I remember when I signed up, I was able to receive all but Pacific Poker´s bonus, but now it seems that only Party Poker accepts bonus requests from Brasil. Admin, why is this so, why the sudden change in country acceptance?

You see, a friend of mine signed up here just now and called me saying that he couldn´t receive any of the no deposit offers except for Party Poker! Since I told him that he could receive up to about 4 bonuses, like I did. Oh well, guess my fellow countrymen will not be able to enjoy those offers anymore. The one and only sad thing about all this is that NO ONE does anything about it, and when I say does something about it, I mean, NOT EVEN A MESSAGE SAYING, hey all you brasilian cheaters, you have spoiled it for all the others. Or simply, hey brasilian brm members, your country is no longer allowed, so be aware before inviting friends to join the site and looking bad after they are denied their bonuses.

We can try to inform better in the future through news, but since changes are being made all the time in the deals we have with the pokersites, then it can be quite a challenge to always update. And one thing's for sure, we will probably never be able to do it upfront.
Usually when a pokersite wants to exclude a country from a promotion, it's either because of fraud/attemps or low player activity/depositrate - either case, if they want a country excluded, they would want it yesterday. If you know what I mean. So all we get is a "xxxxx will no longer receive this bonus", so we're lucky if we can process the countries already applied for the bonus.
Sorry about that, but as I mentioned elsewhere a few times, it's a tough business for all of us. If blocking one country will allow 500 other people from other countries get the bonus, rather than 50 from the blocked country, then that's what we have to do.

We must try not to forget that this is entirely free. Although it sucks that your friend cannot request the 4 bankrolls you did, he can still get the party poker one which is a good start

wow, what a harsh reality, anyway, is it possible for countries that are blocked before to be add to the allowed country list? i just hope that it is possible as i wasn't able to grab the newer bankrolls because of that.

Can you make specials exceptions? lol. Or is that too hard? Cause for another site they said
"If you are a serious player from one of these areas, please email us after you have played 30 days in the poker room, and the poker room manager will make a determination if you are eligible..."

Yeah, are there any deposit bonus alternatives for those like me who can't get no deposit bonuses. at least they'll be sure that we're active since we are going to make a deposit.

Eligble for what? I don't understand. If it's to get a no deposit bonus, how are you going to play there for 30 days BEFORE know whether or not one is eligble? It sounds complicated. I think in most cases everybody is better of with a deposit bonus or a gift bonus, like the 3 gift offers we have now (which will soon be expanded to cover almost all our deposit bonuses, im2good4u).

The other offer is for a deposit bonus but BRM could set something up where the pokersite could check how the person did with the other BRM offers. Like BRM could say if the member completed the no deposit bonus requirements from 2 other sites so he could be approved or if they lost all the no deposit money than they could be denied. Something like that.
Could be a little complicated and I don't know if I explained it alright.

No one forgot that this is free and if you read what I posted, which I believe you are inteligent enough to at least understand, that my point is about communication, exchanging of information, or let me try this one; a warning. It is about me telling someone about a promotion that has been changed without mine or anyone´s knowledge. Get the point?
Posted by lamerando: this is not from bankrollmob this is from Poker sites they don`t want to give bonus to that country and that is
If more people or countries are not eligible for the bonuses, hey, it is a reality and I can understand why, but like I said, no warning was given, no notice, no nothing. That is all I´m saying here.
) but yea that does suck for you and any other country that isnt allowed for bankroll offers.. specially if they once let you and didnt.. mayb a bunch of bad apples ruined it for the whole bunch?
