Posted by Preisner: I noticed people just focus on making the necessary points to earn the no deposit money instead of playing with it and focus on winning?
In my opinion the 5000 points are the least of my worries
I think that if indeed you are a bit serious about poker you won't be cashing out too soon. You'lll be focusing on reaching higher limits
maybe they would like a reward for all the hands played to get to the points. maybe they use the money to deposit to another site they prefer. maybe after they reach their goal they see no point in making another. maybe just maybe i can fit a couple more maybes into my post maybe, maybe its possible do you maybe think??? maybe!!

I think you are right. This site helps people initiating in poker! It hasnt the purpose of winning some easy money. We should think in building a big bankroll and play higher limits. Not withdraw our money in the first opportunity we have. But that is only an opinion!

Yeah what you are saying is right but what you need to see is not every one will stay at the same site forever... I move my bankroll to take advantage of other sites bonuses and race's etc. One month i might be doing a point race on Mansion the next month ill transfer it all to Cake to get the best rake back offer i can.
Moving your bankroll can give you some big gains in the long run.
It helps if you keep in touch with the other sites to see what is coming up. Try having a look around its as easy as switching your gas //// LoL

You should play $0,05 and play it seriously, with a $50 bankroll you can play a lot of games, learn a lot and earn money on the long term if you are good at it. Most just All in and double up so they are almost sure to get the cash with risky noob play at $0.05 tables.

Yes ppl do get offset about what to do with a no-deposit bonus, an d much of it depends on the site and offer itself but end of the day what do you play for? Points?think again.
Most people who get a $50 no deposit bonus blow it in a matter of days because its free..
They dont care about the points or anything like that..
I manage a forum and I refer people to various sites and in 99% of the cases those that get free oney have blown it in a matter of days and then they get rid of the site and never play there again unless theres a good freeroll.
