So im about to deposit on ACR. I Can't decide on whether i want to deposit $50 or $100. I guess im asking if anyone thinks the $100 bonus is within grasp of clearing, or if im better off just depositing $50.

Depends what are you going to play, then you can determine 100 or 200 is a better bankroll. Keep in mind you also get $50 in tourney tickets with your first time deposit. If you are going to play micro $2 NL, $200 is a pretty standard BR for that.

Without a bonus, you can cash out whenever you want with no play through.

There generally will only be playthrough requirements on instant cash bonuses, not bonuses that you must unlock like first deposit bonuses or reload bonuses.

Besides if you plan on depositing to build up a bankroll there generally wouldn't be much of a reason to cash out unless you strike something really big which probably means you were playing something outside a decent BRM anyhow to start with and unless you have a fear you go and donk it all off at higher stakes that still isn't any reason to need to cash it out prior to playing any requirements if they exist.

So anyone depositing and looking to play following good brm and work their way up stakes should definitely take advantage of first deposit and reload bonuses but then just ignore them and don't try and grind towards it as a goal just play and any bonus unlocked would be just that a bonus to the br.

Okay. I have a tainted view. The last time I deposited was '07 on an older merge site. while unlocking the bonus, the rules changed. It would have taken a week or month at my pace. Instead it took about a year.

ACR may have an offer to look at instead of contempt prior to investigation.

yeah the merge deposit bonus is horrible and ends up being <10% rakeback or something and would be almost impossible to unlock it 100% unless you played way out of BRM and just ran like god to play stakes big enough to unlock it.

wpn bonus is pretty good if I recall from when I had a look at it, probably like 30% or more rakeback equivalent so while having the bonus if you also have the 27% rakeback you wind up getting about 50% rakeback or so during that period (as there is an adjustment where part of the rake that goes towards the bonus you don't get rakeback on it).

They have the best rewards program on the market now pretty much, even on stars since their changes the max you get is 30% for supernova which of course requires a hell of a lot of play to maintain versus getting 27% anytime all the time without an amount of play requirement so couple that with the fact that wpn has a big first deposit bonus as well as now and then reload bonuses there isn't anywhere else that match those rewards atm (at least that I'm aware of, the closes would probably be intertops as they have a 36% rakeback you can sign up for and reload bonuses like every month but would rank wpn higher since the traffic at intertops isn't that great (although I would love to see it rebound eventually) and nor is their mtt selection).

IMO merge pretty just killed all the benefits of playing there when they made changes to their no rakeback, and no leaderboards etc over the last few years. They do have a decent mtt selection though.
