I've never claimed one single no deposit poker before, I might give it a try soon.  I saw utimatebet gives free $100, and what is the 2500 raked hand requirement?

[dirkemans]

it depends on the context, so you could be more specific as the piece of text you found that in?

but it definetly means you have to play 2500 real money hands, that you have paid for, ergo, putting in a  blind

Hi Taaadaaa - there aren't too many no deposits around as you may have noticed but HERE is where you can get free cash but there are no "instant" no deposit bonuses for USA.

Regarding the "raked hand" requirement, Dirk is right.  Where did you read this?  Can you quote exactly what it said?

Hi Taaadaaa,

Yes - it's telling you what you need to do in order to withdraw.  It's not telling you that you have to play 2500 raked hands to get the money.

I hope there not saying you have to earn a rake of $2500 before you can withdraw. That would be crazy, while 2500 raked hands isn't really as much as it sounds.
A raked hand is usually a hand where your dealt cards on a cash table, you don't have to actually contribute a blind for it to be part of the rake as Dirkmans stated.

Heh - $2500 rake before you can withdraw - that would probably take forever and a day to earn that...unless you were a big stakes player of course.

Thankfully it is raked hands.

ehm ok let me rephrase that, most poker rooms count you in if the rake is 0.25 cts. or up, if you dont pay the blind, but are dealt cards: sitting out or entering  a table, doesnt count there, and every stake that is micro, like 0.01/0.02, up to 0.10/0.25 does also mostly not count if you dont pay a blind.
but if you play  a hand, ergo pay  a blind, big or small, your definetely in:)

So Taaadaaa,

Did you ever take up the free money option?

I'm interested if you did as to how it went and how easy it was to get it?

a raked hand is a hand in that rake was taken. normally rake is taken when a flop has been dealt. 2500 is pretty much if you only play one table. following calculation:

1 table: would be 80 hands/hour. let's say 50% of them are raked hand. let's optimisticly calculate with 50 raked hands per hour. this are 50 hours of playing. so it is much more to work on as a nd casino bonuses.
