How To Maximize Your Initial Deposit Bonus
|
I say this phrase over and over again in articles that I write for this site:
"Make your first deposit count"
Many people don't listen, and this ends up costing them hundreds of dollars down the road.
People often forget that poker rooms such as Pokerstars and Full Tilt Poker offer matching deposit bonuses.
This means that the site will MATCH the size of your INITIAL deposit with an equivalent bonus.
For instance, Full Tilt Poker has a matching initial deposit bonus of up to $600 when you first open an account up on their site.
What does this mean exactly?
It means that if you initially decide to deposit $150, then Full Tilt will award you a bonus of $150.
It also means that if you initially deposit $600 or more, then Full Tilt Poker will give you a bonus of $600.
I always advise people to save up their money so that they can maximize the size of their initial deposit when opening up an account on a site.
Deposit bonuses are one-shot deals - subsequent deposits on the site have no impact on the size of your bonus.
Here is what I always tell people who are about to deposit for the first time on a site such as Full Tilt or Pokerstars - don't deposit until you can maximize the bonus.
If you don't have $600 to deposit onto Full Tilt Poker, then save your money until you do.
If you don't have $50 to deposit onto Pokerstars, then save your money until you do.
These bonus offers aren't going anywhere - they will still be there in a few months.
I know that you are anxious to sign up and start playing - however, do you really want to potentially throw hundreds of dollars away? Because that is exactly what you would be doing.
My advice - make sure to maximize your initial deposit bonuses, no matter what.
I mean - the poker rooms are giving out free money, so why wouldn't you want to grab as much as possible?
