Anyone, even a professional poker player, should grab as much bonuses as they can; that is just a good deal, unless of course, they have something much more exciting and lucrative to do with their schedule.


Let us have a look at different types of online poker bonuses:

Welcome Bonuses or Sign-up Bonuses
Welcome Bonuses or Sign-up Bonuses is one of the most common types of online poker bonus. All online poker sites (as well as online casino, bingo and sports betting sites) can provide new players with a Welcome or Sign-up Bonus that they can spend at one of their tables. Welcome bonuses are mostly small.
You can receive this welcome bonus by registering for an account at the poker room that is providing the bonus and download the poker client software. When the installation is complete, just log-in to your account and spend your welcome bonuses to play your favorite online poker games. 
Whatever you win with your bonus money, you get to own and it will remain in your account. As a rule, however, you will need to play a specific number of hands so that you can redeem your welcome bonus winnings.

Deposit Bonuses
On the contrary, deposit bonuses are awarded to beginner players upon a minimum deposit into their poker site account. First deposit bonus is the most common type of deposit bonuses. Other types of deposit bonus include second deposit bonus, third deposit bonus etc. A few online poker sites also offer deposit bonuses to players who make deposit through a specific deposit method. (For example, ClickandBuy)  Deposit bonuses are usually magnanimous, but they may be redeemed only if you meet certain conditions.
