 Hi. I like bonuses. I'm likely to be playing 5000 hands or more of $5NL and $10NL over the next couple of weeks. Wouldn't mind clearing some bonus money at the same time.

Any ideas on which would be the best room to signup to and clear a bonus playing these micro-stakes (any with bonuses dependent on raked hands where they only count when rake reaches 25cents are obviously out of the question).

Oh, I already have party and empire accounts..
Cheers.

 I heard recently about cardozagames, with 200% uo to $600.
I also heard about fortunepoker, with 200% up to $400.

Just get more info on them and do not forget Rakeback!

Everest bonus is pretty easy to clear, it's a 100$ bonus, cleared at 0.07$ / point, and not lump sum, so whenever you leave the table after some play you get it directly into your player account, but no rakeback

Cake poker is same principle, but 0.06$ up to 500$ bonus, and 33% rakeback

Towergaming also has a nice 5x deposit bonus, which is also cleared pretty easy

just PM if you require more info

 Stay at Stars. Grind the roll. Most decent bonuses will be wasted since your playing too low to clear. It's general knowledge that you need to have $500 or more to start bonus whoring since it's usually 25% to 100% or more on deposits and you won't be able to max them out or clear them in time. The first deposit bonuses are the juiciest ones you will ever get, and once you use them they are gone. Grind the roll, get to at least $50NL first then sign up at one site at a time, getting rakeback of course and in no time you will have enough to play $100NL easy.

 Basically if you are US based you are screwed. There is nothing out there worth even mentioning, basically find a site with rb or another good offer you can use behind winnings and then find a site with lots of games where you can find the fish.

If you arent US based then hmmmmmm, there are options and ill need to dig into my bag of tricks and see what i can find.

Its not about the quantity of the bonus its about its rather about how long it takes to clear, shorter is much better.

 Based in New Zealand so every site is open to me...

Haven't played at stars yet. Grinding away at party mostly at the moment - running 8-10BB/100 there, plus getting about $1 in cashable loyalty points for every 600ish hands (even at $5NL), plus cleared a deposit bonus there last week.

As far as bankroll goes, I also have a few hundred set aside for bonus whoring, I just don;t count this towards my overall bankroll with regard to moving up in stakes etc.

I hear what you say about waiting until $50NL, at this level almost all the bonuses I've seen look pretty easy to clear

 cool. Thanks for that!

I'll hopefully get to $1000 by the end of this month, not sure if I'll be hitting $25NL until I get a little more - ca. $1500? i know this is super-conservative but this is because a big chunk of my earnings are bonuses etc. rather than profit made solely from cash tables. I want to log 10k hands at $10NL before I make the jump to $25
