Paddy Power Poker Bonus Details

Paddy Power Poker has one of the better signup bonuses in online poker: a 150% first deposit up to $600! In other words, Paddy Power Poker will credit your bonus account with $600 for depositing $400. To get the money into your bonus account, enter the Paddy Power Poker Promotional Code FTR600 when making your first deposit.

Paddy Points must be earned to move the money from your bonus account to your real money account. For cash games, Paddy Points are earned in every raked hand that is played. They are distributed in correlation with the amount of rake taken. The first VIP rank (Private) earns three Paddy Points for the first dollar paid in rake, 6.25 Paddy Points for the second dollar paid in rake, and nine Paddy Points for the third dollar paid in rake. Fractional points are given for rakes between the dollar, two dollar, and three dollar benchmarks. In tournaments, a Private earns 20 Paddy Points for each dollar in buy-in fees. As a player rises through Paddy Power Poker’s VIP Program, Paddy Points are earned quicker and the bonus money clears faster. For example, a General (highest rank of Paddy Power Poker’s VIP Program) earns 17 Paddy Points for each hand with a rake of $3 and 40 Paddy Points for each dollar taken in tournament fees. With some determination, the bonus money will be cleared in no time!

Keep in mind that by signing up through FTR, you will also receive the Paddy Power Poker's Odds Calculator free! This calculator, which is a $75 value, will be given to you, in addition to your deposit bonus. For more information, please see our Paddy Power Poker's Odds Calculator review.

The sign-up bonus is released in increments of $5 for every 450 Paddy Points earned. This means a total of 54,000 Paddy Points must be earned to release the entire $600 bonus. Although it seems like this would be near impossible, keep in mind that as you play and increase your VIP status, Paddy Points are easier to earn. The average 50NL player would need to play approximately 110,000 hands to complete this bonus. A player is given 90 days to clear the bonus account. This means the average 50NL player must play ~36,666 hands per month to clear the complete $600 bonus. If all of the bonus money is not cleared within the 90 days, the uncleared bonus amount expires and is unredeemable. Paddy Power Poker’s bonus account is fairly difficult to clear (a 6 out of 10 with 10 being the most difficult).
