I dont play on the Prima network apart from ladbrokes (Which I think is seperate from the main network??) but it seems quite tight overall so I would say unless your saw flop % is like 5% they have an obligation to pay you yur bonus as per their T&Cs.

I do not understand, but why do you telling me about %. Rules is a rules. They have a very clear and simple explanation about bonus abuse:
"Any players who attempt to abuse the offer by contributing ONLY the small/big blinds with no intention to actively participate in games will forfeit the right to claim any bonus chips".
That`s it.
Finally, PokerListings decided to give me an answer:
Thank you for contacting PokerListings.com. We have contacted Bet365.com on your behalf in regard to this issue. We have requested an explanation as well as a direct response to you. You should have a resolution very soon. Hope this has been of some help.

It seems that according to your account, you have shown practice of bonus abuse. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do as these are the rules of the room and do not affect our promotion with them. Please keep in mind that these rules are very commonplace among all online poker rooms. We have attached the response below from Bet365 Poker. Best of luck to you in the future.

Hi Steve
I’ve had a chance to look into the below player’s account. It is without question that he is a bonus seeker, with whom we were initially lenient.
Thanks
Matthew

This is only common at Bet365 and Intertops. Neither have the best attitude or reputation. Pokerlistings should be ashamed of themselves for promoting Bet365. If they are OK with answers like this from a poker room and continue to promote them then I would look elsewhere for poker rooms. The fact they offer a bonus and you accepted it and played the required raked hands is all that matters. I'm sorry you found out this way that this is how Bet365 operates. I would demand to Poker Listings to either pay you the bonus or remove them from their site to prevent other players from being taken.

Bet365 made money off of you and still has not kept their word. It happens all the time. They label almost anyone a bonus abuser.

This is a part of my initial e-mail, which I wrote to PokerListings:
Dear, pokerlistings!
I got a problem. You advertizing the bet365poker. First of all, I trust you and your reputation among players. But if you advertize someone, I think, you have to responseable for them. You have to check them and control
their promises or unfair action. As you know, this site do not pay bonus most of new players - why then, do you still advertizing them? Why do you put their link at your web site? I downloaded bet365poker through
Pokerlistings, made first deposit and played total 451 raked hands.
Two days ago I wrote to bet365 support team (with attached snapshot files of course) about my bonus release, but all, what they are demonstrate to me was a very strange behavior to their customers and their approach to make a business. "From England with love" - I think!
What PokerListings answers to me? - You already know it from my previous "Final Verdict" topic.
Thanks you again, man for posts and support. I`m really appreciate you!
I think, that our posts let other players to avoid my mistakes. Dirty tricks and poker room like this - must to disappear. Don`t play there and all of you will vote for FAIR PLAY!
