Sign Up Bonuses Can Help Your Bankroll
November 12th, 2009 poker
When you decide to make the switch and play online poker for real money, you want to make sure that you maximize your initial investment in the game. Poker rooms such as UltimateBet offer incentives for players to make the switch from the free poker games in the form of sign-up bonuses that can offer over 100% in extra money for a player’s bankroll. You’ll want to make sure you read the terms and conditions of any sign-up bonus program: many do not allow you to immediately begin to earn those extra dollars.
UltimateBet’s bonus of 111% allows players to get up to $1100 in their bankroll once they’ve met the terms and conditions of the program. In the case of both UltimateBet and its CEREUS network counterpart Absolute Poker, poker bonus dollars are converted based on your level inside of their loyalty program and how frequently you bet. This sounds complex, but it’s not: the more you play, the faster you’ll earn those extra bucks!
Here’s how UltimateBet’s Status Points convert to bonus dollars as you play. It’s all based on which tier of their RAI$E loyalty program you are in:
MEMBER - 20 Status Points = $1 Bonus Dollar
PLAYER - 20 Status Points = $1 Bonus Dollar
CONTENDER - 20 Status Points = $1 Bonus Dollar
LEGEND - 18 Status Points = $1 Bonus Dollar
ICON - 17 Status Points = $1 Bonus Dollar
Bonus dollars from UltimateBet are paid out in $5 increments and any pending BONUS Dollars expire 60 days from the date of issue and will be forfeited if not released within this period. It’s how UltimateBet ensures that you use the money you’ve been given at their tables. If you get more than one bonus, you’ll want to make sure that you you’re your earlier bonus before being able to release the second bonus. The original 60-day expiry dates will remain intact.
If you want more details about how sign-up bonuses work on any poker site, visit their promotions section. The UltimateBet bonus is written a bit more clearly than most, but every online poker room will have a customer support department that can break things down for you if you have any questions.
