Hello everyone,
I've been playing on this site called Yachting poker lately. Overall I like how the software looks: very nice graphics, smooth, easy to multitask. There are quite a few players and many of them are fishes (some of them also received the same bonus). The bonus itself is a €50 total bonus, €10 initial NDB and rest released by €5 per 2500 PPPs (not so easy if you play low limits).
I've deposited 10$ from Moneybookers, to have 30% rakeback and to withdraw my bankroll when I'd like. Support also told me first I only have to deposit in order to withdraw. They didn't let me when I tried to withdraw They said I have to make 3000 PPPs to release the initial €10 initial bonus and only then withdraw my winnings. I accepted that (after little hesitation ). I finally earned 3000 PPPs previous week and tried to withdraw the money from my cashier. Once again they denied my request, telling me I have to acquire 23.000 PPPs to release WHOLE the bonus and only then I can make a withdrawal. This is the situation now. Did someone else have to undergo the same procedure?

Usually in such offers there is a difference between the points required to release the next amount of bonus and points required for the minimum cash out. But probably you will be able to cash out your deposit, if you like.

You probably took some extra bonus when making your deposit and that's what they're holding you with. When i made mine i took no other offer so i wouldn't had to make any more play-troughs and was able to withdraw everything with no delay.

Thanks for the replies guys. I know I can cashout the 10$ I've deposited, they told me that, but I would like to deposit my winnings too, which I think I deserved. Besides, it is not even a lot - something like €45 in total (my deposit included).
@lukasb it's not an extra bonus because they are referring to 23.000 PPPs of the bonus of BRM. They want me to release the whole €50 bonus in order to withdraw. I think they have an issue against me, I don't understand what. Maybe they now have a new policy for the new players regarding the bonus.It's not fair if it's only me that has to get those 23.000 PPPs.
@Jibberish for now the only thing I can do is reaching 23.000 PPPs (which can take couple of months) if I want to withdraw whole the amount in the cashier. I've sent a lot of mails to them about this, but they don't want to back down, they won't let me withdraw the winnings.

i think the bonus expires after 2 months, so I'd try to release as much of the bonus as possible, 23k points is fairly hard to make just playing 5 or 10nl. I'm messaging support myself and I will post the the reply I receive on here when I get it

AThere is always a catch attached to these no deposit bonuses requiring you to win certain levels of points before you lose out or as usual you have to deposit before a withdrawal. It's not that bad, wouldnt youndonthe same if you wanted to make money?

No, I wouldn't. I would not fool people to earn more money. I would not change the terms and condition of a bonus nor hide vital information (for instance 3000 PPPs = 3000 PPPs, not suddenly 23.000 PPPs). The terms and conditions of a bonus should be clear, and same for all players.

Thanks mate. You can always send me a private message too, if you'd like.

Hello Jake,
Thank you for your email and feedback on the site.
Having received the €50 no deposit bonus (€40 pending bonus and €10 cash bonus) you must clear both before any withdrawal of profits can be made. If you look at the Bonus section of your account you will see the progress of earning PPPs to clear these bonuses.
The €40 pending bonus is cleared first in increments of €5 for every 2,500PPP and when this is complete the €10 upfront bonus is then cleared with 3,000PPPs. A total of 23,000 PPP is needed to clear both bonuses.
------------ they flipped the doomswitch on me after finding out i wanted to withdraw! arrrrgh, so many coolers actually took out almost half my roll lol

I never had problems in withdrawing at YP, I guess you may be trying to withdraw money that still isn’t available to withdraw. One thing is the money you deposit, which you can withdraw (minimum limits) whenever you want, another thing is the bonus money, available to apply at the tables but stick to some rules you have to follow in order to put the hands on it, I guess that happens everywhere. I’ve been very happy there, I got to €100 profit and I withdraw a big part of it, can’t say if it was all mine or also a part of the NDB I also got there, but I never had problems!

Jibberish, now I know I am not the only one that has to make those 23.000 PPPs. I really thought it was something personal. As you said - let's grind! See you at the tables maybe. Good luck. I usually play 2 5 nl. Nickname is drlrz.

Question ??
did you have to send id-card for your 1rst cashout at yachtingpoker , Fakiry ?
i got around 200 euro's there made from my 1rst deposit of 25$.. won some tournaments there lately...also running ok on the cashtables there..wanna build up to 400-500 euro then cashout...
but wanna know from other members experiences in cashouts..at yachting.
I got a small problem see. my id-card is not valid at the moment ..already applied for a new one. but will take couple weeks ...
thnks in advance.
sad you can't transfer funds among players at yachting as far as i know,,then a cashout would be more simple..
ps. i won 1rst place yesterday in the 125euro guaranteed for 55.75 euro's and a 3rd place in the double chance..proseries. another 10euro's shipped a couple freerolls...1rst prizes and some itm's...
took 20-25 euro's at the 0.10/0.25 cashtables few times from some dudes...overclassed them i guess and luck was on my side as well..
only thing that did not go well was my PLO game...only lost but not more then 4 euro's
on top of all that i got me some nice rakeback for 8.75 euro's...wish i could get same deal at pokerstars...
yachtingrakeback rocks !!!!!

Hey mobsters out there. For those who have the bonus on Yachting, and want to withdraw their winnings, these are the full terms and conditions of the bonus:
- You get 10 euro free on your account (No deposit bonus)
- To release the 10 euro bonus and withdraw your winnings you need to clear the upfront bonus first = 20.000 PPP in total (5 euro every 2500 FPP, very hard). But the bonus expires after 2 months
- If you cleared this upfront bonus or the bonus expired after 2 months - you still have to earn 3000 PPP in order to release the 10 euro bonus you got from the beginning.
- Only then you can have a possible withdrawal of your money
I am still not there yet. My upfront bonus expired but I still have to make 1500 PPP for the release of the 10 euro's.
no deposit this site, no trafic no point, i deposit and cant withdraw clear 30k point wtf, 100point=1euro rake, 300euro rake a can withdraw my money
Please find that the withdrawal you recently requested has been credited back to your Poker balance. In order for us to be able to process your withdrawal successfully you must first meet the following criteria. - You need to clear the PPP requirements on the no deposit bonus you received (30264PPPs) You can also view bonus status and PPPs once log in the software, click on VIP & Bonus (at the bottom right corner)

In this case this bonus it's really,really hard to clear and i think it would only make sense to get if you also want to deposit there and play at higher limits in order to make points faster...
Overall this would not be a problem but i do not think you can find action on higher limits.
