PKR has decided to give an early Christmas present to each and every one of their current players.  Any player that makes a deposit between now and December 31st will receive a 100% matching reload bonus up to $600.  In order to receive this bonus you must use PKR bonus code MXAS09!

This reload bonus will clear at a rate of $1 for every 250 PKR points earned.  The reload bonus will be released to your account as a lump sum once you have earned the required number of PKR points.  You have 60 days to clear your entire bonus, so you should make a deposit amount that you are confident you can clear or you could be left with nothing.

This offer is only available to existing players.  If you are a new PKR player than you can receive the new player initial deposit bonus of 100% up to $800 with the use of PKR bonus code NEWBONUS.  If you have a rakeback account you are still eligible for this bonus, but the bonus money you earn will be deducted from your gross rake for the month.

Take advantage of this reload bonus and enjoy your Christmas at PKR!  This bonus can be cleared easily by playing in the variety of Christmas Cracker tournaments running at PKR.  Don’t wait, get your free money today.

Cake Poker

Cake Poker is the same as Full Tilt.  You earn 7 FPP’s for every $1 in tournament fee you pay and every FPP is worth $0.06 of your bonus.  This means that, just like Full Tilt, every $1 in tournament fees you pay, you earn $0.042 back in cleared bonuses.

At CD Poker you earn 15 CD Points for every $1 paid in tournament fees.  Every 10 CD Points you earn is worth $0.08 of your bonus.  This means that for every $1 paid in tournament fees at CD Poker you only earn $0.12 of back in cleared bonus amounts.

PKR

At PKR you earn 100 PKR Points for every $1 paid in tournament fees.  If you get the 100% up to $600 bonus then every 225 PKR points you earn is worth $1 of your bonus.  However, if you choose the $50 fixed bonus you must earn 7500 PKR points to clear the entire bonus, which works out to only 150 PKR points for every $1 of the bonus.  Therefore, if you get the 100% matching bonus up to $600 at PKR every $1 paid in tournament fees earns you $0.44 of your bonus.  Whereas, if you take the $50 fixed bonus then every $1 paid in tournament fees earns you $0.67 of your bonus.

Conclusion

From this information you can easily conclude that CD Poker is the worst poker room to clear bonuses at through tournament play.  PKR’s $50 fixed bonus is the easiest to clear with $0.67 of your bonus being cleared for every $1 in tournament fees paid.  The problems with the PKR bonus is that the bonus amount is only a maximum of $50 and you do not receive increments of the bonus, but only the lump sum once the total amount of PKR points is accumulated.  Also, if you aren’t able to clear the bonus in 90 days you lose the entire amount and all the PKR points you have up to this point were pointless.

The Full Tilt Poker and Cake Poker bonuses are both fairly easy to clear from tournament play, with each clearing $0.42 of your bonus for every $1 in fees paid.  The Full Tilt bonus is a little bit better though, just because you have 120 days to clear instead of the 90 days that Cake Poker offers.

In conclusion, if you don’t have a lot to deposit and are just looking for the easiest to clear and best value poker bonus to build your poker bankroll, without the size of the bonus really being of concern I would go for the PKR $50 fixed bonus which you can get by entering PKR bonus code PKRFREE50 when making your first deposit at PKR Poker.  If you are looking for a larger bonus that is still easy to clear through tournament play, go with the Full Tilt bonus, by entering Full Tilt referral code THEFULLTILT when signing up as a new player at Full Tilt Poker.
