I'm looking to open my first online poker account since black friday (I live in Washington State so it's been especially difficult to open an account, but I apparently missed the fact that Bovada re-opened its doors to us felons a while ago).

 

I'd like to get the most out of my signup, and I'm guessing people here have the details.  My understanding is that I can get a $100 referral bonus (or my friend with a Bovada account can, which he'll share), and/or I can get a $600 1st deposit bonus (through a RB site, but I don't know if that's the only way – does TPE do affiliate business?), and I don't know if I can get both or how difficult the $600 deposit bonus is to clear.  My understanding is that Bovada has no rakeback but there's some sort of ticket system that probably is pretty lame.

 

If anyone can confirm or deny any of my assumptions and fill in any details or give me any additional tips on signing up at Bovada I'd be grateful.  

 

Looking forward to being a Class-C Felon again…

I specifically remember the $600 figure from before, but now it looks like it's $1000 matching bonus.  If you use your friend's referal code when creating the account I'm fairly certain that doesn't affect your friends referal bonus at all.  You get 60 days to clear, which may be impossible if you only play tournaments or difficult if you play cash 25NL (but certainly not impossible) and lower, and if you do you'll have 5000 Poker Points, which you can convert into $50 worth of tournament tickets.  To me giving me $50 in tournament tickets is the same as giving it to me in cash since it's a lock I'll use it up anyway.

 

The biggest problem you're gonna have is depositing that $1000 within 24 hours.  I would suggest calling or emailing them for advice.  I know there is a specific type of prepaid card that goes through with a high success rate.  I only made one deposit post Black Friday and it was for under $100, so I'm not so sure.
