Terrible Players, Easy bonus

I enjoyed playing at Betfair. I thought the players were subpar and just there to gamble really. I found very loose action. The software leaves a bit to be desired. I don't really like the button placement. And the site went down a couple of times while I was playing. I enjoyed my time at Betfair though and would recommend it to others.

Somewhat unimpressed with Betfair, to be honest.
In their defence, the software was bug-free and ran well, and there were always games available to join at the limit I wanted (as long as it was Hold 'em...).
However, the software was ugly, clunky and poorly designed. Player quality was relatively poor, although Aggressive players will struggle here, as the locals will NOT be pushed out of a pot, and bad beats are a way of life at Betfair. Somewhat unusually, the standard of the SnGs is slightly higher than that of the ring games, and the bad beats may be a little less prevalent there. Also, you get quite a lot of points for tournament entries, so if you're a tournament player, it's worth a look I guess.
All in all, Betfair isn't the worst site out there, just don't expect anything other than the vanilla-flavoured bog standard poker-room-by-numbers and you won't be disappointed.

Hello there. My experience with Betfair is fairy not much interesting. Its not a bad one, but not a good either. I couldn't use my pokertracker, so it changed a lot in my game. There are many bad players ( even worse than me :D ), so i did make some profit.
Overally, im not goiong to play there any soon. Thx for your points and opportunity to get in touch wit new casino.
Have a nice day, Mahut.

I was surprised how easy it was to get the points needed to collect the bonus. I doubted I would get it but after less that 2 weeks with one hour of playing each day I had reached the points needed for the bonus. Great!
the best thing with betfair is to me the resizable interface. You can make your poker tables as big or small as you wish fitting loads of tables on your screen. I havent tried or than 5 but that's more than enough for me anyway.

Betfair is using their own software which needs some time getting used to it.
The players are really weak in there. Seems that there are a lot of people trying poker for the first time.
The bonus is very easy to clear.
Only one thing is negative through my eyes.
Your account can get locked very fast and you need to send them a verification of your identity and residental address before you can go on playing!

I liked the site. It wasnt anything fancy, but it also didn't miss anything. The level of players was quite average IMO. But there seemed to be a wild wild night at weekends. Maybe I just happened to witness tables going loco at 2 different saturday nights. It was actually my first steps in NL world after a FL start of my poker career, so maybe it just felt grazy cause of that. Anycase, I doubled-tripled my roll at both times :)
I also liked the possibility to resize the tables to any size I wanted. The bonus is easy to achieve even in 10NL-25NL. I used mostly 10NL if I recaal correctly. I recommend to all bonuswhores.

I played NL HE 25/50. The software is not the best, although multi-tabling is easy. The traffic is quite low, so you can´t play more than 3 tables at the same time. The opponents are bad.

I don`t like this room at all. The Microgaming soft is very bad and it`s very hard to play there for players who prefer multitabling. You can find there a lot of "fishes" who would call you with bottom pair so be careful with C-bets. Besides a lot of cons this is extremely easy to clear this bonus.

The Betfair bonus is pretty easy to clear even in the small limits, it took me only a couple of evenings in NL25 to get the required points. The software is not so good and somewhat confusing in the beginning.

I was amazed. I played just one evening and the next day checked my point balance to see how close I was. As it turned out I had actually played more than enough to finish the requirements.
The players there are so loose. During my visit I had pocket aces a total of 5 times.....didn't win with them once. Not because I was trying to slow play, but because half of the table wants to play the pot even when its raised.
I was lucky to make a profit there, I did get a lock on the best hand a couple of times and got payed off very well when I did.
Highly recomend this room as a quick bonus, but expect some bad beats.

1) The players on Betfair are very loose!

3) The action is good, cash-outs are easy, and the PokerSavvy bonus completes in a day or so. Overall I recommend this room!

The software is a little bit strange at first sight and it seriously lacks some useful features. The opponents are weak but sometimes you run into some sharks and realise it too late. I played NL50 and cleared the bonus in two days so it is a really easy bonus.

Betfair was really easy bonus to complete. It took me 2 days in NL25 tables to clear. I give Betfair 4 out of 5 stars. 1 star is missing from full 5 because of the software and graphics. In my opinion they were absolutely horrible. But it wasn't problem because bonus was easy to clear and opponents were unbelievably fishy. This is bonus I can really recommend!

I think Betfair bonus is one of the easiest bonus to clear. Even in the NL10 level. Software is not the best one. And multitable playing is not possible with the old computers, because it takes so much of your computer power. The client looks very nice, and its easy to follow what's happening in the tables. And the best thing, while you are clearing your bonus is that you can easily double up your initial deposit because of the poor quality of the players. Betfair is a good starting point for the new low-limit players.

I enjoyed playing Betfair. The software has no avatars or pictures of chairs, which I found refreshing and clear. I played 0.50/1 Limit Holdem, and you can get to the bonus reasonably quickly this way.
Competition is mostly drunken Brits and aggressive Scandinavians.
Main gripe is the number of tables. There are not enough limit players to keep tables running all of the time, so I spent a lot of time on waiting lists.

This was one of the fastest bonuses i cleared. I got the points done in two days. The game selection on cash tables was quite nice. There was enough low level short handed nl tables to choose from and the players werent that great either. By 4 tabling and playing some sng tournaments I got the bonus done in one weekend @ nl10-25.
The trouble was with my registration. I had messed something in my signup, but by help of pokersavvy staff and betfair affiliate manager everything got sorted out and points are now on my account. It took a week extra to recieve the points, but it's good to know that both supports worked perfectly.

Probably the best pokersavvy bonus for micro limit players, over 300% rakeback. There are many bad players playing in Betfair. I will play more in there in the future.
Negative thing is that there are so few players at the same time. Sometimes you really have to wait for them.

The promotion was easy to clear, took me 3 days 2-tabling NL50 and didn't even play much during those days. But I actually didn't like the software, it was very different from other poker room software. The opponents were mostly very easy to beat, because they called pot size bets with overcards practicully. But therefore many "bad beats" happen because of the soft competition. On any other software I would be thrilled to continue playing, but this software made me cashout as soon as possible, because it was so bad, in my opinion.

The software was horrible. Didn't like it at all. It was good to minimize the playing window, cuz' I have a pretty small monitor. That was probably only good thing on the software.
Players that were there was awesome. So much fishes that you couldn't catch them all. Sometimes I couldn't understand what those idiots were doing. Ofc. there's always some regular player who bust you out every hand, so try to avoid them.
About the bonus, it was easy to clear at NL10/NL20 stakes.

Betfair poker room was quite nice place to play in. The only major downside was that there were quite few players there. A major upsides were the software and the leaderboards which they have for various stakes and game types. The leaderboards gave the playing an additional excitement as you could see (and be seen) how you were doing by looking the leaderboards. They also pay a monthly prize for the best ten players in each leaderboard. Nice!

At Betfair Savvypoints are earned easily. At the Nl50$ tables it took me only a few days of casual play to fullfill the requirements. The players are bad so you will earn some money and get horrible badbeats.
The software is functional but is designed in ugly colours. The support is good and the cashout speed was also ok.
Betfair points are only updated one time a day between 3h-4h at night (Europeen Time)
I can recommend this room to all Microlimits players who want to start with Savvy.

My trip to Betfair was a really profitable experience! The room is easy to use, and it has a pretty nice look. The only problem was that there are not that many players, so they didnt have big guarantee tournaments running all day, but the cash tables were fine. Getting the 250 points for the bonus was more than easy.

I think the competition in betfair was poor. And savvybonus was easiest to clear in pokersavvy. It took about 5 hours playing 3x NL50 6-max tables. I recommend this to everyone, its almost like free money. The reason why I didnt give 5 stars was their ugly ugly ugly, absolutely disgusting software. It is the worst software I´ve ever used.. If you need to change $100 to $300-400 this is the place for you!!!

Competition is very soft on this site, while clearing the bonus I made a $100 extra profit from the players there.
The SavvyPoints itself clear very fast, it only took me 2 days in the low limits (SH) to clear the Points.
I highly recommend the site, it was my easiest site to get Savvy Points on.
One negative aspect was, that betfair hadn't tracked correctly me to Savvy, although I downloaded through the link and entered the bonus code. After some telephone chats with their support they finally tracked me to Savvy and the points came quiet fast then.
Especially for micro to low-limit players, betfair is a fantastic opportunity to accumulate SavvyPoint fast.

Hello
Betfair Poker room was very easy to clear on NL 0.2/0.5 level and playing a few tournaments. Everything was working fine, not any problem. There was only one negative point, you cant see your Betfair points in table, those are able to see only in "My account" internet site. Cash table are very popular, a lot of players. I can recommend to everyone who needs easy points. Money transfer was easy and fast. Great Site!

I found the players at betfair to be some of the loosest on the internet so this was another great promotion. Even though this was a contributed rake promotion it seemed to go really quickly. The only down side would be the traffic volume at the times I can play late evening in central canada. That all said this is a very profitable bonus, it does take a few hands to get used to the crazy aggression though.

This was my first bonus with pokersavvy, and it was easy, fast, and also pretty fishy. I was playin micro limits NL10 and NL20, and it was very fishy there, Top pair 2kicker or mid pair was a reason for some to call all-ins. I didnt like the tournaments and the sngs there though, because there is not that much action, and the buyins are not very variable. All in all, its a great site to make money at for a cash game player, but not very good for a tournament player.

There are LOTS of fishy opponents on Betfair poker. They call big raises with cards like 103s or trash like that. But, in fact, if you are doing good, playing with such opponents is quite profitable!

My computer was really busy since their poker client uses so many system resources, so I couldn't multi-task or use my computer for anything else while playing at Betfair. Besides that, it was a fast-clearing bonus playing at $25 max buy-in no-limit tables. Took about 10 hours of playing. There are a lot of fish at Betfair, I recommend this bonus!

There were a few things I liked about Betfair, but there was also one thing that ruined it all. The competition was very soft and there was great number of very loose players. This means big pots and big variance but in the long run a fairly good player should be able to make profit. Another good thing about Betfair was their fast customer support and speedy money transactions. On the downside their software was really bad. Playing at three tables at the same time was enough to make the software stall and made playing painful. Also, the graphics are dull and offer nothing special.

I have never cleared a bonus this fast. The needed points accumulated very fast. Betfair's software didn't like my computer as it used 100% of my CPU all the time, but at least I could still play. There were a lot of fish playing at $25 max buy-in no-limit Hold'em, therefore you'll suffer a lot of bad beats since they draw with almost anything but in the long run that's ideal. The SavvyPoints bonus itself was very easy to get and I would recommend it to anyone, even to those who play micro-stakes games like I do. Go for it!

This bonus is very easy to clear. I play $100 max buy-in no-limit and it took me no more than five hours of multi-tabling four tables to clear the bonus. There were always enough tables to play. What I don't like at all is the graphical interface which makes it very difficult to play at more than two tables at the same time. I was often timing out and folding hands as the table which requires action wouldn't consistently pop-up when it was my turn. Anyway, there are so many fish there that I managed to double my bankroll in the few hours I played.

Betfair is one of the largest sports betting companies in the world. It's poker room is relatively small and the action is mostly shorthanded. There are not many players around, but the ones that are there are incredibly weak/loose. One Scottish guy called my reraise all-in on a 779 board holding 53o for $80 while I was holding pocket aces! The bonus is very easy to clear at $50 or $100 max buy-in no-limit Hold'em, I played at four full ring tables at a time for about six hours, I would have cleared the bonus even faster if I had been playing shorthanded. The software is okay, no major annoyances except for the lobby.
Highly recommended!

I finished this bonus within a couple of days playing short-handed $0.50/$1 fixed-limit Hold'em, at the same time more than doubling my bankroll. Competition at Betfair is as often as weak as it is aggressive, so expect high fluctuation of your stack. In the end, it pays out to play there. Their software is okay.

Players at Betfair are very loose, which probably forces some better players to tighten up a bit. There are quite a lot of all-ins at the lower limits, so there's definitely some money to get here. The software is quite slow and the windows are big and ugly. Multi-tabling is possible, but you have to overlap the windows on top of each other.

Betfair is a stand alone poker site linked to a large betting exchange. It doesn't accept US players. I like the software but it is a bit quirky and I have had some disconnection problems. Mostly no-limit Hold'em is played. The games are loose and passive, probably because of the link to the betting exchange. It has become one of my favorite sites and I have kept on playing following the completion of the PokerSavvy bonus offer. I had no problems withdrawing or depositing. The sign-up bonus is large but difficult to clear. I was given a small free bet on the betting exchange ($20). There are some good tournament promotions at Betfair.

This was a great bonus. It was very easy to clear, it took about two evenings playing at two $20 max buy-in no-limit tables.

The SavvyPoints bonus came very quickly, I didn't even know that I had met the requirements when I received them. I highly recommend this bonus!

Betfair Poker was my first completed bonus at PokerSavvy. Although I haven't tried any other bonuses yet, it felt like a relatively easy bonus to accomplish. The Betfair poker room was also pretty good, thought I didn't like the messy lobby and the tables, which were very different from the poker rooms that I have previously played at.

This poker room is awful. There are not enough players at any time of the day, very strange flops, for example three suited cards, straight cards such as 345 or something like KKK. This happens very often! I don't like that you can't see where other players are from. When I play $0.10/$0.20 I can't buy-in for 5$, I can only buy-in for $10, which isn't good because I like play with a short stack. Also, they have no good freerolls. One plus is that there are a lot of fish there.

I only needed to play 3,800 hands at $10 buy-in no-limit games to clear this promo. It was very easy and the players there are bad, so if you play solid poker you'll probably earn a few buy-ins on top of the 800 SavvyPoints. I only give Betfair four stars because their deposit bonus is hard to clear and the software is bad but my overall experience with Betfair is positive. Highly recommended!
Great bonus!

This bonus is very easy to clear at micro stakes games. It is one of the best bonuses I have seen and everyone should use this opportunity to get some easy SavvyPoints. Only disadvantages are the terrible software and the amount of bad beats!
Their software sucks, but the games are easy...

The games at Betfair are rather juicy, although the software was slow and resource intensive. Betfair points are added once per day. Just so you know, ID verification is needed before cashing out.

Betfair's bonus was probably one of the easiest at PokerSavvy to clear. That was nice, but I can't tell you how much I hated their software. If you have an old computer, there is an option you can select that makes it so the software wont lag so much, but it still did. I also didn't like the graphics at all. If you like the software, it's fun to clear.
Good Bonus, Bad Software...

This was my first PokerSavvy bonus and I think I can say that it is one of the easiest to clear, although I've got no experience with any other rooms so far. I needed only a few sessions at the $0.50/$1.00 fixed-limit tables and $20 max buy-in no-limit tables to get the required 250 Betfair Points. I award only four stars because the Betfair Software is very bad in my opinion, but the traffic at the site is okay.

My first bonus at PokerSavvy was at Betfair. The software looks a bit crappy, that is if you are used to Party Poker or PokerStars. But it works fine, multi-tabling is okay. The competition wasn't that strong, especially in the lower stakes Sit'n'Goes, it's full of gamblers. You can earn this bonus quickly playing Sit'n'Goes!

Betfair is a somewhat good place to play with lots of bad players. But, the software is so bad that it makes multi-tabling just too hard to do.

The Betfair Poker bonus is an easy one. I played $0.10/$0.25 no-limit at 2 tables. The other players are very loose-aggressive, you have to be tight if you want to win!

This bonus was very easy to clear, even playing $10 max buy-in no-limit games. I only needed a couple of hours to complete this playing at three tables simultaneously. The players are very weak and call a lot, so expect some suck outs. I hated their software, the windows were very wide and it was pretty uncomfortable to multi-table.
This bonus is VERY EASY!

Betfair's SavvyPoints bonus is very easy and fast to clear, I played at two tables at a time for eight hours across two days in $25 max buy-in no-limit games to clear the bonus.

Betfair's bonus was very easy to clear since you get 1 Betfair Point for every $0.10 raked, so long as you have contributed to pot. Also, this bonus is easy for micro limit players, it only takes a couple hours playing $0.50/$1 games. The only bad thing was that there are not a lot players at Betfair, but thankfully there is enough to clear the bonus requirements.
Nice bonus to clear!

Nice poker room to earn SavvyPoints at! The software isn't my favorite, but the opponents are very fishy! I played $.25/$.50 6-handed and needed around 10 hours to complete the bonus playing four tables at a time! Easy to clear, fishy players, nice room!

Wow, another great BONUS! But, I have to say that Betfair's software is so UGLY that it was hard to play. I really felt sick after playing one hour. But this ain't PokerSavvy's fault, so thanks again for a nice and easy to clear bonus. Other than that, there were not many players, so multi-tabling Sit'n'Go tournaments was almost impossible.
Very wide windows...

Betfair has some really weird software. The windows are very wide and it take some time to get comfortable with. Actually, I really don't like it because I can't multi-table without overlay or the resizable windows are so small that you need to put your nose on the screen to see anything. Beside that, the competition is pretty smooth and their player traffic is okay. The SavvyPoints bonus is easy to clear playing $50 max buy-in no-limit or higher. If you like the software, it's a good place to play.
Not bad!

Betfair has pretty decent player traffic in their no-limit games, but there are not as many limit games available. I found the games pretty soft. Their software is a little slow, and takes time to get used to.

This was the easiest bonus I've done at PokerSavvy. Earn only 250 Betfair Points to get 800 SavvyPoints. If you are trying to collect SavvyPoints, this is excellent site to get them from. They have a very nice bonus system also. You should try this one!
Poor software...

I had to play for three or four hours until I was at least a little comfortable with the software and could start multi-tabling. Although the bonus was quite easy to clear and despite 2 or 3 regulars, the competition was pretty easy. They only get three stars from me because of the problems I have with their software.
The easiest bonus you can get!

I have to admit that Betfair Poker is the easiest bonus you can get. You only need 250 Betfair points to get 800 SavvyPoints. Betfair gives you 10 points per $1 paid in tournament fees, so if you play 25 $10+$1 Sit'n'Goes, the bonus is yours. I didn't like the client because you can't see your money balance and you have to go to a cash table if you want to see it. But, the best thing at Betfair is that your opponents are loose and passive.
Great site!

Their resizable tables are good for multi-tabling. It's an easy bonus to clear, you only need to pay $20 in tournament fees. I cleared it in three days and only played for one hour each day.

I finished this bonus quickly playing $50 max buy-in no-limit Hold'em, but this site seems a little bit unusual to me... Players there were very weak, but they do not support PokerOffice or Poker Tracker.

I played $25 buy-in no-limit shorthanded games at Betfair. A lot of players sucked-out on me, because people there like gambling very much. I was able to clear the bonus pretty quickly, though. Their own deposit bonus is a joke. I don't think that anyone has the motivation to play through the whole $1,000 with such poor software. That's the negative aspect about this site: the software. On a 17" screen you can't even play at four tables without overlapping of the tables. Even though the games are really fast, the software takes the fun away. So, I guess that you should get the PokerSavvy bonus there and then cash-out immediately.
Very easy to clear!

This was a very easy sign-up to clear, even for micro-stakes no-limit players. Note that there are few micro-stakes pot-limit Omaha tables available. Very good place to begin your PokerSavvy experience.

I think the competition wasn't really hard, but most of the time when you had the better hand and your opponent went all-in, you'd still lose to the amazing turns and rivers. The software was a little different than usual. I didn't like that you had to login at a different window to view your account information. The graphics were good. Nothing to complain about. You just have to get used to it, but that's the way it is with most poker rooms. I played a lot Sit'n'Goes to clear this bonus. Within 10 minutes of signing-in, your Sit'n'Go of choice will start.

Not to good graphics, but I really didn't care about it because there was so many SavvyPoints to get! 250 Betfair Points take about 8 hours to earn playing $50 max buy-in no-limit Hold'em. There's a lot of SavvyPoints to get at Betfair!

This bonus is very easy and fast to clear. Players are weak, the downside is you'll suffer some terrible suck outs. Once I cleared the bonus, I cashed out and I'll never play there again. First room I lost money at while clearing a bonus due to everyone hitting their one outers.

This bonus is really really good, you only have to pay $25 in rake and you receive 800 SavvyPoints! But, I didn't like Betfair so much... First of all, they charge a 1.5% fee when you make a deposit. The client really sucks, it used up so many system resources that my computer's CPU fan went to maximum speed when I played at one of their tables. This is why I cashed out immediately after I had cleared the bonus.

Betfair Poker is different from the other sites I played at so far. The pros: The tables are resizeable and there are many sorts of games you can play, like turbo and super turbo tournaments.
The cons: With the lack of players there, you have to wait long until a table is full. Though the tables are resizeable, they have a strange format and layout.
Then the thing I really found surprising: Even with good cards you will often be beaten by the fish there. The good news is that the PokerSavvy bonus is not hard to clear, so try your luck at the tables!

While the SavvyPoints are worth it, the deposit bonus isn't. I would suggest playing Sit'n'Goes to clear the bonus because Betfair has a strange blind structure for their cash games. I really didn't like the Betfair software. It runs very slow on older computers and multi-tabling is hard. Overall, PokerSavvy offers a great bonus for this site, but they have bad software and bad players.

I found it very easy to fulfill the bonus requirements at Betfair, however the software is really ugly and the interface is horrible. The low skill level of the opponents is so surprising that I would continue playing there if the software improves.
Very good SavvyPoints bonus indeed!

This new promotion is of one of the best SavvyPoints bonuses at PokerSavvy. I did it in less than 2,000 hands at $5 or $10 max buy-in no-limit Hold'em ring games. I didn't like Betfair's 50 big blind buy-in structure, which doesn't allow for much actual poker play. The site was fishy and doubling up was not that difficult. I have seen people sitting with ten buy-ins! Their own bonus structure sucks, at 250 Betfair points you haven't cleared a penny. But the SavvyPoints bonus is big and easy, and therefore this promotion is a must-do!
Betfair Poker, simple and sparse.

Betfair was a fairly simple site with very few players. I found the competition weaker than usual, but it was hard to find a game. However, the Betfair points were really easy to amass. This site is good because it is just simple poker.

I play 6-player max Sit'n'Go tournaments probably about 80% of the time. Especially here, they're a great way to clear the SavvyPoints bonus requirements. $25 in tourney fees for an $80 bonus seems pretty good to me! The competition is average in the shorthanded $11 Sit'n'Go tournaments. It'll take a while before they fill up, since Betfair isn't a huge site. If you want quick action you can try the turbo tournaments. They fill up pretty quickly. The software is okay, and the tables are clear. There are handy "Bet Pot" and "All-In" buttons that will automatically adjust the size of your raise for you, but it doesn't work if you have already started manually typing in a raise amount. It's just a slight bug, nothing major. Also, User Account Control on Windows Vista will cause Betfair to restart if it needs your permission for something. Don't install any other software while playing! All in all a great bonus and okay site.

This is the worst poker room I've ever seen. The tables and the lobby look very ugly. Playing no-limit Hold'em at stakes of $10/$20 and $25/$50, the maximum buy-in is just $25 (50 Big Blinds) while you can take 100 Big Blinds to the table when you play $0.50/$1. I'm only giving Betfair 1 star because the SavvyPoints bonus was easy to clear and the tables are resizeable.

This is a great site. The software is quite nice, but you have to get used to the buttons. Tables are resizeable, and the players are very loose and soft. Most of them seem to come from the sportsbook at Betfair.
Very easy points, profit is attached to amount of players

Hi! I just finished the Betfair bonus requirements, so I would like to share some thoughts about the site. The 250 Betfair points were REALLY easy to get. I played 3 days, first day 2 hours 2 full-ring tables, second day 3 hours at 3 tables, and on the third day 3 more hours at 3 tables. The stakes were $50 max buy-in no-limit and I ended up with a total of 275 Betfair points. The points update after about every 12 hours, so don't panic if you don't see the points update right away.
Okay, then the site itself. The software is weird. It had a kind of modern and futuristic feel, which includes a ridiculous 'outer space' sound when you miss your turn or are going to sit out. Otherwise, the sounds are okay, the chips look like play chips, and the cards are too small in comparison to the size of the table, in my opinion. Also, you can only buy-in for a maximum of 50 big blinds at a cash game table, for example... At blinds of $0.25/$0.50, you can bring a maximum of $25 to the table, instead of the usual $50. Traffic was kinda low, but still I managed to play at least 2 full-ring tables, and one short-handed table. The action at both was good. There were at least 6 short-handed tables open, so if you only play short-handed, you can multi-table. Any profits? The first half I got outdrawn a few times and lost about a $100, but on the second and third day I managed to make some profit, ending up $50 ahead with 800 SavvyPoints for completing the bonus. The deposit bonus was not worth the time, 400 points for $10, released once per week. So, 2 stars for the bonus and the third for the site.
Bad software, bad players, good bonus!

The bonus (up to $1000) sounds good, but it clearly isn't worth the work. There are better rooms to play at after you have reached enough Betfair Points to get the PokerSavvy bonus. It only took me 2 days to clear the SavvyPoints bonus!
