Well I applaude this site for what it does. I am someone who normally does not deposit to online poker sites so when I found out about this site I thought it was the perfect way to start a bankroll.
However, I signup and go through all the wait and hassle of setting up and verifying my account ID and phone only to find out that as I am Canadian I only qualify for 2 or 3 of the bonuses offered. On top of this I find out I cannot receive the bonus to any site that I currently have an account with. This means that I am down to only 1 or 2 bonus offers I can take advantage of and they are not from sites I want to play on.
The only bonus I was even remotely interested in was the Full Tilt one but I already have an account on FT so thanks for nothing Bankrollmob

Surely it doesn't come as a surprise to you that you cannot just create as many accounts as you like at a pokersite, to take advantage of no deposit offers?
Also it says at each of our offers that if you already have a realmoney/playmoney account with the site, then you are not eligble.
And, there's also a link - on each offer - to a list of countries not eligble for the offer. So you had all the information available prior to actual signup.
Finally, on the signup form it says: "Our no-deposit poker bonuses are only available for certain countries. All other countries will have access to our no-deposit casino bankrolls as well as our great gift and deposit poker bankrolls."
So I believe we do all we can to inform as much as possible.

Thank you for all the information I already know administrator you have been such a big help.
I know I can't create as many accounts as I want on poker sites thanks. Wouldn't be be very ethical would it. Forgive me though if I am slightly unimpressed with the way online poker and its affiliates do business.
Comes from having a pokerstars account that was utterly hopeless to play for the first few months I played it and when I finally start doing well it gets shut down in some massive move against me and a dozen of my friends with their own accounts for multiple account use.
So when I found out about this place in a poker forum I am part of I figured this would be a good place to start a nice bankroll for my FT account. Oh but wait I can't do that and your no-deposit casino bankrolls do not interest me because I am a poker player not a gambler.
So thanks but this has been a total waste of my time.

lol, you are funny, you waste your own time and try to make out its BRM fault, all the info is there and you claim you already know, lol, and on top of that some poker room says you cheat with multi accounts yet you try to do it again!!!! On a brighter note you still have a site that you can play and new offers come here quite offten, so why not try your luck on that site and if you do well move funds to full tilt if thats the only site you want to play.

hmmmmm... whats the issue? no deposit bonusses are for first time signups only. this is communicated very well. some countrys are not eligible for all offers. that may suck, but it is again communicated very well. you cannot blame BRM for it anyways.
when you come to the end that there is no offer worth your time, i have no clue why you decided to go all thru the sign up process. i think its highly appreciated if you give the BRM staff an idea how this misunderstanding came up; but i dont see much reasonable feedback here so far.
i however hope you come to the end that BRM might be not such a waste of time, even if there is no bonus at moment that matches your requirements. there is this forum a lot of people enjoy, the freerolls and also new fresh offers coming in from time to time. maybe you find the one for you one day. oh and bingo is indeed big fun!

didn't say I wanted to go back to pokerstars scl.
And I do not blame BRM because certain countries are not eligible that is the sites decision and if I wanted to play bingo or backgammon I would have come here for that.
I just find it extremely unfair that I cannot take advantage of the same offers that others do everyday.
By the way scl there is no need for personal attacks as I have not made any disparaging remarks towards anyone except b1gfoot because he called me a cheat without any knowledge of the situation.

I bit the bullet and decided to try CDPoker and I am already impressed by how quick the setup of the account and the deposit of the initial $50 bonus was.
