View Full Version : bonus clearing in sit n go's


12-21-2005, 01:05 PM
Started playing 1.20's at stars a few months ago, built bankroll from 25.00 to around $80.00. Started playing the 5.50's and would like to start clearing a bonus.

What site would be good to start?? see that bonuswhores recommends Bet365 for small bankroll, but i don't see any info about clearance rates for sit n go's. Would it just be the .50 rake for each tourney??? any help/recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Happy Holidays!!!!!

best bonuses for SNG players would be:

Poker Stars (100% rebate on fees)
Bodog (100%)
Pokerroom 7x (71%)
Full Tilt (42%)

Stars doesn't give out bonuses very often; Full tilt has 100% offer on now - not sure about Bodog and the other one but I'm thinking of doing the Full Tilt 100% bonuse and playing the lower limit SNGs to clear - I think you also get your bonus in increments and don't have to clear the whole amount to be in the money

Full Tilt ALWAYS has the 100% signup deal - it's not like a limited time offer or anything. and regardless of bonus match amount, it's still the clear rate which is most important.

Full Tilt's bonus clears either in increments of $20 or 10%, whichever comes first. if you're concerned about not playing large chunks, I'd say bodog is the better deal because you can deposit whatever amount you want to get the 10%, clear it at a 100% rebate (vs. 42% on FTP) and then reload continuously.

For you, Bodog.

10% on all deposits, get 100%+ of vig back on entry fees (i.e. $10+1 clears $1 in bonus).

Also, deposit for next Stars reload even if you can't gamble the money. They let you deposit then withdraw and the bonus stays active.

Very few bonuses are good for SNGs.

If you play the $5.50s Stars is good because they give you 3 points for every $5.50 SNG, as opposed to 5 points for the $11s. So you are effectively paying negative $16.50 in rake for the 167 SNGs it would take to clear a $100 bonus. No signup bonus that I know of but Stars is a great site for SNGs.

You can also clear bonuses with tourney play on Titan, but it takes a crazy amount of play just to earn $10 that it's not even worth a calculation. The reason to play at Titan is the soft games, not the bonuses.

FYI for initial deposite, there is a 100% up to 100 dollar bonus at bodog if u look hard enough. Takes forever to clear, but well worth it.

Agree either Fulltilt or Bodog ... Bodog is a better effective clear rate for sng's (100% can't beat that). Although their sng traffic is reeeeaallly low, most of it seems to be at the 5's where you will be playing.
