New Betfair Casino Bonus
You need to fullfil the wagering requirements (25x) in order to be able to cash out the bonus.
To get the maximum possible value out of this sign up for a Betfair Sportsbook account through my code to get £20 for free.Then you can transfer some funds to the Casino and do the Casino bonus.
Instructions for signing up at Betfair are here
I just finished the bonus. Transferred €80 to the Casino and got my free €80 within one minute. I kept track of the bonus manually but at some point I got a popup saying my requirements are cleared. It's cool cause i thought I still had a little further to go. Went on a pretty lucky run at European Blackjack in the end and managed to cah out €205. Not a fortune but it was fun and the free money is always welcome...
I think you can cash put your initial deposit in case you don't win but I'm not sure.
They also sent me this mail:
Further to your query below, if the bonus funds are lost, you can withdraw your funds from your casino account.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further enquiries.
Kind regards,

Best free money offers
It is therefore usefull to keep an eye on this section as old offers dissapear and new offers come to the surface.
Why do sites hand out free money?
The reason for giving away money is obviously to attract more customers. Poker sites "earn" money in the form of rake whenever you play online. The more you play, the more they earn. Therefore, they know that if they can keep you as a player long enough, it is worth the initial investment of giving you a small bankroll to start with.
To get the free money you will pass through one of the biggest and most trustworthy affiliate in the Poker industry today that are known for having the best offers available.
No deposit offers:

4. Other free money offers
Various Poker rooms give away small amounts of money to encourage customers to open an account with them and try out their software. There used to be many rooms giving small amounts of money to new customers but most have discontinued their service.
On Poker770 you get $7.70 for free just for opening an account.
Just open an account an write an email containing your login and code "bonpok" to promotions@poker770.com. On top of the free money you will receive freeroll entries with the possibility to win up to $2000 in prizepools. Aditionally, Poker770 will credit your account with a first deposit bonus.
To sign up and for more information click here.
Make sure to have a look at the deposit bonus section where you will find the best value deals.
Best Poker Bonusses
The reason that these offers are of better value than what you get when you sign up for a site directly is because here you will go through an affiliate.
An affiliate is a site that promotes Poker rooms and gets paid by the Pokerroom for every customer that the affiliate site brings them. Therefore, by going through an affiliate you will earn 2 bonusses for every site you subscribe to, one from the affiliate and one from the poker site.
The main affiliate endorsed by Fish'N'Chips is PSO.
They are the biggest and most trustworthy affiliate in the Poker industry today and are known for having the best offers available. This list will give an overview of the PSO offers first and the other most interesting offers in second place.
General remarks:
- Always clear your cookies before you navigate to a new site and sign up (if you don't do this and if you have ever navigated to the pokersite before it is possible that the affilite will not track you correctly)
- If you have any problems with any of the offers or if you need assistance towards PSO or the pokersite itself feel free to contact me at any time at nardo11@gmail.com
The very first thing you need to do:
Signing up for a PSO account
- Navigate to PSO (click here)

PSO bonusses
This is an overview of the best value bonusses that are available at PSO for the moment. For each bonus I will indicate what the total value and what the requirements are. This is dependant on the stakes you play and whether you play shorthanded or Full Ring. Some bonusses can also be cleared by playing SNG's or MTT's and this will also be indicated. The higher up in the list a bonus is, the more value it has. I would therefore suggest to start with the bonusses on top of the list.
note: PSO will pay you in PSO points. 1000 points are equivalent of $10 and can be spent on gift certificates or other things in the PSO store. The optimum deposit stated is the MINIMUM deposit neccessary to get the maximum bonus amount.
1. Full Tilt Poker
Value: $120 (PSO) + $15 (Full Tilt) = $135
Suggested limits: any limit
Optimal deposit: $150
Requirements: 250 Full Tilt points
Comments: Arguably the easiest bonus, clearable in a few hours time
2. Party Poker
value: $120 (PSO) + $100 (Party) = $220
Suggested limits: any limit
Optimal deposit: $500
Requirements: 250 raked hands
Comments: What makes this bonus so easy and almost risk free is that the raked hands can be accumulated at micro limits
3. Wingows Poker
Bonus value: $90 (PSO) + $10 (Wingows) = $100
Suggested limits: NL25 and up, $1/$2 FL and up
Optimal deposit: $100
Requirements: 100 Raked hands
Comments: One of the easiest promos. Only 100 dealt raked hands (minimum pot $10) required. It's a new promo and the requirements might go up in the future so be quick.
4. Bodog Poker
Bonus value: $90 (PSO) + $50 (Bodog) = $140
Suggested limits: any limit
Optimal deposit: $500 Requirements: 200 Bodog points
Comments: You get 50 Bodog points to start with so you only need to earn an additional 150 points. The $50 bonus is paid upfront and tournaments also count towards clearing the bonus.
5. Poker Room
Bonus value: $120 (PSO) + $40 (Pokerroom) = $160
Suggested limits: any limit
Optimal deposit: $100
Requirements: 400 points Comments: SNG's and tournaments count towards clearing the bonus. Additionally you will be credited free entry tickets for some restricted tournaments.
6. Carbon Poker
Bonus value: $120 (PSO) + $10 (Carbonpoker) = $130
Suggested limits: 50NL or higher (or 0.25/0.50 limit)
Optimal deposit: $100
Requirements: 4500 comp points
Comments: If you have a Poker.com account is has to have been inactive for 6 months before you can sign up for Carbon Poker. Clears well on low limits. Additionally, upon signing up you will receive a free ticket for a $10K tournament and a ticket for an initial depositors freeroll. You get $10 from Carbon per 2500 points. So if you make an extra 500 (5000 in total) you will get $20 instead of only $10.
7. Ultimate Bet
value: $120 (PSO) + $50 (Ultimate Bet) = $170
Suggested limits: any limit
Optimal deposit: $100
Requirements: 500 points
Comments: Hard to clear on the lower limits
8. Pokerstars
Bonus value: $120 (PSO) + $25 (Pokerstars) = $145
Suggested limits: any limit
Optimal deposit: $50 Requirements: 250 FPP's
Comments: Tournaments and SNG's count towards clearing the bonus
Boogster bonusses
Boogster is another high quality affiliate site. Personally I prefer PSO as an affiliate (as the rewards are generally higher) but Boogster has some Poker (and Casino) bonusses of very high quality for rooms that you can't find at another affiliate site. Also, offers change monthly so keep an eye on them.

Free hour of play on Casino Classic
"No Risk Casino Play! Play at Casino Classic with NO RISK to your personal funds!That's right, play any game with €500 totally free and whatever you win in your first 60 minutes is yours to keep!"
There are a few things to keep in mind: The maximum you are allowed to win is €200. In other words, there is no point in going above €700.
Also, the winnings will be transferred to your real money account. In order to cash out any of your winnings you'll have to deposit €20 and fullfill these wagering requirements:
Then its €20 + max€200 x 15 (for slots,PG), x30 (for VP), x60(for BJ) wr.
So, it's really hard to actually end up with winnings but if you enjoy playing the Casino for free for an hour go ahead...

Poker Books: Review
is a question that comes up regularly in discussions with fellow poker players.
Regardless of your skill level and the types of games you like to play, there are good books out there for you to work on the general approach and strategy of your game.
Yet, I always tend to warn players that get overmotivated to read a lot. It is important to understand that every player has his own style and that this is the basis of your game (which you should feel comfortable with). Taking the wrong approach towards the material you read can infact harm you play. In other words, using the information you find in books in the wrong way can be bad for your game.
Before starting to read up on advanced concepts, you should be aware of what kind of player you are. In Poker, more than any other sport I know, the first step to success is self knowledge. Knowing yourself and realising how others might view you will give you a big edge on your competition. Know your strengths and weaknesses, and you can use them to your advantage.
Only as you do know yourself can your brain serve you as a sharp and efficient tool. Know your own failings, passions, and prejudices so you can separate them from what you see.
I've always been hesitant to read certain books because of the effects they could have on my "natural game". I'm not a big fan of telling people how to do something. You need to be able to think on your own and try out certain things in order to become good. Instead of telling someone how to do something, try making him think about what he wants to achieve and often he will surprise you with his ingenuity and not only him but you too can learn something from it. The beautiful thing about Poker is that there is not one single truth or one single successfull strategy. Adapting to the game is the key to success.
On the other hand, use the wealth of information you can find in the books out there wisely, and it can be an enormous enrichment for your game and overall skill level. After all, people seldom improve when they have no other model but themselves to copy.
That being said, I will progressively post a list of books and articles that are of great importance and value in my opinion. Don't expect to read a book and instantly turn into a great player though. At the end of the day, experience counts for a lot. "years teach us more than books"
