I was wondering if anyone knew what the best current deposit bonus for an online site is. I know Vegas Frontier Casino has a 100% bonus up to $250 and also just saw a 100% bonus up to $600 for Fult Tilt Poker. Has anyone played on these sites? Which do you recommend? Is one bonus easier to work off? I dont want to be playing a million hands in order to get the bonus $.Thanks in advance,snowmannn

AbsolutePoker has a 35% deposit up to $210 in bonus money (max 600 dollar deposit). I would recommend this one, because it's probably the easiest to get your bonus. You get your bonus money in $10 increments, so basically every 100 hands=$10 dollars. That's pretty quick to me and it's a good bonus and has good sit&go's, since you start off with 1500 chips instead of 800 or 1000 at some sites.I would not recommend FullTilt, yes it's 100% bonus, but trust me it takes a very long time to get. I deposited $200 and I went bust before I even got my first clearance of $20 in bonus money. Matter of fact, I didn't even get up to 10 dollars of it cleared. The only way you'll be able to clear it quickly is if you play at the higher limits, if you play anything 1/2 and under, it'll take a very long time to earn it.

Well without a doubt the best new deposit bonus you can get comes from www.pokermountain.com. It's a 100% deposit bonus up to $500 and it doesn't take you 10 years to get it! I believe you have to enter a code to get it which you'll be able to from here soon, but in the meantime you can acquire it from www.cardplayer.com

Speaking of Poker Mountain, is anyone else having a problem getting connected to it. I've been on Poker Stars and Pokerroom today, so I know it's not my computer. What's the deal?-Shawn K.

weird. my name is shawn k. also.i think ultimate has the worst bonus. it takes forever to get it back. i mostly play tournaments, and you get no bonus earnings for that. i hear that fulltiltpoker allows you to earn back your bonus for tournament play. as for me, i've $75 just sitting there for a few months.

full tilt is probably the worst bonus out there.Fastest to clear is probably party poker.I recently did freecasinogear.com's offer for a poker chip set if you play 250 raked hands on pacific poker. took me 2-3 hours to clear it, but I havent received my gift yet so I dont know if it is legit. I hear it isn't a scam but I'll let you know for sure whe(if) my poker set arrives. Seemed really really easy to clear 250 raked hands at the low stakes NL game.I'll say this about full tilt though, you get to see a lot of pros play and they even play in some of the low limit games. Got to play some hands with lederer and clonie gowens. And I watched Clonie Gowens one night when she must have been really bored play 5 heads up $50 sit n goes in a row. I watched them all as she destroyed all challengers and felt like I learned a lot about heads up play from that.

www.pokerlistings.com is a good place to check for bonus' as well. Sometimes by going through pokerlistings you can even add to the bonus.I've been watching for pokermountain and am anxious to have it start up. A 100% bonus thats achieveable~!

If you are running XP, make sure to run Windows Update and install SP2I was wayyyy (way) behind in updates and it fixed my connection problem to Poker Mountain (only connection problem I was experiencing).GL

I thought Royal Vegas had a big bonus this month like 40% up to $300, not sure though. Definately not Ulitimate Bet, it takes forever to get even $10 of the bonus money.

[Mandelbrot]

Pokerstars rarely has one, they don't need to I guess. When they do have one, it's pretty lame IMHO.

i think ultimate has the worst bonus. it takes forever to get it back.It's not that bad.Taked me about a day of three tabling $2/$4 to clear $100.If you're tryinng to clear it playing microlimits, then yes, it'd take you quite a while.
