Hey - I have a new role model!

Any interest in detailing your whoring? Be interested to see how many hands you played, how many hours, how many sites, etc...

Congrats!

As a rough estimate, you can make about $20-40/hour on poker bonuses if you 4-table microlimits or small buyin NL.

Casino bonuses depend on your risk tolerance. It can be $10/hour if you are timid, or $50/hour if your not.

Do all the recurring Crypto poker bonuses every month, do all the good recurring casino bonuses every month, do the max of every Party/Empire/PokerNow reload you can get your hands on, and hit Paradise/Stars/etc when you have some free time.

Properly bankrolled, with a few nights a week, a few hours a night, you should be able to clear well over $1k a month in bonuses (before counting your poker winnings).

How much did you start out with (if you only set aside a certain amount of money to BW with)? I'm just starting my BW endeavor with a beginning bankroll of $100, and I hope not to use anymore than that. So far I'm +$250 after one site, so I'll probably be able to BW two sites once I cashout.

My total is poker only. No casino

My bankroll hit $500 in mid January and is was non-stop bonus whoring from there. I averaged 50 hours a month during the year playing 3 tables at a time. Now that Absolute has unlimted bonuses I am clearing a bonus 99% of the time.

My bonus earned per hour was $16 for the year. LAst few months it is around $19

These are the only sites I play:
Party
Empire
Pokernow
Pokerroom
Pokerstars
Paradise
UB
Pacific
Absolute
Interpoker
Carribean sun
Pokerplex
Will Hill
Totalbet
UKbetting
Classic Poker

I started at 1/2 moned to 2/4 and am now 50% 3/6 50% 5/10.
All 6max

Thanks all for a great 2004. Your insight and knowledge made me a lot of $

After the party skins, what are the best poker rooms to bonus whore? Multitabling is not a problem.

Im talking in terms of effort required to clear bonus/actual bonus amount.

I'm not casino averse, I've done quite a few, but haven't done any reloads there. What are the best monthly reloads and such for the casinos?

Hit Crypto mid-month. $300+ total from six sites (InterPoker, PokerPlex, Caribbean Sun, TotalBet, William Hill, UKBetting).

If you 4-table, you can knock out the latter three in about four hours combined. Plex and Sun require 550 total non-raked hands (about three hours of play combined) and then 450 raked hands at Inter (about four hours or so).

All told, you are looking at about 11-12 hours of play...so about a week if you play 2 hours a night, much less if you are a no-good whore. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

They used to be the Crypto casinos. However, the details of those casinos were posted several times on 2+2. Not suprisingly, almost all those Crypto bonuses disappeared the very next month. I started heavily whoring monthly casino bonuses in September, and now the list of good sites is about 1/4 of what it was then.

The hard part with the good casino bonuses is researching and finding them, and getting as much as you can for as many months as you can before it surfaces on 2+2. Once that happens, the bonus is almost always dead the very next month.

I think I've just been enlightened.

I had no idea this was possible...I only play party skins and paradise, but will certainly reconsider now.

Wow.

PS: Any word on how this compares to rakeback?

[AncientPC]

Rakeback really depends on what limits you play.

[B00T]

it beats rakeback, especially the Crypto sites.
