1. What is the best site for bonuses?

   As with all things in poker, the answer is "it depends":

   What kind of games are you looking for?

   What limits?

   Tournaments or cash games?

   To help you figure out which site is best for you, check out Online poker rooms list.

   Second, look to see what freerolls we offer.

   Also remember, you can clear out a bonus on one site, participate in its freerolls, and there's nothing saying you cannot try out another site after that (or even at the same time). Picking a poker site isn't a commitment for life - so, see what's out there, see what you enjoy, and find the site(s) that fit your needs best.

2. What is a bonus code?

   Bonus code is the special code for bonus recognition. It is used to give special bonuses to people who have not downloaded the software through some sites which are offering special bonuses.

   Say you want to play at PokerStars, downloading the software through PokerNews and using our bonus code means you will be eligible for our exclusive bonus. If you see a good bonus code, please tell your friends about it. Use the advantage poker information sites offer.

3. What is a reload bonus?

   Reload bonus is a special bonus for all existing players who make additional deposits after their first deposit.

   Not all the rooms offer this bonus, so players must be alert and follow the poker room newsletters and promotional information.

4. What does "rake back" mean?

   Rake back is the type of bonus when player can:

   - get back a part of his own rake previously paid to a poker room;

   - get back a part of referred users' (or affiliated users) rake (the best affiliated system offering rake back is in Poker Champs).

   Rake back can be given by some websites as a kind of bonus, but usually it is the incentive of website staff, not poker room.

5. What is a bad beat jackpot?

   Some sites have a bad beat jackpot where if you suffer what they determine is a bad beat, you get a prize (sometimes thousands of real dollars). Every site has different qualifiers for a bad beat, so check their rules about what counts.
