Poker bonus is the free cash which the poker sites deposit in your account when you sign up with them. All rooms have bonus on deposits when you sign up with them either in form of “deposit bonus” or in form of “no deposit bonus”. Either way you tend to gain free cash which are being offered by the poker rooms. Some of the poker rooms offer “reload bonus” when they are satisfied that you are going to be a regular player. So when you make additional deposit they will offer you a poker bonus.

1) As it is free money many people feel that they can just take it and clear out. This is a big misconception. All the poker bonuses that are offered by the poker sites have some requirements. You have to play in the poker room before you get your hands on the money.

2) Another fact you have to be clear about is that it is very rare that you will have the poker bonus money to play with in your initial rounds. Some poker rooms will give you the poker bonus in one go but you have to play for some time and earn points. Some poker sites will give you in increments but you still have to complete the requirements. However you may get to play with some of the poker bonus money. Other poker rooms will deposit the money initially but you have to again fulfill the requirements before you can cash your poker bonus.

3) The requirements that you have to fulfill to get the poker bonus cash is to get enough loyalty or points which the poker rooms device. As you start playing, for each hand minimum amount of rake is obtained from the pot which constitutes as your poker point. To receive your poker bonus you have to collect specified amount of points.

4) It is relevant to mention here that some poker rooms like actually needs you to play cash in every hand to give you points. Some other poker rooms may not be that strict and allow you to have cards dealt to give credit for a raked hand.

5) The amounts of points that you have to collect are specified by the poker room’s terms and conditions. For instance a poker room specifies that you have to collect 8 points to earn $1 of the free money. So to earn $50 bonus money you have to collect 400 points. You can keep track of your points by the help of the poker website or it is built in the software itself.

6) As far as withdrawal is concerned the poker rooms specify the time limit-usually 30 to 60 days. Also you may not withdraw it till you collect required amount of points. Otherwise there is a chance that you may forfeit your initial deposit.
