Default what additional site(s) are worth adding to the rotation?

Based on the sites I like (or hate), which sites am I missing out on from a bonus-whoring perspective?

sites I like:
Party: lousy bonuses, but wild+loose tables. lots of profit.
Ultimatebet:
great software, great bonuses. i do well here, but the games are certainly tighter and the've had a number of software issues lately.
Intercasino: Actually, I hate the software - but the monthly bonuses are WAY too good to pass up.
PokerStars: I'm neutral on this site right now. The only thing I really like are the variety of sit-n-go tournaments (heads up, 2 table, etc...). Earning this latest bonus hardly seems worth it though.

sites I hate:
absolute poker: no bonus is worth having to deal with this software, and the ridiculous cashout policy for bonuses (30 days). I will be cashing out in a few weeks, and never plan on playing there again.

The names I seem to hear most (that I don't currently play) are Pacific and True. Do either of those offer bonuses frequently enough to make them worth playing?

If you can stand the speed of intercasino why not hit up some of their skins that have monthly play bonuses. Here is a list of the good ones

caribbean sun poker- $40 for 250 raked hands each month. They also have a first deposit bonus but i think it must be cleared in their casino.

willhill- get payed 5 pounds per hour to play there each month (25 pound max).

pokerplex- $25 each month for playing 150 hands

littlewoods poker (US players not eligable)- 25 pounds for 250 hands played each month

hope this helps

Pacific rarely offers bonuses, and they're not very good ones. Also, the software is worse than any I've seen except for Intercasino. The main plus is that the players are about as good as the software, even at fairly high limits. I used to play there a lot for this reason, but it's so annoying compared to the better sites that I've cut back. I haven't tried True yet.

With some reservation, I would check out the pokerroom bonus through
cardplayer.com. It's 20% up to 200%.

The software is pretty slow, and the bonus takes forever,but there are many
fishy games on that site.

If you do end up doing it, just play a couple tables at another faster site at the same time to retain your sanity.

Besides the software, the customer support and cashout times are great.

Is Intercasino's software that bad? I'm thinking of adding that to my list. Can you play multiple tables there?

You are missing the $50 every sunday this month (still one left) at Paradise.

Software is yummy as ever and the lower limits are getting easier.

The software is pretty bad. Yes, I believe you can play multiple tables. The $50 dollar bonus, combined with the $80 casino bonus (where $2000+ must be wagered) is WELL worth it. Also, they frequently have prop offers to get games started.

Despite the bad software, I couldn't imagine passing up the easy money each month. I've made out very well with the blackjack bonuses each month.

I assume you include all the skins for Party and Intercasino in your rotation. If not, you're missing out on quite a bit!

Other than that, I would recommend Paradise. This used to be a tough site, but since this months promotion (10% up to $50 every Sunday), games have gotten pretty soft. Only 1 Sunday left this month, however you can also make another 25% up to $50 for your first deposit.

Paradise's software and customer support is probably one of the best in the industry.

If someone from Paradise is reading - Do this more!
Good Software, good recurring bonus, loose games - you could double your players!
