Most players found out by forums that the bonus has changed as Absolute did not even bother to notify players. Affiliates also were not notified to change their promotional materials. The software still shows the old bonus terms and the skin's websites show the old terms as well. It is only noticable if you pay close attention to your play or dig into the T&C's on Absolute's website.

Absolute has pulled the classic bait and switch here and they are losing endless players over this. This weekend they offered 4 days of bonuses totally $1600 just to switch the terms once players started clearing the bonuses. Some players stack bonuses almost any chance they get. It seems they can no longer use their motto:



If Absolute does not honor their existing agreements with players there is no way the poker community will ever trust them again.
If the software still shows the old bonus terms and only their website shows the new, and they try and enforce the new...well, they need to be rogued asap!! What a crock...
