Cool Huge 900 SavvyPoints Bonus at Mansion - Super Easy to Clear!

We've got a huge promotion going on over at Mansion right now! When you sign up for Mansion through <a href="http://www.pokersavvy.com/r/12988">PokerSavvy</a>, you'll be eligible to earn a huge bonus of 900 SavvyPoints! That's enough SavvyPoints to get you $90 cash, an iPod Shuffle or an all-clay poker chip set - and it's super-easy to clear! Simply deposit at least $50 and generate $20 in rake in the poker room. Due to recent bonus abuse this bonus can no longer be cleared by wagering in the sportsbook or exchange.

Mansion is a new poker room on the online scene. They've been in the casino and sportsbook business for quite some time and are now making a big push for poker players. In addition to our giant SavvyPoints bonus, you will get match bonuses on your first 3 deposits and super-cheap entries into some really cool tournaments.

I can tell you right now, I recently finished this bonus, and it was ridiculously simple to get my SavvyPoints! It only took me about 5 hours playing $.25/.50 No-Limit Hold'em, and while the SavvyPoints bonus was sweet, the action was even sweeter! I practically doubled my bankroll playing there, no joke!

when i signed up it said no sportsbook wagers could be made of US and it either said casino or poker No US also. I cant remember which one. But the exchange is fine for US. I would say for anyone doing this promo. the exchange 50.00 bet is the way to go. I mean you make 40.00 profit doing this no matter what and if you win the bet, you profit 140.00

I already have a Mansion sportsbook acct. Does that mean I am not eligible for the poker acct? No funds in the sportsbook acct at present.

UWBadgers, the official word from the Mansion website says that residents of the United States are not allowed to place wagers in the sportsbook at this time. Americans can still do this bonus playing poker, or by wagering in the player-to-player exchange.

ronaldn, if you already have an account at Mansion, even if you've only used the sportsbook, then you will not be eligible for the SavvyPoints promotion. You must be creating a new account to earn SavvyPoints at any of our partners. We do offer a bunch of other sites you can do poker bonuses at, so I hope you can find one you haven't played at!

Awesome promo. Love your site Mike.

I play low blinds myself and I was wondering if you know what bonus is easiest to clear after the Mansion one for a player like me?

Cool

Abuigi, thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it!

To tell you the truth I am trying to figure that out for myself right now. I haven't played on most of the sites that PokerSavvy offers bonuses at, so I'm working on this little project where I take a really small bankroll, and turn it into a pretty decent bankroll, with the help of SavvyPoints bonuses, of course.

The first and only promo I have completed so far is the Mansion deal, I cleared it playing in their poker room, and I'm very pleased with how it turned out. The bonus itself was a breeze to clear, only had to play about 5 hours or so, but for me that was a small incentive compared to what I was able to earn at the tables. They really do have some crazy guys playing there at Mansion, making some really questionable plays and tossing their money around. I made more money off of the other players than I did from clearing the bonus at PokerSavvy, that's for sure!

Anyways, back to your question...

I personally am looking forward to doing the PokerRewards, Absolute, and Gaming Club SavvyPoints bonuses. The requirements to clear these bonuses really fit my style. To clear the bonuses at these sites you have to play a certain amount of raked hands, and at each of these sites you are credited for a raked hand so long as you were dealt cards. That means you can fold without putting in a dime, and if the pot ends up being raked for $0.25 or more, you move one step closer to clearing the bonus.

I've already started playing at PokerRewards, thanks to a little help from a prize I had won there by cashing in at a PokerSavvy freeroll tournament we hosted there a few weeks ago. I also made the decision to start there because it supports Poker Tracker, which I just bought with the SavvyPoints I earned for clearing the Mansion bonus.

I'd have to say that other than those, Full Tilt, Poker.com and Bodog are all really popular bonuses for people playing from within the United States. For international players, Costa del Poker is a huge opportunity worth 4,000 SavvyPoints. Pacific Poker, VIP.com Poker, Titan Poker, and CD Poker each offer fairly sizable SavvyPoints pay-outs as well, so those are always worth considering.

Don't forget that we're always looking to add new SavvyPoints bonuses, so keep your eyes peeled for new bonuses!

there is no reason not to sign up for mansion through savvy. I did it and im getting 90 dollars sent to my neteller account. Along with that my 50 dollar bet that i made with the exchange won, so then i had about 95 in my account. Since that first bet ive been using that 95 as a seperate bankroll and betting with it and gotten it up to 175, so this was definitely worth it.

i was about to do the mansion poker deal, until they said that when u withdraw, u have to show ID anda bunch of stuff, i dont have a scanner and dont knowhow i would go about doing that, so i am stayin away for now, itis also laughable that they want to verify your id when u withdraw, not when u deposit, its like theyare saying, if you are underage, were gonna let u gambleitup, but when u go to cash out, we will take all that money back.
wouldnt it make sense for them to ask for id BEFOREletting you deposit money?

i've been saying this since the first time i heard about this.. i have complained to most the books that do it and if you talk to the right person you can usually be alright.. but.. with mansion i backed off since they make you agree with the checkbox..

for me.. i dont care anymore because if i win in the sportsbook i am going to arb it out.. if i lose.. i still make $40. so just deposit.. play in the sportsbook and if you win.. ask armyvet about arbing if you dont know.. and if you lose.. well.. you still made $40.

office here has a scanner on the printer, but if ya got a digital camera handy, snap a shot, hook that son of a bitch up to your computer and save it as a picture.

for future references, if they ask you to sign something and ya don't want to use a scanner, take the file and copy into a paint or photoshop program and sign your name with the paint pencil, save it as a jpg, then use pdf creator to make it look like you scanned the image.

if anyone doesn't use pdf creator, it's a must.

WHen I cashed out of mansion before they did not ask for documentation or any of that stuff. And I did the 1100 promo so I cashed out 2100 there. But I did dep. and withdrawl through neteller so maybe that is why.

In my own experience I made a copy of the ID, faxed it in and was approved within a day. I really don't think Mansion does this for any sketchy reasons - I think they're trying to protect your security. I agree it would make sense to do it at deposit but I think in reality that would really hurt their business as people wouldn't want to wait to play.
