Unless you are completely new, you are probably more than familiar with poker bonus codes. If not, they are very simple. You get a special bonus code that you fill in a nice little box when you register for a poker room. That code will enable you to get a nice deposit bonus. If you plan on playing poker on that poker site, then it is basically just free money. If you do not plan on playing, then you will never see the bonus. Most poker sites offer a generous 100% deposit match bonus up to however much you deposit. The limits are normally anywhere between $500-$1000.

Getting the Most out of your Codes

There are two different things stopping you from easily taking advantage of poker bonus codes. First of all, you must play poker at the tables and release the bonus by earning frequent player points. That means that you cannot just deposit to get your bonus and then cash out with the free money. It doesn't work that way. The second problem, is that you can only usually get a one time bonus. So once you have gotten your bonus, you are done.

While you may not be able to scam your way into some free money, you can still take advantage of all the bonus codes that are offered. If you are an avid poker player (preferably a good one), then you will have no problem with this. Its very simple actually. Come up with a list of the best poker rooms that you can play at and deposit the full amount on all of those poker rooms. If you do that, then you will end up with a lot of bonus cash. If you are going to play anyways, why not exhaust all of the bonuses while your at it?

An average bonus offer is 100% up to $500. If you play poker at $0.50/$1.00 tables or higher, you can release that bonus in the matter of a couple weeks. If you play even higher limits, you can release it much faster (depending on how much you play), especially if you are multi-tabling. If you where to do this with say 10 poker sites, then you are already at $5,000. Not to mention the money you make while you are playing. As you can see, the potential to take advantage of those bonus codes is pretty big.

Poker Bonuses for Those Lacking a Bankroll

The above sounds good and all, but what if you do not have that kind of money to put into the various poker sites? Well, that could be a problem. In this case, you are just going to have to make the money (or see our building a poker bankroll from scratch). Start out at a good poker site that does not have as good of a bonus (such as Pokerstars). Even there you will get a $50 bonus. Take that along with however much you have to deposit. Use that money to make more money and when you have enough to match the full deposit at another poker site, you can cash out and then deposit in the other poker site. Continue to do that, and before you know it you will still be looking at the same situation. The only real difference as that it might take you longer than if you had the poker bankroll to deposit into more than one poker site at once.
