Bonuses

Not sure if to post this here or in the Poker rooms forum. Decided on here as there's a marginally less chance of being mocked

As I've mentioned I have a little over a hundred dollars in my account at Party Poker. They're currently offering a 15% bonus deposit over the next week or so.

Is it worth cashing out my $100 and then re-depositing it?
Does this work? (Seems that it would be silly for them to allow this).
Is it worthwhile? (I'm not sure how much I will pay in fees if I deposit it to my Netteller account and then put it back).

I also had a question related to bonuses if you don't mind? Don't want to open a whole new thread for it.

Just wondering what bonuses are the best to take advantage to get some more money quickly.

Cashing out will void your bonus-- at least it has in the past.

If you don't use Instacash in NeTeller you shouldn't incur any fees either depositing or withdrawing.

To the second poster-- EasyT has a 25NL bonus whoring guide on this forum that will answer your questions. Google "bonus whoring 101" for another guide.

Where did you find out about this bonus?

I'd put in another $100 of my own money and play supertight, just because pp bonuses are so easy to clear But then neteller would charge you for instacash so it might not be worth it for only $15.

I got an email saying there is currently a 30% reload up to $100, and then i logged into my party account [first time in awhile] and they gave me a $30 bonus no deposit needed, just have to play 300 raked hands. In your position I would just deposit another $100 and then withdraw it when you clear the bonus, I deposit using a debit card so I dont worry about the fees with neteller, Im not sure how that would work and for $15 it may not be that worthwhile


EDIT: Apparently that 30% bonus was only for new players, they didnt say that in the email but didnt credit my account with the bonus automatically. I emailed them and they added the bonus and only gave me 5x clearing requirements, so hey, whatever works.
