A Summary of Deposit Bonuses. Post 6 of 6

This is the final post in my series on deposit bonuses. Hopefully you are now convinced how impotant they are.

If you still need convincing I suggest you read my post on how I earnt $10,000 in 2007 bonus whoring.

Alternatively, you can read about how I earnt $5400 in one deposit bonus.

I hope you've taken a look at my table ranking the deposit bonuses of the top online poker rooms.

Below is a summary of what you need to know about deposit bonuses:

• Not all online poker rooms offer the same deposit bonuses so shop around first.
• You should join a new online poker room if you are not currently receiving a deposit bonus.
• Always deposit the maximum to get the full deposit bonus – unless you know you won’t unlock the bonus in time.
• Be aware of how long you have to complete your bonus. Choose a deposit bonus that gives you longer to complete it.
• If you are on a tight budget choose an online poker room that pays out the deposit bonus in small increments.
• Be aware that some online poker rooms pay the deposit bonus at a much quicker rate than others. Choose these poker rooms.
• Winning poker players make the most out of every situation so make the most out of this information.

Bonus Whoring - How I made $10,000

Bonus whoring is the act of joining an online poker room simply to take advantage of the deposit bonus they offer new players.

Earning a deposit bonus can have a massive impact on your profits. To see an example of this check out an article I wrote about the deposit bonus I earnt at Hollywood Poker. Click here.

In 2007, I joined over 20 different online poker rooms accumulating deposit bonuses in excess of $10,000. This made a major difference to my profits and was simply an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. You may not play poker professionally but the least you should do is take advantage of a deposit bonus the next time you play. With deposit bonuses expiring on average every three months even a recreational player should be looking to join at least 4 new online poker rooms a year.

I think you should start your whoring ways today. However, not all deposit bonuses are the same. Click here to see the best deposit bonuses.
