Signing up to an online poker room always carries special benefits for new players. Not all poker rooms offer similarly great value though, and when it comes to great value, 888 Poker is hard to beat. All players have to do to become eligible for 888 Poker’s sign-up bonus is to access the website, and to download the free software.

Once installed, one has open a new account (only new accounts and first ever deposits are eligible for the 888 Poker sign-up bonus), and make a deposit. Once the deposit has been made, 888 Poker will match it 100%, up to a maximum of $400+$10. That means that in order to squeeze the most juice out of your sign-up bonus, you should deposit exactly $400. In most poker rooms, following the deposit, the bonus money is transferred into players’ bonus accounts. In order to have the bonus transferred to their real money accounts, players need to unlock/redeem it by collecting poker points through real money cash and tournament play. That’s not exactly the case at 888 Poker though. Here, 25% of the sign-up bonus lands in players’ real money accounts straight away. That’s right, they’ll be able to take that money to the tables and wager it straight away.

The remaining 75% of the bonus needs to be unlocked the old fashioned way though. In order to unlock your 888 Poker bonus, you need to generate BPs by playing real money cash games and by generating rake there, or by paying tournament fees. The good news is, you only need to generate 10BPs for every dollar of your 888 Poker bonus. What’s even better: as you generate BPs, you generate status points as well. You’ll be able to trade these status points in for cash.
