Refer A Friend Bonus Guide

The success of a poker website is measured by its player traffic and the number of players swarming the site’s poker tables at any given point of time in the day. Online poker is extremely popular today and players will find a new poker website launching almost every week. People are also open to spending more money in poker websites online and playing poker with friends is probably one of the best ways to enjoy the game. As a result many poker sites offer refer-a-friend bonuses in an effort to increase player traffic. Online poker tournaments are also a great way for players to team up with their friends and participate to win huge jackpots and also have loads of fun.

How Refer-a-friend Poker Bonuses Work

Most websites offer referral bonuses to both the player who makes the referral and his friend. This way both parties can make money off the deal. The friend who signs up at the site also benefits by way of the sign up bonus and other deposit bonuses. This is the model followed by many poker websites including the popular Full Tilt Poker. Full Tilt Poker will give $100 to every player who invites a friend to join the website and another $100 to the invited friend as well. There is virtually no limit to the amount of money that can be earned through this route and it is a great way to supplement a players’ bankroll. However, Full Tilt Poker does prescribe a few conditions that must be satisfied before the entire amount of the bonus will be credited to the players’ accounts. The referral bonus is released on a 4 tier basis, every time the new player accumulates an incremental 500 Full Tilt Poker points at the site. Friends who participate in the Rush Poker ring games at the site will accumulate points at faster rate than those who participate in the regular Sit and Gos and other Multi-Table events.

Party Poker also offers a $100 referral bonus to both players and their referred friends. The Bonus Code that must be used to claim this money is ‘TAFPOKER’. Any number of friends can be invited under this offer. In order to claim the bonus, the new player must open a real money account and make the prescribed minimum deposit within the time limit mentioned as per the bonus code terms is within a 60 day period. The bonus is released in a total of 10 slabs of $10 each with every 6 points accumulated by the friend accounting for $1.

Titan Poker has an interesting twist to the regular referral program. The $100 referral bonus is released as soon as the new player opens a real money account and deposits the minimum prescribed amount and accumulates 100 points. 50% of the bonus will be credited as cash bonus and the rest as a ‘pending bonus’. This amount will go up to $75 when a player has successfully claimed referral bonuses from inviting more than 5 contacts.

Every poker website has its own set of rules and regulations which needs to be reviewed thoroughly before an informed decision is taken. Again before players make referrals they need to ensure that the email address mentioned is correct and that their friends are not current or previous account holders at the site.
