Absolute Poker Referral Code & Bonus
The current, 2010 Absolute Poker bonus is 150% up to $500, plus a ticket for a $1000 freeroll tournament. To get the bonus:
1/ Write down Absolute Poker referral code BONUSEXTRA .
3/ Make your first deposit and enter the referral code when requested.
The Absolute Poker bonus is available to all new players who make a real money deposit after they sign up to play. Being a 150% matching bonus, if you deposit $50, you’ll be able to earn a $75 bonus. If you deposit $334 or more you can get the full $500 bonus. After you make your first deposit, your bonus money will be held in your Bonus Dollars account and released into your player account every time you earn $5 in bonus.
Players have 60 days to earn as much of their bonus as they can. To earn points, play in real money cash games and tournaments. Players earn points faster in cash games (ring games) than they do in tournaments, so it’s a good idea to play more cash games during your first 60 days.
Players at AbsolutePoker need to earn 20 Status Points per dollar in bonus. If you are a serious player you can earn points faster as you move up the FAME status levels. Players begin at the Bronze level, then move up to Silver, Gold, Platinum VIP, and Diamond Elite. At the Diamond Elite level only 17 Status points per dollar of bonus are required.
