If you sign-up to a poker site and want to play for real money then you will likely receive a deposit bonus (if you don’t then I wouldn’t sign up at the poker room). Most deposit bonuses are not instant (also known as “No-Deposit Bonuses”) and players have to unlock the funds either in increments (or favorite) or all at once. To unlock the funds, players must earn poker points by playing either real money cash games or real money tournaments. There are several key strategies to consider to not only unlock your bonus quickly but to have them consistently add to your bankroll over time. Keep in mind to successfully build a bankroll by clearing deposit bonuses players must be willing to sacrifice and play at several poker rooms. While this is more time consuming and slightly more complicated, the ability to build your bankroll 2x to 3x as fast is well worth the added work on your side. Types of Deposit Bonuses Just as a quick recap we will go over the types of deposit bonuses. The two most common types of bonuses are the “match bonus” (sometimes just referred to as “Deposit Bonus”) and the “Instant Bonus” (sometimes referred to as “No-Deposit Bonus”): Match Bonus – Players receive a Match Bonus when they deposit into a poker room based on an up-front percentage of the amount you deposit. For example, Titan Poker offers a 200% up to $2000 match deposit bonus, which means that if you deposit $1000 then Titan Poker will provide $2000 in bonuses to clear while you play poker. Some bonuses may require a bonus code when depositing while others are automatic. Reload bonuses also fit into the category of “Match Bonuses” and we recommend players hit up as many reload bonuses as possible. Instant Sign-up Bonus – The Instant Bonus or “No-Deposit Bonus” are extremely rare when it comes to play poker online. Players receive an instant bonus just by signing up at a poker room and the amount is typically very small. You will receive the funds immediately and do not have to unlock the bonus through earning poker points but you will not be able to withdrawal the bonus until you’ve successfully made a deposit. If you have the chance to sign-up at a site with a no-deposit bonus, we recommend doing so as you can build a bank roll without spending a dime. An example would be 888 Poker, which offers an $8 no deposit bonus just for registering. This can be a great way for a beginner to build their bankroll and try out a poker room and, if you get lucky, you may be able to build a bankroll for free. Bankroll Building Strategies Now that we have covered the basics, we will look at strategies to build your bankroll using a deposit bonus. We will assume that you are not a medium or high stakes player and are trying to deposit only a small amount, such as […]
