Topic: How many bonus whores do you think are out there? And... Forum: Bonus Whores

I think the bonuses appealing to new customers are the same ones appealing to the people you refer to as bottom feeders. If bonuses, like you suggest, go towards rewardning the steady mid/high limit loyal customers with extra payoff - how will the sites attract new customers?

I mean, after all - all the players at $5/10 and above come from somewhere, right? Either they were established poker players in B&M casinos before going online, in which case they never were "bottom feeders" themselves. But in most cases, I imagine these players started out playing low limits, and probably weren't winning players from day 1.

Bonuses (or similar promos) aimed at low limit players will continue to be a necessity for sites to attract customers, imho.
