The Basics Of Online Poker Bonus Whoring
For those of you who have been slugging it out in the trenches trying to make money at 1 or 2 poker rooms, it can seem like a grind. And if you’re just breaking even, your bankroll may be constantly flirting on “Empty.” A lot of you know about the bonuses offered by our top-rated poker rooms, but haven’t developed a system for using them to your advantage. Today, we’re going to change that.
Here’s your 3-minute guide to online poker bonus whoring.
Starting Small
First, we’re going to assume that your stock portfolio has taken a beating lately and as a result, you’re on a limited poker budget. Let’s start with $50. Visit PokerStars.com and use bonus code “stars50” to get your 100% match.
Once you’ve played enough raked hands to clear your bonus, withdraw your bankroll. Assuming that you’ve broken even, you should now have $100 (your original $50 plus the $50 bonus).
Now, visit FullTiltPoker.com and use bonus code “kickasspoker” to get another 100% match. After you’ve cleared it, you should have $200. Again, we’re assuming you’re breaking even on the tables.
Next, let’s jump over to Sportsbook Poker. You can get a 100% match on your $200 bankroll by using bonus code “kickass“. Hit the tables, play enough raked hands, and withdraw your bankroll. By now, it should have grown to $400.
Think about that for a moment. You’ve gone from your original $50 bankroll to $400 by taking advantage of the sign-up bonuses at only 3 online poker rooms.
That’s how basic bonus whoring is done.
2 Quick Notes
We need to clarify a couple of points here.
First, you can really knock this strategy out of the park by keeping your eyes open for reload bonuses and other promos. If you time it right, you can do even better that what we’ve outlined above.
Second, keep in mind that bonus whoring works best with small amounts. If you’re depositing $10,000, the poker rooms aren’t going to give you a 100% match. If you find any that do, let us know!
There are several great poker rooms at which you can use this strategy. Read our online poker room reviews to plan your system. If you need to, start small and work your way up. Leave the poker rooms that offer larger bonuses at the tail end of your system.
How’s that for a little dirty fun?
