The Difference Between Deposit Bonuses. Post 4 of 6

Even though a lot of deposit bonuses appear alike they are often drastically different.

For instance, at Absolute Poker you get a 100% deposit bonus up to $500. You will have 60 days to complete the bonus and it will be released to you in increments of $5. For every dollar of rake that you pay you will earn 1 Point. As 6 Points are worth a dollar you have to pay $6 in rake to earn $1 of your bonus. So you are getting 16.7% of your rake returned in the form of a bonus.

At Ladbrokes Poker they appear to offer exactly the same deposit bonus: 100% up to $500. You again have 60 days to complete the bonus and it is released to you in increments of $10. For every dollar of rake you pay you will earn 20 Player Points. As 30 Player Points are worth a dollar you have to pay $1.50 in rake to earn $1 of your bonus. So you are getting 67.5% of your rake returned.

There is therefore a massive difference between the Ladbrokes Poker offer and the Absolute Poker offer despite the fact that they appear to be the same. You will earn your Ladbrokes Poker deposit bonus almost four times quicker!

In the next post I'll show you exactly how good you online poker room's deposit bonus is.
