Upcoming Live Poker Events – And Which Network Hosts The Online Qualifiers

After spending most of this morning updating detailed articles on upcoming satellite qualifiers for SNG Planet, I thought that PokerBonusNetwork readers would also benefit from this info.

Rather than repeat the details, this is a quick-fire article covering some of the satellites going on around the different poker networks at the moment. These include free entry tokens, some extra cash and an improved welcome bonus – just in time for the weekend!

So, here is how you can qualify online for the WPT Montreal, Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure, Punta Cana Classic (Dominican Rep.) or the Irish Winter Festival! Continue reading →

888 Poker Go Free Tournament Token Crazy

Working in the poker business, I get a little jaded when checking out the latest promos… So I am very happy to see one that is so good it actually made me sit up and take notice.

888 Poker are giving away tournament tokens to $10k events all month in October – and with small fields compared to other sites these could be just the ticket (haha) to give your tournament bankroll a massive boost.

Here are the different ways to get your hands on these freebies… Continue reading →

Cool Small Stakes Tournament Give-Away At Party Poker

I always enjoy writing about the promotions which reach out to smaller stakes amateur players best. Sure, we would all love to win a million, however, most readers do not have the bankroll for the biggest events. Party Poker have come up with a great offer – themed ‘Tony’s House’ – where you can win from a long list of gadgets and gizmos, and the winner of the final will also win a Golf GTi!!

Best of all – you only need 1 ‘Party Point’ a day to be involved. Here is how it works: Continue reading →

I also have some good news for readers who play regularly at Pokerstars, the yearly ‘WCOOP reload’ is here – and it clears alongside your usual VIP player rewards. Continue reading →

Changing Guarantees For Sunday Majors

News for both US and worldwide readers today, with some changes in the guarantees of big Sunday online poker tournaments.

Most sites run a ‘Sunday Major’ which is their showcase big poker tournament. The biggest and best known of these is the Pokerstars Sunday Million – though there is a huge choice of $100,000+ prizes available for both US and worldwide players.

There have been some changes (2 increases and 1 decrease) recently, so I have created a post which outline those changes and then list the rest of the guarantees at major sites.

Don’t forget that all the sites run satellite qualifiers for their big events, each week there are big winners who got their seat for just a couple of dollars! Continue reading →

Which Poker Networks Have Rush Poker? (Updated!)

Updating this article with the latest site to introduce fast poker – Party! With ‘Fast Forward Poker’ now in Beta and a potentially big pool of players to try the games out this could be a big winner for the original poker site.

With Pokerstars recently introducing ‘Zoom Poker’, the iPoker Network hosting the ultra-profitable ‘Speed Holdem’, ‘Fast Poker’ being imminent on the brand new ‘Relax Fast Poker Network’, the cool mobile app of Terminal Poker and of course not forgetting the news that Full Tilt are coming back soon…. Well, I thought it was about time to run down the different options which are available. Continue reading →

Return Of The Red Spade Open!

Great news for tournament fans this coming weekend, as the Pokerstars Red Spade Open returns with some big guaranteed prizes ($1 million total, $200k for the eventual winner) and a smaller $55 buy-in.

What I like about this irregular showcase event is the focus on getting as many players in through the satellite qualifiers as possible. To use a small cliché, this means that there really could be life-changing money at stake for an investment of just a couple of dollars in a satellite. Continue reading →

I’ll highlight the kind of player that each of these new player bonuses is best suited to – and then pick the overall ‘best’ at the end based on what I would choose if I could start over!

Best Poker Network For Micro-Stakes Cash Games

One big change in the world of poker that really sticks out for me is the amount of multi-tabling going on at the micro-stakes at some poker sites. I am talking about the 1c / 2c blind tables or maybe 2c / 4c here – who would have imagined 4 or 5 years ago that there would be people playing 10 to 12 of these games at once and taking the games very seriously too!

Sure, there is nothing wrong with learning the ropes and building a bankroll this way. I also happily accept that in a lower GDP country the amounts involved may feel a little higher than they do for an Englishman – however lets get real for a moment here, those stakes are supposed to be where we can mess around, learn the games and have a little fun!
