Hey forum,

I'm curious about your opinions by the above question.

I figured I tend to play more or formats I usually don't play just to make use of the promo. It's not always a good trade. 😅
I used to chase them, but then I realized that with these stocks I was losing more and I stopped paying attention to them

There are reasonable and easy actions that are easy to carry out without much bother. but there are just crazy stocks that don't make any sense

Well it depends a lot on the promotion, but I'm not usually influenced, but if I'm very attractive I end up falling

I pay attention to promotions if I see potential for myself. But if it's a promotion like “please spend $100 to get a $20 bonus”,
then such promotions are not for me :)

Shares are evil, I do not recommend participating, it is a scheme to extort money.

I mostly play and usually lose more than I win on the promotion. In our country there is a popular saying "When it's free and vinegar is sweet", so I cursed myself and made a bad result.

This can also be a kind of bait from the poker sites, because if you register on a new site, they give you bonuses. I have registered on a few sites like this before. The advantage is that you at least get to know the different sites, and if you take it seriously, you can achieve success in more than one room.

Sjnos stifles me. But in many cases I win extra dollars with these promotions.

Promos can be tempting, but if they push you into unfamiliar formats, they might not be worth it. Stick to what you're good at.

There's some promotions that get my attention.
I like when 888 gives some Blast tickets by depositing usually $25-30. I withdraw the same amount once I waggered it, and you get those Depositors tickets too.
I also played some unusual formats in order to get some throwables 😅 Worst case scenario, it's like I'm paying just a few bucks to get them. Although last too times I won some cash while I was doing the challenges.

I like the power path promotion on PS, but it's only available at bronze level and below. At silver level, this promotion is no longer available, as well as cardex or the useless "throwable" promotion.
I miss the free power path tickets a little and am thinking about going down to bronze - what if I miss out on winning another gold pass..))

If you are talking about deposit promotion then never.

They influence everyone, one wants to participate in them. But not everyone, of course

No, I am not influenced by poker promotions, but I often look through all possible offers in order to find something useful for myself. I know a player who earns his living through poker promotions. If the promotion will benefit me and I can make money on it, then why not take part in it. But if I understand in advance that there is a very small probability that I will get a benefit after fulfilling the conditions of the promotion, and most likely I will end up in the red, then I do not take part in such promotions. Good promotions, thanks to which you can make money, are rare, and when you are looking for something like this, you need to understand in advance what you are looking for. Well, if your goal is simply to enjoy the game and get interest from participating in promotions, and at the same time do not set yourself the goal of making money, then you can take part in all in a row).

The truth is, yes, I am very interested when there are promotions in some rooms, especially when they are promotions in online casinos.

When someone gives me free money, I usually take it ;) Any kind of free ticket = free money. If it is not the format I usually play, I just play the one for free, it doesn't hurt me at all.
