Information about Betsson’s various promotions and tournaments is scarcely available, it took us some time to come up with all the information regarding one of their most generous promotions, the $10,000 monthly VIP freeroll.
That’s right, this is a freeroll we’re talking about, but earning a seat in this tourney is by no means easy. Access to the tournament can be gained in one way only: by generating 1,000 player points during a month. That is probably why it has VIP in its name, because only the biggest rake-contributors gain access to it, and guys like that do deserve the VIP treatment no matter what poker room they play at. Playing in a no buy-in tourney which offers a guaranteed prize-pool of $10,000 does indeed qualify as VIP treatment, probably by just about any standards. The tournament takes place on the first Sunday of every month (it is indeed a monthly regular) and player points generated during the previous month are considered. Players can log in and view the amount of player points they possess at Betsson’s website, in real time. If the meter representing the monthly poker points balance is filled up all the way, they may as well start warming up for the $10,000 VIP.
Player points can be generated in any real money game at Betsson, whether it’s a tournament or a cash game. The Betsson player points award system is a pretty generous one too. For every one dollar in rake, players get one player point, and that means ALL players who take part in the hand. Player points can be used for bonus redemption as well.
Betsson has always been keen on rewarding its players with some kind of cashback deal, and the monthly $10,000 VIP is one such deal. On top of that, they also run a weekly Cashback freeroll, the entry to which costs 200 player points. They have a nifty player-point meter for that too in their user account interface.
