I actually hate ongame. But the bonuses make it a must do.
Ditto. I somehow avoided ongame until this week. And I NEVER lack for a bonus -- sure, I like some more than others, but I always have a Stars bonus sitting around that I'm too busy to get to. Party/Empire, Paradise, Prima, B2B, Boss, Tribeca, Crypto, ipoker, Pacific, Stars, and Absolute (yuck) is the one I only play if they just GIVE me money. | | Static Link |

Nope, but that's okay, we all have our little idiosynchracies.
You should pay attention and snag every good OnGame network bonus you can. Just avoid any of the FutureBet based ones (Bayou, PowerPlayer, etc.)... with the exception of Full Contact Poker. The smaller FutureBet sites seem to be having cashflow problems that aren't affecting FCP. (Nor do I think FCP would ever have a problem - DN would have a fit if "his" site was run poorly.) | | Static Link |

Sorry I didn't provide specific advice, mike_m. I don't play NL100 regularly, so I figured others would be able to guide you a bit better than me.
None of my comments were directed at you. I know you'd help if you had something good.
I think I've got enough to go on. Going to do BoDog and Euro and then look into FCP. I know I should be doing the BTBs. But next year I'll be living in Europe and I'll have a bank account in Euros, so I might save them.
How does having a eurpoean bank account change you making money right now? I am confused.

| Posted by: grimgrin at June 23, 2006, 9:03 am | | Topic: Bonus apocolypse (or however you spell it) Forum: Bonus Whores | Don't see how it is possible to run out of bonuses. Hit b2b man - it's 5x in euros for huge bonuses - so for every 100E you are getting between $125 and $130 making it even better. You play 100NL and 200NL so good clearing rate.
I don't even have enough time to do bonuses that I want to do, and get back to sites I enjoy. I even have b2b bonuses expiring on me these days... I am feeling truly pathetic haha.

You beat me to it.
Slapping 1,000 into BoDog gives you a very easy $100 bucks.

Absolute will almost certainly announce another bonus for this weekend, so you should have something to work with.

Not to be mean but just get over it, stick another grand or 2 in Neteller. Cycle it in and out of Absolute for a week or 2. You'll have plenty. | | Static Link |

How about Bugsys Club!!!! Duh. http://www.bonuswhores.com/bugsys-club.php
In all seriousness, I'd definitely check out Europoker (although there have been some posted problems with "cycling" the WC bonuses although if you do some cover play you shouldn't have a problem). Our signup is a 7x, which is better than their normal 10x.
Edit: How about Crypto? You're a mid limit player, most of those bonuses are 5x at mid limits. | | Static Link |

Not that i disagree with your point however.
I don't understand how pointing out that people starting threads which are essentially about asking for help or information that is freely available by reading the FAQs, the Bonus Whoring 101 guide, the individual review pages provided by BW.com, or the countless threads in the forums is somehow "unnecessary".
There are far too many threads started by abject laziness around here, and frankly, if people can't be bothered to read the forums and other information here and save their posts for constructive and helpful contribution to the site, they definitely don't deserve to have bonuses spoon-fed to them by those who actually try and helpfully contribute around here.

There is so much bonus available that it is impossible to keep up with even the high value bonuses available. Anyone who doesn't have bonus pending at Absolute is just negligent. I have over $5000 in bonus banked up there and I play there every day - there are so many reloads at Abosolute, that it is impossible to "miss" them. They only have 3 or 4 or 5 or 7 EACH AND EVERY WEEK for Christ's sake.
I mean, how lazy/inept/illiterate does one have to be given the plethora of information on this site? At least spend some bloody time reading the forums - it shouldn't be hard for someone who apparently has enough time to post OVER 500 FUCKING times in these forums in 2 months. I mean, if you don't realize that Europoker is part of the OnGame network, you aren't even bothering to look at the basic information AT THE TOP OF THE FRONT PAGE OF THE SITE.

I don't do this full time. So I've missed some reloads in the past. But even with that I've never run out before.
Never tried Europoker. Do they have enough games to 4 table NL100?

I'll give FCP a try. Thanks. That's better than UB anyway if it's 9x.

My requirements are that it support pokertracker and have at least 7-10 NL100 tables going most of the time. Is there an obvious site I've missed?
Oh, and they can't take more than 48 hours to get payouts to netteller or require me to play in euros.
Try FCP $200 9x.

Email Absolute and tell them you are bored. They will offer you a deposit bonus.
Or just wait until tomorrow, when they will likely have one anyway.
