Accounting,
I can't believe it's that easy. Afterall, they don't call it "gambling" for nothing. Yes, I play poker, but usually for free at the fun sites. I win a few and I lose a few. 'Splain to me how you can be guaranteed to make money. Thanks.

Well a good place for information is
www.bonuswhores.com or the "2+2 forums" which is the largerst poker forums on the net. Once you get there you can look at the Internet bonuses section for current bonuses.
For example (and this is only one of many example) Party Poker has a reload going on for July that works like this:
- $100 bonus
- to clear this you have to play 1000 raked hands (so a 10X bonus) over 10 days (this will take about 2000 hands of play to clear as not all hands are raked)
- a raked hand is defined as any hand that is raked and for a hand to be raked the pot has to be 5 bucks
-lowest limits are .5/1 limit hold'em
-generally you can get 65 hands per hour (I play 3 tables at once so over 200 hands per hour)
Other sites only have 5X bonuses so you would have to play 5X the bonus amount you are getting. For a $100 bonus like above you would need to play 500 raked hands.
There is easily $2000 out there for sign up bonuses at the lowest stakes. Generally speaking you are looking at a rate of $12 per hour, but I find it is fun so I don't mind the low hourly "wage". Once all the signups are done you can look for frequent reload bonuses. In terms of risk, it is very difficult...no make that almost impossible...to actually lose money on any one bonus. I have done over 75 bonuses and have lost money on one and that was a $27 loss. The risk truly is minimal and I am the most risk averse person I know.
On the casino side of things, one of the no risk monthly recurring bonuses out there is InterCasino.
Deposit $100 and they give you $100. You play with $200 and if you lose their $100 simply cash out and you have lost nothing. I have taken about $1200 from InterCasino in a span of 6 months. The hourly rate on casino bonuses is around $50 per hour. There are also much riskier bonuses out there that have a positive expected value but with greater risk comes greater rewards. There are many who are doing casino bonuses that make 2 or 3000 a month but I am not willing to take on the added risk.
