Online Poker Bonus is one alluring thing that attracts many gamblers to go online to play poker from the comfort of their home. All online poker rooms give poker bonuses to their players. The amount of bonus may vary from casino to casino. There are three kinds of online poker bonuses available at online casinos.
No Deposit Bonus - This online poker bonus does not need any money deposit. After signing up for an online Poker Room that offers a ‘No Deposit Bonus’ as per the instructions, the account gets credited with online poker bonus within just 72 hours. Well, it depends on room to room, some credit within 48 hours. The ‘No Deposit’ bonus can range from $3 up to $50. This kind of ‘Poker Bonus’ is great if a player is new to the poker scene. A new player can practice with real money without any risk of loosing money. However, the downside is that the player is not able to take part of the first deposit bonus if he makes a deposit and then plays with his own money. Poker Rooms do not allow any player to have more than one account at a time.
First Deposit Bonus – This online poker bonus is a bonus that is given by a Poker Room based on the size of the first deposit. Mostly the first deposit bonus is a 100% bonus with the first deposit that a player makes. For instance, if a poker room offers a 100% bonus on the first deposit for a deposit of $200 maximum, it means if a player deposits an amount of $200, an extra $200 will be given to him. But getting this online poker bonus in real is not that easy. Well, the bonus is surely awarded to the player after the first deposit, but it remains in his account and he cannot use the bonus until he meets certain requirements – that are better known as ‘Wagering Requirements’. Now, these requirements vary from room to room for poker. For instance, the “Tower Gaming” poker room offers a first deposit bonus with a very low wagering requirement; a player needs to generate only 5 player points for every $ as an online poker bonus. This means that it needs a sum of 1000 player points to be able to clear that $200 online poker bonus.
If a player plays a ‘Sit and Go’ tournament, then this online poker bonus equals to rake back of 100% as the player is awarded 5 player points for every dollar paid as tournament fee. Another one ‘PokerLoco’, offers a great opportunity to the players to get a 100% bonus on the first deposit for a max deposit of $250. The best part is that the online poker bonus can be cleared at 5 player points per bonus dollar.
Reload/Freeload Bonus – This kind of poker bonus is usually offered as an additional online poker bonus. This is also called a ‘freeload’ or ‘reload’ bonus. The main difference between these two online poker bonuses is that with a reload poker bonus, it needs an additional deposit to the account, while the ‘freeload’ poker bonus is credited automatically when a poker bonus code is entered on the site. The ‘FreeLoad’ bonus is offered every month at some Poker rooms. The ‘Freeload’ bonus is usually cleared at 10 player point per bonus dollar.
So, go ahead and grab some online poker bonuses and jump to the tables!

A little look at budget management – now trust me this will improve your game providing you stick to rules…
The good thing about poker these days is there is always a game to be found online regardless of your budget, but not every player stays in their budget range. The problem for a lot of players is that a large majority of people still look at poker as 30 minutes of gambling – but these sorts of player will tend to deposit a certain amount and put the whole lot at risk in a mater of minutes.
So what should we do?
Well, different people deal with this principle in different ways – personally, if I know I have a certain budget to play with, then I like to stick to a few (in my opinion) helpful rules. Say I have a certain amount as my bankroll for one day, in my first game I will look to put between 20 to 25% at risk. So lets say I’m risking 25% in my first sit down, and assume things went badly, so I’ve lost the 25% of my initial budget.
Ok, so I’m down but I’m not out, at least I’m managing my funds, and giving myself the best chance to get back in the game. So now we must go out to play again with 75% of your initial budget remaining – so in order to ensure I last a few more games, I’m going to set myself 25% of what I have left to play with, so even if the worst were still to happen in this game, I’ll still have over half (56.25%) of what I started with, rather than nothing.
However, obviously saying that you’ll lose (at worst) 43.75% of your budget in two games is a worst case scenario – we’re hoping that, with our help, you aren’t losing at all and you’re on your way to becoming a poker shark!
So on this second stage of play, let’s say I’ve had a good win and increased my bankroll – now, rather than go and risk all my winnings, I’ll apply the same rules to what I can risk in the next game. This will mean that regardless of the result in the next game, you’ve still got a good portion of your winnings.
Trust me when I say that small profits are much better than big losses.
Keep this up and you will be making a tidy profit in no time, and even if you fail to win – and with the help on this site in our video lessons section or the information in our blogs, you shouldn’t – then the amount of game-play you will get for your cash, and level of experience will no doubt increase.
How long could, say £100 last on a 25% scale? Let’s work it out…see the handy table on our site. Click here!
So, sticking to this rule we’d get 11 games out of our money – however, this is a real worst case scenario, but does show that for this money you’re getting a lot of gaming experience. Obviously, if you’ve been working through the advice we’ve been giving out, for free, in our videos, blogs or help-sheets, then you really shouldn’t be losing 11 games in a row anyway.
