If Jeffery doesn't right a post about bonus whoring I am. It's long over due.
This DaNuts quote was from another post. I've kept looking, but haven't really seen a thread to answer my many questions. So here are my questions.

1.) FIRST-TIME SIGN UP BONUSES:
> Is there a strategy for this. Or do you just flit around from site to site willy-nilly picking up bonuses at every site?
> How/where do you 'shop around' for the best deals once you've picked the site you want to sign up for? (I don't want to touch a nerve here! I know FTR offers direct sign-ups and we all want to support FTR!!)
> Anything else a person should know?
> I hear some bonuses are difficult to clear in the allotted time, etc., how do I judge the ease of getting the bonus before I sign up?

2.) RE-BUY BONUSES:
I think I get this now. Cash Out, Cash In to sign up for bonuses.
> Is there an 'abuse of bonuses' threshold which will cause sites to frown upon you?

3.) RAKEBACK:
> What is this, exactly?
> How/Where do you get signed up?
> Do all sites offer this?
> Are there reqirements to be eligible, or is if offered from day-one.
> Does this require a fixed term, or Hrs/Month, commitment?
> Is there a penalty for missing a requirement?
> Can you get rakeback from more than one site at the same time?
> If you're getting rakeback, can you still apply for other bonuses?
> Is this profitable or even available for lower stakes players?

4.) PREFERRED PLAYER STATUS:
> What does this get you?
> Seems like they need a lot of information about me to sign up. Should I be wary?

5.) PITFALLS:
I've read about people having their accounts closed/frozen. There's even some degree of paranioa about certain bonuses out there. Rumors circulate that X-Bonus is some sort of BonusWhore trap.
> What level of bonus-whoring is safe and worry free?
> What should I avoid doing to preserve my accounts?
> I'm obviously wary of the newly discovered 'free money' I found. So I want to make sure that I have EVERYTHING I need to know to keep me out of trouble, and my BR intact!!!!!

6.) SCAMS:
> Are there any predators out there to be ware of?

7.) OTHER BONUSES:
> Are there bonuses (other than signups, re-buys & rakebacks) that I don't even know about?

I know this is a lot. And I apologize if ALL of these questions have been answered before. I have tried to read what I could before posting this. I think it would be an asset to the site if all these answers were in one easy-to-find place.

Thanks!

This looks like a good outline for a whoring guide if someone will write it.
