Depending on who you talk to in the online poker industry, what you will discover is that poker bonuses can either generate a lot of money for you or they are just clever marketing ploys to get your money without ever really giving you the chance to get some money making done. It really is up to you as to whom you decide to believe along these lines, but the general wisdom is that poker bonuses do have the ability to generate a regular source of income for you if you apply them correctly. The bigger question is therefore not whether poker bonuses can generate an income for you, but rather how much that income can be.

Overall, another point that can generally be agreed upon is that the highest potential for high incomes from poker bonuses has to be the person that decides to play poker full time while at the same time being relatively new to the industry. Because they play poker full time they will spend more time clearing and collecting bonuses and because they are new to the industry they will have all of the best first time deposit bonuses available to them. As far as income generation is concerned, first time deposit bonuses are better than reload bonuses when all other things are equal (i.e. the first time deposit bonus from a poker site will be better than a reload bonus offered from the same site). Therefore, a person new to online poker with the intent of playing full time will have an easier time earning income through just poker bonuses than an online poker veteran that only plays on a part time basis.

If one were to assume that this new player playing full time online poker would attempt to clear all of the first time deposit bonuses available over the course of a single year, one could very easily reach the conclusion that there was more than $100,000 worth of bonuses for them to get in that first year. Factor in the fact that most bonus collectors that are successful at the strategy are at least break-even players and in some cases even marginally winning players and you will see right away that the income earning potential in the first year is huge. However, this is only a theory as in practice many of these bonuses will be hard if not impossible to collect, especially at the smaller table limits that bonus collectors tend to favor. It is more likely that such players could rely on a five-figure income for the first year with proper application of tactics, but where in the five-figure range is really anybodys guess.
