Super Poker Bonus Points

I just ran across another poker bonus.  I am getting really tired of these new bonuses where they try and trick you into thinking your getting something.

I am not going to say the name of the site because I think it’s an ok site.  But I liked it back in the old days, when you had a raked hand requirement of say 5 or 7 raked hands per $1 of bonus money.

Simple and honest, then some sites decided they wanted 20 or 40 raked hands for each $1 of bonus money.  Well poker players don’t want to play 40 raked hands no body cares about a bonus like that.  I sure wouldn’t take the trouble and time to sign up for a site that offered that.

Ok, so some poker sites decided to try and make the bonus confusing enough to get some of the dumber players to fall for it.  Call it super poker bonus points and each raked hand you get 1 point – if the raked hand is $60 or more.  If it is less then you only get 1/20 of a super poker point.

Accumulate a bazillion poker bonus points and then you can trade them in for one dollar.

Now, when I start reading the requirements and they have more than 2 equations to figure out, and I have to solve for X and Y to see how much my bonus is I am not playing those sites anymore.

I would like to start some kind of sit out, and run these “don’t really want to pay you a bonus” sites out of business.

Oh, wait a minute I forgot no body reads this but me.  Ok, note to myself don’t fall for any more poker bonuses that are so complicated you can’t figure out how much they are playing.
