VIP Poker bonus?

Eric wrote this yesterday about Sun:

"Peeps, 

If you are planning on playing in the BPT, please make sure you signup through the link at www.bluffpokertour.com, this is how we make our money and are able to offer more WSOP seats.  If you sign up w/o giving Bluff credit we will not be able to provide as many WSOP seats.

Basically, supporting Bluff is beneficial for everyone involved in the BPT (Bluff, poker site and players).

Thanks for your understanding and support.

Basically signup through Bluff - win and the extra przes are your bonus.

Originally posted by Idahoboy Anybody know if there are any good bonuses for VIP?

I signed up thru the bpt link and a couple days later they sent me an email stating they would give me 100% match bonus up to $100.

edit They actually offered me a different bonus than I was credited. I feel pretty jaded, and will only be playing VIP during the BPT events. I was sent the following emails (How would you interpret them?)

Dear Jerry, I will match your first deposit up to $100. NBA season is here and this will get you started off right at VIPpoker. Simply make the deposit and reply to this email so I can issue the bonus cash to your account. We have different deposit options from which Instant check and Neteller are the preferred methods.        InstaCheck - http://info.vippoker.com/deposit_citadel.asp        Neteller - http://info.vippoker.com/deposit_neteller.asp If you have any further questions feel free to contact us at anytime.

Dear Jerry, Thank you for contacting VIPsports.com. We apologize for the misunderstanding. Yes, indeed you can have the promotions in our sports book or poker room. It is a 100% matchplay bonus. In the sportsbook the requirements is 3 times rollover. The poker rollover requirements is the following; You must accumulate 60 VIPpoker rewards points* for every bonus dollar issued before you are eligible to make a withdrawal from your account. If you make a withdrawal prior to meeting these rollover requirements you will forfeit 100% of the bonus. No time restrictions apply. If you have any further questions feel free to contact us at anytime.

I interpretted it as I would be credited with an extra $100 and would just have to roll the $ over (similar to bodogs initial $100 bonus). However I now am told that I will have to clear my bonus in $10 increments at 1000 points per $10. Shady marketing practices if you ask me.

There are too many online pokerrooms for me to have to play on one that doesnt follow thru with their promos.  Especially one that has such a low amount of players online at any given time.

3x rollover in the sportsbook is an awesome deal! 

I small a Celebrity death bet!

I'll take - Ozzy Osbourn as my first pick

Keith Richards.  Oh wait he's already dead.   He just doesn't know it yet.
