CelebPoker offers 500% First-Time Deposit Bonus

While browsing through the Internets I noticed that CelebPoker is offering a 500% first-time deposit bonus up to $500. Though the offer does initially sound enticing, I think this one would pretty much take the rest of your natural life to clear.

Let's dissect:
The bonus itself is released in $10 increments for every $50 in rake that you generate. The minimum amount of money that you can deposit to qualify for the promotion is $20, and the maximum amount that can be applied to this promotion is $100 (500% of $100 is $500) so with a bankroll of only $100 it can be (should be) assumed that you will be playing some pretty low-limit games. Last time I checked, the rake on micro-limits is pretty insignificant. To play higher limit games you have to either dedicate more of your bankroll to the site while clearing the bonus, or play at levels that are far above your means. Neither of which are a great option for anyone bonus-whoring.

That said though, if you are still interested in participating then you have until January 5th, 2007 to make your first deposit. As with any online promotion certain (very specific) terms and conditions apply so I highly recommend you read those first before proceeding. Some (not all) of these include:

Only One Real Account per player, per household. If you already have multiple accounts you are NOT eligible for the offers in your additional accounts. Any player attempting to claim multiple bonuses for which they are not eligible will have their accounts closed and any winnings on all their accounts will be null and void. All cash outs will be cancelled.

All promotions are available only once per person, family, household address, e-mail address, credit card number, and environments where computers are shared (university, fraternity, school, public library, workplace, etc).

In the event of any dispute, the decision of the Poker Manager or Boss Media AB will be considered full and final. No correspondence will be entered into.

Customers who are residents of China or Korea are not eligible to receive this bonus.

We reserve the right to change the terms of the promotions without notice.

The promoter reserves the right to refuse this offer to any player or to withdraw this / or part of this offer / promotion at any time
