My vacation this year ended up being a little bit more expensive than usual and I had some unforeseen expenses, so in the final weeks leading up to the vacation is was riding in the city all day long (I get paid after every delivered package).
Thanks to reckless driver yesterday I came home richer with an ankle injury and a big hospital bill.
At first I had no idea what to do, my flight leaves in one week and because of the hospital bill I have even less money for the vacation than I anticipated. One of my colleagues often plays online poker after work and he told me about these promotions with which he regularly gets a couple hundred bucks every month.
I have played with this guy a lot at friendly poker games and he is absolutely terrible, I thought if he can do it, I might be able to aswell, after all I have experience in online play aswell, I have built decent bankrolls with small investments before.
Since I had to sit in my bed all day anyway due to my injury, I decided to go for it and I went on Rakerace.com to find the best room for me. I didn't take a look at the bigger rooms, as far as I know these have the toughest players.
First I looked at Intertops, they are organizing a $2,000. The guy in first place probably cannot be caught, but there are 12 paying spots on the leaderboard and a top 3/top 5 finish looks attainable. They also have 36% rakeback, which is very nice, if I play enough, the rakeback returns alone could be very profitable.
I probably wouldn't be able to take advantage of the whole $1,000 first deposit bonus but the 21% extra returns it offers is definitely great. According to the room review site Intertops is also organizing races in July, so if this race thing works out well, I can play here in the following months aswell. Total returns of up to 98%, this looks very good, but let's see what other rooms there are...
I found a couple of great offers in the iPoker network aswell!
I know PaddyPower, in addition to poker they are also into sports betting and online casino, I bet there are plenty of players on the site who are ready to gamble. I also like that PaddyPower is present on the Irish and U.K. stock exchange, I don't like to keep my money on no-name, unreliable sites, because if I lose my bankroll, there's not going to be any kind of vacation.
There are 15 paying spots on the PaddyPower race leaderboard, according to the latest update players can expect a 40% raceback, but what's even more important is that apparently players are not putting in huge volume, I have a good chance even if I only join the race now.
The first deposit bonus is even higher than Intertops, it provides 27,2% returns and there is also a good VIP system, I think I could easily reach Level 4 of the system, which would provide additional returns.
The $10,000 Gala Poker exclusive race is also nice, I don't really have a chance to catch the top 5 players on the leaderboard, but a top 10 finish is definitely possible.
According to the room review site, players registered through Rakerace.com will automatically be put on the highest VIP level and will thus receive 36% cashback, which is a great offer! The returns from the first deposit bonus are similar to Intertops, a total of 90% returns can be achieved, which is great.
Hmm, what is this promotion for June 28? €1 drone tournament on Betfair? Thats amazing, I take a lot of photos/videos in my freetime, with this I could make a really cool video about my vacation, imagine the amount of likes I would be getting on Facebook...
But let's see whether the room has any other promotions, I still need to make money for the vacation after all.
They are organizing a $2,500 race in June, the first place prize is $650. As of the latest update players can expect an average raceback of 37%. I really like this race, I think I could easily reach one of the top 5 spots and it looks like people don't grind a lot for the prizes either.
The first deposit bonus equals a 20% return here and if I play a lot I can reach the highest level of the Betfair VIP system, which would provide a 35% return.
To be honest it's quite hard to choose from these four rooms, all of them offer high returns and each of them has it's advantage...Maybe I like Betfair the most, this drone tournament really got in my head and the other promotions in the room are very good aswell...
I have decided, I choose Betfair! If I stick to my bankroll management and don't tilt, I can earn the required money for the vacation in this room and the drone would just be a cherry on top.
If you similar problems to mine while planning your vacation, I advise you check out the rooms that I talked about, all of them provide great value. If you didn't like these rooms, the Rake Race menu and the room review sites will help you find the room best suited for your needs, but the Rakerace.com support team is glad to help also!
See you at the exclusive Sunday tournament!
GL and have a nice weekend!
