Basics to Online Poker Bonuses

Poker Bonus Whoring Guide


 

The definitive guide to online poker bonus whoring and becoming a bonus whore.

As poker has boomed in popularity in the last couple years, online poker whoring has also grown. Astute players have realized that bonus whoring can be very lucrative, to the point where 'professional bonus whore' have been created. Sites are usually more than happy to oblige because even Bonus Whores usually generate enough rake to make a card room at least break-even on a bonus, while they still get the chance of permanently retaining that player. Bonus whoring is not always easy, however. Each site has their own terms, requirements, and quirks that players will experience. Just because a site has a big bonus does not mean it is better than other bonuses available. These are issues that all bonus whores will encounter. This guide gives players all of the information they need to know in order to make the best use of their bonus whoring time.

Bonus Whoring 101 is a bonus guide for both new and experienced players whose main preference in poker is to bonus whore with the least possible risk to the player. Tournament players can check out the tournament grid. To bonus whore means to maximize the free profits and awards attainable from various institutions; in our case, this is online poker rooms. This bonus guide should give all players the foundation to make relatively easy cash, provided you are at least near break-even before bonuses. This guide takes into account game quality, bonus clearance rates and the ability to find a game at the games you select. The sites listed at the top are sites that you should look at first. As you clear bonuses, move down the list.

    Ladbrokes is a stand-alone site offering a 100% up to $500 bonus (available in deposits of $50, $75, $100, $200, $300, $400, $500). To clear the bonus, you must earn 30 player points for each $1 in bonus money. The bonus is the equivalent of 66% contributed rakeback at NL and 83% at LHE. After completing requirements, you must claim your bonus in the poker bonus section at Ladbrokes. Bonus is released into your account within 3 days of submitting claim. Bonus expires in 30 days. If you complete half of the full requirement of your bonus, you may claim half of the bonus. Occasional reload bonuses are offered.

    Ladbrokes Poker also offers monthly contributed rakeback up to 30% based on the number of Player Points that you accumulate for the promo period (which is usually for the entire month). 25 player points are earned for every $1 raked in pots that you contribute for limit cash games, and 20 player points are earned for every $1 raked in pots that you contribute for NL and PL games.

    Players must earn 25,000 points for the month in order to be eligible to receive 30% rakeback. This means that you have to generate $1,250 in rake to be eligible if you play NL/PL. If you play Limit, you must generate $1,000 in rake. Players accumulating between 10,000 and 24,999 points will earn 25% contributed rakeback. So you only have to generate $400 and $500 to be eligible for 25% rakeback.

    Make sure that you submit your claim form for rakeback before the end of the promo period (note: the promo period can change from month to month). This must be done every month you wish to receive rakeback. Players achieving rakeback of 30% during the promotion period do not have to submit a claim. Lastly, bonuses are not deducted from rakeback.

Each bonus has a fixed incremental release amount (25% of the max bonus) so make sure you choose a bonus that you will able to clear, or partically clear, during the time given. If you haven't played on the Ongame network before, it is recommended that you choose a small bonus (such as the one offered at EuroPoker) to get an idea of how much you can clear.

    Poker Loco is an OnGame skin that offers six sign-up bonus options that all currently clear at 10x. They are as follows- a 500% up to $50 bonus, 1000% up to $100, 1000% up to $250, 1000% up to $500, 1000% up to $750, and a 1000% up to $1000 bonus. To claim the bonus, go to the "News and Promotions" tab at the Poker Loco site.

    All bonuses expire after 60 days. You will receive 0.10 in points for every $0.10 in rake from pots that you have contributed money. For example, if the rake at your table is $0.90, everyone at the table who put money in the pot would be awarded 0.90 in points.  Poker Loco offers monthly reloads that do not require a deposit if funds are already in your account.

    If you haven't played on the Ongame network before, it is recommended that you choose a small bonus (such as the one offered at EuroPoker) to get an idea of how much you can clear within the give time period. See this page for the current bonuses available on the Ongame Network.

    You may have accounts at all OnGame skins.
