    Default Rake Free SnGs

    I know that typically, bonuses are listed in the online poker room area. However, I figured it beared mentioning here, seeing as it's the only bonus structure I've seen that is actually beneficial for SnG/MTT players.

    Stars is currently offering 20% up to $120. It requires 5x the amount of the bonus in Frequent Player Points (FPPs) to clear. For every dollar you spend in entry fee to a tournament, they award you 5 FPPs (thus clearing a dollar's worth of the bonus). So, you can play rake free. Pretty cool, huh? To my knowledge, the bonus never expires, so there's no worry about clearing it by a certain date.
    I run a training site...

    Check out strategy videos at GrinderSchool.com, from $10 / month.

    Once I get a chance im moving there, but also good to mention is Bodog for SNG/MTT's

    3 points per dollar on a 20% no max bonus. And they give you 50 to just start. All of my 5.50 SNG's were free to play..meaning the buyin was refunded back to me as part of my bonus. I have moved up since then so it may be slightly less for higher buyins..but still more than the rake back...rake and part of the entry fee. Tables are fairly easy too.

    I think it's the other way - 5 dollars = 1 FPP.

    Nope 5 FPP for each dollar in rake.

    aha! I was missing the "of the rake" piece - that makes sense, I had always wondered how they came up with the FPP number.

    Its nice because it allows me to play in FPP sats every week. Sometimes twice a week.

    Drinking your milkshake.
    VC Poker offers a similar thing. The bonus is up to $100 and you have to do just over 100 sit and go tournaments at $10 and $1 to clear it. Again, you are playing virtually rake free.
