200 matches = $154.....
I guess thats right then  lol works out as 77% percent rakeback while you clear your bonus, sounds pretty awesome  |
If this is correct then I'd be happy to go for mansion and check it out.
I like Carbon poker a lot too but I'm a bit weary with it not being the safest choice as Chris states in the OP.
Either way my choice isn't going to be too committing.
I am a b/e player atm so a good deal will help me tons.
If I choose mansion and clear the bonus then I could easily withdraw and go somewhere else right?

| 6.5 mansion points to clear $1 doesn't seem right at all, I'd be surprised if it's not 100 points per $1. I'd definitely check that out with them first. Ipoker bonuses normally clear around 20% at the most. |

Hmm I guess I'll send them a mail to clarify things up...
But they need to reply soon cause it's the 3rd day with no poker and I'm not working this weekend so I need to get a deal fast..
One more question..
Any of you guys has used one of those e-wallet services?
How do these work exactly?
Are they useful?
Are they safe?

Depends on the site. Fortune used to have pretty frequent 100% reload bonuses, but now you have to not play for 6 months to get one.

This is the answer from Mansion poker to my enquiry about their initial bonus offer:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing Mansion Poker. This is Angel from the Support Team.
To avoid any confusion, please bear in mind that tournament fee is different
from rake. As we mentioned earlier, you will earn points by the amount of the
fee that you payed in a tournament and NOT by the amount of rake that we
acquire in the table.
This means that if you will play 400 tournaments with a fee of $10 each, you
will earn 80,000 mansion Poker Points. So if the bonus that you received is
$1200, you will be able to redeem the full bonus amount. This is based from
the offer you saw in the link which is $1 bonus in every 6.5 MCPs you earned.
Please ensure that you will download the poker room from the link provided so
you will get the redemption rate stated in the offer.
Thank you.
It still looks like bullshit to me since a $10 match gives you 200 points.
So 1 $10 match clears $30 from the bonus 
Anybody can spot something that I missed?

yeah the support team is talking about a SNG with $10 in rake, like $50+10 or whatever the format is on iPoker. not a $10+1 as you are talking about

But they presicely said:

fee that you payed in a tournament and NOT by the amount of rake that we acquire in the table.
They even put caps on the NOT 
Either way even if it's rake they are talking about I will need 300 games approximately to clear my bonus.
If they have a 5% rake system (which I think they do) then this means that I would have raked $150 in those 300 matches and receive a bonus of $460.
So this is like a 300% rakeback
I still feel like there is a catch somewhere but I'm probably going to make a deposit tomorow and see what happens.

Basically the support agent seems to be wanting to clarify that if you play a $10+1 you are not paying a dollar in rake, you are paying a dollar in tournament fees, which ultimately is just semantics
And yeah your numbers are obviously way off.
You get 20pts per $1 you rake, and you need 500 points to get just $5 released, which means 20% rakeback from the deposit bonus. Any other figure or number is incorrect.
Even Betmagic's calculations are incorrect :p if you assume the $10+1 level you'd need to play 25 matches to get $5 back from the bonus, which means $0.2 per match.
Obviously they also give you like 30% rakeback on top or something like that, so it's not the worst deal in the poker world.
