new player building bank roll

[bspahn]

i think at one time someone had made a large post about the best places to visit to collect a few bonuses to build a bank roll, could someone link to it please?

at which stage does any given bonus become negligible - otherwise why not collect bonuses while also playing?

thanks

Should this thread be in Online Poker Rooms?

To search the archives, click on search in the links in the middle of the top of every screen. Type in "bonus" or "bankroll" and you'll see all the related threads.

Bonuses are never completely negligible. Free money is free money. Granted, when your average pot size is $50 or more, it wouldn't make as much of a difference as when it's $5, but anything extra is just that. Most sites only give initial deposit bonuses and then sporadically offer reload bonuses throughout the year. It's not that people stop wanting the bonuses - they just stop being able to get them.

My only personal experience with Bonuses is with UB. They currently offer a 40% initial deposit bonus (up to $200) or a 50% initial deposit referral bonus (if you list an existing player as a referrer). One thing that appeals to me about them is that while the bonus can take time to get, you get it in penny increments for every raked hand you play and there is no expiration. Let me know if you have any additional questions about them specifically. As for other sites, search as above or check the responses you'll soon see.

...yes, UB isn't exactly generous in the way they dole out their bonuses.
If you play NL 0.05-0.10 or 0.10-0.25 it takes 4 ever. Took me over a month to clear mine.

You're right that the nice thing is that there's no expiration and they give it to you right away. Essentially what you are getting is help with the rake. So it's nice in a way. But as stated, they do take forever to clear. I'm not too happy with UB's bonuses in general, but it's not all bad news.

Do yourself a VERY big favor and read this http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...pic.php?t=4971
Make sure you have at least some money before you go "bonus whoring" this way you can make more on your investment. You can check out all the deals on www.bonuswhores.com

no worries i got the bank roll down packed, i was looking for the post from someone who gave a large list of bonuses to collect specifically for poker, to build an approximate $2000 bank roll. i'll try the search feature again as last time i didnt find it!

right now i'm trying the 25c/50c tables @ UB as i've built up to about $250 and i'll see when i feel comfortable playing there as I did with the 10c and then 25c tables. i'll have to reach the $1 tables sooner or later if i want to collect various other bonuses (carribean sun / william hill etc)

If you have already have accounts on all the party skins you need to sign onto all of them and find out the email for each of them. Then send them an email for each of the skins you already have accounts at saying you have a gambling problem and would like them to close your account. Then re-open them a couple of days later….make sure to set up rake back at poker now and euro bet as you will want at least 2 rake back skins for when your done bonus whoring. To get the 200$ bonuses from each of the party skins you need to make your first deposit with neteller…..then one you have cleared that , deposit with IGM and use the bonus code IGMPAY You will get 100 for sign up and 100 for first time using IGM. If you do all these sites you can whore over 2000$ dollars. All you have to do is only play pocket pairs and AK AQ and you will at least break even.
