    O co chodzi z kontem bonusowym? W kasynie masz dwa miejsca, w których przechowujesz swoje pieniądze. Jedno konto, do którego trafiają środki, które sam wpłacasz. Tutaj możliwości wpłaty i wypłaty są nieograniczone. Jest też drugie – bonusowe. Tam znajdują się środki, które dostałeś od kasyna z tytułu odebrania bonusu. Nie możesz samodzielnie wpłacić środków na konto bonusowe. Nie możesz ich również wypłacić ale możesz za nie zagrać. W kasynie PlayAmo, znajdziemy ofertę podwojenia swojej pierwszej wpłaty — do kwoty 1500 zł. Dodatkowo nasze konto zasili aż 150 darmowych spinów. Większość wpłat 1zł kasyno ma dość duży wybór producentów. Indywidualne ograniczenia mogą dotyczyć tylko salonów live dealer. Podział stołów ze względu na limit jest zrobiony z myślą o samych użytkownikach – gracze, których interesuje kasyno depozyt od 1zł mogą czuć się nieswojo w pokoju, gdzie przyszli grać high rollerzy.

    Zakłady na gry karciane u legalnych bukmacherów są całkowicie zgodne z prawem. To oczywiście nie jest to samo, co prawdziwa gra w pokera, jednak też dostarcza graczom wielu emocji. Dopóki poker online w Polsce pozostaje nielegalny, tego rodzaju symulacje są jedyną sensowną alternatywą. Ostatnio wśród typerów popularny jest Poker w STS. W dziale Betgames można spotkać trzy rodzaje rozgrywek, ale to właśnie Texas Holdem cieszy się największym zainteresowaniem. I wcale nie przez to, że można spotkać w nim panie krupierki o czarującym „uśmiechu”. skoro to platformersi zamietli całego pokera w Polsce o czym wielokrotnie nawet tu pisano , jakim neonieukiem trzeba być by tego nie zrozumieć. Gardzę pisem tak samo jak platformą a paradoksem mogłoby być to że rozdawnictwo pisu popchnie ich do legalizacji pokera by zasypywać dziury budżetowe czego graczom pokera życzę
