Default Recommendations for new bonus to clear?

After 22 hours of a fun but failed attempt to hit a PokerStars milestone hand with a good group of 2+2ers, I'm feeling an urge to go collect some guaranteed free money from a poker site.

I cleared the TopRankedPoker 600 euro 5x bonus pretty quickly, and thought there might be another good option at B2B. I checked out bonuswhores, as well as going to most of the B2B rooms websites manually, and the best I could find was Bamba (8.57x up to 140 Euro).

Can anyone recommend any other good (i.e., easy to clear) initial deposit bonii at B2B (or maybe another network) that I may have missed? I play mostly NL (blinds $0.25 up to $4).

I already have accounts at / have cleared most of the usual suspects (Party/Paradise/PStars/Crypto/Pacific/Empire/Bodog) and have sworn off Prima for life.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
J

the BW forums have some good info about all the B2B's. i'd deeply scan there for as much info as possible

maybe you could try some pokerroom skins, but i've got a strong suspicion they suck for bonuses

if casino.net and friends (boss media) is still 5x, that might be a good play to go as well but i've got a feeling they've stopped giving away money that easily

Thanks, I didn't see them on BW. Bonus is decent- 100% up to $250, 10x raked hands.

Is there a minimum rake taken? For instance is your playing NL and a pot is $1 and 5cents is raked, does that hand count?

Thanks for the reply.

I did go through the B2Bs on BW and around 9x looks like the best out there ATM. I had read somewhere about 5x bonuses other than TopRanked but can't find any. I emailed 66poker about whether they have a 600 euro for 3,000 VIP bonus but haven't heard back.
I'm going to dig around for a good PokerRoom skin bonus.

For Boss/casino.net, the 1st 2 skins I've looked have a deposit bonus that seems to be just a lame 20%-25% of your rake back up to $200.

But Imperial did have an "50% Equity Reward" that sounded a bit interesting. I'm going to search around for info on that.


How Does It Work?

The 50% Equity Reward

Let's cut to the chase. For every dollar in fees that you pay on Poker Syndicate tables, you'll recieve 50 cents worth of equity in the Poker Syndicate company. This applies to rake in cash games, and also to tournament fees - 50% of all rake and fees will be returned to you in the form of equity.

BetFred web site didn't say anyything about a minimum rake $ amount to count, just the minimum table stake. So I think it might be great place to play small stakes NL to clear the bonus.

First Deposit Bonus

Betfred Poker Home>>Promotions>>Welcome Bonus

100% Welcome Bonus up to $250

To start you off, we’re offering a fantastic 100% bonus on your first deposit at Betfred Poker, up to a maximum of $250! To earn your bonus, simply make your initial deposit, then play the required number of raked hands according to the table below. Once you have completed the requirements, email us at support@betfredpoker.com to claim your bonus. Your bonus will then be credited to your account within 48 hours.

Please note: Only raked hands played at blinds of $0.25/$0.50 and above for pot limit / no limit, or stakes of $0.50/$1 or above for fixed limit will count towards your wagering requirements. A raked hand is where you are dealt cards in a real money cash game and the pot reaches a sufficient amount to be raked (see our rake structure here). You do not necessarily have to put any money in the pot for the hand to contribute towards your raked hand count. Tournament hands are not raked so only cash game play counts towards wagering requirements.

For every $1 in bonus money you need to play 10 raked hands, therefore to earn a maximum bonus of $250, a player must deposit at least $250 and play 2500 raked hands. The table below shows the corresponding number of raked hands depending on the initial deposit.

Deposit amount Bonus Raked Hands *
$25 $25 250
$50 $50 500
$100 $100 1000
$250 $250 2500
