I joined betfair poker yesterday and signed up using the 500$ welcome bonus.

I deposited 500$ but it turns out I already had a small amount of money ~30$in my account (from my sports betting acount, I assume). So will betfair now class the money already in the account as my intial deposit and base my bonus off of that amount, or will it be the full 500?

Hopefully that makes sense...

Hey parano1d andro1d,

Your question makes perfect sense.

If this is your first deposit into your poker account (regardless of money in your sportsbook or casino account) then you should be eligible for a first deposit bonus.

Hopefully this helped.

Cool, thanks man.

What do you think of the software parano...you recommend it?

Doesn't look like Parano1d is responding so I thought I'd try help you out a little!

Ongame's software is notoriously heavy and many user's without high-spec machines struggle to play 6+ tables.

This obviously means there are less "nitty grinders" and games are generally a bit softer. If you play 2 - 6 tables you'll likely enjoy a better winrate at OnGame than you would at the vast majority of other sites.

Aesthetically, OnGame's software leaves a lot to be desired. Table seats aren't consistent which I personally find pretty annoying. Check out this coaching video at TowerGaming for a good idea about what the software looks and plays like.

Anyway, to conclude I'd say OnGame is for an acquired taste and is quite far removed from the likes of Stars in quite a few ways.

Hope this helped a little.
