I believe they have a TIME LIMIT to complete the rollover.... and it takes a long time.
I recall sending them $600 for a 100% bonus a couple years ago and was able to only cash in about $25 of the bonus because I hated the software so much and it took a long time to clear the bonus.
This is from an email i got from them today regarding bonus money i have sitting in my account:
"For each hand that you play in (that is raked $0.50 or more and you must see the flop) and for each $1.00 in tournament buy in fee that you pay, you will receive 1 point towards the release of your bonus money. Once you have reached 75 points, $10 will be transferred from your pending bonus account to your available cash balance."
The critica language is in bold. Most bonuses clear when you the rake gets to a certain point, whether you are in the pot or not. This was a recent change to the Clearance Terms of their bonuses. It makes clearing their bonus significantly more difficult.
However, they still do NOT deduct bonuses from RB (Full Tilt does) so that means you are getting the extra bonus money on top of the RB. SO that is a much better deal than FT.
In conclusion, Absolutes RB and bonuses are the best deal out there for any of the major sites. The NL games (ranging from NL 50 to NL 600) are not nearly as easy as FT or Stars.

I couldn't clear mine. I got through less than half of it. There shouldn't be time limits on these things. I remember because of Party going so strong took me almost 18 months to clear my Ultimate Bet bonus, but it never went away. Now all Absolute got from me was the action I put in and with the bonus money gone I am just going to cash out.
Action wasn't exactly good. I do sort of like the interface and find 9-handed tables more interesting for some reason. But the bottom line is poker pretty much sucks online everywhere and I'm clearing just about everything out. I know everyone tells me about spots here and there, but on average the games are crap and not worth my time IMO.

i got screwed on the bonus deal so i have no idea on that but for all the advertising they do you think they would have a few more players....a lot of people there swear by it but it looks like a lot of people make 1 deposit and leave.......not counting the bonus fiasco their customer service is decent though
