All online poker sites offer welcome bonuses, also referred to
as sign up bonuses, in order to attract new players. Betfair.com
online poker site goes one step further. It allows players to
select a bonus that matches with their wagering pattern.
Betfair.com also gives new players free entry into an attractive
poker tournament.
There are five bonuses to choose from. The lowest bonus is $50 and the highest bonus is $2,500. Whichever bonus is chosen, the process of claiming the bonus remains the same. Players must register at the Betfair.com online poker site. They must enter the bonus code that corresponds to the selected bonus. Then they must start wagering on any of the real-money poker cash games or tournaments and start earning Player Points. The bonus will be released in increments as players achieve the Player Points targets for the selected bonus. There is a time limit during which the bonus has to be claimed.
The $50 bonus will be released in increments of $5 for every 40 Player Points earned. This means that players must earn 400 Player Points to claim the full bonus. These points must be earned within 90 days. The bonus that cannot be claimed within 90 days will lapse. The terms for the highest bonus of $2,500 are slightly different. The bonus will be released in increments of $500 for every 7,000 Player Points earned. The players must earn 35,000 Player Points to claim the full bonus. These points must be earned within 60 days. If players do not want to wager so much then they should opt for a smaller and more suitable bonus. Players can track the progress of their bonus in the bonus section of the Betfair Players’ Club Area at the online poker site.
Once the new player has wagered on one real money raked hand or entered any real money tournament, he will receive his ticket to the Welcome Freeroll. This poker tournament is held every Thursday at 19:15 hours UK Time. Players do not have to buy in. The Betfair.com online poker site puts up a guaranteed prize pool of $2,500, which is shared by the winners.
