Post Black Friday Bonus Deals

Stunned and intimidated into submission on Black Friday, the online poker industry took a while to rebound and to begin fighting back. As soon as the various online poker rooms realized that the sky hadn’t caved in on them though, their response was to launch a bunch of promotions to keep their still active players loyal and to attract new players from outside the US. The way to achieve that is obviously to give players some instant-gratification bonuses. The interesting thing about it all was that the promotions launched by the poker rooms directly affected by the DoJ’s move started an avalanche-effect, forcing other online poker rooms to counter with their own bonuses and promotions.
We’ve already covered PokerStars’ 50% reload bonus, meant to give players a boost for the upcoming SCOOP.
Titan Poker, safely out of the reach of US law on the iPoker network, have touched up their first deposit bonus as well. They now offer a 200% match, up to a massive $1,000 to those who sign up through certain channels.
Reaching VIP status will also be a faster undertaking at the site now and those who are VIPs on other poker sites and think that the volume of play they’ll put out at Titan Poker would entitle them to be treated as a VIP at Titan too, can now email support and attain VIP status almost straight away.
Titan will also host a bunch of $1k and $5k first depositor freerolls.
The promotions described above also work for other iPoker rooms like
Mansion Poker,
Winner Poker and Bet 365.
Poker770 have increased their sign-up bonus as well. It now stands at 200% up to €700. This bonus is special because it is currently the largest bonus on the iPoker network. The above mentioned $1k and $5k first depositors’ freerolls run at Poker770 too.
Unibet Poker offers a higher sign-up bonus as well, coupled with increased rake rebate and various freerolls.
