Of course the poker rooms all hope that you will have enjoyed the free poker so much that you will go on to deposit and become a loyal real money player. The competition really hots up and the welcome packages to depositing players are worth a quick look.
All these first deposit bonuses cannot be considered money in the bank, they all have to be worked through which means that you will be playing – and spending – quite a lot to earn the points to release these bonuses! There is more free play to be had however once you have deposited.
There are 888 Poker‘s first depositors freerolls and $100K first depositors challenges especially for newbies to enjoy for nothing. At the moment new depositors will get 2 x tickets to the All in Gift Tournaments and 2 x $5,000 Lucky Star freeroll tickets to tie in with their Gift Shower promotion which runs until 15th February.

Sky Poker will give you a starting balance of 500 poker points to buy tournament tickets with. Please note though that if you use Neteller or Moneybookers to deposit into your account at Sky Poker or you register through your TV you will NOT be eligible for the 200% deposit bonus up to £500 promotion.
So, if your bankroll has taken a hit over the festive holidays and your next payday is still a while away why not try a new poker room where there is poker to play for free giving you the chance to win big.
Good luck at the tables!
