I'm new to bonus whoring, been looking around at this forum and http://www.bonuswhores.com. All the info kinda confuses me so maybe someone can help me out here.. I'm 4-tabling 50NL at a Prima skin right now with an BR of 900$. The bonus I'm looking for should be:
- at least 100$
- can be cleared at 50NL
- is at a PT-supported site

Any advice will be appreciated.

Checkout the bonus grid at bonuswhores. It gives a pretty good idea as to the best limits for each bonus. But make sure you use FTR links when signing up to new sites

I am limited to about 7000 hands / month so I am always looking for the bonuses that can be cleared quickly, rather than the biggest ones. Last couple of months I have been doing the following...

Bet365 (prima) $100 monthly reload
Golden Riviera (prima) $20 every weekend
William Hill (Crypto) $45 monthly
Poker Plex (Crypto) $50 monthly
Littlewoods (Crypto) $45 monthly
Empire $100 monthly reload
Party $100 monthly reload
Absolute $100 (or more if time allows)

Typically I clear between $500 and $600 in bonuses per month.

You have to continually keep an eye on the terms and conditions, for example Poker Plex and Littlewoods have recently toughened up their bonus requirements and I have no idea what Party Poker is upto. Every bonus now seems to be account specific and the one I got in Nov sucked.

Johnny:

You've found the right forum, bro. We hang out down here trading infos and maximizing bonuses.

If you don't have a Party Poker account, by all means get one! This works with PokerTracker, and is an easy bonus to clear at NL50 (or even NL25).

Can anyone answer: Now that Party has bought Mulit and InterTops, have they re-opened their tables to those sites? Or is it still Party, and the Party-owned skins seperately? If they're back in the same mix, I'd recommend getting accounts at these sites too, Johnny. If not, you might wait for now.

There are lots of bonuses out there! Tell us which accounts you already have, and I'll reply with some more info.

Is that bonus grid on whores the way to go... basically just click your perfered limit/no limit game and follow the highest rates down?

Anybody think they're way off on any sites in their ranking system?

Come give me advice.

that grid is the best thing since sliced bread!

sometimes I find small discrepancies, but basically as a ball park figure it is always correct

What EasyT said - Party.

Also, you are at Prima -- there are a zillion Primas and some offer great bonuses. Gamingclub (Prima) has $50, but just offered $100 reload. Bet365 (Prima) has $100+$100. Stan's (Prima) has $100. Golden Riviera has $50 up front plus $20 every weekend. A zillion of them.

While I admire the usual inclination toward loyalty and simplicity in playing at poker rooms (one-to-three rooms for most players), by signing up at a ton of rooms, you will receive additional offers that will keep you busy always working a bonus. Bet

I'm a know-it-all.

No, really.

absolute is a great site for bonus whoring. also, party is a great one. Bodog has a "bottomless" bonus, but it's not PT compatible. also, If you don't have a Stars Account, get one. They have almost monthly bonuses, (I think 8 this year so far) including one going on right now till the 27th. you can use your first deposit to get those. so here's my recommendation right now:

1. go to Stars, get the $120
2. If you don't have a party account, go there and get the $100
3. Go to Absolute, and start clearing bonii there indefinetly (they have like 2-3 reloads a week) then go back and repeat the stars and party reloads whenever they come up.

If you play a lot, you can easily clear $1,000 a month with these.

Thank you all! Very useful advice. I'll get my Neteller account and start taking that free money

I'm curious to see if there are big differences in play; Prima 50NL is quite tight..

Bet365 has been running a $10 per every 50 raked hands up to $100.

Can you clear the Stars bonus at the .5-1/1-2 or 25NL tables? I've heard Stars bonus are only clearable playing tournies (or much higher stakes ring games).

Come give me advice.

Just a reminder - the monthly bonuses have to be completed within that calendar month, so you only have a few days left for November.
