Bonus

With a poker bonus you will be rewarded with an additional money sum when you make a deposit at a poker room. The best bonus offers and bonus codes of PokerStrategy.com's partner rooms can be found in our bonus and rakeback offers in the poker room section.

How does a poker bonus work?

It's simple. You desposit a certain amount of money at a poker room. As a "gift", you will then receive an additional money sum as a bonus. A poker bonus can be a fixed amount. In this case for example, you will receive $1,000 on top of your deposit, no matter how much you deposited.

What's more common however, is that the poker bonus you receive is based on the size of your deposit. In this case, you will find a description such as "100% up to $500 bonus". In this example you would receive 100% of your deposit as a bonus, with the maximum bonus amount being $500.

How do you clear a poker bonus?

A poker bonus is usually never immediately available to you - you have to clear it first. You have to play poker and, depending on the rake (house take) you generate, the bonus or increments of the bonus will be released and credited to your regular poker account.

How this works exactly varies from poker room to poker room. Usually you earn some kind of "loyalty points" while you play poker, and once you have reached a certain amount of points, you receive a certain part of the poker bonus. You can look up the specific conditions in our bonus and rakeback offers at the poker room section.

What is a first deposit bonus?

A first deposit bonus is a poker bonus that you can only receive on top of your first deposit at a poker room. A first deposit bonus is an incentive for you to choose a particular poker room and start playing there.

What is a reload bonus?

A reload bonus is the counterpart to the first deposit bonus. You can receive a reload bonus if you are already playing at a given poker room. When you make a deposit there, you will receive a reload bonus. This is an incentive for you to stay loyal to the poker room and invest additional money there, for example, by playing higher limits.

What is a no deposit bonus?

A no deposit bonus is a special kind of poker bonus, where you don't have to deposit your own money. Quite the opposite in fact. A no deposit bonus is a free bankroll, which you receive from PokerStrategy.com for example, allowing you to play poker for free.

At PokerStrategy.com you receive a no deposit bonus of $50. Nearly anywhere on our site you will find the term "free starting capital" to refer to this. As a poker school, we think the free poker bankroll is a risk-free opportunity to start a poker career from nothing, without having to invest any money yourself.

In order to receive the $50 no deposit bonus, all you have to do is register for free at PokerStrategy.com, pass a poker quiz and choose the poker room, where you would like to play with the free bankroll.
