Sports Interaction is primarily known for it’s online sportsbook, but the online poker room is also gaining momentum.  Sports Interaction is apart of the iPoker network, which is one of the biggest poker networks in the world that does not accept American players.  That being said there are plenty of beginners on the iPoker network, which makes it the perfect place for online poker players to make some money.

The Sports Interaction Poker bonus is also very helpful for building your bankroll.  They offer a 100% matching bonus up to $600 for new players.  It is important that you do not enter a SportsInteraction.com refer a friend code  though otherwise you receive a smaller bonus, but your friend does also receive a bonus.

In order to release your bonus into your account you must earn poker points.  Every 1000 points you earn is equal to $10 of your bonus.  You will have to earn Poker Points by playing in cash games and tournaments at Sports Interaction Poker in order to release your bonus into your account.

You earn 20 poker points for every $1 you pay in fees in Sports Interaction Poker cash games and you earn between 1 and 8 points every time you contribute to the pot, even if you fold.  The amount of rake taken from the pot determines the amount of points you receive.  Between $0.25 and $0.50 earns you 1 point, while between $2.01 and $3.00 earns you 8 points, and any amount in between earns between 1 and 8 depending on the size of the pot. Looking at just the tournament fees this means that you earn $0.20 of your bonus for every $1 that you pay in fees, which is a little under the industry average for clearing rate.

However, those poker points don’t only release your bonus, but you can also turn them into cold hard cash once you have a minimum of 10,000.  Every 10,000 points you has turns into $20, which brings the amount you earn from points up from $0.20 for every $1 that you pay in fees to $0.24 for every dollar you pay.

All in all, Sports Interaction is a great place for players who like to both player poker and bet on sports.  It is especially good for Canadians because Sports Interaction is going out of their way to gain market share in Canada and they will offer some great incentives and excellent customer service for all Canadian members.

Reload bonuses often go unnoticed at online poker rooms because everyone is so concerned about sign up bonus and poker rooms try to convert new players by offering great initial deposit bonuses, but they often don’t promote their reload bonuses at all.  As many of you know CD Poker has merged with William Hill, but they still do not offer reload bonuses on every single player deposit.  William Hill offers reload bonuses now and then as special promotions, but it is important for players to take advantage of these reload bonuses when they are available because if you are a regular player the reload bonuses can really help increase your bankroll.

Other Poker Site Reload Bonuses

Ultimate Bet

There is almost always an Ultimate Bet reload bonus offered for UB players.  These reload bonuses range from 15% to 100% and most often have maximum bonuses equal to $250.  The reload bonuses have the same clearing conditions as Ultimate Bets initial deposit bonus.  The minimum deposit is $10 and you must clear the playthrough requirements within 60 days or whatever bonus amount is not cleared is lost.  The clearing requirements state that you must earn STATUS points for every $1 of your bonus.  This can be done fairly quickly and every time you earn 100 points, $5 of your bonus is cleared and released into your account.

True Poker

True Poker is another online poker room that offers a reload bonus to players.  They offer a 100% reload bonus up  to a $500 maximum and players have 30 days to clear the bonus.  To clear the bonus you must player thirty times as many raked hands as the bonus amount.  The bonus is released in $5 increments and any amount that isn’t cleared after 30 days is forfeit.

Most Poker Rooms

Most online poker rooms only offer reload bonuses as part of promotions.  For example, PKR offered a limited time reload bonus during christmas holidays and PokerStars often offers reload bonuses as part of their World Championships of Online Poker series and Full Tilt often offers them during their FTOPS months.  When poker rooms do offer reload bonuses take advantage.

Poker rooms often think that once they have you as a player you are theirs and they no longer have to offer perks such as reload bonuses to keep you.  For this reason if you do like to play your poker at a particular online poker room you should take full advantage when they do offer reload bonuses.  If you play there anyways then the clearing won’t be a problem and you can withdraw your deposit right away and just play through the bonus.  The moral of the story is to take advantage of reload bonuses when you can!

CD Poker is parto f the iPoker online poker network, which is a network of online poker rooms that use the same software and allow their players to play against each other in order to increase the game selection and traffic in total.  Because of this great collaboration the iPoker network is third only to Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars in online player traffic.

CD Poker is one of the bigger rooms on the network, but the biggest room on the iPoker network would have to be Titan Poker.  Some other big player contributors include BetFred, Chili Poker, Fair Poker, Holland Poker, Paddy Power Poker, Sun Poker, VC Poker and William Hill Poker.
