up for that too, also i dont have rakeback and i play lots of poker, and i hear people are making alot of money off rakebacks. How do you get one?!
|
Regarding the new Trip to the OSL Finals Contest:
1. When's the deadline for entries?
2. What type of personal identification is usually required for the $50 start-up capital? Also what will this information be used for/can be used for (terms and conditions of use)?
3. What are the conditions (on my part) regarding the use of this bonus-$50 account?
I don't really want to go though all the reading and quizzing just to find out that I don't agree with the terms and conditions of use, so thanks in advance.

Are you talking about our Tell-A-Friend system? In fact you don't get points for that. You get a real money for it. All you have to do is give your unique referal link to your friends on MSN for example and they can sign up. As soon as they start collecting Strategy Points your account will be credited with real money.

If you don't have rakeback and you play a lot, it might be useful to change sites. Simply start playing on another site and create your account through us.

1: Probably until the 30th. Will get back to you to confirm this
2: Anything like a driver's license, ID card, passport will do. Any official government issued document that contains your address is sufficient.
3: What exactly do you mean by that? The $50 bonus is free for you to use. You will never have to pay us back that money when you lose it. The only restrictions to it are that you can't bring all your money at the table at once(too high risk). And if you do not clear the $50 after 3 months, the $50 will be subtracted from your balance.
You will always keep your winnings though. Does that answer your questions properly?

That seems very strange. And frankly I'm puzzled by it. However, our support is probably able to sort that out. If you click here you can send them this question and I'm sure they will help you properly. If not don't hesitate to post here again so I can help you further.
