Definately was easy to get the free $20 bonusPKR offered. Got 2 $10+1 tickets as the bonus.
Not a huge fan of the software, the player base is really small and tables take quite a while to fill up. On top of that, I wasn't aware that the tickets you got for signing up had an expiry date. I used 1 right away and cashed big in an MTT but the second 1 expired before I could use it. I contacted their chat support about it and the lady was rather rude and unhelpful. Even after I told her "I would withdrawl and never play again" she refused to do anything. Poor customer service in my eyes.

Thanks for sharing, you menioned something about the software, did you tried the 2d version of the software too or just the 3d version
Unfortunately i'm not eligible for the free 20 dollars on PKR but i wanted to make a first deposit there because friends said it's a very profitable platform and now you can multi-table since it also has a 2d version available
Another thing that i don't know if it's i can use holdem manager on the site, i was sure it can't be used on the 3d version...

I just tried the 3d version, wasn't even aware there was a 2d option lol.I don't think HEM is compatible with it as there doesnt seem to be any options for it in HEM, I could be missing something though. I did try and use it during the tourney, but I didn't have any luck.
@Themachineqc, I had planned on playing one of their DONS for the second ticket since I'm primarily a 9man sng player and played a tonne of the DONS on stars for a decent ROI before they converted to the lame ass 50/50's, but I waited too long so C'est la vie, I still walked away with a couple hundred of their dollars for basically nothing so it's all good

Thanks for the input but the fact that holdem manager doesn't support the 2d version of their software is a big no no to me....
Not that i can't play without statistics lol but i like that every session to analyze my game, plus i have the rebuy set on all poker platforms so it's pretty hard to see what you've won/lost by refreshing cashier every time....
Still, if it's a profitable poker platforms that you should stick to it, profit is always the best thing in poker

Hey.
I got a mail three days ago who said that my tickets should be on my account or in a few hours.. But still there is no tickets.. Only 1000 points tickets that can be used on 1000$ freeroll only.. Why?

maybe you should contact BRM support on this issue, kinda weird thing to happen.

FYI: You can use the 1000pt tickets for the 10seaters SNG satellites also - top 2 places win a Master Stage 1 ticket worth like $2.00. It's better value than the $1,000 freeroll - It's pretty easy to win a ticket just by playing tight and then the actual masters stage 1 is incredibly soft - you're very likely to either win a stage 2 ticket, or cash for $1.80.

Posted by B1gfoot: I got around 30ish K I think, possably more, what does that get? (1-5 BI) Ohh and about time, profile next
30K PKR points ? It works out (roughly) to 1500 == $1.00, so if you're buying MTT entries in the shop with 30K points you'll get around $20.000 worth of entries. FWIW: you can buy into the $20(+$2) MTTs for 33K points (although only selected GTD games, there are unfortunately no generic typic tickets).
edit: You can buy into the Mini primetime events (really good games/structures) which are $5.50 events, for 8,200 pts. All the Mini Masters $10K GTD, $5.50 game also for 8200 ...
Other wise phase 1 ($1 BI) is 1500 pts and masters Stage 1 is 3000pts
You mean an avatar ?? Haha. Yeah - I guess so. TBH I think I just felt like picking a fight

Yeah, I must say the SNGS fill up GOD awful slow which is the main reason I didn't use my second ticket in time. I figured I wouldn't push my luck trying to ship a second MTT so I tried entering a DON but after having it open for almost an hour, I said fudge it. Overall, while the player base is super soft, it's also very small. Volume is king in poker and there's no profit to be had when tables don't fill.
The biggest issue I really had with PKR though was their piss poor customer service. Having worked in the customer service industry for around 7 years, I've become very critical in my expectations and they surely dissapointed me. I mean sure it was a free $10 and I'm sure somewhere in obscure writing, it did say it was a time limited bonus, but in my opinion that constitutes a poor business decision to turn me away like they did.
I miss the good ol'e days of 6 tabling the super turbos at full tilt so much, where tables filled almost as fast as you could blink. So easy to hammer out 100 games a day no problem.
