Poker Bonus Clearing Calculator

Calculate exactly how many hours and how much rake you need to clear a poker welcome bonus. Pre-filled per room using verified May 2026 terms.

Pre-fills with the verified May 2026 terms. Change anything to model your own scenario.
The amount you plan to deposit.
Most rooms: $5 rake to clear $1 bonus. CoinPoker: $3. Higher number = harder to clear.
Typical NL50: $4 to $8. NL200: $12 to $20. MTT $11: roughly $1 to $2 per tournament.
Set to 0 for no expiry.

Rake-per-hour is an estimate. Most online cash players generate roughly 1 to 2 percent of their bb/100 win-rate-line in rake per 100 hands at typical stakes. The room verdict checks whether you can clear the bonus in the allowed time at your declared pace.

What a welcome bonus actually costs in time

Every clearable poker bonus is rake released in chunks. The room sets two numbers that matter: the match (e.g. 100 percent up to $600) and the clearance rate (e.g. $5 of rake releases $1 of bonus). The clearance rate is the one most players ignore, and it is the one that decides whether the bonus is worth your time.

The calculator pre-fills with verified May 2026 terms for the rooms that publish a clearable poker match. GGPoker, CoinPoker, WPT Global, ACR, KKPoker, PokerStars, and 888poker all have one. Stake Poker and BC.Game do not publish a poker-specific match, so they are not in the dropdown.

Why CoinPoker clears faster

CoinPoker's CoinRewards bonus uses a 3x clearance rate, meaning $3 of fees releases $1 of bonus. That works out to a 33 percent effective rakeback from the bonus alone. Most other rooms clear at 5x ($5 rake per $1 bonus), which is 20 percent. GGPoker's $600 match at the 0.2 ratio (every $5 rake releases $1 bonus) is also 5x in disguise. Higher numbers in the clearance field mean a slower drip.

How to read the verdict

Green means you will clear the bonus in less than half the expiry window at your declared rake-per-hour. Amber means you will clear it but the schedule is tight, miss two weeks and you lose the unreleased portion. Red means the math does not work, you should either deposit less to claim a smaller bonus you can actually clear, or skip the bonus entirely.

The trust-panel link in the result points back to the room's verified bonus source page, so you can confirm the terms have not changed since we audited them on May 13, 2026.
