You can deposit, get a 25% bonus (use BW.com link); then withdraw initial deposit and play off of bonus. They say you need 20x in wagers to clear the bonus amount, but I was able to cash out fully after only 400 hands or so (certainly not at the 20x level, in my case). | | Static Link |
| Posted by: tartrate at August 10, 2005, 3:58 am | | Topic: Which sites can you whore at micro limits? Forum: Bonus Whores | As far as I know most sites need a rake too high for micro tables to be profitable, but I know one site that's fairly ok.
Bodog.com offers these:
Quote: Rake Points
$1.00 - $3.00 1.00
$0.50 - $0.95 0.50
$0.25 - $0.45 0.25
$0.05 - $0.20 0.10
and that's 3 points for each $1.
This is the best I can find for giving really low rake some bonus points too.
Bodog is though known for clearing the bonus slowly (except for tournament play which is quick) but playing at micro tables that's what you'd expect. | | Static Link |

I believe Total Poker has a similar bonus. Basically 500 contributed for $100. From what I can tell, all you have to do is see a flop at any limits as long as there's a rake...which occurs nearly every hand. | | Static Link |

Yes she is new to poker - and yes I know she should concentrate on learning how to play (she knows as well). But it would be nice if there was some bonus involved.
I already planned to sign her up at Stars as they don't rake the 2c/4c and 5c/10c tables at all (same as Paradise).
I think she won't play NL for the start (I have no experience there); as it involves more risks. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: ed209 at August 9, 2005, 9:22 pm | | Topic: Which sites can you whore at micro limits? Forum: Bonus Whores | Poker Stars and iPoker network are the only sites I can think of that don't rake the 25c/50c LHE games until $5. all the other sites will start taking a nickel at $1.
that being said, you can technically whore bonuses at sites like Absolute, Paradise and Bet365 which will count any hand which hits $5 for a 25c rake, this would be for a pot size of 10BB so while it won't be hit that often (perhaps 20-30% of the time); it would work out in the end.
you could also consider a site like Ultimate Bet which clears bonus as little as one penny per hand (for 10c rake/$2 pot). this is like having 100% rakeback equivalent. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: BCsparky at August 9, 2005, 8:20 pm | | Topic: Which sites can you whore at micro limits? Forum: Bonus Whores | Sportingbet for sure any game counts including 10c/20c. I'm not sure on the other Boss Media sites , they might be the same. When you sign up for sportingbet it says you have to play at least 1/2 but its not true.

Assuming she is new to poker, not just to online poker, she should focus on learning the game and have winning sessions and not worry about earning bonuses. A good site, imho, for learning LHE at that microlimit is pokerstars. If she plays there for a bit and does well, then is a good time to move up to .50/1.00 and to start looking for bonuses at places such as bet365. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: dokoko at August 9, 2005, 4:36 pm | | Topic: Which sites can you whore at micro limits? Forum: Bonus Whores | Can you clear any bonuses at 0.25/0.50 LHE or below?
I never played the microlimits (always played 1/2 since I started 8 months ago); so I don't know. The BW site reviews only show clearance rates for 0.50/1 LHE and higher.
My girlfriend will start with online poker at the microlimits; so she can get an idea whether she is able to make money from it (I am sure she won't continue if not).
Any help is appreciated.
PS: No she's not my gnome (otherwise there would be no need for microlimits). | | Static Link |
