Bonus Whoring for a Bankroll
I am currently working with someone who is just starting out in the game, and I am trying to bring them up to speed as quickly as possible. He has some experience, but needs a lot of work.
Our goal is to get $1000 as quick as possible, and I am wondering what the best approach is for bonus whoring. He has $600 to throw around, and I was thinking of putting him at full tilt for a 100% bonus. I am not sure if the $/hand is the best deal out there though. I imagine that he will be able to play .5/1 for now, but hopefully move up to 1/2 or 2/4 pretty quickly. Any suggestions for the best approach? |

Party + IGMPAY
Empire + IGMPAY Paradise Bet365 Betfred that will turn $600 into $1000+ no problem playing just 50c/$1 limit. definitely forget about Full Tilt. at $1/2 limit your friend can also add the Crypto skins and Absolute. |

Casinos - Do you research.
Poker sites(Party depo(100), Stars depo's(For later on), paradise(100), Bet365(150), Empire(100). you can get $1k from that lost i reckon |

Re: Bonus Whoring for a Bankroll
$600 is enough to hit a ton of easy bonuses. Full Tilt's bonus is not an easy bonus to clear. While waiting to clear a $600 Full Tilt bonus, you will be missing thousands of dollars of other bonuses.
If you can play break-even poker at $1-$2, you can get paid $9/table-hour for 5 table-hours each month at William Hill, TotalBet, and UKBetting, for a total of about $135/month. Bet365 not only has a nice initial bonus, it has been giving out $100 for 500 raked hands at $1-$2 or NL $100 for the past few months. BW bonus grid |

Re: Bonus Whoring for a Bankroll
At $600 you want to look at what bonuses will clear quickly at low limits. Party is great. If you find someone offering a stars deposit bonus that is great because it clears really quickly. Paradise also clears rapidly. Avoid absolute / Eurobet / Full tilt / noble etc. These bonuses are only doable at 2/4 and above. In short, party, paradise and stars will give you $250 + whatever you win. In addition to that, Bet 365 will give you the $150 you need to get to a thousand.

[/ QUOTE ] Stars is NOT a good recommendation if the OP says that his friend will start at 50c/$1 limits. even at $1/2, you only need a $10 pot to count on absolute vs. $15 on stars (though 20c bonus vs. 10c can compensate for that). with proper table selection, absolute is not that tight where you would avoid playing $1/2 there altogether. |

Re: Bonus Whoring for a Bankroll
Not the deposit bonus from stars; some affiliates offers $50 if you sign up under them at stars. This only takes 100 FPP to clear and receive. I am not talking about the 20% bonuses they offer 4 x a year.

Re: Bonus Whoring for a Bankroll
Stars gives out atleast $70 (they give out more if you sign up people en mass) for each person signed up who plays 100 FPP worth. I'm shocked you can't find people willing to pay out $50 or more... I just assumed most affiliates would offer atleast half of the amount they make. I (as stated) offer $50 but assumed that would be the industry average.

Stars bonuses do clear very well when playing SnG's though. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
