Re: $50 -> $5500
That's a bit tough accepting no US players at all, wow. I had my first taste of that with Carbon Poker and Bet Fair knocking me back (I'm an Aussie). Was disappointing because Carbon looked to have some good deals. They do accept U.S players though.

Re: $50 -> $5500
I just checked the PSO website, and it certainly looks like they're allowing Americans to sign up for the PokerStars promo.
Many of the bonuses you list are either not available to Americans (the iPoker and OnGame bonuses) or are among the worst on the Internet (pretty sure nobody offers a worse bonus than UltimateBet). |

Re: $50 -> $5500
Yeah, I'm really not sure where Sunny is getting this from. I've never heard of PSO cutting Stars for Americans, nor of Savvy having no offers for Americans.

Re: $50 -> $5500
well what I mean by PSO not having any more offers is that their offer for PokerStars is to earn PSO points and then exchange them for gifts like gift cards. if thats what you guys mean? they only offer additional bonuses (bonus on top of signup bonus) for Absolute and UB
as far as bonuswhores, should I just follow all their recommendations based on the limits/type of game/type of bonuses I want? |

[/ QUOTE ] Sigh. That is EXACTLY what we're talking about. It's as good as cash at PSO, because you can get gift certs at poker rooms. Savvy lets you transfer to Moneybookers, but that doens't work for Americans...not sure if they've set up an alternative for you guys yet. Bonuswhores will give you a good idea where you should be targeting your efforts. They have a grid you can customize that allows you to filter out non-US rooms, and enter your game and stakes. This will rank the sites for you in terms of clearance rates, which allows you to prioritize which ones you should go after first. Then make sure you sign up for each room in the way that maximizes your return...either rakeback or kickbacks if there are any. |

Re: $50 -> $5500
Hey guys, this is Mike from PokerSavvy and I just wanted to clear up a few misconceptions being thrown around in this thread...
First of all, PokerSavvy does accept and offer bonuses for players from the United States. We have bonuses for PokerStars, Absolute, UltimateBet, Poker.com/Carbon Poker and Bodog, all of them open to residents of the United States. While we cannot offer Moneybookers transfers to US players, we do offer virtual and physical Visa gift cards which you can use just like cash and work for depositing on some poker sites. Specifically, I know the Visa cards we ship can be redeemed at Full Tilt. If you guys have any other questions about PokerSavvy, just let me know! |

Re: $50 -> $5500
Some problems with your plan.
A fair number of rooms on your list, you can't play at. Its also going to take you a lifetime to get to the end of step 3. We are talking 3-4 months assuming your not playing too high of stakes and your not playing more hours then humanly possible. You also need rakeback at fulltilt and ultimate bet. Make sure you do your research, and if in doubt even PM me and i'll help you out. Once you get to a 1k roll send me a pm and i'll help you get in the right direction. Assuming your starting with $50 i can almost guarantee you won't get far down that list unfortunately. Have a nice day. |

Re: $50 -> $5500
Well the PSO points you get for Stars is a [censored] bargain lol.
$120 for 250 points. This is what you need to understand. The bonuses you talk about clearing are insanely high (for the most part) in terms of raked hands per dollar. PSO offers basically make good bonuses great and bad bonuses worth doing. |
