How much $ did you make from bonuses last year?
 

I'm talking about poker, casinos and sportsbooks combined. I made $13.5K. This is a significant decline from 2005 when I made $19.4K. I predict that number will go even lower this year, now that US players have fewer sites to play, and thus fewer bonuses. I'm estimating $6-8K this year.

I really miss the Cryptos. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Now I actually have to be good at poker to make a living.

For people who keep track of these numbers, have you noticed a similar decline?

Re: How much $ did you make from bonuses last year?
 

I Didn't keep accurate records untill about 1/2 way through 2005

But I made about $17k from bonuses in 2006, and about $1.5k from actually playing poker!

About 6700

Just under 2K from Casinos (including the 1K from Mansion on the Steelers promo) and the remainder from poker

I'm aiming for around $4K this year only as I find the Casino chases boring as hell and am only sticking to poker. Unfortunately the poker bonuses are drying up compared to previous years as well. I'm Canadian so I can still do the Cryptos, but that would be a last resort

Re: How much $ did you make from bonuses last year?
 

My numbers aren't quite so telling because I started casino whoring in the middle of 2005. $10k in 2005, and $12k in 2006. If 2005 had been a full year, it would've obviously been much larger.

I've quit casino whoring altogether and with money tied up in NETeller and difficulty moving money from site to site, I don't plan on trying any new casinos or poker sites. I estimate this year that probably 90-95% of my gambling income will come strictly from playing poker (and rakeback) and maybe 5-10% (and even this is optimistic) will come from bonuses.

Re: How much $ did you make from bonuses last year?
 

$15,500 from poker, casinos, and sportsbook bonuses/arbs although Neteller has about $5000 of that now.

Re: How much $ did you make from bonuses last year?
 

-$3252359325

at least it feels like it

Re: How much $ did you make from bonuses last year?
 

I've been making the bonus/rakeback transition due to equal parts desire/necessity. 2005 was 11K/4K while 2006 was 5K/32K. I expect the trend to continue as well due to lack of bonuses/lack of ways to move money around efficiently to get the bonuses that are available.

Re: How much $ did you make from bonuses last year?
 

I gained about $40k through my casino play last year. I did not play poker or sportsbook significantly. I plan to get more into poker this year.

Re: How much $ did you make from bonuses last year?
 

$800 I think. I got lucky.

Re: How much $ did you make from bonuses last year?
 

$3600 in bonuses and $28.6K in prop pay last year. $5400 in bonuses and $54K in prop pay in 2005.

Re: How much $ did you make from bonuses last year?
 

$13520 Poker only. Don't do casinos and never kept track of sportsbooks.

Be surprised if I make 1/2 that this year as I don't do Absolute and UB any more.

Re: How much $ did you make from bonuses last year?

Re: How much $ did you make from bonuses last year?
 

I made around 5500 $ last Year from casinos and poker combined. Most of it from bonuses.
I expect to make more this Year as I made around 650$ in January.

But it is only a hobby for me. I work full time in IT business.

Re: How much $ did you make from bonuses last year?
 

it's one of those threads again... they seem to pop up once in a while and I have yet to figure out the purpose of them...

well I guess I will be a good whore too and tell the world about how little I actually do work and how I just watch my bank account fill up... I made some last year.. more than some of you.. less than some.

Re: How much $ did you make from bonuses last year?

I think you're a little late to the party. Casino bonuses are mostly dead, especially for Americans.

The largest I bet is $3 a hand.

A large chunk of last years profit for me came from the "clearplay" Baccarat+roulette system, which I've pretty much all used up now. I've also been bonus banned at most of the good monthlies, 32red etc, casinoeuro group, So I'm expecting a much tougher year this year for bonuses.

Although I'm sure if we keep our eyes open some +ev deals will surface.
