Default Bonus whoring.. where to go next?

Hey guys, I've been bonus whoring for a little bit now, I've taken advantage of the bonuses at these sites:

Interpoker
PartyPoker

Sites I'm considering to do next:

UltimateBet
AbsolutePoker


However after reading about those 200% deposit bonuses it sounds like it'll take at least a few days to clear. Does anyone know of a site with a similiar deposit bonus as party poker where you play around 400-500 raked hands to clear a 100% deposit bonus? Thanks!

Ub is a great site...one of the best IMO. I love watching the 25/50 NL game. I for one prefer sites with weaker players though.,..so, I do play PLO the odd time on UB.

I don't know enough of absolute to have an opinion...

Clearing bonuses can obviously have a lot to do with the limits and table sizes you play. I put $800 into supremepoker.com for their 100% bonus, and it comes through at a good rate for me, because I play 2 short handed NL tables at once...their NL tables are only 5 seaters so the action is that much quicker. An average week (5 days playing up to 2 hours/day) I usually get $40/week but have gotten as much as 80...which isn't all that much...but it does equal out to about $10/hour.

A guy I play a live game with on fridays has long surpassed his 100% match and they keep paying him weekly out of "player appreciation"


For myself, I'm sticking with supreme for now because they rock for short handed..but I'm looking at gamesgrid next..maybe titan.

So UB is typically a difficult site? I play at .25/.50 NL HL tables and always full ring games if they're available. From your experience with bonuses, what's a site with an easy bonus to clear that's possibly almost as easy as the Party Poker bonus?

I highly recommend UB, their bonuses can be cleared in a reasonable amount of time, they have reload bonuses, and although they have tough players at higher limits, at the limits you're talking about you should be a winner just by playing tight and by the book.

I put some money on Absolute to try to get the bonus. Unfortunatly I found the tables to be extremely tight and tricky (compared to Paradise) which made it hard to be a winner and to reach the rake needed to qualify for the bonus. I played .5/1 LHE but I assume the NLH tables should be similar. I don't recommend Absolute, atleast bonus wise.

UB has some of the worst bonuses out there and some of the best players around. They changed their bonus to 20X some time ago.

Absolute is okay, the tables can be tight though and if you play low limits the pot will not reach the 5$ and you wont be credited for a raked hand. Their bonuses are pretty much endless and clear at 10X.

Ex-party skins, they are tighter than before but still have deposit bonuses that clear at 5X. Probably the best bet.

Paradise, has a small bonus but bad players and clears at 10X.

Check out Bonuswhores, they have a big list of some of the major sites and compare clearance rates based on the blinds that you play.

The UB bonuses are very slow to clear. Clear rate maxs out at 5c a hand. At 1/2 it clears at about 2.5c a hand. So, 4k hands to clear $100 at 1/2 (limit). That is about as bad as it gets.

AP is pretty good. You can clear $100 in around 1000 hands if you play 1/2 or higher.

If you like NL, I think Bodog has a decent clearing rate.


I bonuse clear playing Stud8b and Omaha8b.

Titan and Full Tilt are among the best for bonus cash. Titan is better for rake though, with not a lot of hard competition.
