PokerHost - Real Money or Play money?

I want to withdraw 50 U$S yesterday and the Pokerhost people send to me this e-mail:

Your withdrawal has been denied. Please read.

Dear Mr. Bottaro,

In regards to your withdrawal request, we need you to make a minimum deposit of $25, and play five raked hands at a $1/$2 ring table or higher for every promotional dollar in the account at the time of the deposit. You can release your funds as you play!! For every 5 raked hands you play one dollar will be released for withdraw.

At this time your request has been reversed and the funds have been returned to the account.


Is in all the poker rooms the same? (Excuse me for my English) Anybody knows?

Thank you

it looks like you havent cleared the bonus as yet

all poker sites have terms and conditions for the bonus money they give you...nearly always being that you need to clear a certain number of raked hands

Where did the $50 come from? Was that all that was in your account? In other words would the $50 clean out the account? Have you ever made a deposit on the site? Have you been playing for real money on the site?

Hi

I have 208 U$S dollars in PokerHost I won in frerolls (in two month I have 607,85 in differents poker rooms, but is "play money" today). Just for testing I want to withdraw 50U$S but I cant. In the last two days I was learning about the "RULES" and "withdraws".

You need learn about this, poker is easy (odds, bets, potts odds, is easy, the problem is get the real money in your hand).

Again, excuse me for my English.
