Easiest Bonuses to Clear

[ALav10]

It ahs been my experience that the Party ReLoad bonuses are by far the easiest to clear. I am just wondering why this is? It seems that so many people want to play on Party that their bonuses would/could be harder??

IMO it is the opposite of what you would think...Party can offer easier to clear bonuss because a higher percentage of those receiving the bonus will stay or are all ready regular players...Where as at the smaller sites they(the site) MUST turn a profit on the clearing..Where Party can breakeven or even take a small loss and still gain in the long run..

The Intercasino "come back, 1 raked hand for $20" are the easiest by far.

plus everyone adding money to pp bank account,
gives them free interest until everyone clears their bonus and cashes out

they have an attractive/profitable business case

it's puzzling why stars doesn't exercise the same strategy

It is a little strange. My first site was PokerStars and for the most part, I really like their software over all others. It is a pretty good site to start on with a low 25 min. deposit and no limit at how long you can stay at the sub .50/1 limits like Party. However, I can't ignore the bonuses that I can snag at Party, and I've been able to find better games at party, but that could just be blind luck.

I still need to look at WPEX obviously, but the Party bonuses are so easy to clear at even very low limits they are hard to ignore for a "hobbiest" like me.

River Belle is very easy to clear.

Check out the BonusWhores grid for .50/1 if you are playing those limits to find the best clearance rates.

I have played at Party, Prima, Paradise and ipoker but never Stars. Why would I? The others either have a suitable spread of games, reasonable traffic, softer games and/or better bonuses. Stars doesn't seem to stand out in any particular respect - but maybe I'm missing something?

You probably wouldn't.

I started with $30 bucks and not knowing what I was doing. Several sites don't offer limits below .50/1, Party I think throws you out of the beginners tables after I think 45 days. I was able to work my way up through .02/.04, .05/.10, .10/.20 limits. Stars has no deposit bonus for me to miss out on by only depositing $30. There are also .10 and 1+.10 MTT for getting your feet wet, as well as 1+.20 45 person SNGs.

As a whole, Stars software feels the most "Polished" to me.
