I made this chart a while ago, but I end up referencing it often and it's been posted in response to a few other posts here, so I thought I might as well make a separate post for it.

SNG Bonus Clearing

All the information below is taken from BonusWhores.com. Check there for more details, and I'd also recommend registering to the sites from the affiliate links on the BW page since some of them require it.

BC = bonus code, d = deposit needed for the maximum bonus. NO MAX means it's X% of whatever you deposit. For instance if you deposit $1000 in BoDog, 10% of that is $100, so your bonus is $100.


100% Tourney Fee returned:
-------------------------------------
BetHoldEm: 50% up to $250 (d - $500)
Bodog: 10% up to X (NO MAX!)
Doyle's Room: 35% up to $150 (d - $400)
Hollywood Poker: 100% up to $200 (bc - BW200)
PokerRoom: 30% up to $200 (d - $700)


70%+ Tourney Fee returned:
-------------------------------------
Eurobet: 100% up to $50 (bc - CLUBS)
Holdem signup: 150% up to $150
Holdem reload: 20% up to $100 (bc - EVENT, d - $500)
Tiger Gaming: 100% up to X (NO MAX!)
Tropical Poker: 100% up to $1000 (bc - MATCH100)
Victor Chandler: 60% up to $600 (bc - VC60, d - $1000)

Victor returns about 83%, the rest return about 70-75%.


Comments

I've only played the competition on BoDog, PokerRoom, Hollywood Poker, and Doyle's Room out of those. (Anyone who has played on the other sites, speak up.)

BoDog has the easiest competition, but has a pretty small bonus. You have to deposit more than $1000 to get any decent sized bonus.

PokerRoom has fairly weak competition and a decent bonus. Same with HollywoodPoker.

Doyle's Room's competition is just as easy as BoDogs. However, the $20+ SNGs often take about 5 minutes to fill up. The lower stakes SNGs fill up at a decent speed still.

I'm currently clearing a bonus on HollywoodPoker, so stay away from my tables

You missed Poker Stars, which was always 100% return until this last bonus, when it dropped down to something like 78%.

I used to have PokerStars on the list, until it dropped down to 50% returned. Now it's not very lucrative. Also, PS currently doesn't have a reload bonus or signup bonus running.

I'll check again at the next bonus. I could have been mistaken.
