Bet Online Poker Offers Tournament Bonus Guarantee

December 8, 2011

Bet Online Poker is one of the only poker sites around that offers players a tournament bonus guarantee. It is literally a bonus that you can specifically use to enter Bet Online Poker’s guaranteed tournaments. To qualify, players must make a minimum deposit of $50. For every $50 deposited, Bet Online will give you 200 Promo Bucks. The maximum amount of Promo Bucks you can earn is 4,000. Deposits made through any method are eligible except for those made through Book-to-Book, which are not.

Promo Bucks are not instantly awarded. Once earned, players must request the Promo Bucks they have coming to them in order for BetOnline Poker to issue them. This is as easy as sending an email that says “Poker promobucks please.” To freeplay@betonline.com, including your username and the amount of your deposit. Promo Bucks will then be issued to your account within a 24-hour period affter receiving your request.

Promo Bucks can then be used to cover the buy-in costs to Bet Online Poker’s guaranteed tournaments. The site offers $150,000 worth of guaranteed tournaments each month. Promo Bucks are not exchangeable for cash.

This is in addition to Bet Online’s regular Lifetime Bonus that promises you a 25% match on each and every reload deposit you make into your BetOnline account as long as you’re a real money player there.

The Lifetime Bonus and the Tournament Bonus Guarantee are just two more of the bonuses at Bet Online that are unlike those offered at almost any other site.

Introducing the Bet Online Poker Pop Points Program

October 17, 2011

Bet Online Poker’s Pop Points loyalty program offers real cash rewards. As with the rewards programs of other poker sites, at BetOnline you earn Pop Points each time you play in a raked hand in a cash game on the site or pay a fee to register for an online tournament. You can then convert these points into cash by using them to register for the $500 POP2Cash tournaments, a weekly event with a guaranteed monthly prize pool of $150,000.

Buy-ins for these POP2Cash tournaments vary from event to event, although at any one you can pay the respective buy-in using cash or promo bucks.

In the meantime, Bet Online also holds special Hit & Run Freeroll tournaments that cost nothing at all to enter, although many of these events do have the option of paying for rebuys and add-ons.

In addition to offering 24/7 online poker action, BetOnline is also a Sportsbook, Racebook and online casino.
When you join BetOnline you will enjoy a Better Bonus Guarantee that promises to either meet or beat the terms of any bonus offer currently out there. This deposit bonus does, however, have a minimum deposit of $100 and a maximum bonus of $900. Members playing or betting on any of BetOnline’s offerings will also enjoy a Guaranteed Lifetime Bonus of 25% free play on all deposits, with only a 10x rollover requirement.

Last week we introduced you to the more than $150,000 in guaranteed tournaments at BetOnline each month an ongoing 25% freeplay tournament bonus guarantee. Today we bring you the POP points program, including the weekly $500 POP2Cash tournaments, and ongoing Hit & Run Freerolls. All told it constitutes several good reasons to give this new player in the online gambling world a look-see.

Safe Online Poker Sites for US Players August 2011

August 1, 2011

Months after Black Friday many poker players in the US are still trying to figure out where and how to play online. While many of the high stakes players have moved outside the US, not everyone can just pick up and leave. Therefore we’ve compiled a list of online poker sites still operating in the US.

At the top of the list is Bodog Poker, which is a well-established name in the US. Bodog recently announced that they will be changing the name of their US facing operations but have no fear the only change will be in the name. They offer players a 110% bonus up to $1100 and run a weekly 100k tournament. Players are stating that they are receiving withdrawal checks in under a week.

Another well-established sports booking site has set its sight’s on the US poker market and that is BetOnline. They’ve been around for over 10 years and have a great reputation. Their poker software is proprietary and they are aggressively marketing to players by offering a 25% up to Unlimited bonus.

Luvin Poker on the Everleaf network is also offering a massive bonus of 200% up to $1000 and the play is super soft. While they don’t boast the number of players that the bigger sites do, they are a great site for the lower stake games. They are also 100% mac compatible.

The Merge Poker network sites are do to reopen to new US players this month. There are two online poker sites on the Merge network that we highly recommend and those are Lock Poker, which has been signing many of today’s top young poker pros, and Carbon Poker, which is the flagship site of the Merge network. Both offer generous bonuses but players claim that cashouts from Lock Poker are slightly quicker then those from Carbon Poker.

Make sure to visit Holdem Poker Chat regularly for updates on the above poker sites as well as all poker news. We’ll continue to update and monitor all US Poker Sites daily so all you have to do is play and win.
