How Big Can a Poker Bonus Get?
 
By Itay Paz

There are over a thousand different online casinos, and many of them have poker. Some are better than others, but finding any of them can be hard. Because there are so many, these sites will offer bonuses for sign up, and the amounts and rules on these will vary. They are a great incentive for any new player, and though these are common, the good ones can be hard to find. The question seems to be about the amounts that are out there. Is the large poker bonus a myth, or are these out there just waiting to be discovered? With some searching, the answer becomes clear.

As of the writing of this article, there is a poker site offering a 1000 dollar match sign up bonus. That means if a player deposits 1000 dollars, the site matches that, giving the player 2000 dollars for wagering in any poker game they offer. That is an amazing amount. There are rules that apply however. It is open to new players only, and there are time limits on how it can be used, as well as limits on how long it might be valid. Another site is offering a 600 hundred dollar 150% match bonus. They are out there, but if found, they should be taken advantage of rather quickly as they may be gone the next day.

As for figuring out how big a poker bonus can get, that is something that remains to be seen. There is no telling what a site will do in the future to bring in new customers, or to keep their existing players happy.  This type of large bonus is probably rare, but how rare and how much depends on the state of business and now badly a site needs an influx of new blood. There are times when a very large poker bonus looks appealing, but if the site has reputation problems, a player should think twice before taking advantage. Dealing with a rogue casino usually means winnings won’t be paid, or they may hold winnings for reasons known only to them for however long they want. Most are honest, but it pays to be wise about it.
