Hi! I am creating this thread because i didnt decide yet, what cardroom will I chose to my next no deposit bonus here in bankroll mob! I can only chose one of this three rooms: Vulcan, Virgin or Action poker? What do you think, what are the rooms with the best software, with the best and easiest point system?
I checked out the Action Poker website and it looks as if it'll take no-deposit bankroll players a long time to clear the points requirements. 450 POP are needed to be collected within 30 days to keep the $40. You get 1 POP per $.10 contributed (note that you have to contribute to the rake to get points). So you get 10 POP per $1 taken in rake (tournament POP distribution is the same...10 POP per $1 in fees). Since rake is calculated at 5% of the total pot, if you do the math, you would need to be involved in at least $900 worth of pots (and that's not even including hands folded pre-flop where you have money in the pot). You don't even get your first $50 bonus until 700 POP ($1400 worth of pots). However, since BRM is not currently offering no-deposit bonuses for either Vulcan or Virgin at this time, I guess you have no other choice than to go with Action. Just know that you are going to have to play a lot of poker and be profitable. Good luck at the tables!

Go for Virgin, and Action I guess. Virgin is the better site, at least the mtts fill up and don't get canceled. I had my €10 up to €50 but then blew a lot of that on the slots ... lol. Action is very bland, it lacks so many options and the bonus isn't so easy to clear unless you're consistently winning. Also if you don't clear it on time you will have problems when trying to withdraw if you then start to deposit and win.
Vulcan isn't available, I'm waiting on that one myself.
