Each poker room calculates their rake fee in different ways. The main ways are terms you will see mentioned are contributed and dealt, this means if the poker room takes a fee for just being dealt cards or only if you have contributed to the pot.

This means the amount of bonus you will receive as a percentage of your initial deposit. For example if a bonus says 100% up to $1000 it means the maximum bonus is $1000 if you deposit $500. It would be unwise therefore to deposit more than $500 initially as you would gain no extra deposit bonus.

Not necessarily, If you saw 200% up to $600 although the maximum is less than say 100% up to $1000 the return on your initial deposit is higher. As your bonus is often cleared by the amount of rake you have paid it is important to pick a room whose rake method is the most sympathetic to your particular playing style.

Unlike other online gambling games, when you play poker you play against other players so the poker rooms do not actually make any money from your wins or loses. Like any business they need to make some profit so they charge a small fee for each real money hand or tournament which is called rake.

When mentioned on BonusPoker.com we mean an online poker tournament with no entry or buy in fee. The prize totals is a guaranteed amount which will be divided between the wining players as set out by the individual promotion terms and conditions.

To enter a typical tournament, a player pays a fixed buy-in and at the start of play is given a certain quantity of tournament poker chips. The total cost of an online poker tournament is split into two parts, the buy-in and the entry fee. The buy-in is the portion of the tournament cost which goes into the prize pool. The entry fee is the rake. Typically the two parts are written like this: $200 + $20.
