Where to bonus whore?

After finally getting my roll together casino whoring, I went to Empire poker, for a $100 bonus and PO2. And now I'm whoring Paradise for a 50$ bonus.

My question is where to go now, I've read the Poker room reviews, and look them through the bonus ratings and all that. But none of the reviews say much about how fast/slow it is. And at what stakes it can be done in acceptable time. I play 25 NL and atm i need a place to go after paradise is finished.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

really good 25nl bonuses are pretty scarce - most bonuses these days just seem to amount to getting big chunk your rake back, so they take a long while at micro stakes. Do party unless you already have (or unless you're saving it so you can get a RB deal later on)

Ongame network has lots of 7x and 10x reloads, and Hollywood poker has a 5x up to $200 at bonuswhores, that one takes 8-10k hands which is pretty good going. Also check out tribaca tables - VC Poker has 80% RB up to $150 monthly.

www.bonuswhores.com gives you an idea of the clearance rates (although it's not 100% accurate)

Pokerstars has a first time desposit bonus now, since those are vey rare on pokerstars I would deposit there now

Cryptologic is great for non-U.S. citizens.

The one I recommend is Poker Plex. They have a $200 bonus each month (which at $25NL takes about 20k hands to clear) but which pays off in installments ($20, $30, $50, $100).
So you don't need to clear everything.

The downside is you have to clear it in a month, but then there's one next month too.

On top of that you can get rakeback too. (PM if you're interested).

Alternatively still on Crypto is Sun Poker. There you can get $100 each month as a reload bonus. There's also rakeback there (and slightly higher the Poker Plex) plus you can sign up through FTR's programme.

I haven't played a lot yet and I'm also looking for good bonuses. Are there a lot of money to be made switching sites to hunt bonuses (take it you're a winning player that is)?

To the starter of the thread, what is PO2?

PO2 = poker office 2

There's a lot of money to be made switching sites for bonuses. (see e.g. www.bonuswhores.com or EasyT's guide in the Online forum.

The reason I think playing something like crypto is good is that you can whore monthly reloads from 3-4 sites, hopping from site to site but always playing the same tables (and so the same opponents).

I think Pokerroom is another good option (I can't play there, Swedish resident) but again there's a network so you aren't changing tables all the time. Prima is another reasonable network.

But if you're playing $25NL or higher, get rakeback. Makes a difference.

Like Anosmic said, it's short for Poker Office 2. It's a software that keeps track of all the hands you play and shows you how much you make per 100 hands, hourly rate, how you do with different hands, and a lot more.

I w0uld checkout Bonuswhores.com.

I do PartyPoker reloads, Empire Reloads, and I am just starting the B2B networks today for the easy $20 Euro bonuses.
I do the Sun Poker $100 monthly bonus + rakeback when nothing better is available. Sign up to Sun Poker through FTR and get the rakeback deal.
Also the Grand Bay Deal is easy.
The Golden Riveria you have to play 50NL, but is easy.

Good luck!!!

wow, alot of good replies, thank you all.

I've already been at party poker in my newbie days, so that sign up bonus is done. The hollywood bonus sounds like the best to me atm. But after this month I'll go to Sun Poker for the bonus+rakeback.

Now this conclusion leads me to another question. Does PO2 work with these networks? It would really suck if I can't use the database to improve

Don't forget to check out our very own http://www.flopturnriver.com/Exclusives.html section, we have some very attractive bonus and freeroll promotions going on right now.

Poker Office does work with Hollywood poker (Ongame network) but currently it doesn't work with Sun Poker (cryptologic, right?). The good news is that support for the Crypto network and Fulltiltpoker will be released pretty soon.

Okay, I just earned pokertracker in a bodog bonus, but I haven't recived it yet. I'll just go to Hollywood poker with PO and go to Sun poker with PT, is there a way to collect stats from one program to another?

PT works on both, just use that.

Yes check out the PO forum.
They are currently working on crypto for the next release (which should be soon) and of course, more bug fixes, etc.

Usually they have some kind of upgrade about once per month, so they are very active.

I use Poker-Spy (which is currently working on a HUD) for Sun Poker, and basically PO for everything else.

Good luck!!

No one mentioned Everest (for non-Americans). Very fishy, plethora of bonuses - 2/3 of ones I google out are valid, relatively easy to release. Ugly interface though.

From my experience, Absolute Poker is absolute crap for bonus whoring. The requirements for the 100% bonus initial deposit are impossible to get through. Absolute has already made back the 100% bonus through rakes...even though I'm not close to finishing the required number of hands.

ok.
1. Check the prima sites for sign ups that can be played at 20nl. These are often 1000raked hands for $100. Games are soft too.
2. You should be able to reach 50nl on that lot. Sign up and cear the numerous Pokerroom and skins bonuses which will take a bit of time but increase your br nicely
3. Same on the ongame(?) network, noble poker etc.

If you clear these you should have in excess of 2500 when you finish, more than enough to move to a large site, get rb (if available) and begin to play 100nl and learn to 'really' play some poker. I think it takes 30-50k hands max if you dont really suck to start off with (often a problem as lots of our new players need to start off this way)

If you are really stuck, post your br and sites whored in the online pokerooms forum and ill dig up some sort of list that you can look at.
Avoid any other large sign up bonuses not mentioned here for the moment, they take too lng to clear, particulalry UB and AP.
