Sportsbook.com offers an initial Sign-Up Bonus worth 100 percent of a player’s initial deposit, up to $1000, that can be cleared in the poker room. In addition to this poker bonus, they also offer an instant 10 percent bonus up to $100. This bonus is credited to your account as soon as you make your first deposit, and can be used in the poker room, casino, or in the sportsbook. This deposit bonus is available without any special codes or hoops to jump through. Players simply make a deposit to their Sportsbook.com accounts through Visa, MasterCard, cash transfer, or fund transfer through UseMyWallet, Moneybookers, or Neteller, and the 10 percent bonus is deposited directly into their account. However, the deposit must be wagered in 30 days or it becomes forfeit.
The Poker First Deposit Bonus is a bit different. This bonus is worth 100 percent of the initial deposit, up to $1000. To be eligible for the Poker First Deposit Bonus, players must enter the code “FIRST 100” after the initial deposit is made, but can only be earned out through the Sportsbook.com poker room. To receive this bonus, players must make real money purchases through the free Sportsbook.com software, click on the Rewards tab, then click the Deposit Bonus tab and enter the promotion code in the field provided.
Players will also receive a free tournament seat in a $500 freeroll tournament. This tournament is exclusive to new players, and runs every Wednesday. To utilize the free seat, just click the PRIVATE tab in the free software, then double-click the “Welcome Freeroll” link and then click register.
The initial deposit bonus at SportsBook must be earned back by playing in real money games or tournaments. Real money games earn Frequent Player Points (FPP), with each FPP worth $0.06 towards earning back the bonus. Once $10 is reached, that $10 is removed from the pending bonus account and deposited in the Sportsbook account. This continues until the pending bonus equals $0. If there’s less than $10 in the pending bonus account, it still requires $10 worth of FPP but the final payout will be equal to the remaining pending bonus total. Players must earn back their bonus within 90 days of the bonus credit, otherwise the bonus is forfeit.
While 10 percent might not be the biggest sign-up bonus we’ve come across, the 100 percent poker deposit bonus is a fantastic find.
Sportsbook is also a fantastic choice for a poker room because they are an all in one gaming platform. They offer poker, a casino, and a world class sportsbook. We know that many of our poker players also like to play casino games and bet on sports, and sportsbook.com provides a platform in which you can do all three. All of this is done on a shared wallet system, which means that you only need to make one deposit to play poker, casino games, or to bet sports. This is a huge advantage for players that like to partake in all three forms of gaming. It can be a huge pain in the ass to make separate deposits for casino, poker, and sports. Sportsbook.com has solved this problem with their shared wallet system. Bodog is really the only room that matches up well to Sportsbook in this regard, but we like Sportsbook a little better as they have a superior poker room and they offer a bigger bonus. Sportsbook accepts players from all over the world, including the United States.
