Just got home to find a beautiful home-made Christmas card in the mail, apparently from Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet. I guess I haven't been paying enough attention to realise that these two were connected in some way, other than both offering insane amounts of reload bonuses - it's basically free rakeback for everyone as long as you keep cycling money through.
I haven't played on Absolute for, probably, a year. Their bonuses attract a huge number of rocks - probably female rocks if their marketing is successful - so the games just aren't that good. My hand history shows nothing more than me dumping a free $5 bonus on blackjack in September. I've played maybe three or four tournaments on Ultimate Bet in total, never really got going on there after signing up because of some of the satellites they run. I've never had any freebies from them.
But in the spirit of Christmas, here's some free money! And not just a few dollars to my poker account with a play requirement before I can actually withdraw it... inside the Christmas card was a disposable American Express card preloaded with $25!
That's as good as real money. If only I could think of somewhere that will actually accept it...
