The sites listed in this section all offer free money to play poker with. This can be very useful to you if you want to know what a site is like, and want to start without depositing your own money first.
The most important things you need to remember are :
1) If you have already got an account at a poker site, do not attempt to "scam" them. Poker sites take information from your PC which they can cross reference. If you have already opened an account they can and most likely will pick up on it, and not only will you be declined the money, there is a real chance they could close your accounts. If they do this its possible you will never be able to open a new account again.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SCAM THEM.. IT DOESNT WORK. THEY ARE FAR CLEVERER THAN YOU THINK.
2) Make sure you fully read the terms and conditions, including important stuff such as what the requirements are before you can withdraw. They could take all the money back from you if you havent played by the rules. Imagine winning $300 from your $10 start off, then they take it off you because you didnt read the terms and conditions and tried to withdraw.
IF IN DOUBT, ASK THE POKER SITE FOR ALL THE INFORMATION. IF THEY WON'T TELL YOU WOULD YOU REALLY WANT TO PLAY FOR A SITE THAT WON'T TELL YOU WHAT YOU'VE SIGNED UP FOR ?
3) Try and stick to some form of Bankroll management. The general consensus tends to be that its free money, so what harm can it do if you lose it all in one go. This is a fools way of thinking. Once you get the money, if you blow it playing the first high stakes MTT or Ring game you can get into, you wont get another amount. Its then on your head to deposit if you want to carry on playing on the site. Most sites will give you more IF you can grind the money up slowly.
LEARN BANKROLL MANAGEMENT. GRIND IT UP SLOWLY. THERE ARE NO GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES IN POKER.
4) Where possible find out what benefits there are for depositing. Most sites offer seats in lucrative freerolls for first time depositors. These can be very useful as a good win in one of them means you have TWO lots of money to play with, plus what you've deposited. Grind this up, clear the requirements and you can withdraw to your hearts content.
LOOK AT ALL THE OPTIONS. DEPOSITING EVEN THE MINIMUM AMOUNT COULD PROVE TO BE VERY LUCRATIVE
5) Check out all the options. Some sites offer better deals than others. Shop around and find out what deal suits you best.
SHOP AROUND. DONT TAKE THE FIRST OPTION YOU SEE
6) When you decide on a site you want free money at, there is one important piece of information you really need to know. Poker sites will place tracking cookies on your computer every time you visit their site. Its that tracking cookie that determines who you have signed up with. Before you register for any promotion clear your internet cookes, history etc. If you dont then should you have visited the poker sites website previously there is every chance they have already tracked your PC and you wont be classed as "referred" by the referring website, and you wont get paid.
CLEAN UP YOUR PC.
