Bonus Policy

What is 888poker's Bonus Policy?

1. Subject to 888poker's discretion and the rules set out below, new players may receive a 100% Welcome Bonus of up to $400 in relation to their first deposit to their 888poker account.
   This Welcome Bonus offer will be withdrawn on 15th November 2017. Please find 888poker’s other promotions here.
2. 888poker reserves the right to limit the Welcome Bonus to (i) one bonus per household or (ii) one bonus per computer terminal.
   Where players receive any bonus in currencies other than US Dollars, such bonus amounts shall be given to players based on the US Dollar amount according to the relevant daily exchange rate.
3. The terms "Initial Deposit Welcome Bonus", "First Deposit Bonus", "Match Up Bonus" and "First Time Bonus" all refer to the same Welcome Bonus.

1. To be eligible for any bonus included as part of this special 100% up to $400 Welcome Bonus promotion (the "Promotion"), a player must open a new 888poker account and make a first deposit equal to or greater than the minimum required deposit.
2. The Welcome Bonus will then be remitted to the player's account in $10 increments each time the player has collected 10 Bonus Points per every $1 of the Welcome Bonus. For example: If you make a first deposit of $100, then you will receive your Welcome Bonus in pending installments of $10; each time you generate 100 Bonus Points, $10 will be released into your account up to 100% of your deposit amount = $100
3. Bonus Points enable you to clear any bonuses by wagering. Bonus Points are accumulated only if you have an active bonus.
4. You can earn Bonus Points by:
   • Playing in poker ring games -earn 2 Bonus Points (if applicable) for every $1 of your contributed rake.*
   • Playing poker tournaments -earn 2 Bonus Points (if applicable) for every $1 of tournament fee.
   • Playing casino games (from your poker account) -earn 1 BP (if applicable) for every $10 wagered in the casino.
     
     * Contributed rake refers to how much rake you are directly responsible for based on how much you contributed to the raked pot relative to the other players at the table. Example: If you bet $25 into a $100 pot (25%) and a $4.00 rake is taken from the table, you contributed $1.00 of rake (25%), which earns you 2 Bonus Points (if applicable).
5. The Welcome Bonus shall expire within 90 days of your first deposit.

    • If the bonus (plus any applicable related winnings) in your account is less than the original bonus amount (but greater than zero), you can withdraw your deposit but the amount of the bonus you have lost will be deducted from the deposit amount you can withdraw and the bonus (and any applicable related winnings) will be cancelled.
