Aspinalls does not allow US players. If you click on any of their links and are from the US, it brings you to crazy poker! I found 2 primas yesterday that allow US players. 5x, 50% up to 200$............virtualcity poker and goldentigerpoker. However, there is a downside to both of these..... check is the only form of cashout for US players. They say 21 days or less! So that might be a bit long for a player with a lesser roll!

VirtualCity and GoldenTiger are 10xRH, not 5x.

I've been interested in how the FRNL games at Cake and Prima are post-legislation. Looking at your list, I would drop Cake in favor of Eurolinx (Prima) as they have recently revamped their bonus program. If what I am reading on BW is correct, you can get a nice hourly per-table rate even if you only played break-even poker; especially for your initial signup bonus.

Save Cake for rakeback in case you like it enough to want to stay there for a while. Send me a PM if you sign at either of these if you would just to let me know what the games are like.

Nothing wrong with adding some extra incentive, but even if your bonus was worth 100% rakeback (which its not) and he was playing 2 tables of 50NL (which he won't be) it would be a huge grind to clear $300 in rake in a week.

Nothing wrong with adding extra incentives, just saying unless he has a hidden $1k roll to start with and wants to play $100NL hes not clearing $300 of your bonus by the end of august since doing so would be practicly impossible at your weird $25NL game.

When bonuswhoring dollar amounts and percentages are not even nearly as important as how fast the bonus clears, and how long you have to clear it.

Re: US player bonus whoring mission $50 to $1000
 

finally got started

I played 618 hands so far of $10FRNL and earned 42 points so it looks like it will take me about 7400 hands to clear. Not great

Re: US player bonus whoring mission $50 to $1000
 

You are talking about which bonus?
Because ive done the step1 and i dont knwo if i should deposit my 300$ to UB or to TRuEPoker, which one is the easiest to clear?

I am still on step 1.

for step two I am going to do UB because you only have to deposit $100 but looking at bonuswhores it looks like truepoker ($200 @ 100%) clears faster. If you already have the $200 doing truepoker then UB, where you could player higher stakes, more tables or both would make a lot sense.

if you have the information I think it would be helpful to post what games and how many hands/buy ins you played as complete each step.

good luck

That Pstars bonus is tough with such a small BR. To play a $10 FRNLHE you'd only start with five full buy ins. Are you playing the $0.02-$0.05 or $O.05-$0.10 blinds?

There's a thread here somewhere about Chris Ferguson's journey from $1 to $20,000. He never bought in a game for more than 5% of his bankroll. Is this what you're doing or are you taking shots? If you go in shortstacked then you can probably use something similar to Sklansky's system and have +EV if you clear your bonus.
On the other hand if you play once cent two cent you'll never get the points to clear it on p-stars. Are you using a strategy like this or are you playing your normal game?
