Welcome friends!
I am creating this thread to keep track of my upcoming Bonus Whoring escapades and to hopefully get advice from you guys along the way (or just cheer me on for morale boost).
My plan is simple, but pretty ambitious. I have been brushing up on my limit skills and am basically going to whore my way through the following sites, four-tabling the low-limit games:
Party Poker
Empire Poker
William Hill
Golden Riviera
Paradise Poker
Poker 333
Aztec Riches
Poker Metro
Royal Vegas
True Poker
Bodog Poker
HoldemPoker
Eurobet
BetonBet
Absolute Poker
InterPoker
Purple Lounge
Planet Poker
Nine Poker
Ultimate Bet
Doyle's Room
Victor Chandler
Bayou Poker
[url=http://www.flopturnriver.com/reviews/Online-Poker-ClassicPoker.php]ClassicPoker[/url]
Gaming Club
Noble Poker
CD Poker
Fair Poker
Poker.com
Pacific Poker
AND
Full Tilt... In that order.
By my projections, should no severely unfortunate downswings befall me, I should be able to Whore all of the preceding casinos in the space of 13 weeks.
Should I maintain a decent winrate (between 1.5-3.0 bb/100), and moving up in limit stakes whenever I have at least 500bb, I have set an ambitious goal of 16000 dollars net profit from this adventure.
I am posting this because I would like any ex-whores to give me any tips they have or any casinos with juicy bonuses that I overlooked, as I know I must've missed a few.
The subsequent posts by me will be updates to the status of the master plan, and I will post my weekly results.
My current bankroll is $583 in Party, which, of course I will be whoring first.
I will start tonight, and hopefully clear the Party and Empire bonuses by weeks end. |

| GL Renton, I look forward to see your results. I have only done PP, Emp1re, PS and currently working on Mart1ns Poker(Huge [url=http://www.flopturnriver.com/Online-Poker-Room-Links.html]Bonus[/url] that takes forever to work off at low limits, 825 euros of [url=http://www.flopturnriver.com/Online-Poker-Room-Links.html]Bonus[/url]...over a third of the way there)...save this one for later, if it is still around. |

Just a suggestion. Put PokerNow on that list and move it up there with Party and Empire. Its an extremely easy Bonus to clear.
Also before you sign up at Empire, check and make sure they are offering a signup Bonus. I saw on BW where one guy signed up through the BW link and Empire emailed him and said they were not offering any bonuses at the moment. I dont know if this included the signup or the IGM or epassport bonuses. I posted something about it on EasyT's 25nl Bonus list.
Good luck, hope you clear them all for the max plus. |

| My opinion is that you're going to be borderline suicidal after trying to go through that list in 13 weeks. Some of those bonuses clear sloooooooooooooooow. Especially at the stakes you're going to be playing. |

I love EasyT's smiley face key. Nice work.
Off the top of my head, let me recategorize them as I view them...
Party Poker, Empire Poker (PokerNow) -- Great system for $25nl, good value bonuses, far more $ than you pay in rake. 
William Hill, [url=http://www.flopturnriver.com/reviews/Online-Poker-ClassicPoker.php]ClassicPoker[/url] , InterPoker (UKBetting, TotalBet, Littlewoods, Sun) -- all Cryptos with some decent bonuses that mostly clear at $1&$2 tables. A bit more work than I like, unless the required table stakes are smaller. WmHill/Totalbet/UKBetting used to offer decent hourly bonuses, but I heard they were changing the deal. 
Golden Riviera, Poker Metro, Gaming Club, (River Belle, BetHoldem, Trident, Spin, wildjacks, Grandbay) -- Primas with easy bonuses -- now we're talking -- may (or may not  ) have trouble doing both GamingClub and River Belle.
Royal Vegas, (7 Sultans, Code, CaptCooks )-- Prima with sneakier clearing terms -- plenty of these 
Poker 333, Purple Lounge -- Prima with tougher clearing terms, Purple Lounge with a spotty reputation. 
PokerRoom Skins - HoldemPoker, Eurobet, BetonBet , Bayou Poker -- if you insist on doing these, Betsson has a 7x Bonus right now (why kill yourself with 10x or worse?)
Paradise Poker - stand alone that rocks -- Bonus clears better at 100nl
Ultimate Bet - stand alone WITH rocks -- the only people I hear that say nice things are people that start here.
FullTilt -- stand alone WITH rocks -- the only people I hear that say nice things are people that start here.
Absolute Poker - The free money seems endless, but I'd rather poke myself in the eye with something sharp.
Planet Poker - I hear that, besides the Bonus being hard to clear, the poker room is too small to reasonably meet the requirements
Doyle's Room, Victor Chandler - two halves of the same network, Tribeca. Not bad. The Doyle's side is 100% Rakeback contributed-type bonuses. The VC side is 80%. Good fishing, slow Bonus.
True Poker, Noble Poker, CD Poker, Fair Poker, Poker.com -- All of a kind iPoker. Big Numbers/Hard work -- might as well pitch a tent.
Bodog Poker - used to be great. Now so-so Bonus. Less than your rake.
Nine Poker - Action Poker, action points, never seems juicy enough to bother, but it is likely my ignorance
Pacific Poker - only one table at a time, but you'll get 100% RB on this Bonus, and it is faster than Doyle's because they rake you more often  Sometimes you can withdrw before finishing the Bonus 
Significantly not mentioned --
B2B's, namely Martins (600 euro), Staff (150 euro), plus 1000 euros in Refer a Friend bonuses, as well as 1000's in other, more pedestrian bonuses
Boss rooms - I'd rate many of these above Crypto and Tribeca and below nice Primas
Stars used to offer 4 or more reloads a year -- you might get lucky
On my list, but never tried - Tain Poker Network - whole bunch of Euro Poker rooms |

I play at Doyles Room and enjoy it. I easily cleared my 25% Bonus.
then again, I only depositied 35$ at the time, so it might be harder for you. |

thanks for the help people.
So far I am right on schedule, and about to clear the IGMpay Bonus for Party, and I am up 20 at the 25nl tables |

Ok, I was curious about Empire after reading on BW about them not doing a Bonus right now. So I emailed them to find out. My question to them was is there a new sign up or welcome Bonus for new players? Here is there reply. So make sure you check with them before you make a deposit expecting to get a Bonus, it might not happen. But that could change by the time you are ready to do Empire.
Dear Player,
Thank you for contacting us.
We would like to inform you that presently, we do not have any promotion running where a Bonus can be given but we do come up with many bonuses in the near future and if there is any Bonus which is exclusively available to you then we would inform you through mail. So we request you to please keep checking your email account for information in this regard. You can also view the "News & Events" section of the website to view the details of the bonuses we offer for that particular month if any.
We thank you for your support and cooperation in this regard!
Thank you for choosing us as your online gaming site!

P.S. This looks like a form letter almost. |

| Once you get up to 100NL, do Martins. You never know when it may go away and it's one you don't want to miss. |

Renton's Whoring Adventure Day two...
Good news and bad news today.
Bad news first: PartyPoker is not making with the PokerPlayers Alliance %20 Bonus. This really sucks, because it puts me behind schedule (I was wanting to clear out party and Empire during Week 1). I registered with PPA and they aren't giving me the Bonus. Support claims I didn't put in the 10 digit deposit code (bullshit).
Good news: I am running great! After a horrific day yesterday of grinding my wheels at 25nl for 3 hours and making 4 bucks , factoring in todays session I am running at 16.35bb/100 for the first 1500 hands since I started this.
Starting BR: 583.00
Current BR: 760.03 
EDIT: The PPA Bonus was added! Woohoo! |

| Sorry to burst your over ambitious bubble, but you aren't going to make 16K in 13 weeks. I think a 1/3 of that is reasonable, but I'd still be suprised if you did. |

You're such a party pooper.
P.S. And so right at the same time. |

You'll be kissing these rings in 13 weeks.

I'd Like to just mention that for some reason Doyles Room has been extremley laggy for me over the last 5 or so days.
I believe this is a problem on their end not mine, but you can still give it a try. I got mad and took all my money off their site tho because if they can't fix lag in this amount of time, fuck them bitches. |

Renton's Whoring Adventure Day three... (of 91)
Another very proactive day of whoring. I cleared the 7x PPA Bonus for Party Poker, and ran a clean 12bb/100 5-tabling 25nl for 1000 hands.
Now I just gotta take care of the epassporte Bonus and its goodbye Party Poker! However, my cashout is lagging so I am going to go ahead and set some things in motion for Empire so I can get started there concurrently.
Starting BR: 583.00
Current BR: 924.11
Net gain for day: 164.08 |

| Did you see Rabiddog's very kind notice above? Looks like Empire might not be working quite right. Don't blow a signup Bonus by depositing until you see an Empire offer with a code. |

Renton's Whoring Adventure Day five... (of 91)
Had a pretty interesting day today. I began whoring PokerNOW instead of Empire (thanks RabidDog), and it went OK. I put in a two hour session this afternoon fourtabling the 25nl for the welcome Bonus, and had a horrible session. I had about 40 pocket pairs and only hit one set (and won like two bucks). The session ended down like 50 bucks. I felt pretty crappy about it and went and got a bite to eat somewhere and came back to it refreshed and ready for revenge. A word to the wise: don't ever play poker on an empty stomach. I put in another two hour session to finish up the Bonus, and in the first hour I managed to win my two buyins back with a little interest.
I was about to call it quits, having cleared the 100 dollar Bonus and having a generally breakeven day at the tables (like 1.5bb/100), and then I just happened to stack a couple of people right before I cut out
Starting BR: 583.00
Current BR: 1055.15
Net gain for day: 131.04
Woohoo! My goal of 1k for week one, reached two days early! |
