Hey all! Been awhile, but we're truckin' along...
Quick announcement: Our hourly NL Hold'em freerolls are back from now through the end of September, $0.50 an hour, and only 3 players needed to qualify! Jump in anytime.
We're also leaving bots on easy 3-player sit & go tables, so feel free to take them for a spin.
And the offer above still applies; if you run out of chips, choose your cashback method. People have been contacting us privately for these, but we do prefer to have you post here to help bump our thread!
Topic: StrikeSapphire: 10% Cashback FREE. (Read 2098 times)
Sorry for the delay, we got your ticket 
username same as this 50% bonus please!
Heh, Thanks Bon!
Heads up - this evening, the BonjinBot will be hanging around for Sit & Go tournaments ($0.40 buyin) with 3-5 players... two are waiting to start up right now.
The Bot's lost about $10 so far, not bad -- not your fault either, Bon. Our code that picks what you'd do in certain situations still isn't perfect, and we're still gathering data. Not a bad time for players to jump in the game!

I'm Bonjin on StrikeSapphire.
Thanks Josh for this. It's really cool and I must say a bit weird playing a bot of yourself. It's an interesting way to play trying to double think yourself. It would be great to get a few other players with bots and we could pitch them against each other to see what happens.
Going to hop on now shortly. There's a freeroll going to start in about 10mins if anyone is interested.

Well, it's finally started... Meet the StrikeSapphire SINGULARITY.
You probably didn't expect a Bitcoin casino to be the first place your consciousness would merge with the great AI in the cloud for fun and profit, right? Or maybe you did? Either way... Bitcoin Land is full of surprises.
A little history. About 3 years ago I wrote a poker bot -- nothing too complicated, just something to keep people playing when no one was on the site. It's a pretty straightforward piece of RESTful PHP with a little monte carlo routine and a couple gizmos -- but the idea behind it was to be able to program its personality with nothing more than a player's hand history off of our site.
The first of our players to finally qualify for this - by having enough play time, enough status points, and winning enough poker hands - did so last night. A round of applause please for Bonjin... who just became the first player in casino history to have his subconscious mind uploaded into a poker bot of his very own! Bonjin played his bot for a bit, to test it out (we won't get into details, but it held its own) ... and now his bot is live in prime time, playing with our house money. Best part? 10% of whatever it wins goes to Bonjin.
Including what it wins from your bot, should you be awesome enough to get one of your own.
So... Want to have a bot made of your own personality, that makes money for you while you're asleep? StrikeSapphire is the only poker site in the known universe to offer it... and here's what you have to do:
1. Play at least 20,000 hands of poker in real-money ring games or tournaments (including freerolls)
2. Earn more than 10,000 player points since opening your account
3. Have a silver star
4. Have won more showdowns 1-on-1 than you've lost.
Think you can do that? Or have done it? Contact help (at) strikesapphire.com for more info...
BTW Someone voted we were slow to pay out?
If anyone had a problem with a payout, let me know; there are only two of us who handle all of them, and I think the slowest one so far has been 8 hours...

Hey Bitlane.
The requirements are listed first - it has to have been a deposit lost in the past week, no withdrawals since then, etc. Everything under "requirements" is necessary to qualify for either style of cashback.
By "terms", we mean what terms are placed on the cashback. Assuming you qualify and choose the 50%, it comes in the form of a bonus with wagering requirements (the terms). If you choose the 10% there are no wagering requirements, and the cash is basically a free win with no terms on it. Most casinos that offer cashback only offer it in the form of a bonus, usually a "sticky" bonus that can be played but can never be withdrawn and has heavy wagering requirements before even the wins can be withdrawn. The kind of offer we're putting in this forum is usually only available to long-standing VIP players at most casinos.
Sorry if it was unclear. I've changed the wording around Requirements to clarify it.

Just don't win too much or report too many bugs in the software or you might be abused by the owner and banned from the site.

Nota Bene, for players who follow this - for the next hour or two we're going to have our bots giving away cash on a real-money poker table.
20 January, 2013: We have just launched an awesome new Automatic Cashback system, which now replaces the cashback bonuses described in this thread. This thread is locked and is no longer applicable.
Update 6 January, 2013: Please Read. We are discontinuing the 50% cashback bonus with WR. However we still offer a 10% no-strings-attached cashback. This cashback is only available one deposit at a time!
StrikeSapphire has a brand-new promotion for members of this forum.
If you hit a rough patch on our games and the cash in your account runs out, StrikeSapphire will refuel your balance for up to 50% of your last deposit.
You have two choices:
1) A bonus for 50% your last deposit, with our regular playthrough requirements, or
2) 10% direct cash back into your StrikeSapphire account, no strings attached.
It doesn't matter if you used a bonus code on your last deposit. This works independently of all other bonuses†. Best of all, you can claim it as many times as you want. If you meet the requirements below, just post your StrikeSapphire username and which kind of reward you want to collect in this thread. We'll check the forum daily by around 1pm GMT to fuel your balance!
Requirements to claim your Cashback *(applies to either style of Cash Back):
• Your last deposit was for at least 1 BTC.
• The deposit was made in the last week.
• You currently have less than $0.05 left in your account.
• You have not withdrawn (or started a pending withdrawal) since the deposit.
• No more than 30% of your last deposit was lost in poker.
• You are in good standing with the casino.
10% Direct Cash Back Terms:
• There are no terms. This is free cash.
50% Bonus Terms:
• Our regular 30x playthrough applies to the bonus. All bets count directly toward the playthrough except those on Blackjack, Roulette, Craps and 5-Hand VP, which count at 20%.
• Winnings you earn from this bonus, and the cleared portions of the bonus, can be withdrawn at any time. However, this will forfeit the uncleared portion of the bonus.
• Our complete bonus terms are available at https://strikesapphire.com/tos.htm
The rules and terms are subject to change. Any changes will be posted here, and will not affect deposits made prior to the rule change. †As the cashback is independent from all other bonuses, neither style of cashback will clear leftover WR on an account. Prior withholdings on the account still apply if a bonus was taken on the initial deposit and wasn't yet played through.
Also, don't forget our hourly $0.50 freerolls, round the clock. See you at the tables!
