Finding Poker Bonuses

Before claiming an online poker bonus there are some factors to consider. You must determine if the poker bonus is actually easy enough to clear before it expires. Some poker sites require such a high turnover that it is almost impossible to clear your bonus.

The poker sites that operate on the Revolution Poker Network such as Juicy Stakes offer a very easy poker bonus to earn. At these USA online poker sites you only need to spend $2.38 in tournament fee's or rake generated to earn $1 of your bonus. This is by far the easiest poker bonuses to earn. Be weary of poker sites that require as much as $10 in fee's or rake to earn just $1 of your bonus. Chances are you will never be able to earn the bonus before it expires making the bonus worthless.

For more tips on earning poker bonuses see a better explanation of claiming poker bonuses and the requirements for earning your bonus. Just because you have $500 in a pending bonus account means nothing until you are to turn that into free cash.

Lock Poker Paying Slow

43 days and counting for a payout from Lock Poker. We are concerned with such a long delay and wanted to bring this to our readers attention. We hope the payout we requested back in early October is received shortly.

With all of that said, you should avoid making any deposits to Lock Poker until they have these withdraw issues squared away. There is nothing worse than playing poker and winning but never receiving your payout. They state it is a processor issue and they are waiting on them to provide control numbers and tracking numbers but we are no longer making deposits until this resolved.

This is the first time we have experienced any delays at Lock and hope it will be rectified very shortly. For more information on this you can see another blog post at playusaonlinepoker.com who also speaks about the Lock Poker Slow Pay. They also make some recommendations about where USA players should play.

Once this is resolved we will surely update this post. If and when we receive our withdraw we will then make another deposit and see how long it takes to receive another payout. This long of a delay is unacceptable and before we could recommend Lock Poker again the wait time for payouts must be reduced.
