Deposit bonuses are offered by a typical site de poker for new players but are occasionally offered to returning players as well. There are different variations of deposit bonuses that sites de poker en ligne offer. For new players, a poker site will often offer a matching of deposited funds. This could be a flat amount, a percentage or capped percentage. For example, someone could find that one site de poker offers a flat one hundred dollar deposit bonus for any deposit over one hundred dollars. Another site may offer a flat twenty-five percent matching of deposited funds. A third site may offer fifty percent matching but will only match up to one hundred dollars.

For the player who is just starting, the first site is the best choice, maximizing their small deposit. For the high roller, the second site is the best choice. The third site could be a good choice as well, if the player figures out if there is a point where it is worth making a deposit. For returning players, sites will occasionally offer deposit bonuses similar to those mentioned but also will offer other deposit bonuses. Recently a few sites de poker en ligne began offering special tournaments for returning players who made a deposit during a specified time period. If the player deposited money in a twenty four hour period, they were allowed to enter a special tournament with special prizes or payouts.
