Whats the biggest poker bonus out there?

[DominoD]

Can you post some poker rooms which got big bonuses? Making a list on my site

I think it's pokershare

[SunPoker.com]

Sunpoker.com - $1,000 monthly, $500 no deposit for returning players monthly.

@SunPoker.com, I know this is a little off-topic, but could you explain to me: Why does the $500 "freeload" have higher requirements per $ than the $1000 reload? Why make existing players unnecessarily deposit extra cash, costing you money?
I've never understood why sites put the deposit requirements so high, the Empire reload is a prime example. 25% up to $100 for 1000 raked hands, which can be cleared at 0.05/0.10 limit. So you deposit $400 and rake about $5 for a $100 bonus. The $400 deposit costs Empire about $7.50 right? So not only is empire losing $95 on the bonus, they lose $7.50 on the deposit too. Or do the effects of having a larger bankroll on a site actually cause players to play higher or longer? Has there been research?

The 100% up to $1000 @ Chan is pretty high..

Intertops - 500% up to $10,000

Rakeaway,

There are actually 4 different bonuses at Sunpoker.com during the month for different players. The smallest is a 100% up to $200, the largest being the $1,000.

Thanks, but that had nothing to do with my question
What I meant was: don't you want players to keep playing, but deposit only what is necessary (to keep the costs down)? So why are the ND requirements higher than the D requirements?

That's a good question, and unfortunately, I'm not sure why that decision was made. I will find out the reasoning.
