Building a roll through bonuses

[Ryanj37]

A friend of mine got $75 for free and he wants to turn this into a roll to play NL25 with as quickly as possible. Which sites should he go to build his roll up? Non US as well.

Thank you

[KingofNits2]

everest, they got nice 100$ sign up bonus that clears really fast (fastest i think). Also a soft site.

Poker stars and Full Tilt both have 100% bonus

Hit up PSO and PokerSavvy to get some kickbacks with your signup bonuses. Just don't cut off any future RB options.

Yes, but he's not a US player...there are much better/easier bonuses out there for him.

Edit to add: The more I think about it, the less I understand why anyone would even post this. No mention of how easy the bonuses are to clear, how much they are, or anything else. What site DOESN'T have a 100% bonus, or something similar? Not many. They are two of the toughest sites out there, FT clears poorly at low limits, and since Stars doesn't offer RB you should never sign up there without doing so through a kickback affiliate. It's great that you want to help, and I don't want to discourage anyone from posting, but this just doesn't seem very well thought out.

Thanks for your reply Bobo fett. What is kickback?

Affiliates are paid by the poker sites for bringing them new players. Many are paid a portion of the rake, and some of these affiliates share that money with the players - this is rakeback. Other sites pay out a one-time fee...some of their affiliates share this with the players in the way of kickbacks, which usually take the form of points that can be exchanged for a variety of good stuff. PSO and PokerSavvy are the two best "kickback" affiliates I have dealt with.

ryan seriously go to everest poker, that 100$ bonus clears sick fast, i think its the fastest clearing sign up bonus on the net. Since your playing micro stakes, thats basicly what you look at.

But make sure you do it through an affiliate. 2+2 has a book offer there, AND an EXTRA $100 bonus.

The Party one on PSO ($120+$25 from PP) would be ideal for your mate. You can clear that playing 5NL easily enough. That wouldn't put the BR at risk either.

Where can I find this affiliate bobo fett?

If you're talking about the Everest offer, its 2+2...the very site you're on right now. Go to the upper left of your screen, above all the forum names...you should see a link that says "Non–US new players get five 2+2 books". They have offers there for Everest and others.

[NNNNOOOOONAN]

wtf, $75 isn't a big enough roll for $25NL, since when?

[BotOnTilt]

Ryan, I would suggest your friend took Party from PSO ($120 + deposit bonus) I think it can be cleared at NL5, at least I got my instant bankroll cleared at that level. Then he could take Noble through Savvy, which can be cleared at NL10 (about $100 in bonus). I think Stars can also be cleared at NL10 ($120 from PSO + $50 from stars). After these he should be rolled for NL25 if he can play better than break-even poker.

I dont think that party bonus is there anymore. Its only the standard $25 free or 30% up to 150

I just checked, and it sure is. Under "Free Gifts", choose Party. 200 points clears the PSO bonus.

Id recommend him doing mansion poker through 1deal.ca

you get 100dollars for earning 20 points( 10dollars in tournament fees and also rly fast in cashgame)

I just wired 40 bucks there, sat down at 2 nl100 fullring tables(only possible to find 2 full ones european afternoon/evening tough).

Then i opened up heroes, watched the hero episode while folding every hand.

I was down by 15dollars from blinds, and you get 100dollars from one deal.

[Bobo Fett]

1) Sounds a little spammy naming a site that requires a referral code before we can even go to the site...are you hoping for PMs?

2) Asking for trouble folding every hand to get a bonus. You may well be all right, but Mansion might not be happy with your bonus abuse if they watch for such things. Why not actually play poker?

3) Until I actually hear about a few people being paid by this site, I'll stick with PokerSavy's deal there. From the sounds of what you described, Savvy's isn't as good, but I KNOW I'll be paid there.

[orlov]

1) mh I dont think I used a referral code when signing up, and no im not related to 1deal in any way nor am I hoping for pms

2) I do realize that this is somewhat abusive, however i did plan to play short stack strategy and just turned out to be card dead over the 80ish hands i played

3) ill report back once their cheque arrives (if it does :P)

[Bobo Fett]

Am I going to the wrong site then? I just went to 1deal.ca again, and it requires a referral code or login to see anything. At the bottom of the page it says "This is a private website and you must have a valid referral code to login."

I just cleared it, so don't know where you get your misinformation.

[Cody1982]

Fulltilt has a %100 bounus up to $600. If I deposit the $600 what would be a good limit to play and clear the bounus in the 120 days given to clear it.

That seems like approaching it from completely the wrong direction. I would be looking for bonuses that clear well at my game/limit, not the other way around.

That being said, you might get some answers if you told us what game and how much you play.

[Cody1982]

I mainly play 1/2 NL 3 tables and .25/.50 NL if i 6 table it that's the most I can play right now

2+2 everest deal. It clears very easily, even at ultramicro stakes (clears real quick for me at .25/.50 limit)

what rate?

[john_all_in]

I'd definitely recommend everest. Just signed up through the 2+2 link. The bonus is pretty easy to clear(im only playing NL(0.10). Also looking forward to the free books :P

[ADK]

how longs it take to clear / whats requirements etc

[john_all_in]

Not totally sure of the specifics. The bonus doesnt need to be cleared in bulk, they just add it to your account after each session. Ive played about 1k hands on the site so far and cleared around 8 dollars i think, bear(bare?) in mind this is NL(0.10). Also if you sign up through 2+2 i understand you recieve an extra 100 dollars, thats still pending in my account so not sure if that works the same way....
