I've got a problem....I dont know which Site to go to.
Ive got ~$1100 to use in my bonus whoring adventure. I'm currently working/playing at both Interpoker and Pacific so those are out. I've hit up PokerNow/All Party skins for their $200 bonus and I just completed Pokerroom's bonus.
I'm definately depositing $600 into Poker Stars for their bonus, leaving me with a little less than $500 to use. I can currently get a 30% bonus up to $100 at Superior Poker (using $330) or I can get a 50% at www.JetSetPoker.com up to $375 (max deposit $700). I also have $140 at Pacific I can use if I can withdraw from them in time.
You would think this is a no-brainer, get the 50% from jetset. But has anyone played there? How easy is it to get the deposit bonus? Any other important information? I have until Tuesday for Stars and Wednesday for JetSet. The 30% at Superior would be a reload bonus while at JetSet It would an initial. You also have to take into consideration how long I have to clear a bonus, I have found no information at Stars and at Jetset for how long to take to clear it.
I am thinking, withdraw the $140 from Pacific, combine with the remaining $500 and gamble with JetSet. If anyone wants a referral to JetSet (if applicable) let me know (the first person to say they want it to answer this post will get it, not PM).
What do you think?

for every 1 full ring game they'll have 3 shorthanded games. but there's still enough you'll get some action. i do find some of the opponents here more challenging than party tho.

if you are dealt a hand that gets raked 25 cents or more, it is considered a raked hand. you get 10 bucks for every 100 raked hands.

I'll think about it, thats 2200 raked hands to play for the bonus which is a pretty strong commitment. It will probably be one of my last bonus whoring stops.

If you want my advice I'd suggest that instead of bonus whoring pick your favorite poker site and play solid poker. I used to whore too until I realized I can make much more money just playing solid poker. Just my $.02.

Unless, of course, you are playing solid poker and bonus whoring, then you get even MORE money.
At the website www.bonuswhores.com they have a nice listing of all the websites and their respective bonuses. Not only that, they will give a corresponding hourly rate that applies to each bonus at each room. Think about it as an additiona hourly rate.
For example, Interpoker:
Full ring game, at 1/2, the bonus converts to $7.98 per hour EXTRA to what you normally would make. At 2/4, the bonus converts to an additional $11 per hour on top of what you are already making.
Another example, JetSet Poker:
Full ring game, at 1/2, the bonus converts to an additional $5,41 per hour. At 2/4, its $7.37.
Pokernow gives you an astonishing $10 an hour.
All these bonuses add up and can make you a lot of money. They also serve as a safety net.
At lower limits ( up to 2/4) I see no reason to NOT bonus whore.

man you really shouldn't have whored all the party skins....now you're screwed for any affiliate you want to join. i screwed myself for empire and intertops. but at least i got one for party, and i'm holding out on multi and eurobet just in case a new affiliate comes.
but i guess the monthly crypto bonuses are pretty sweet, but once you move to higher limits the affiliate rakebacks give you much more return.

What do you mean? I screwed myself last year when i didnt even think about bonus whoring. I did Party and Empire but hopefully they'll give me a reload or something and then i'll redeposit. But i was able to join Pokernow and receive their full bonus. I emailed support for intertops about their bonus (b/c i havent got it yet and i wont play until i do).

people who play 3/6 or higher limits generate over $1000 rake a month. and when you're playing that high you can get a 20% rake back. so just by playing you're getting 200 bucks back a month.
if you play poker for a living, you can get over $1000 bucks back a month...that's far better than any reload bonus you'll get.

I dont understand how this effects the bonus. Is that rake-back a promotionary bonus code you would use that's a first time deal? I'm not playing 3/6 I just started with 1/2. I doubt I will be up that high by this time next year.

Yeah. Dont worry youre not alone I screwed myself too but for no more time than I have to play now Im not worried about any rake back plans and if need be I can sign up one of my friends and use them once I get out of college. Pretty much there are so many bonuses out there Im not playing unless its to clear one.

Hey guys thanks for the tips on whoring those casinos! I did bott 888 and reef casino and came out up 325 dollars and it only took me about 2 hours to do both. I cashed out my money through netellr last night but it hasn't shown up in my neteller account yet. Just wondering how long it took for you guys.....I am guessing its a lot slower than cashing out of the party skins?
