Many of the online poker rooms offer
free deposit bonuses to new and existing players. The
growing concern is that the terms and conditions to receive
the bonus is different from site to site. Our free bonuses
section is designed to provide you with the bonus offers
from the top online poker rooms, along with the basic
requirements needed to receive the bonus.
It’s important to note why there is such a variation and
tough requirements. There are many players on the Internet
who try and take advantage of the bonus offers by signing
up, playing the absolute bare minimum required, then cashing
out all the funds never to return again. The poker rooms
provide a bonus as an incentive to play at their online
poker rooms as opposed to a competitor, but of course some
feel the need to abuse it (bonus whores is the term used).
As a result, the requirements to receive your bonus are
becoming stricter as time passes. Nonetheless, if you are
looking to play online poker and are somewhat knowledgeable
about the game, you should have no problem at all meeting
the bonus requirements.
