How to Make Money at Online Poker (Even if You Suck at It)

Fri, Oct 10, 2008

Seriously, I’ve found a way that even beginner poker players can make money - right from the beginning. It’s not some magical book or new system some “guru” released. It’s a great deal for everyone involved and is by far the most consistent way to make money at online poker, that I’ve ever seen.

Are you pumped yet? If not, you need to get pumped! Because you’ll soon be ready to quit your day job with the information I’m about to share.

Okay, first things first, I know when anyone promises something that sounds too good to be true - it usually is. That’s why I want to put your fears put at ease before I reveal exactly how you are going to make money at online poker.

  1. There is nothing to buy (phew!)
  2. It’s 100% legit
  3. Thousands of poker players have already started making money from it

The solution I’ve found to help every poker player make money is called rakeback. The idea is simple. Poker rooms make money by collecting a small percentage of every pot. This is called rake.

Creative web site owners came up with the idea of rakeback. Rakeback websites get a certain percentage of your monthly rake as payment from the poker rooms for referring you. Instead of keeping the profits they pay you all but a small portion of your rake back.

I signed up for rakeback at PokerDayJob.com. They have a small professional site focused on helping players who want to make a living playing online poker or just want a little extra income each month. They have tons of great rakeback deals with the top online poker sites. Here’s a list of deals I copied from their site.

Rakeback Offers
CardSpike 33%
Minted Poker 46%
Full Tilt Poker 27%
Absolute Poker 30%
Poker Kings 30%
Carbon Poker 30%
Ultimate Bet 30%
Cake Poker 33%
Iron Duke 30%
True Poker 27%
Poker4ever 35%
Spin32 Poker 30%
Poker Nordica 30%
Red Star Poker 33%
PKR Poker 30%
BetSafe Poker 30%
Action Poker 35%
Sun Poker 30%
Interpoker 30%
Poker Heaven 30%
Fat Bet Poker 50%

Hopefully, by next month I’ll have a big rakeback check to tell you about. In the mean time, I highly recommend that you grab a rakeback deal for yourself and really make some money at online poker!

Bonus Hacking 101: Because Bonus Whoring Is Old School!

Wed, Jul 16, 2008

Yes, I said it. Bonus whoring is old school. For those of you who aren’t familiar with bonus whoring, it’s basically taking advantage of poker and casino bonus offers. Bonus whores sign up at a site, play the minimum required to clear the bonus, cash out, and move on to the next victim.

But don’t you tell people that they SHOULD take advantage of gambling bonuses?

Yes, I do, but not the same way that bonus whores do. See, I too was at one time, a bonus whore *shameful look*. I’ve changed my philosophy somewhat since then and advocate a slightly different approach I call bonus hacking. So how is bonus hacking different from bonus whoring? I’ll explain that and more in the following article.
