Has anyone done the 110% Bodog bonus where you get 10% right away to wager with? I was wondering, couldn't you deposit 500$, get your 50$ that you can use right away, and then withdraw your original 500$? That way you could be clearing the rest of the bonus with their money instead of yours. Anyone know if this works?
Thanks,
-Dave

Oh, and I just noticed that sportsbookpoker has a similar bonus. Would this work there as well?

How fast do you think you could clear this bonus with $50 in your BR.

I'm not sure, after reading the bodog point FAQ it seems like you clear 1 dollar for every 10 points, I'm going to email them to see if it's contributed rake or just any rake:
"How to Earn Poker Points:
Rake Points
$1.00 - $3.00 1.00
$0.50 - $0.95 0.50
$0.25 - $0.45 0.25
$0.05 - $0.20 0.10
Rake: You earn up to 1 poker point per raked pot.
Tournament Fees: You earn 3 poker points per dollar in tournament fees.
Time Spent Playing: You even earn an additional 1 poker point per hour of play!"
So I think I could clear it pretty fast. I'd probably play on a table like 25$PLO8.
Anyone know if it's contributed rake?
Thanks,
-Dave

I agree, but I could always buy in for 10$ or something. And it's not really my money so not really any harm if I do go busto.

at a lot of sites, bonuses become void if you withdraw before clearing them. Dunno for bodog - you should check.
if you want to make money playing poker then I suggest starting at empire, cos the bonus is super easy to clear (play something like $0.05-$0.1o limit) and play six tables and it should only take a few hours.
from the room reviews section here:
EmpirePoker.com Bonuses and Promotions
EmpirePoker has a 20% initial deposit bonus up to $100! If you'd like to take advantage of this, just join through any of our Empire Poker links, and use the Empire Poker Bonus Code: FTR120.
Earning this bonus is a piece of cake. The amount may be small, but it is one of the best and most popular bonuses in terms of earning it. To clear it, you need to play 5x the bonus amount in raked hands. So if you were to get the full $100, you would have to play 500 raked hands. This is one of the easiest earned bonuses out there! Depending on how many tables you play it can be cleared in just a few hours. This bonus expires 30 days after it is issued so be sure to clear it before then
