Enter the coupon code "MLP200PN" in the cashier with first deposit only. Bonus awarded in $10.00 increments, at 250 comp points per $1.00.    Note : When a player claims their sign-up offer or reload bonus, they will have a standard 90 days of play through to claim their bonus cash from the date he/she claimed for the bonus. Our full updated review can be found on our main Alternate Poker site : Poker Nordica Review Extra Bonus Information : - $1 paid per 250 comp points. - Bonus paid in $10 increments. - Remaining bonus expires on withdrawal For example, if you deposit $100, you will receive $10 of your bonus automatically everytime you accumulate 2500 comp points (250 comp points for each $1 of bonus). This will happen 9 more times until the total $200 bonus is paid. Please note : Once you have accepted a sign-up bonus from one Merge Gaming Partner then you are ineligible to receive a sign up bonus of any nature from another partner for 60 days from your last real money ring game or deposit.     Any questions, comments or information about this room should be posted here.

Rakeback Deal at Poker Nordica Please read carefully before PM'ing me about this offer I've arranged a deal where we can offer a 30% rakeback deal to our more prolific players at Poker Nordica. This is only available to our sign-ups through the forum and even our sign-ups from the very beginning are also eligible. As such, your 30% cut would be coming directly out of the forums commission and because of this, i will limit the amount of players allowed to use it. In other words, you need to be raking in a reasonable amount for the forum to break even on this deal. What this rakeback effectively means is that daily, you would receive 30% of any rake you pay playing Poker Nordica games. This includes Cash Games, Sit and Go's and Tournaments. For Example If you play a $5 + .50 SNG or tournament, you will get back 30% of the .50 cents. Obviously, if you are only playing occasionally or just forum games at Nordica, there is no point in you receiving this offer as your savings would be minimal at best. If you are a Cash Game player you also get 30% of any rake you pay, so naturally this offer could be of interest to you. Again though, you will need to play regularly to make the deal payoff. What To Do If any of you are interested in receiving this offer, please PM to me and we can discuss it further. So again, this is a limited offer through the forum and i do not want anyone getting upset if they are turned down. I would love to see more of you playing more regularly at Nordica to make sure we continue with their excellent sponsorship of the forum and i am more than happy to offer this commission back to those interested. Note : Any rakeback paid to players will not affect the money we add to the forum games. If we should be in minus over this, it will come out of my pocket although theorectically, if you are raking more, then the rakeback should be covered. Fusspilz Sounds very nice. Another 7 shots at the 500$ freerolls. Think I will download this one too and give it a try. These 500$ freerolls are a GREAT bonus I think. I'm not interested in any 100%,200%,... first-deposit bonus because they are designed for cash-table-players. As a tourney-player you don't really have a chance to meet the requirements. Many thanks for this useful information, Fusspilz. addam00 Hi its same as carbon and poker.com I couldnt download it casue it wouldnt let me I l lareday have two of the skins on here..

Hello Harry, I just tried to download it from your banners here but got an error "A Client of ... is already installed on your computer" Seems like I have to uninstall Poker.com or/and Carbon first. Maybe it depends on what operating-system is installed on your computer. I use Windows XP. Do you run a different operating-system or is there some kind of trick? If there isn't I'll try to uninstall the other sites. Have a nice day, Fusspilz. cerberi Re: Hi addam00 wrote: its same as carbon and poker.com I couldnt download it casue it wouldnt let me I l lareday have two of the skins on here.. But I play on carbon mostly then poker.com i tried to download also but wouldnt let me.For some unknown reason it says i already have it but impossible cause i only just tried to download it. harry_lime that's kind of odd. even though i have all 3, i am still able to download the site. just so i know exactly where we are : my process it this : 1, click on banner and go to the poker nodica website. 2, click on "download" under the poker heading. 3, this directs you to a page where you can again click "download" 4, when the download window appears, i click "save" and then select my desktop as the destination for the .exe file. 5, then select "save" and wait the the file to download. after that, when installing the poker room and asked existing or new account - i created a "new account" ! can you at least download the .exe file ? plus you may want to clear your "cookies" and try again ! Fusspilz Hello Harry, steps 1-5 work fine, but when I start the exe-file an errormessage appears. Clearing my cookies doesn't help. But maybe I'll try to uninstall both other skins sometimes in future. Have a nice day, Fusspilz. harry_lime Fusspilz wrote: Hello Harry, steps 1-5 work fine, but when I start the exe-file an errormessage appears. Clearing my cookies doesn't help.

Have a nice day, Fusspilz. you could try to make a new folder on your C drive and point the .exe towards that when trying to install. it could be that when you try to open the .exe file it automatically points to where poker.com is and naturally will then states you already have it. Fusspilz This also didn't work. But anyway many thanks for your help Harry. Have a nice day, Fusspilz. harry_lime Fusspilz wrote: This also didn't work. i'm in touch with their affiliate menager so i'm awaiting an answer to this problem now. i'll let you know when i get a response ! harry_lime UPDATE ON THE SOFTWARE ISSUE : for those of you that had problems installing the software, this issue should now be sorted out. the question and reply from their rep are below. please let me know if you are able to download now. my question : I have had 2 or 3 members try to download the site from our banners and come into problems when trying to install. poker nordica reply : Yes this was a temporary issue last week, which has now been resolved; players who previously have an account at poker.com/carbon are fine to signup at pokernordica.com. Amarillo4 I read on the poker.com forum that they are considering changing the times of the daily $500 freeroll for new depositors. They are thinking of playing half of them at a time suitable for europeans and the other half at the present time of 1.15 am BST. They also say new depositors will be entitled to play in them for 14 days instead of 7. If this comes about then I will be depositing on both carbon and nordica.

Thanks for the information harry, I think I will give this site a try in the near future. Have a nice day, Fusspilz. harry_lime * for those that haven't seen it yet : We will be having a $80 Freeroll to be held at Poker Nodica and is open to all registered users of My-Local-Poker. We will follow this with three $2 buy-ins with $40 added throughout June. If you do not have Poker Nodica yet you can download it from the banner above. MLP All Registered Members Freeroll harry_lime Poker Nordica have now extended their bonus $500 freeroll period from 7 to 14 days - see details in the top post ! The times have also been changed to be much more friendly to both US and European players. Also of interest is that they will be having 2 satellites to a WSOP Grand Final to be held on June 2nd. Both games are $11 buy-ins and will be held on June 1st and June 2nd before the manin event. These 2 satellites will be only available on Poker Nordica so could well have relatively small fields. Could be worth a look ! muratore do you know if it is 14 or 7 freerolls for a new depositor to play over the 14 day period? what i mean is.. can you play every day of the 14 days or is the coupon expired after you have played in 7 tourneys? i know they were thinking of something like that on poker.com long time ago, to have it limited to how many times you played and not time limited. am i making any sense at all to you? Amarillo4 The way I understand it you can play in 14 games. As half of them start around 1 or 2am in europe, you would have to stay up all night to play them (which you do not seem to mind ) harry_lime update : there seems to be some confusion as to whether this bonus period is still 7 days (as featured on their website) or 14 days (as featured through affiliate links). i should know a little later which is correct but it is probably better to assume that it is still 7 days for now. ....sorry for the confusion, hopefully i will have definative answers soon. harry_lime update : looking like good news. our rep seems to think the freerolls will be falling into line with the Carbon Poker promotion of $500 freerolls for 14 days. it appears to have been a problem of wording. i will post again when i get final clarification. Quote: Either case both PokerNordica and Carbon will have the same terms on the freerolls - but I will get this clarified ! Smcplay I just created an account there today and all I can say is that it is better than poker.com and carbon poker harry_lime Smcplay wrote: I just created an account there today and all I can say is that it is better than poker.com and carbon poker   welcome to the forum Smcplay. given you like the site, i hope we'll see you in the games we have at Poker Nordica this month. if you intend to, it would be great if you could start by posting your Poker Nordica screen name here : MLP All Members Freeroll harry_lime the final word : ok i've had confirmation that the deposit bonus is as we had hoped. here's the official word from the man upstairs. Quote: that coupon allows you to play in every $500 Freeroll for New Depositing Players tournament until it expires after 14 days. Ben Warren Brand Manager Merge Gaming Network brentmeister Hi harry, ive tried to download carbon and nordica but to no avail, i have them on my desktop but when i try to run them nothing happens and ive no idea why........ ive got it sorted harry with a little help from muratore harry_lime brentmeister wrote: Hi harry, ive tried to download carbon and nordica but to no avail, i have them on my desktop but when i try to run them nothing happens and ive no idea why........ ive got it sorted harry with a little help from muratore - thx mura. muratore poker sites have Live Support a few lucky mlp members have me brentmeister well live support usually take a few days, u answer in 30 secs harry_lime New MLP Deposit Coupon : Bonus code : MLPNORD. We now have a special MLP deposit bonus for our members using the bonus code MLPNORD. You still get 14 days of entry into the daily $500 Freeroll for New Depositing Players but now the 100% bonus on deposits up to $200 will go directly into your account instead of being paid of by increment amounts as normal. You will still have to accumulate the same points to withdraw this money but the benefit is that you can play your bonus cash at any time in ring games or tournaments and win real cash in it's place. You will also get entry into a $1000 freeroll when reaching 2500 points on top of the usual comp point tournament entries. stepgen Harry i have just set up a new account with Nordic and tried to use the coupon. However due to me having already had used a coupon on poker.com it says i am not allowed to anail of it. Hopefully this is an error on their behalf are not many will be able to take this great offer up harry_lime stepgen wrote: Harry i have just set up a new account with Nordic and tried to use the coupon. However due to me having already had used a coupon on poker.com it says i am not allowed to anail of it. Hopefully this is an error on their behalf are not many will be able to take this great offer up i'll pm you on this step and see what the problem is their end ! update : i've just been told that it shouldn't be a problem if you have accounts with other merge sites. they are checking out your account to try to find the problem stepgen. i must say, their support has been excellent so far ! harry_lime Our rep at Poker Nordica has told me that if this problem should occur again (see the post above) with any of our other members that they will be able to manually issue the coupon. This is what they will be doing for stepgen. Nordica think this was just an isolated issue but if any of you have similar problems, please just pm me with your Nordica user name and the date you deposited. Again, kudos to Nordica for dealing with this so quickly. * Remember this is only available to those that download through one of the MLP banners ! harry_lime IMPORTANT : There have been some problems with the issuing of these coupons so i would advise you all to hold off from depositing until i have all the details. Corncerning my questions into these problems i received this reply : I followed-up this with our Rep at Merge and yes they have changed network terms in regards to the deposit bonusing which I'm still waiting to find the full terms detail. I believe if a player has recently deposited on another skin in the network they are not eligible for a deposit bonus on another skin. This period may be 1-3 months, I'm still waiting on this to confirm. We did not want this term and we have objected which we are waiting to hear back from them. But until now I have been instructed not to manually issue coupons to players who are not eligible on this new network term. My reply to has been : Ok Chris, but bear in mind that those that have deposited have done so in good faith as per the terms of our agreement. If it is not possible to issue these coupons then i think Nordica should find some way of rewarding the players affected. I hope you can work this out but in the meantime i will ask our other members to hold back from depositing until you have your answers. I do understand that this isn't your fault personally, hopefully we can work this out so everyone is happy. The problems appear to be with the mother network more than Nordica who have been more than generous with their offers to us so far. I will update as soon as we get this cleared up. Please PM to me if you have deposited before today and not received your bonus (i know about stepgen and jerry so far). harry_lime UPDATE : Ok, Nordica have got back to me on the coupon issue and have manually given out the coupons to those that previously deposited. I asked if this would be the case for all our members and if i could post this information on the forum and our rep replied : I'm happy for you to do this as I can't wait on merge forever, when they get back to me, ill let you know, but in the meantime, any issues on using the coupon please let me know and ill manually add it. Again, i should stress that Nordica's support have been great in trying to give us the best possible deal and if you are thinking to deposit there then now is the time as our special coupon deal may not last too long depending on what the Merge company finally decide. So please PM to me if you deposit and do not receive your bonus (remember to use the MLP bonus code below), i will then forward your user name onto our rep who will sort it out. I know about stepgen and jerry so far and they both have received their coupons now kpjdjcj harry the 100% was not added to the account directly i deposited 25 and need 5000 comp points to release it as i said in a letter i sent to you it really dont matter to me as i only deposited on this site to play in our tournaments but other people should be aware of this thanks jerry harry_lime i did write in the top post that you still need to accumulate points to release the bonus but it should be available for you to play with if needed. i'm going to deposit tomorrow to double check this myself ! harry_lime harry_lime wrote: i did write in the top post that you still need to accumulate points to release the bonus but it should be available for you to play with if needed. i'm going to deposit tomorrow to double check this myself ! well i just deposited and got the bonus coupon automatically so i guess it's just the 3 month thing (see a couple of posts above) that is causing the problem. anyway, good to know it works and as i said yesterday, just pm me if you don't get it and we will sort it out manually for everyone. .....to those that have deposited - "i'll be seeing you in the depositors freerolls" ! harry_lime You may read rumours going around about the Poker.com brand name being sold (true) and what this may mean (conjecture). Preparation for this has been going on for some time now so the news is not a big surprise. For how long players will be able to use Poker.com software remains to be seen although i have not seen any information about imminent changes. Here is some info on the Merge Gaming Network, which host Poker.com, Carbon Poker, Poker Nordica, etc. Merge Gaming Poker Network Merge Gaming Network is one of the newest online poker networks today, formed in February of 2007. Originally, the Merge Gaming Network was headed by the poker room and network, Poker.com. The Merge Gaming Network is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission; which is the holder of more than 300 online poker and casino rooms. Even though the network is new, the player base is not. The software has been around since 2005 with the launch of the network Poker.com. Early in 2007 Poker.com made the decision to change its business model, and created the new poker network. The main reason for this change was the large difference in the Poker.com website, which is now no longer an online poker room in itself. The site now functions as a poker portal, with updates and news about poker. Merge Gaming Network is still ran by the same management as its previous network. shirun Hi. I have dowloaded nordica now. However before i deposit i would just like to know if there is a certain number of days u have to earn the bonus...or playthrough if u like. If u need 5k pts to get 25$ it would take some time to play for the max. 200$. So do u have forever to do this or only 30 days or something? harry_lime shirun wrote: Hi. I have dowloaded nordica now.

I am new in this forum. Was referred by shirun. She says its great and friendly in here I can see u got this great offer on nordica.

Cya around hi woopsie and welcome to the forum. you're very welcome to use the coupon bonus offer right away but you must download the site from one of our MLP banners to be eligible. if you have visited Nordica's website before, make sure you clear your cookies before downloading the site otherwise you may end up affiliated to other site. here's how you clear your cookies in internet explorer : - Go to "Tools" at top of page Then click "Internet Options" - Then click "Delete Cookies" and "OK" - Then click "Delete Files" and check "Delete All Offline Content" and "OK" - Then click "Clear History" and "Yes" Arsenal28 My epassporte account is all funded and ready to deposit. Now I've noticed that epassporte isn't even an option to deposit with at Poker Nordica anymore. Anyone got on information on why? addam00 hi I like the site... but the downfall is the cashout for us... since they got rid of epassporte I give it 6 1/2 stars out of 10 harry_lime Arsenal28 wrote: My epassporte account is all funded and ready to deposit. Now I've noticed that epassporte isn't even an option to deposit with at Poker Nordica anymore. Anyone got on information on why? i'll check with our rep and get back to you on this. update : i've just had this back from our rep about epassporte - This has been temporarily removed because Merge Gaming is in talks with e-Passport because there are now casino games in the poker client which changes the agreement that they used to have together. Once the talks are complete, this will be re-added. it sounds plausible as they have indeed been changing the client to include casino games. also carbon/poker.com have also temporarily removed epassporte so it is a Merge issue and nothing to do with nordica. hopefully it won't take to long for them to sort this out. i guess you have some funds there after yesterdays win so hopefully it won't be long before epassporte is re-instated. Arsenal28 Thanks for checking into it for me Harry. I can definitely make do with the winnings from yesterday for a while but am also looking forward to the MLP deposit bonus.

Know-nuffin Thanks for the encouragement Grant.   As Harry said it takes a heck of a time to put these together. It could be done to the game reports, but would need quite some set up beforehand. The script would be as per a game report I guess. But apart from us not having a video camera, I can see it may be awkward where to host the review. I'm not sure having loads of odd reports on youtube would be good, and MLP can't host video. I'd need more computing power for sure...  it is tempting for me to tryout my John Motson impression though.   harry_lime MLP Update : Our bonus codes have changed for first time depositors but it's still a good one. Now, instead of the standard 100% up to $200 (as advertised below) that most players get, at APF we get 200% up to $400 when using our new bonus code : MLP200PN ....read more in the top post. Also, for comp point players, here's an update of the 2 regular types of regular tournaments that you qualify for with 2500 or 5000 comp points earned over the stated period of time : Points Tournament - $50,000 Freeroll On the last Sunday of every month at 15:00, PokerNordica will run a $50,000 Freeroll that is open to all players who earn 5000 comp points in the current month. Points Tournament - $10,000 Freeroll Every Sunday at 15:00 (except the last Sunday of every month), PokerNordica holds a $10,000 freeroll for players that have earned at least 2500 comp points in the previous 168 hours prior to the tournament start time. Extra News : Double Comp Points PokerNordica now offers any player who sits down first at any real money ring game table will earn double "Comp Points" during a session with at least four players. The action is running from heads-up to four-handed, and from that point they can earn double "Comp Points" for every hand with four active players. harry_lime I'm guessing this will be across all the Merge Network sites, and i quote.... The release of version 4.4 of the PokerNordica software is nearly upon us, which is currently scheduled for release on August 19th. Here is a list of the new 4.4 features:   1. The lobby has been entirely redesigned to improve its look and functionality.          * Lobby has new table listing icons to quickly identify different types of games and tournaments.          * Lobby filters have changed - they are now popped up on every tab (instead of having a dedicated tab)   2. A Time Bank feature is now available for ring games and tournaments. Players earn an amount of time per hand that is made available when the player is facing a bet. A players time balance is per table and is lost when the player leaves the table.   3. Poker games updated to include new betting buttons (ie. multiples of the pot and big blind)   4. We've developed a new game, Euchre   5. Rebuys will be allowed at any time in Blackjack (ie. if you run dry half way through a hand)   6. Tags and Buddies has been completely overhauled. We now have 2 concepts - "tags" and "friends".          * You can see whether your friends are online or not. Tags you cannot.          * To become a friend, it requires both parties to send/accept a "friend request". jolub Nordia has just added Euchre.  From their email: New game developed * Euchre is a brand new game on PokerNordica which we have added to our large game selection. You can read all about this game here <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euchre> harry_lime Additional Bonus Offer : As part of our bonus code package (see first post) and running until and including March 2009, each month you will have the possibility to win your way to a major live poker event for just 10 raked hands.

Unfortunately, our game in December was the last of these as our numbers simple weren't good enough in the last game to justify running the promotion through until March. This is a real shame for the 7 or 8 wanting to be involved but i cannot blame Nordica at all for cancelling these, especially as we were the only forum to get the offer in December. We have over 60 players eligible but only had 7 players in the last satellite for a prize worth $550 - if this game didn't interest you, it's hard to see what would. A real waste of an amazing offer i think but at least we had a couple of chances i guess. Know-nuffin Aw that's a shame. It was a great deal that you secured from Nordica, unfortunate that it coincided with many other commitments that happen in December. Thanks for your efforts Harry. HOUSECATS Bad news I see. I thought this would go over big. Was very easy to qualify for a major tourney. Thought would be a bigger turn out for these games.

The number of raked hands will determine your place on our Leaderboard, where the top 50 will win their share of $1000 in cash. First place will increase their bank roll by $260! Note: The Leaderboard is updated every hour. harry_lime Rakeback Deal at Poker Nordica Please read carefully before PM'ing me about this offer I've arranged a deal where we can offer a 30% rakeback deal to our more prolific players at Poker Nordica. This is only available to our sign-ups through the forum and even our sign-ups from the very beginning are also eligible. As such, your 30% cut would be coming directly out of the forums commission and because of this, i will limit the amount of players allowed to use it. In other words, you need to be raking in a reasonable amount for the forum to break even on this deal. What this rakeback effectively means is that daily, you would receive 30% of any rake you pay playing Poker Nordica games. This includes Cash Games, Sit and Go's and Tournaments. For Example If you play a $5 + .50 SNG or tournament, you will get back 30% of the .50 cents. Obviously, if you are only playing occasionally or just forum games at Nordica, there is no point in you receiving this offer as your savings would be minimal at best. If you are a Cash Game player you also get 30% of any rake you pay, so naturally this offer could be of interest to you. Again though, you will need to play regularly to make the deal payoff. What To Do If any of you are interested in receiving this offer, please PM to me and we can discuss it further.   So again, this is a limited offer through the forum and i do not want anyone getting upset if they are turned down. I would love to see more of you playing more regularly at Nordica to make sure we continue with their excellent sponsorship of the forum and i am more than happy to offer this commission back to those interested. Note : Any rakeback paid to players will not affect the money we add to the forum games. If we should be in minus over this, it will come out of my pocket although theorectically, if you are raking more, then the rakeback should be covered. harry_lime Poker Nordica Upgrade Poker Nordica will be releasing a new client update, version 4.5, on April 1st.

Any one cash out from Nordica lately?. I make a withdraw a week ago and still waiting, talk to support and tell me that will look in the matter, will see. Too bad that a E-wallet take that long in there, i am sorry but i am thinking in not play the APF coming league because don't want to be tie to this site until Dec. , probably just go to blow the rest of the money there and uninstall the room. harry_lime L0gan wrote: Any one cash out from Nordica lately?.

L0gan Thanks Harry, but for me the wait is the most important, is a joke that even Poker 4Ever take less time to cash out. I can tolerate the 3 days that Merge say but when the other sites take 24 hrs for me, then have to wait more than 7 days to get your money is not what i need from a poker site.        ALTERNATE POKER FORUM Forum Index -> Online Poker Rooms Page 1 of 1
