Hmm, interesting question, but I guess not to answer from any member here in the forum. Maybe you should try to contact the support and ask them about it. GL

That's really strange Rainman, Slovenia has been a member of the EU since januari 1th 2007 ! (as you offcourse now ) and shoud be treated as such. I hope BRM will sort this out for you, good luck Living in Brazil has other advantages, Tricolor

That's funny stuff Flip, lucky in many other ways, but wants that NDB. At this point I'd give up all bonus offers and a lot of other things if I could just play some SnG's. At least you don't live in the U.S. Rainman. Here in the U.S. they tell you that it's raining, but they're really pissing on your back. Just really frustrated that I still can't play any real $$ games. Good Luck to All!

dont know what EU has to do with you getting bonus at poker sites from BRM. like jess said its poker sites who decide which country should be eligible for which kind of bonus depending on the past history/ predicted deposits /signups from your country and not BRM. so if u got issue try contacting support of poker sites

Welcome, i'm sorry that Slovenia doesn't have any no deposit bonuses available. The decision to allow a country to get free deposit bonuses is not taken entirely on the fact that is a member of european union or not. There are other important factors that decide this. For example the number of players from your country it's one of them, i mean they are not tempted to give this offer if they have a potential low market. Other important factor is the number of fraudulent cases reported from that country on poker platforms like multiple accounts, banned poker software, credit card infractions and so on. Now if you can afford to make a min deposit, on many sites is just 10$ or even 5$ you can do that and choose a rakeback offer. It will count a lot when you'll play a lot of volume in the future to get some of the rake you generate back. Anyways you could email support to see whats what. Good luck!

Yup, typically that is what is happening. You are in the same boat as me. I downloaded many poker softwares years ago to see what I liked, unaware of no deposit bonuses, and so most are closed to me. A small deposit probably won't bust your budget and used carefully will last a long time, or better yet, grow! You can also try to win the draw here at BRM or crack the safe, and don't forget the wild and wooly freerolls!

I've been on a holiday to Brazil a couple of years ago and over there its custom for women to be the aggressor when it comes to seducing and picking up Looks like were on the same page (also read your other 'brazil' comment, 2 day ago)

@mahdrof - Living in a small country like Slovenia really has his advantages on the national freerolls that full tilt poker has daily. If on a large country or a country in which the population is low but the numbers of poker players is large the 2700 places to the national freeroll are alreay reserved with a day before the freeroll, often only after one or two hours after the registration is allowed. On the other hand if you scroll down on the list of national freerolls on full tilt poker you can see small countries or countries that don't have many poker players on which 10 minutes before the freeroll is starting there are only 700 or 800 places reserved out of 2700 in total. If you have some poker knowledge and experience i can guarantee you can always finish in money on all of them. So living in a banned country for many poker offers might have his advantages
) and shoud be treated as such.
