Ive made deposit on Expekt poker (Ipoker) last month. Wanted to take advantage of poker gift on one affiliate site. So I got deposit bonus and FIRST DEPOSITORS FREEROLL. Standard. But when tourney started there was only 14 people registered! Prize pool was 1000$! So, for deposit of 10$ (I have made 50$ deposit but minimum 10$ qualifies too) you get over 70$ ticket First place was 500$, 2nd 300$ and 3th 200$.
Hehe nice Jovi! Always nice to win a couple of hundreds from a freeroll then withdraw it
I have done it a couple of times myself on Mansion poker but the fields were usually about 300-400 for a 2000 euro prizepool. But only 14 players is really great, nice timing sir

That's pretty sweet- I remember somebody on here quite a while back, talking about a first depositors freeroll with hardly any runners.. Can't remember the details - but it was a very similar situation..
I wonder if the next one Expekt will be like that too? Hmm...

I always wondered about those tournies when there's a guaranteed prize amount, if hardly anyone showed up - it does happen!
Nice take down man...might sign up myself..
Hope there's no problems cashing out
Expekt is pretty well known sports betting site and they do business for years. They was first site who offered Serbian/Croatian language I think. I always do research before depositing on some site So, there shouldnt be problems.

Gratz, what a nice bankroll push! But at this first depositor freerolls normally all ipoker user involved, with more than x-hundret players. Or was this tourney only for expekt poker players?

Might've been me, I got into an exclusive depositor's freeroll at Cake, $1000 Guaranteed and 27 players, Ft'ed for $200.
That's amazing Jovi, great news, awesome takedown. I don't imagine the next will be quite as empty now though lol.

that's nice. I always wanted to know what would happen if there are only a few people in a tourney with a fix price pool. Hope that I can also take part of one such tourney. good luck to all

Now that's a nice way to be welcomed to a site you recently join! I'm gonna have to see if they allow U.S. players. I know Carbon wasn't to baad since you could play in the "First Depositors Freeroll" for two weeks straight no matter how many times you won money. Of course I think first was about $150, but can't remember. Congratulations on the 1st place finish jovi!

Hey Jovi, nice take down......now you need to make extra money for all the sign ups the site will ghet following your 'promo' post on this forum thread!!!!!!
On a serious note, that is a fantastic result and one worth keeping an eye on as a way of making some good BR improvements.
