Start Off the New Year With The Best Poker Poker Room Promotions

The New Year isn’t just a reason to dress a little nicer than you usually would and drink a whole lot more than you usually would.  It’s also a time of year where poker rooms make sweeping changes to their VIP programs and promotional rosters,  meaning that astute poker players have the opportunity to redefine their list of the best online poker rooms based on the changing values each room offers. 

Here are a few things online poker players should be looking for when coming up with their list.

New VIP Terms:  Since a lot of VIP programs, such as the PokerStars VIP program, run on a calendar year, January is the time when changes to VIP programs take place.  These changes can range anywhere from minor to major, and it is definitely worth your time to pay attention to the new fine print.  With the demise of rakeback programs, VIP programs have become increasingly important to the bottom line of the typical player, so any changes to those programs could have big implications.

New Deposit Bonuses: Reload bonuses are especially popular at this time of year, so you might want to shop around and see if you can’t add a few percentage points to your rakeback rate by taking advantage of a generous reload with a good clearance rate.  You shouldn’t  have much trouble finding reload bonuses, but don’t be afraid to contact customer support directly and see if they won’t accommodate you –  after all, the worst they can say is no.

New Year’s Promos: While most rooms pack their daily promotions into December via some sort of “12 days of Christmas” theme, there are a few rooms that embrace the New Year as a theme for promotions, meaning that unique value can be found at these rooms during the month of January.
