Best bonus codes for the best online poker rooms

One of the most important decisions of a poker player is to make a choice of his poker room. For this decision, it is important to take a close look at the various room's bonus offers.
But watch out - it is not only about which bonus is the highest, but also about how easy it is to get the bonus amount converted to real money. A player who plays only low-buyin tournaments, or plays on the micro limit tables up to $0,10/0,20 will need a lot of time to clear a $500 bonus. So in this case, a lower but easier bonus offer would be better for this player. On the other hand, if this player has the time to play multiple tables for hours every day, then things would look differently...

Especially for low-limit players, the bonus offers of rooms like Everest Poker (download here, use bonus code BC300) can be very advantageous because their bonus is very easy to clear and it does not depend on the amount of money you deposit.
Players who play higher levels or play a lot, on the other hand, are better off with those rooms with 100% up to max. $500 bonus, like bet365 Poker - click here to download and use bonus code COACH.
If you play a lot and on higher levels, take a look at Tower Gaming and Hollywood Poker, where you have several bonus programs to choose from. You have to be aware of the fact that you need a bonus that you have a chance to clear, since those bonusses will be paid out in bigger installments, since you have limited time, and additional incentives like free seats in tournaments will only be given to you after you have cleared the whole bonus.

As a rule of thumbs consider this: If the room gives a frequent player point for every $ in paid rake, the table rake in a ring game is an average of 5% of the pot, then you have a rake off app. $0,50 in a $10 pot. This rake will be divided by the number of players. In a 10$ pot with 10 players, your share of the rake would then be $0,05. You will need to play 20 hands of that size to make one frequent player point. On the lower levels, the actual rake is higher though, so you will win your points a little faster there.
