Yes. It is completely free for you.

PokerStrategy.com is an affiliate

Here you will find all the information on the PokerStrategy.com business model, as well as the answer to the question: Why can you offer all of this for free?

Up front: PokerStrategy.com is free for you because we have advertising partnerships with all large poker rooms such as Titan Poker and PartyPoker.

As you will find out later, the large poker rooms prefer players that know what they are doing. Contrary to e.g. casinsos, they do not profit from your losses but make the most money when you win.

The members of PokerStrategy.com belong to the best players and therefore also amongst the most sought after customers in online poker. Due to successful players such as yourself, we are a strong partner for online poker sites and can effectively bargain out the best deals for our members. For you, this means attractive bonuses, tournaments and free starting capitals.

How do you receive the $50 + $100 starting capital?

Our Partners:

Everything is based on the rake

Whenever a player wins a pot, a small part of the pot goes to the poker room at which he is playing. This is known as the fee or rake.

The poker room passes on a part of this produced rake to partners such as PokerStrategy.com, who use it to recruit new players. In other words: when you sign up at a poker room over us, by using one of our bonus offers or receiving the free starting capital, we receive a part of your produced rake in return.

The amount of rake you pay does not change based on whether you are a member of PokerStrategy.com or not. You don't pay a single cent more than the "normal" players. You do however benefit from all the advantages that are associated with a membership at PokerStrategy.com. Basically, you have free access to all strategy articles, videos, coachings and, of course, personal support from our coaches and administrators.

We only win when you win

Why do we invest so much energy into helping you reach your full potential as a poker player by giving you the best possible poker education?

Poker is a very fair game. In the long run, it will always be the good players who end up winning. A player that is consistently winning is also one that is more likely to enjoy playing a lot of poker - since who doesn't like winning money? An automatic side effect of being a winning player who likes playing a lot is that you will also produce more rake while doing so.

To summarise it:

The better our educational offer, the more you learn and the better you play.
The better you play the higher your winnings.
The higher the winnings, the longer you stay interested in playing poker.
The longer you play poker the more rake you produce.
The more rake you produce, the more we get paid by the poker room.

At the end if all comes down to pure logic. The more you win, the more we win.

We help you maximize your winnings

So what is the best way of making sure that someone becomes a good and successful poker player? Correct! You do everything in your power to provide him or her the most encompassing and effective poker education possible. You support the player in any way you can. On top of this you provide him with a starting capital, since you can only win, if you are actually playing.

Our success is directly dependent on you being successful. It is only when we manage to help you become a winning player that the entire idea behind PokerStrategy.com actually works. That means we help you become as successful as possible, and the rest happens by itself.

What happens with the rake you produce?

A large part of it is, of course, kept by the poker room, which will partly re-invest it into things like print and TV advertisements. Through these, it tries to attract e.g. hobby players that deposit money once in a while in order to play for fun. After all, the winnings have to come from somewhere; mostly from the "fish" that are attracted with advertisement financed by your rake.

The part of it that goes to PokerStrategy.com is for the most part directly re-invested into the maintenance and improvement of our strategy offerings. Just take a look around and you will quickly notice how there is something happening and changing everywhere. New videos on a daily basis, new articles, daily live coachings, more employees to improve the support...

Your rake is therefore directly reinvested for your own benefit and the benefit of the other members. A cycle that benefits everyone, especially you as a player.

How do you receive the $50 + $100 free starting capital?

As a new member at PokerStrategy.com you receive $50 + $100 free starting capital. This happens in three easy steps:

Take a look at the beginner strategy

Pass the quiz on the beginner strategy

After you have passed the quiz, you choose a poker room at which you want to play. You will then receive your money at the poker room of your choice and can start playing there.

Don't worry, though. The quiz isn't difficult. It's just hard enough to make sure that you can show us you know something about playing poker.

Once you have discovered the game for yourself, then quickly learn the rules and the basic strategy. Just watch a video or read the corresponding article. In these you will find all the information you need to pass the quiz.
