Earning Player Points
You can earn PPs by playing in any real money poker game on Bovada Poker that has a rake or fee. In Bovada Poker tournaments and Sit & Go’s, you earn points based on how much the entry fee costs. For every $1.00 USD in fees paid, you will earn 3 PPs. If, for example, you play a tournament that costs $20+$2 to enter, the entry fee is $2. In this case, you will earn 6 PP (2 x 6).
Note: "Play Money" and "Freeroll" tournaments do not charge a cash fee, and therefore do not award any PPs.
In cash games, PPs are awarded based on the total rake taken multiplied by the PP rate. The table below breaks down how poker points are earned at cash (ring) games.
RAKE CONTRIBUTED = POINTS EARNED
$1.00-$3.00 = 1
$0.50-$0.95 = 0.5
$0.25-$0.45 = 0.25
$0.05-$0.20 = 0.1
If you were playing heads-up with a player and the pot was raked $1, you would be credited with contributing $0.50 rake ($1 / 2 players) and be awarded 1 point.
Clearing Rates
The chart listed above offers estimation of how many hands/tournaments are needed in order to clear the bonus amount. At 50NL, it would take about 100,000 hands to earn the entire $1,000 bonus. Based on tournaments, the bonus works out to be approximately 28.5% rakebake, as it takes $3,500 in tournament fees to get back $1000.
Bovada gives you 60 days to earn the bonus. After 60 days, you will not be able to earn anymore of the bonus.
