The purpose for sites to offer bonuses is to attract customers, just like you say. However, they want to attract customers who will stay and play at the site - because they like it enough, and because the offers are good enough to keep them from switching to another site.
This demographic is not the whores (the 1% figure mentioned, if that happens to be somewhat accurate). Sure - every whore will be attracted to the site if it offers a good bonus, but they will not hang around and make the place their new home. They will move on to the next bonus as soon as the current one is cleared.
There are probably a lot more people that are at least somewhat aware of the quality of the offers on their current site, and would compare it to other offers - but they do not have accounts at 20 different poker rooms and jump around clearing bonuses all the time.
Probably it is also important to have competetive offers when trying to recruite new players to your particular brand. A new player may look at several rooms before deciding where he is going to sign up for the first time, and if he is a recreational player, chances are he might stay there.
I don't think poker rooms can afford to stop offering bonuses. They need them to attract new customers, and to keep existing ones. I don't think whores are the only ones who appreciate bonus offers - we just take extra advantage of them. |
