Spotting Your Bonus

Poker Bonuses gives you access to the best offers available across the major online poker rooms. However, the best bonuses in the world are worthless unless you know how to spot your money in the online poker room’s interface. Sounds like a task, doesn’t it? Luckily, we have you covered. We’ve gone through the major online poker rooms and done all of the leg work for you. When you’re finished reading this guide, spotting your bonus and determining what it takes to clear it will be easy as cake.

Absolute Poker

The only way to find out how much bonus you have on Absolute Poker is by going through the online poker room’s website. Under the “Money and Rewards” tab, both the amount of bonus dollars you have as well as the number of points required to release $5 worth of your bonus is given. Absolute Poker has literally done the work for you. If you’re looking for your FAME status, it’s given on this screen as well:

PokerRoom

Like Absolute Poker, you’re required to log in through PokerRoom’s website in order to determine how many pending bonus dollars you have. Just look at the bottom of the screen for the section marked “Bonuses.” Your active bonuses, their values, expiration dates, and what’s needed to clear them are all given in one easy-to-read place. The fact that the expiration date of each pending bonus is displayed is extremely helpful for you bonus hunters out there. Here’s a look at the screen shot for PokerRoom:

Party Poker

In order to see the bonus details for Party Poker, log in through the poker room’s website and click in “Balances and Bonuses.” Your total real money balance includes any bonus dollars, which gives you an accurate look at your bankroll. You can also check out the details of each “cashout restricted bonus,” “release restricted bonus,” and “refer-a-friend” bonus you have coming your way. Party Poker gives the most comprehensive breakdown of what’s needed in order to clear your bonus, so you can be rest assured that, when you receive any bonus from Party Poker, you’ll know exactly what it takes to clear it. The top screen shows the main account details for each Party Poker user. The bottom screen shows you what’s in the Bonus Details screen:

Full Tilt Poker

Within the Full Tilt Poker software, you’ll find all of the bonus information displayed in the Cashier. Just select “Bonus Account,” which is one of the options given underneath “Make a Deposit”:

Once you click “Bonus Account,” you’ll find each pending bonus that you have, when they expire, how they’re released, and the amount you’ve earned so far. It’s displayed right in your Full Tilt Poker software:

Ultimate Bet

Just like on Full Tilt Poker, bonus information on Ultimate Bet can be found in the Cashier. Your pending bonus along with the number of Ultimate Points in the account are given in the main Cashier screen, meaning you don’t have to hunt to figure out how much bonus money you have coming your way. Your Rai$e status is also displayed, which helps you rack up Ultimate Points at a faster rate, releasing your bonus faster.

PokerStars

On PokerStars, bonus information is only displayed when a person has a pending bonus in their account. Under the “Real Money” section, you’ll find a “Bonus” line item given. The number of Frequent Player Points (or FPPs) you have can be found by looking below the “Play Money” section. Just visit the Cashier within the PokerStars software.
