Absolute Poker Bonus
- 150% Bonus up to a maximum of $500
- Absolute Bonus Code: FISH500
All new players making their first deposit at Absolute poker is getting a 150% match up to $500. Your bonus will be released in $5 increments and is pretty easy to earn. As a bronze member you will earn $1 for every 16 points you earn and if you are at the top of the food chain as a Diamond Elite member, you will earn $1 for every 70 points. Now while this seems absurd, having to earn less points as a lower member than a higher member, we would like you to keep in mind that you have a higher multiplier as a Diamond Elite member. So you will still earn points faster than those below you. If you were to break it down, the Diamond Elite member only has to earn 14 points for every $1 of their bonus. Ring games will earn you points at the rate of 1 point for 30 raked hands at low stakes and at higher stakes you can earn as high as 2 points per hand.
Value and more value. That is what is offered to all of the players that sign up at Absolute Poker. They provide a great poker room and incentives to all of their players. Do not miss out on this great room and go take advantage of their deposit bonus of up to $500. Go play at Absolute Poker today!
Promotions
Want to know how to win $10 million? For starters, you can take part in Absolute Poker’s $0.10/10 Step program. Play through 10 of these tournaments and win a seat to the WSOP Main Event in 2009. For those of you that do not know what a step program is, it is simply a tourney designed to give players multiple chances at winning the prize versus busting out a tournament. For example lets say that you bought into Step 1 for $0.10. If you won the tournament out of 10 players, you would be awarded a seat to Step 2. Now if you win Step 2, you will move on to Step 3 and if you come in 2nd place in Step 2, you get to try that Step again. If you come in 3rd you move down a step. Really easy and a great value. If you have more than $0.10 and want to skip steps and start higher, you can do that as well. An awesome promotion for this year is if you go to the WSOP and wear Absolute Poker’s clothing and win the WSOP Main Event, you will be awarded $10 million dollars from Absolute. And that is on top of the expected $10 million 1st place prize.

Customer Support
Poker Stars like a few other large poker rooms only offer email support, but the support is the best around and very fast to respond. It took them no longer then 90 minutes to contact me when I tested out the email support not long ago.
