Clearing Your Online Poker Bonus
Almost every single online poker room has some kind of bonus program which they use to attract new players to there poker room so that they have higher traffic. Of course some poker rooms like Full Tilt offer higher bonuses then other poker rooms like www.PokerStars.net, so you’ll need to do some research in order to first find your bonus. You should never join the first poker room you find because it might not be the best poker room. There are quite a few online poker rooms out there which are great for playing poker at so the main factor should be the bonus program. Read reviews of online poker rooms and find a room with a good review and a high sign-up bonus.
Once you’ve found the poker room you want to play in you’ll need to register your account. Make sure you use the bonus code when you sign-up for your account so that you’re eligible for you first deposit bonus. If you don’t use the bonus code when you sign-up then you might not have another chance to do so in some poker rooms so make sure you don’t forget this step.
After you’ve registered for your account and inserted your full tilt poker bonus code you’ll need to make your first deposit using whichever deposit method you’d like that the poker room supports. Usually you need to make a minimum deposit for the bonus so make sure you’ve deposited at least the minimum, although you should try depositing whichever amount will get you the full bonus. The sign-up bonus only occurs on your first deposit so it’s worth it to make your first deposit the full bonus amount.
There are always terms and conditions to the bonus that you’ll need to read on the website so you know what you need to do in order to clear the bonus. Typically you’ll need to earn a fixed amount of player points to release the bonus and some of the poker rooms will release the bonus in increments. Either way they’ll tell you what increments they issue the bonus and how many player points you need to receive the bonus. Once you learn how many player points you need you can start playing in the poker room to earn the points.
Both tournament and table players are able to clear the bonus, but it will take a lot longer to clear the bonus by playing tournaments at TitanPoker.com and other sites. The quickest and most effective way to clear your bonus is by playing at a table game with stakes you’re comfortable with. Too many poker players try to play at stakes much higher then there used to in order to clear there bonus faster, but the problem a lot of players run into is that they deplete there bankroll. When you try playing higher limits to clear your bonus faster you risk losing your bankroll before you clear the bonus which would be terrible. Play the stakes you’re comfortable with and the bonus will clear just as fast and you shouldn’t be down much if any.
Once you receive enough player points the money will be released into your poker account and you’ll be able to do whatever you want with the money. You can either bet it in the poker room or withdraw it, it’s totally up to you once you’ve cleared the bonus.
