Unlike the sign-up bonuses, where starting bankroll is the primary factor in determining your bonus collection path, your decision on which reload bonuses to collect is primarily dependent on the amount of time you can invest to playing online poker.  If a site offers a great 50% reload bonus, but only gives you three days to complete the requirements, you must consider whether you are committed to playing the amount of hands necessary in that time to collect the bonus.  If not, the value of the bonus to you is $0.

Like all bonuses, you should review the terms & conditions of the bonus in case anything has changed since our posting.  Some reload bonuses have tougher requirements than a poker room's sign-up bonus so don't assume if the $100 sign-up bonus only required 500 raked hands that a site's $100 reload bonus will as well.  Again, we attempt to help you wade through all that mess within this guide.

How to use this guide:

We will rank all of the current reload bonuses from best to worst.  Our judgment of best is based on a combination of size, ease of collecting, and the softness of games you will find at a particular poker room.  We will also tend to rank bonuses with smaller windows of opportunity (i.e. holiday bonuses) above those with longer ones (i.e. monthly bonuses).  Just because a bonus is at the bottom of the ranking does not mean it is a horrible bonus, just that the others above it, should be collected first.

Starting at the top of the list, review the poker room's reload bonus requirements and expected time to complete the maximum bonus requirements.  If you are unable to meet the necessary time requirements, you may want to skip that room's bonus and move to the next one on the list or deposit an amount smaller than the maximum.  If a bonus is paid in increments ($10 or $20 being typical), you should deposit the maximum possible and collect as much of the bonus as you can before it expires.

Example:  Site A offers a 100% match reload up to $100.  Player must complete 1000 raked hands within 10 days of reloading to get the full $100.  We tell you that it should take you 14 hours of play to complete the max requirements, but you are certain you will be unable to play more than 7 hours during that span.  The value of the reload for you is $50 (7 hrs / 14 hrs = 50%; 50% x $100 = $50).  If the bonus is paid in increments, deposit the maximum and collect as many increments as you can before it expires.  If the bonus is paid in one lump sum, only deposit the amount necessary to earn you a $50 bonus and collect all of it.

Check back frequently for any new reloads.  Happy collecting!!
