nearly all sites release the bonus as you play and earn points.some are fairly easy to get others a bit harder.pays to shop around depending on the stakes you play.

i still managed to withdraw my money from freerolls on one site after i did my first deposit only thing is u cannot take out what u deposited untill either your bonus expires or u meet requirements

so like me i put in $10 took out the $100 i had in and left the $10 to play with

had no probs and did it on same day

Some of the play thru requirement will take a lifetime to meet. You need to look at the requirements before depositing your money. I learned this the hard way.

That's what it's all about. Tough it is no fun to read all the terms and conditions it's definitely worth the time. Always takes even longer for me because english is a foreign language for me and not every site has them translated in other languages.
What I learned as a rule of thumb is to stay away from the "free money no deposit bonuses". The playthrough-requirements are so difficult to meet that it isn't worth to try.

You should concentrate on game, bonus is greate thing but have in your mind that you are fplaying for the money you already have not for some to be bonus. I was once chasing bonus on some site and I have lost much not reaching it at the end.

I still play pretty low-levels and cleared Full Tilt with no problem. Also fairly easy to clear at poker.com and its 3 other skins, Nordica/Carbon/Ironduke. As stated above pretty important to read all the fine print and not to play at levels where you dont win. If you play a game you are not comfortable with you will lose more $ even if you clear your bonus.

AP 1st deposit and reload bonuses are easy to clear, play the 10c 20c limit Omaha h/l ring games, clears in hours instead of weeks. Same of course for VP247

yes.. always check.. excactly what the requirements are, and.. where poss find out how the points are earned, cuase its points that compare play against how u earn your bonus( long story short "if you dont get points where ytou fold a hand" then stay away)

member NB?? 1 arm bandits!!! poker bonuses are like 1 arm bandits.. I said this before in a thread about bonuses. Basicly they dont pay you till they've paid themselves.. get it? in lamen.. You will pay more than, they pay you, pretty much. Try for yourself the only time you will fullfill a bonus, is where you actually played some games and won,, ok maybe you will have lost some too, but you will have won plenty.. point being you will have played many hours of poker at that site, if you didnt win.. then you went skint and never got your bonus.. If you did win you had to stay constant for many hours breakin even maybe.. and if your were winning all, time, then you still played hours of poker, by which time
your bonus would have only been a fraction of your bankroll anyway.

totally anti deposit bonus and affilaite whizzer

(not totally though, because if it was not for affiliates and thier deposit bonuses, then there would be little point in this forum, and then we would all just be lonley online poker players lookin for games and trying to avoid being completly ripped off, goodness bless wass and ty for leading the way)

not much else to say for a while, but always reading...........whizzer
