Do you get influenced by poker promotions?

[ancakeul]

yes but there are not really good offers only for new players

 

[pjokay]

Yes these get me frequently often squeezing in games when I am tired or late registration to qualify for a special promotion. Even entered games to get some of the pokerstars emojis which irritatingly some have been removed now.

I am a huge fan of promotions. Often players do not understand the icm of the promoted formats and they become very good games.

 

[Cooking]

Yes. Last year I made a promise to myself to not deposit only because of a poker room promotion. Most of them don't worth it to really make a deposit to play.

 

[hilary antonik filho]

No, I was never a fan of promotions, I believe it is just a lure

 

[sibkaz]

I try, I try, but it rarely works...)

 

[lauestla]

I never use promotions.
I don't deposit just because of a bonus.
And the only time I play a game which I had not planned to join... is if I get a free ticket

 

[LUKADONCICMVP]

poker promotions are scam for u to generate rake so they can win more $

 

[rufininha14]

These promotions don't make any difference to me, I usually don't participate.

 

[ramdon p358]

I don't let myself be influenced by promotions, because in the end I can end up losing more money than I could earn.

 

[Acechador]

Yes, poker promotions can be enticing, but as an experienced player, I assess their true value before engaging. I focus on promotions that align with my bankroll strategy and offer genuine EV (expected value), avoiding those that might distract from disciplined play.

 

[19aleks57]

I pay attention to the promotions upon registration, the rest of the offers in my opinion are a game on satellites in 10 stages.

 

[gustavofuentes2]

No I don't. But that is just me. I think there is a catch to everything so I try and stir clear of promotions. Good Luck

Hey forum,

I'm curious about your opinions by the above question.

I figured I tend to play more or formats I usually don't play just to make use of the promo. It's not always a good trade. 😅

I agree. Sometimes promotions encourage us to spend extra money. I also analysed my ‘investments’ and several promotions on different sites, 888, GGPoker and PokerStars, and decided that in the future I will limit my participation in such various promotions, because my bankroll is only decreasing from these ‘promotions’

 

[Iryna Stryzheuskaya]

I love interesting and profitable for players promotions .

 

[Rachidao]

I've won a lot of money with promotions, won tickets etc, played them and withdrawal. Only first deposit.

 

[eetenor]

Some sites offer temporary promotions where you need to play X games of type Y for something like tournament or cash bonus money or to enter some sort of shootout to win something.

Those type of promos are good if you will normally play the Y games- not if you have to step out of your comfort zone- the reward has to be worth 5% of the buyin or more to be worthwhile.

 

[successlaw]

I'm not so into these promos because those are not so profitable nowadays

 

[Sullivanryn88]

In the beginning first starting out, i will admit i was one of the ones who did until realizing how not in your favor they usually are lined up to be.

 

[bowserdon]

No I get enough poker

 

[bullkk]

I am wary of poker promotions.

 

[Shooter74]

For sure!! Mainly freerolls, bonuses and free tickets

 

[Poker Orifice]

E.g cardex on pokerstars can be tough when you need to win 7 hands all with crappy specific cards (like do you really want to 3bet 72o just to complete the promo!)

The example you've given here would have me wanting to partake in that promo just that much more! If this is what the requirement is for players, then I'll know that the tables will have that much more action & typically from players who aren't normally playing in that player pool.

Personally I LOVE the promos and I will always play them on all sites. I only wish they had more. Promos bring out the donks... what could be better?

 

[WrongUsername]

no it´s a complete waste of time 1% of people win probably GG employers or other site employers.

 

[rachelle2291]

I do miss placing the free sportsbets that pokerstars gave out for months
