Looking at the Online Poker welcome bonus for poker specifically. The wagering requirement to clear it through poker rake is significant — you need to generate a lot of rake before the bonus unlocks. Is it actually clearable for a recreational player doing 5 to 10 hours a week?

For a recreational player who plays 5 hours a week, Online Poker is probably a better choice than PokerStars. The games are softer, the atmosphere is less intimidating for casual players, and you are less likely to sit down at a table full of regulars running solvers.

Online Poker banned HUDs completely. If you rely on tracking software you need to be aware of this before joining. Some players see it as a negative but it genuinely levels the playing field — experienced regs cannot exploit recreational players as easily without real time stats.

Clearing a poker welcome bonus while playing profitably is extremely difficult at most stakes. The rake requirement to unlock the bonus will cost you more than the bonus is worth unless you are a high volume winning player. For recreational players, ignore the bonus and just play where the games suit you.

Traffic at Online Poker is best on weekend evenings — 8pm to midnight. Weekday daytime is thin for cash games at most stakes below 50nl. For tournaments there is usually something running at any hour but field sizes vary enormously.
