  • 50% is released through casino play, at a rate of $1 bonus for every $300 wagered

You have 30 days to clear the bonus. Any bonus funds not released after the 30 days are forfeited.

One bonus is limited to one person per household or device.

Poker Rewards Program with Up To 40% Rakeback for Cash Game Table Starters

As part of the Poker Rewards Program, the first two players to sit down at an empty NLHE, PLO, PLO5, Short Deck cash table will receive rakeback after playing at that table.

Rakeback = 40% if you start a game at the tables:

• NL $25/50/100

• NL ¥100/200/400 ($14/28/56)

• PL $25/50

• Short Deck A¥200 (A$27)

Rakeback = 20% at all other limits.

The entire time spent at the table counts, including 5-minute breaks. If a player leaves the table and then returns, rakeback will no longer be credited. If the player who started the game empties his stack and then re-buys, the rakeback will remain.

Rakeback is paid on Mondays at 13:00 UTC.

  • Every day from 06:00 to 08:00 UTC “happy hour”: points are multiplied by x1.5.
  • Information about all leaderboards was collected in one table. For details of prize distribution, look at the client in the tab with the certain discipline.
