The last 4 weeks Absolute has had a three day bonus festival. Deposit 1K and get 200 in bonus. Multiply that by 12 and you get 12K deposits and 2400 in bonus.

I don't care if they did or didn't have problems. Still a very good place to play. Meaning lots of fishies...more on the weekend it seems.

I know party only had a $100 bonus this month, but there have been several from UB (at least 3 for $100). And a $150 from Poker Room. The Crypto monthly bonuses look good, I just did one of them for $50, pretty easy to clear. And Bodog has an excellent on-going bonus. You may need to play the NL games, but it clears similar to a 10X Party bonus and the tables have a lot of action. Also on Bodog, the tourneys clear at double the fee.

Re: This Month sucked for Bonuses...WTF
 

The only reason to have that low of a bonus rate is laziness.

300$ a month from cryptos alone.
20% bottomless bodog bonus.
20% basically bottomless absolute reloads.

The only reason you only have 250 in bonuses is because you dicked around and didnt do anything but the party/empire reloads.

This month was fine for bonuses.


Btw, ever consider casino whoring? Alot of them are higher $/hr than poker bonuses.

I'm assuming you haven't registered at many sites. It's been a great month for reloads! Recap of the reloads offered by major sites this month:

UB 4/01/05 50% up to $100
Empire 4/6/05 25% up to $150
UB 4/12/05 50% up to $100
UB 4/17/05 50% up to $100
Pokerroom 4/19/05 15% up to $150
True Poker 4/21/05 40% up to $150
Party 4/22/05 20% up to $100
Interpoker 4/23/05 $30 bonus for 300 hands
Absolute Poker 20% up to $200 (7 Times during the month)

As mentioned, you also have the Cryptos (which are worth around $300 per month), the Bodog bottomless bonus and sign-up bonuses from many others.

not to forget that this month had a 5,000 $ bonus from Games Grid :-)

Re: This Month sucked for Bonuses...WTF
 

I understand why a good player multitabling 3/6 wouldn't bother chasing bonuses much.

I was sad to see Party didn't continue the 200/mo bonus trend. There was a $100 reload at Multi, but the slow clear rate made it worse than rakeback.

I made up for it by playing many of Party's High Hand JP tables when it was still in beta and there was no drop(extra $412).

Next month could be worse. It's possible that there will be only a 100 from Party and no Empire reload at all.

That lazy basturd has played more hands than 99% of posters here. Maybe he should have worded it "This month sucked for bonuses that aren't a -ev use of my time...WTF"

GG is king grinder, I don't think laziness is an issue.

Re: This Month sucked for Bonuses...WTF
 

Weird since I made 320 in bonuses from Party reloads alone.

Re: This Month sucked for Bonuses...WTF
 

You aren't looking hard enough.. just this past week 3x absolute, ultimatebet, interpoker, party, and truepoker.

yes you are both right.I am a rakeback whore.I make 4.40 cents per hand in $3-6Full and $6.90 cents per hand in $5-10 6MAX.I deposited for the PR $150 bonus as always and the True Poker bonus but yesterday I checked into TP and it was empty-I cashed out of there.Yes all I was hinting at is that it seems Party/Party skins are offering fewer bonuses of late.

Re: This Month sucked for Bonuses...WTF
 

Bonuses March --> 990.00
Bonuses April --> 915.00

I did not hit Carribean yet. I did not play Bodog and I am not counted $200+ uncleared at Absolute from this weekend.

And I did play True Poker or Pokeroom this week.

Re: This Month sucked for Bonuses...WTF
 

You can usually find a couple of games of 3/6 and 5/10 running at Bodog, and with the new clearing rate it's not so bad of a site. Definitely ahead of Truepoker for me. Also, I'll reiterate that you should definitely be playing on Crypto if you have the time, competition isn't great and the bonuses are easy, at least the Will Hill, Total Bet, and UK Betting hourly ones are still.

The only difference I see from previous months is Party offered a $100 instead of a $200 bonus. So that accounts for $100 of the $1100 difference in bonus dollars. Not sure where the other $1000 came from the previous month if you are only doing Party/skins.

Re: This Month sucked for Bonuses...WTF
 

long time lurker, first day poster and newb to bonus whoring. i've done the party poker bonus and absolute, which cater to low limit bonus whores, like myself. but i want to maximize bonus whoring, so i am curious what the usual level that one would have to play at in order to get the bonus at some of the others sites. seems like its 2/4 or 3/6, but what about for NL play?

thanks for any replies!

Re: This Month sucked for Bonuses...WTF
 

Hmm, $60 from Party, $40 from UB, and $370 at AP. Oh, and $30 from GG.
