Four ways to Qualify

Freeroll Qualifiers

Rakeback For USA Players

admin — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 14:17:04 +0000

If you play poker from the United States, you may be aware that you cannot play online poker “legally” from within the United States at present, therefore most European poker sites and also those which are listed companies will not permit US Players to deposit and play on their poker sites.

All is not lost however, some of the top online poker sites do allow Americans to play, and they offer rakeback or rakeback equivalent poker VIP schemes. Our guide below will help you find the best USA friendly poker rooms and rakeback / loyaty deals & deposit bonuses to maximise your bang for your buck.

PokerStars (PokerStars VIP Club)

PokerStars is the biggest online poker site in the world, and home of the famous “Sunday Million” tournament (which runs each week with in excess of $1.5M in prizes). PokerStars offers the biggest game variety, some of the largest poker tourneys and some of the sickest promotions as well as offering a loyalty program which entices so many great players to get to Supernova or Supernova Elite status where the benefits and value are massive.

PokerStars offers $600 deposit bonus, and all players are automatically part of the VIP program when they create an account. Check out our PokerStars VIP Club / Rakeback Equivalent review.

Full Tilt Poker (27% Rakeback)

Full Tilt Poker is second to PokerStars online in size (FTP is the second largest online poker room). Full-Tilt offers 27% Rakeback as well as a $600 deposit bonus for new depositors (you must create your account via a rakeback/poker loyalty site such as this to get rakeback).

FTP is host to some of the biggest names in poker, (durrrr, Ivey etc) as well as some of the highest nosebleed poker games in the world (with $500/$1000 cash games running, with hundreds of railbirds and 100k pots seemingly every 2 minutes!). The site boasts a massive number of 45/90 player SNGS, bucketloads of poker tournaments and satellites (and the famous online FTOPS series taking place a few times during the year).

Simply put – you need FullTilt if you play online – the site always offers something unique (such as “Rush Poker”), and offers serious value back to players who join through rake360, with 27% FullTilt Rakeback and a $600 deposit bonus.

Cereus (UB and Absolute Poker) 30% Rakeback

Both UB and Absolute Poker are skins on the same poker network, both offering 20% rakeback. We suggest having a look at both sites but only creating an account on one. The Cereus network boasts some big Sunday tournaments, WSOP Steps and other promotions to keep things interesting for tournament players. Cash-game players can find all of the usual poker games running on Cereus from small stakes to high-stakes.

Merge Rakeback

The US Friendly Merge Poker Network has recently undergone a large merger with some other poker sites, which means a lot more traffic has arrived and promotions are running on the network. Skins on the network offer 30% Rakeback, and include BigBet Poker, PokerNordica, Reefer Poker and Spin32 Poker

This latest version of the Point Race allows players to take a Poker Side Bet on their own results.

Commented Alison Greg, RedKings.com VIP Promotions Manager “ Each new Points race we add something different and challenging for the players , this time we have a new lower level for the smaller players so that they can participate at just 25 RedKings player points a day and Side Bets so that players can bet on themselves making the daily requirement. I think this is the first time in Online Poker history there are Side bets in a points race “

This new Online Poker Points Race called ‘Point per Day 5 differs in that there are now 4 levels where players decide on how many RedKings player points they can get every day of the race which runs for 28 days. Each day the requirement is met earns 1 race point and players can boost their prizes by achieving more than the requirement level chosen. All prizes are in cash and it is expected that over 2000 players will participate. Payouts over the last four races has seen an average of 1200 players been paid out each time.

Commented Greg “Unlike normal Poker Rake Races we ensure that the maximum numbers of players win. This is not just for the top big rakers , it’s for players of all sizes. The Point per Day concept is all about consistency and the only person players compete against is themselves, they don’t have to worry about the other guy”

What make these RedKings Points Races so popular are their innovative format and the fact that the winnings are all on top of any bonuses or VIP valueback the players may be taking up at the time.

Starting on the 16th March and running through to 13th April Online poker players will be able to check their leaderboard standings daily at the RedKings.com website.
