Your Money is Safe at Expekt.com

As we mentioned earlier in this post Expekt.com has been around forever and they have a clean track record over all this time when it comes to paying customers on time so you never have to worry about not getting paid after going on a winning streak.

In late 2008 the new addition to the Cake Network CardSpike Poker opened their doors to the public.

To indroduce themselves at the already crowded online poker marketing they decided to offer a great $500 bonus to all new players that use the CardSpike Poker bonus code PBS500 after they have made their first deposit. Once this bonus code has been entered you will instantly be awared the free bonus to your pending bonus account where it will held untill you start playing for real money to clear the bonus.

How the CardSpike bonus is cleared

Once the $500 bonus is in your pending bonus account you will need to start playing poker at the real money tables in order to clear the bonus and release it to your real money account. For every 167 player points that you earn at the cash game tables, in Sit and Go’s or in poker tournaments you will release $10 of the bonus to your account. It is really great with a bonus that is released in increments instead of having the full bonus released in a lump sum. When a bonus is released in a lump sum there is a big chance that you will not be able to clear the full bonus before the time period for the bonus is up. But with the bonus system at CardSpike you never have to worry about that since the bonus is released in $10 increments.

How to earn player points at CardSpike.com

When you are playing at the cash game tables at CardSpike you will be earning 1 player point for every dollar that is taken in rake in the pots where you participate, this means that you will be able to earn as many as 3 points in every single hand you play. Should the rake at the table be $0.50 for example you will be awared 0.5 player points so this is a very fair bonus system even for the low limit players.

When playing in tournaments at CardSpike you will also be able to earn player points to clear your bonus. For every $1 that is taken in tournament fees you will be awarded with 7 player points. So if you buy in to a tournament with a buy in of $50+4 you will earn 28 points from this tournament alone.

As you can see you will be able to earn the player points at a really fast rate when playing at CardSpike Poker which means that you will be able to clear the full bonus amount in no time if you are playing a couple of hours a week.

Where to enter the bonus code at CardSpike Poker

Usually when you sign up for a poker bonus at a regular poker room you enter the bonus code when making your first deposit. the system at CardSpike is a bit different however. After you have made your first deposit you need to enter the CardSpike bonus code in order to claim your bonus. If you forget to do so your bonus will not be activated and you will earn player points for nothing.

This is what you need to do in order to activate your bonus at CardSpike:

• Open the CardSpike Poker client and log in
• If you have yet to make a deposit you need to make one now
• Click the tab called “Rewards” in the poker lobby
• Click on the tab “Deposit Bonus” in the “Rewards” section
• Enter the bonus code PBS500 in the field for the poker bonus code and click submit

In order to clear this bonus you will need to generate 10 player points in order to release $1 of your bonus. This means that you will need to genereate 500 player points in order to clear the full $50 bonus. Once you have reached the 500 player points the bonus is instantly transfered to your real money account and you can wither withdraw it or add it to your bankroll.

How to earn player points at PokerStars

Every time that you playat the real money tables at PokerStars you will be earning player points which will be counted towards clearing your bonus. Once the rake has reached $0.40 on one of your cash game tables you will be awarded with one player point, so in a way you could say that what it takes to clear the full bonus is 500 raked hands.

If you are a SNG or tournament player you will earn points at a faster rate though. For every dollar that you pay in tournament fees at PokerStars.com you will be awarded with 5 player points. So once you have paid $100 in tournament fees you will get a bonus of $50 credited to your account. This means that the $50 bonus can be compared to a 50% rakeback deal for tournament players.
