Bingo bonuses are offered mainly in two different ways, an upfront cash bonus or a percentage of the player’s deposit.  An example of an up front bonus would be if the bingo room gives away $20 free when players deposit at least $10 for their first deposit.  This type of bonus may be good for players who are only depositing a small amount for their first deposit.  Players who are depositing a bit more money might want to use the percentage type bingo bonuses.  An example of this would be the Bet365 bingo bonus where they are offering players a 200% match of their deposit in bonus money.  This means if a player deposits $25 they will be credited with $50 in bonuses ($25 x 200%).  Both of these types of bingo bonuses can be useful for the player and should be compared before depositing at a bingo room.

Although it is good to look at the bonus offered by the bingo room you should also check things such as their cashier options, promotions or which countries are allowed to play at their bingo room.  Some bingo rooms may not allow certain players, such as players that are residents of the United States.  The few bingo rooms that don’t allow some countries do so because of certain gambling related laws.  If you decide to give online bingo a try good luck and have fun!

Re: How to win SNG’s

The Sit N Go (SNG) is online poker’s great gift to the aspiring tournament player. Prior to the SNG, final table experience was hard to come by. You could enter a dozen multi-table tournaments and never find yourself at a final table. Or you could make one or two, only to get knocked out in 8th or 9th place.

Adapting to an ever-diminishing number of players at a single table is a crucial skill in tournament poker, and it’s a hard experience to find offline without investing a lot of time and money. Online, this experience is a mouse-click away.

The SNG’s advantages are many. For starters, it’s low-cost, or even free. It’s also fun, and convenient: You don’t need to schedule it — a SNG starts every time the table fills up — and it’s usually over in less than an hour. It is the flight simulator of Final Table play, and mastering it should be considered mandatory homework for the serious student.

Now that you know why you should play, let’s look at how:

The most obvious difference between a SNG and a multi-table tournament is that when someone goes broke in a SNG, there isn’t someone waiting to fill their spot. Multi-table play consists mostly of full-table, ring game poker. But as players get eliminated from a SNG, the table gets shorter- and shorter-handed.

This reduction in players basically serves to artificially raise the antes. For instance, say you are playing five-handed and the blinds are 100-200: You are paying 300 in blinds for every five hands, or 60 per hand.

As soon as someone gets knocked out, you’re four-handed. Now you’re paying 75 per hand — a 25% increase — despite the fact that the blinds have remained the same. Accordingly, you’re forced to gamble more, or risk getting blinded out.

Since the size of the blinds relative to your stack size should always play a major role in you hand selection, I recommend starting out with pretty conservative starting hand requirements.

This serves two functions:

• First, the blinds dictate that you play fairly tight early; the blinds are small and you are nine-handed, so they don’t come around as often.
• Second, this helps you establish a tight image, which you hope will pay off later when the blinds are high and you might really need a timely ante steal.

But there is another not-so-obvious reason to play tighter earlier and looser later: The payout structure rewards tight play. Most SNG’s pay 50% to first, 30% to second, and 20% to third. This payout structure dictates that you play for third. Why? Looking at the payout structure another way might help. Basically, the payout means that 60% gets awarded once you are down to three players, 20% gets awarded when you get down to two players, and the final 20% gets awarded to the winner.

If you can just get to third, you get at least one-third of 60% of the prize pool, or 20%. You’ve locked up a profit, and you have a chance to win up to 30% more. It’s only now that you’re in the top three that your strategy should take an abrupt turn. Now it pays to gamble for the win.

Let’s look at the numbers again: 60% of the prize pool is off the table, and moving up one spot is worth only another 10%. But move up just one more spot and it’s worth a whopping 30% extra — that’s three times more for first than it is for second. And with the blinds going up, gambling for the win is even more clearly the correct play.

I see many players employ a nearly opposite strategy. They figure they have nothing to lose, so they go for the quick double-up early. They take chances too soon when, in their view, there’s “nothing on the line”. Then, once they’re in the money, they tighten up, thinking about that extra payout for moving up a spot. If you start to rethink your SNG approach and adopt a “slow early, fast late” strategy, you will see an almost immediate improvement in your results.

Best of luck and see you at the tables,

The 4 Stages of SNG’s:

1. Early Game (9-10 players) — You should be playing extremely tight in the early game, playing only premium hands. You should not be playing any hands but big pairs and AK when out of position. This will create a tight image for you so that you can steal a couple of pots when the blinds get bigger. As the blinds start to go up, you can begin to loosen up your starting hand requirements, because the table will be shorter, and the blinds will actually be worth something
2. The Bubble (4-5 players) — When you are one or two people away from the money, many short stacks will tighten up and try and fold their way into 3rd Place. These are the players you need to bully. Raise their blinds and steal pots from them. Don’t get into any situations where you are not dictating the action. Don’t make any bad calls.
3. In The Money (3 players) — Now you have made the money. If there is a short-stack, he will probably loosen up considerably once the bubble breaks. It is not necessarily your job to bust him. Don’t go out of your way to get him out. Wait for a good spot, and if you can’t get one let the other guy bust him. The difference between 3rd and 2nd Place money is not much, but the difference between 2nd and 1st is considerable.
4. Head’s Up (2 players) — Punish your opponent for being too tight. You will have a good handle on how he plays right now, and you can use that against him. The stacks will be short compared to the blinds a lot of times, so it may turn into 2-card Poker. If he folds too much, raise more. If he is too aggressive, wait to trap him. If he is a calling station, hopefully you can make a hand, and when you do, even 2nd pair, value bet it knowing he will even call you down with Ace-High.
