Poker Room.com Bonus and Promotions

One promotion Poker Room has is a Royal Flush bonus. If a player hits a royal flush using at least one hole card, he or she will win a cash prize of 100 times the big blind of the stakes of the game (maximum prize of $5,000). So for a $2-$4 game, the payout would be $200.

Poker Room also has a "player points" freerolls, which are $6,000 and $3,000 freeroll events for players that accumulate a certain number of player points.

Another interesting promotion is their "Grand Tournament," which is a $1,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em event. There is no entry fee to this tournament (Poker Room will not charge an extra fee in addition to the buy-in like most poker rooms do). For most tournaments that have a $1,000 buy-in, the poker room charges about a $60 entry.

As of this writing, Poker Room offers a 40% initial deposit bonus up to $200. Bonuses are released by earning player points. Each dollar requires 7 player points. So, the full amount of $200 would require 1400 player points. Raked hands of $.50 to $.99 earn 0.5 player points each, while each raked hand of $1 or more earns 1 point.
