UB Bonus
UB provides one of the biggest first deposit bonuses around, a huge 111% up to $1100. Using the UB referral code of “FTR111″ you can unlock this large bonus and start earning some extra cash while you play. You’ll need to enter the referral code when you sign up for an account to ensure that the high level bonus unlocks.
As with any poker bonus, you need to earn points to clear the bonus money. In the case of the UB bonus, you need to accumulate Status Points, 20 of them per bonus dollar. This amounts to 22,000 points, if you’re trying to amass the full $1100 bonus. How many points you earn depends entirely on the stakes at which you play. In $0.01/$0.02 games it takes a whole 20 hands to earn a single point. At $0.50/$1 it’s 5 hands per points, $2/$4 is one for one, and $4/$8+ generate two points for every raked hand played. You also receive one Status Point for every $0.30 paid in tournament entry fees
This is not an easy bonus to clear. At the 50NL level you’d need to play 66,000 qualifying hands to clear the full $1100. It’s an especially tough task, given that you only have 60 days in which to do it. Luckily, the bonus is released in $5 increments, so you needn’t worry if you don’t manage to clear every last dollar.
There are plenty of other promotions at UB, including some exclusive tournaments only accessible by using the FTR111 UB referral code. A $200 freeroll and a $300 Money Added tournament await anyone who signs up with the code. These aren’t just one time affairs, both tournaments are run every month.
There’s also a huge bad beat jackpot to be won by a particularly unlucky player. Lose with quad 8s or better and the jackpot will pay out. Be aware that these tables take an increased rake, $0.50 from every pot. It’s quite likely that your win rate will take a significant hit on these tables, although they do tend to attract in the fish.
In addition, there’s a $200,000 guarantee tournaments and an Ultimate Tournament Leaderboard, with awards for the best tournament players on the site. The RAI$E VIP program also has countless different rewards for players who can build up plenty of monthly Status Points. Reload bonuses, store discount, points multipliers, and the ability to convert points into cash. All this and more can be unlocked by joining up to RAI$E and playing plenty of poker.
