888 Poker Bonus

Let's start by saying that we offer an enhanced bonus of 100% up to $600 - which is $200 more than regularly advertised. This is obviously nice, especially when you take in account that you can try out 888 Poker for free, with their $8 no deposit bonus that is. This page is dedicated to explain the anatomy of both bonuses, and how you can claim them.

Let's start in the right order, after all this site is named Poker For Free for a reason!

100% up to $600 - First Deposit Bonus

888 Poker claims their bonus being the simplest poker bonus out there, or in their exact words, a bonus which for you won't need any "Pythagoras' Theorem" to understand its composition. The only thing needed to get this bonus is making a deposit, a first deposit that is.

The 888 Poker first deposit bonus concerns an incremental bonus, which releases in $10 pieces for every 100 Bonus Points accumulated.

Bonus Points at 888 Poker are rewarded to you for playing real money poker, be it cash games or tournaments and Sit 'n Gos, it doesn't matter. As a matter of the fact, you will even be able to earn Bonus Points in 888's online casino.

Although Bonus Points are not the same as Reward Points (which we will cover further below), you will earn Reward Points on the side.

For example, if you make a first deposit of $100, you will receive:

• $100 (your deposit)
• $100 bonus paid out in increments of $10 (100% of your $100 deposit)

On top of your first deposit you will also receive seven tickets to enter the $500 First Depositors' Freerolls, as well as one ticket to enter a $1,000 First Depositor Freeroll.

The biggest free gift for new players, however, is a ticket into the $100K First Depositors' Challenge. The top 10 finishers of this tournament get a free seat into the Sunday Challenge starting sundays at 19:35 GMT.

888 Poker Loyalty Program

We briefly mentioned the Reward Points which you will earn next to your Bonus Points, as well as your Status Points. That's right, three different kind of points for different kind of purposes:

• Bonus Points - Points needed to clear your incremental bonus of 100% up to $600.
• Reward Points - Points that can be exchanged for rewards. These points are carried over month after month, meaning the will not expire, unless you won't use your 888 Poker account for the length of three months. Reward Points are comparable to other sites' Frequent Player Points. The higher your level, the more Reward Points you will earn.
• Status Points - Points that determine your level in 888 Poker's loyalty program. These points will reset every first day of a new month, but a status is either fixed for the period of a month, or for a period of a year (VIP and VIP Diamond) after moving up a level.
