Poker Players Are Winners as Competition Between Leading Online poker Rooms Intensifies

(PRWEB) February 12, 2008 -- As the competition between the leading poker rooms intensifies, new players are being encouraged to sign up at a new room by cash bonuses and freeroll tournaments to big events like WSOP 2008.

Most bonuses consist of a 100% match bonus on player's first deposits. For example, a player deposits $50 and the poker room matches that deposit with a bonus paid directly into their poker account as the bonus requirements are fulfilled (usually playing a certain number of hands or generating a certain amount in 'rake' or tournaments fees). Some rooms, however, have added additional incentives such as entries to tournaments, freerolls or cash bonuses larger than the original deposit.

Nikki Bealing, editor of www.directoryofonlinepoker.com, states:-

"Players are currently benefiting from the intense competition between leading poker rooms. All players, from the total beginner to the seasoned pro, can take advantage of these offers but many do not even know they exist.

The poker rooms obviously do not want to offer these generous bonuses to any 'walk-in' traffic, so release promotional bonus codes for knowledgeable high value players to enter when they first sign up to take advantage of the incentives. This is the type of player that the poker rooms primarily want to attract and this is also the type of player who already knows to look for a poker bonus code (http://www.directoryofonlinepoker.com) at a website like directoryofonlinepoker.com before signing up at a new room. I see it as our mission to let all the other players know about and take advantage of these bonuses offered by poker rooms.

The three largest poker rooms, Pokerstars, Full Tilt Poker and Party Poker are no exception and have a range of very competitive offers to entice players to choose their poker tables.

Full Tilt Poker is run and endorsed by some of the world's most legendary poker players, they also have a world beating bonus offer of 100% of first deposit up to $600. There is also a series of exclusive freerolls to WSOP 2008 worth $125k available to players who use the Full Tilt Referral Code (http://www.directoryofonlinepoker.com/full-tilt-poker-bonus-code-review.shtml) FULTBONUS when they first sign up.

Party Poker, Europe's leading poker room, have always excelled at player promotions and currently offer a first deposit bonus of 120% up to $200 to players using the Party Poker Bonus Code 120PARTY. There are also 3 other official Party Poker Bonus Codes (http://www.directoryofonlinepoker.com/party-poker-bonus-code-review.shtml) which entitle players to a range of cash bonuses and tournament entries.

Pokerstars, the world's largest poker room, currently offer a sign-up bonus of $50 plus private freerolls to any player signing up using the PokerStars Marketing Code (http://www.directoryofonlinepoker.com/pokerstars-bonus-marketing-code.shtml) PAWSUB157 and then using the bonus code FIRST2008 when they deposit at the cashier. Pokerstars have also just announced a series of first depositor freerolls worth $10k for players who sign up between the 14th and 23rd of February who use the deposit bonus code STARS2008 at the cashier (only valid between those dates and to be used in addition to the marketing code PAWSUB157 used when first registering at the site)."

Full up to date details of all the above bonuses (plus many more offers) can be found at the leading Poker Bonus website, www.directoryofonlinepoker.com which also specialises in up to date poker room reviews, poker strategy and poker rules.
