Basics to Online Poker Bonuses

The definitive guide to online poker bonus whoring and becoming a bonus whore.



As poker has boomed in popularity in the last couple years, online poker bonus whoring has also grown. Astute players have realized that bonus whoring can be very lucrative, to the point where 'professional bonus whores' have been created. Sites are usually more than happy to oblige because even bonus whores usually generate enough rake to make a card room at least break-even on a bonus, while they still get the chance of permanently retaining that player.

Poker bonus whoring is not always easy, however. Each site has their own terms, requirements, and quirks that players will experience. Just because a site has a big bonus does not mean it is better than other bonuses available. These are issues that all bonus whores will encounter. This guide gives players all of the information they need to know in order to make the best use of their bonus whoring time.

Our Poker Bonus Whoring page is a bonus guide for both new and experienced players whose main preference in poker is to bonus whore with the least possible risk to the player. Tournament players can check out the tournament grid. To bonus whore means to maximize the free profits and awards attainable from various institutions; in our case, this is online poker rooms.

This poker bonus guide should give all players the foundation to make relatively easy cash, provided you are at least near break-even before bonuses. This guide takes into account game quality, bonus clearance rates and the ability to find a game at the games you select. The sites listed at the top are sites that you should look at first.
