Sign up bonus codes
By Miss Jo K
You will often see an advert to sign up to a poker site offering you a sign up bonus code. The poker site offers the bonus code to entice you to sign up with them rather than one of the other poker sites. The free money you get by using a sign up bonus code is a bit like getting free extra minutes when you sign up for a mobile phone. The money that you get from using a sign up bonus code often a percentage of the initial deposit amount so the more you deposit when you sign up to the poker site the more you will get as a bonus. There is however also a maximum amount of bonus that you can receive which again varies form one site to another.
So what are sign up bonus codes exactly?
Well it's a specific alphanumeric string or code that you can enter when making your first deposit with a poker site (poker room). This is usually when you first sign up for a poker account but it can also be when you have been playing for some time and make a further deposit. The main difference between the types of sign up bonus codes is whether they are cash match bonuses or raked hand requirement bonuses.
Cash match bonus: The amount of cash you deposit will be matched and added to your account. This can sometimes have other conditions attached so make sure you read any small print or terms and conditions.
Raked hand requirement: The bonus will be added to your account after so many raked hands have been played. A qualifying raked hand is one where a player is dealt cards in a hand and the player then contributes real money to the pot - this is real money being put on the table, in contrast to a certain amount of money paid to receive a certain amount in poker chips. There is also often a minimum contribution amount of real money to qualify as a raked hand, for example a bigger raked hand table may require that you have at least $100 in your account to join the table - this varies from one site to another.
The amount of cash received, and the terms and conditions surrounding sign up bonus codes vary from one poker site to another.
Reload bonus codes
This is basically a way in which the poker site keeps you with them - like a loyalty bonus. By offering you further bonuses when you make further deposits you are less likely to go to another poker site after you have used your initial poker sign up bonus. Reload Bonus codes are often something which poker sites entice you with if you haven't used your account for a while to get you playing again. They are also offered during holiday times as it's expected you'll have more free time to play.
