Reload Bonuses
Thursday, February 3rd, 2011Reload 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!
