Bonus whoring isn’t what it once was. Online poker rooms install safeguards these days that pretty much stop bonus whoring. In the old days you could buy-in and cash out the bonus with minimal play. It makes sense to take advantage of any poker bonuses you can, but the opportunity to pad your bankroll and cash out the easy profit is long gone.

New sign-up bonuses are the best way to bonus whore now, but there are not enough new sites to make whoring worth the effort. Once you’ve joined the poker room you’re dependent on re-load bonuses, which are not as good as the sign-up bonuses. If you’re a member of numerous sites, and want to buy-in, you’ll be able to choose the best bonus available at the time. With the win/loss variance every player experiences, one could easily lose more than the bonus is worth.
