Default bonus whoring question

I have a bankroll of around $600 on pp. Would it make sense for me to switch that over to Full Tilt to get their 100% bonus. How hard is it to clear their bonuses? What is the competition differential between the two sites? Logistically: I use the IGM method, does Full Tilt have that?

Thanks

I know tilt is difficult.

Should have posted this a few weeks ago before PokerNow and MultiPoker merged into Party. I had some sweet $100, 5X bonuses on both those sites.

Start hitting the cryptos for easy bonuses.

The easy-difficulty factor in clearing a bonus at Tilt depends on the level you play at... the higher the level the easier it becomes. I can tell you that at the lower levels it is pretty time intensive, but you do get paid out in $15 increments so you don't have to clear the whole thing before getting paid.

I think you'll find the level of play stronger at Tilt but there are still enough fish there to make it profitable.

As far as IGM, I'm not sure, check the site.

With Party owning IGM, I'm thinking NO, Full Tilt will absolutely not have that deposit option.

Also, I think they release the bonuses in $20 increments. I play higher limits than the average person here, and I've found that bonus very easy to clear. Clearing $20 per session for me is no problem. You also get credit toward clearing your bonus by playing in tourneys, just like Stars.

Back to the original question, yes... I believe when you are starting out, moving your roll from one site to another and bonus whoring is a great way to build it up. Full Tilt is by no means the easiest bonus to clear, but it should definitely be a stop on your list.

If you want EASY money, take me up on my Titan offer and some of the others where both the site AND I can give you a nice bonus.

Default others to try

Empire which is a party poker affiliate gives a the same easy bonus as party - plus you already have an account with them, so no filling out sign-up forms. Paradise also gives a pretty easy one if you play 25 or 50NL - though the bonus is only for $50.

GeoffM cryptos? Name these sites for me if you would. My bonus whoring ears are open. I promise to stop with the wrestling slams - oops did I say slams - OK, that's the last one for real, buddy. Cryptos have pretty easy bonuses? Are they safe sites - never heard of them.
