I have been bonus whoring for 3 months now. I have put together a list of the bonuses that I find easy to clear at the lower stakes. Hopefully it may be useful to new bonus whores. My assumptions are as follows...

- The % raked hands is based on playing NL $0.25/$0.50
- 2 tabling

------------Bonus-----% hands---total------hands/---Time to---Hrly
-------------------------raked-------hands----hour------clear------Rate

Party.......$100(x7)....90%.........780........45. ..........10hrs.....$10.00
Inter........$90(x8)......65%........1110.......50 ...........11hrs.....$8.18
Absolute..$100(x10)..65%........1540.......45..... ......17hrs.....$5.88
Empire.....$100(x15)..90%........1670.......45.... .......18.5hrs...$5.40

Are these figures are in the correct ballpark ?
Are there any better bonuses at low stakes ?
I only get to play for a max of 15hrs a week, so is there any reason to look elsewhere ?

EasyT is on a distinguished road
 I didn't find anywhere close to 65% of .25/.50 hands raked at Absolute. The NL$50 tables were unbearably tight. Maybe I played in an off week or something, though. My very limited experience would guestimate a meager 20-30%.

They also have twice the table deposit max... plays like a 50NL table, has 25/50c blinds, but then a $100 max buy in......

Thanks for those comments. I have only just created an account at absolute. I was hoping with the 0.25 rake requirement that it would be similar to interpoker.

Does it still make sense to play there if I have cleared the curent Party / Empire / Inter bonuses. Or is there somewhere more profitable ?

Probably still profitable to play there. Although mabey less so than a faster site. But if there are no other big ones atm to sink your teeth into then stick with AP.

Easy is unable to Multi table there, making it slower for him. I was playing out of my BR there, making it less profitable for me.

But you seem to be properly bankrolled to play at the 25NL level. If you can get on 2 good tables I am sure you could clear the 100 hands every 2hrs anyways. Which would then come down to $5 an hr, or $2.5 per table per hr. Might even need to 3 table to get these results...

Only good thing I can think of is you have 60 days to clear your bonus once they put it into your pending account. So if you want to slowly grind away at it then I see no reason not to.

No real sense making a $500 deposit with Neteller for a $250 bonus though since that would take forever! lol 2500 hands at about 25 an hr (per table and mabey a bit less... still think this sounds a bit high for these tables here) would take you 1000 hours to clear the full bonus.

If you have not made the deposit yet might want to wait till you are BR'd for the 50NL or 100NL tables. Then it would be much faster, and more profitable in the long run to try and clear bonus' on this site.

But if you already made the deposit give it a shot for a couple hours and asses it for yourself. Work your way up to that first 100, see how long it takes, then decide from there if you should just move on or grind it out.
