Poker Bonus Offers

A "poker signup bonus" is an incentive offered by an online poker room to motivate a player to deposit money and play their cash games. Usually this bonus takes the form of some type of matching funds, which are made available as the player spends time playing at the tables. Many online poker rooms have absurd requirements in order to clear this bonus.

Signup bonuses can be great for new players with small bankrolls though. The free money from a deposit bonus can be used by a winning player as leverage to grow their bankroll into something respectable enough to play some of the larger games online. Even a break-even player could theoretically show a bit of profit by taking advantage of some poker signup bonuses.

Poker Bonus Codes

Some online poker sites require that you input a bonus code when you make your deposit in order to claim your bonus. This serves a dual purpose. Besides entitling you to to your bonus funds, the bonus code also tells the poker site who referred you, so they develop a better understanding of how their marketing efforts are working for them.

NETeller

If you live in the USA, a lot of credit cards will probably decline when you try to make a deposit at an online gaming site. Paypal no longer allows any type of online gambling transactions either. Luckily there is a service similar to Paypal called NETeller which is also an online wallet like Paypal, but they do allow online gambling transactions.

The first step in taking advantage of online poker bonus offers is to set up a NETeller account so you can easily get funds into your poker account.

Terms and Conditions

Always read the terms and conditions of any bonus offer you take advantage of. For one thing, you don't want to unwittingly invalidate your bonus by doing something wrong you didn't know about. Reading the terms of service will also enable you to figure out how much play it's going to take to actually clear the bonus and collect your funds.

We've mentioned this on several pages, but we're going to mention it again here: PokerStars is the best place to play poker on the Internet. They do not have an ongoing signup bonus program, but they do run occasional special offers and bonuses. You can find these by check here: PokerStars Poker Bonus Promotions.
