Poker Deposit Bonus 411
1) What is a "Deposit Bonus"?
- A deposit bonus is a ONE TIME monetary bonus added to your online poker account by the poker site as a promotional tool. It is usually a percentage of the money you put in to the account.
For example, if you deposit $100 onto PartyPoker.com they'll add another 20%, so here another $20. When we say "20% added UP TO $100" that means that the maximum they will add is $100 so that the best way to get the max bonus is to deposit $500 and they'll add 20% of $500 which is $100.
Some sites, that are not as established, will give you 100% , or more, added! For example, if you deposit $600 onto FullTiltPoker.com they will ADD ANOTHER $600 to your account!! So read through each site description carefully.
2)
Can I get a "Deposit Bonus" if I already have an
__account with this site?
- No. Unfortunately, Deposit Bonuses are for first time players only. The good news is :
a) Find other sites that you don't have an account with and try one of those!!
b) Have one of your friends/parents/family memebers/etc who doesn't already have an account sign up!
c) Occasionally the sites will run a "ReLoad Bonus" promotion where they will give you an additional % added to encourage you to reload your account. We keep you posted of those as well! Just check in with us periodically, look through the site descriptions and we'll update you with ReLoad Bonus links.
3)
There is no such thing as "free money". What's the
__catch? How can the sites afford to do this?
- There really is no "catch". The online sites make money off the "rake", which is a small percentage of every pot that they take for the house. So the sites don't make money off you winning or losing. They just make money off people consistently playing since you're, in effect, paying "rent" per hour to sit at the table.
That being said, with poker online booming, these sites make MILLIONS and thus have large advertising budgets. Their "giving away" Deposit Bonuses is not just "wasted money" because they hope to gain you as a consistent player and thus make more off you in the long run.
The only "short term CATCH" is that most, not all, sites require that you play a certain number of hands before they allow you to "cash out" the Deposit Bonus money. This makes sense because otherwise you could just deposit $600 on FullTiltpoker.com, never play a hand, cash out $1200 and get all your friends to do it too. Obviously no one is going to GIVE you $600 without you at least trying out their product and also giving them a chance at making SOME of that Bonus money back from you in the form of rake.
4)
I didn't click on the link, but I tried to put in the Bonus
__Code however I think I did it wrong. Can I go back and
__add it now?
- No. Unfortunately we get this question a lot so we always suggest clicking directly through the link INSTEAD of putting in the deposit code by hand. Sorry, but if you don't sign up correctly the first time, there is nothing we can do. Please click the links and then fill out the sign up information CAREFULLY to insure you get all your bonus money!

1)
How do I play online? What are the rules? What do all
__the options mean? etc
- This is the easy part! Every site has their own "How To Play" user guides that explain everything from the basics (rules of holdem, hand rankings, etc) to the specifics about their site (what options the screen offers, details explanation of their "lobby", etc).
After you sign up and get your bonus money deposited, just look around on the site and they'll explain everything. If you need personal assistance, every poker site that we recommend has a 24 hour customer service option (either through phone or e-mail), so feel free to get in touch with them if you have any questions.
As a starting point, click here DoylesRoom.com and then click on "Education" in the top right. This is a great primer from the legend himself, Doyle Brunson.
2)
Is it safe to put real money on these sites?
- Yes! You can trust that all of the sites we review and recommend are credible, regulated and reliable. We personally have accounts at ALL of the sites we recommend and have never experienced problems with money transfers, deposits or withdrawals.

Neteller.com.

Step Three Alternative
Use Neteller, Click Here to visit the
Neteller Website. Neteller is an online banking account just like Paypal (what you use on Ebay). You can set up a new account in a few minutes.
Now you can once again try to fund your new Neteller account using your credit card or debit card, however this may also be denied.
You will have to link your checking account directly to your Neteller account so you can transfer money to and from your bank account. This will take a day or two for Neteller to verify your bank account.
Once your account is verified, you can transfer money from your bank account to your Neteller account, then into your poker account. When you cash out your winnings your money will go into your Neteller account almost instantly, and then you can either put it on a different poker site or transfer that money into your bank account. Note that after the initial account verification, the subsequent transactions are processed very quickly.
Every Online Poker Site accepts Neteller deposits and withdrawals. Most sites encourage using Neteller by waiving transaction fees or giving extra bonuses.
Neteller is VERY safe and your money is secure, as is your personal information
and banking information. Don't worry! If you
are extremely paranoid just open a separate
checking account only for you poker
bankroll.
