Everest Poker lets you choose from three different Welcome Bonuses on top of their ubiquitous offer of $30,000 in freerolls. There is a $500 freeroll exclusive for players who have made their first deposit within the last 30 days held every day at 19:00 GMT, totaling $15,000 in potential freeroll dollars. This is on top of their usual freeroll schedule that offers another $500 in prizes over the course of 6 daily tournaments.
Again, you are welcome to all of these promotions while clearing any of the Welcome Bonuses. You must choose between one of the three following bonuses:
$600 Flat Bonus Offer
Using the code FTR600 gives you 20% more than the usual Everest Poker bonus offer. Regardless of how much you deposit (as low as the deposit minimum for the site) you can earn $600—that’s up to a 6,000% value!
The bonus is released in such immediate increments that it is almost unprecedented. Every time you leave a table, you immediately get $0.06 for every 1 full Summit Point you earned at that table. This means that you get your bonus released 166 times as fast as you do on PokerStars, for example.
You get 1 Summit Point for every $1 raked by the entire table at any 10-handed table, 1.4 Summon Points per $1 raked at 6-handed tables and 3.5 SP per $1 raked at HU tables. This means that, in theory, you could get as many as 10 Summon Points per $1 of your normal attribution to the rake, meaning that you could get as much as 60% effective cashback! It doesn’t work out to be this generous, obviously, once you take into account that you can only get 3 SP points per hand at 10-handed tables and that 10-handed tables almost always have at least one player sitting out, raising your proportionate contribution to the rake, but that is still a very, very good deal. It is a little easier to quantify your cashback playing tournaments, as you get a flat rate of 8 SP for every $1 in tournament fees. That’s 48 cents on every dollar back in your pocket!
You only have 30 days to clear the bonus.
In short, this is the same exact deal as the standard Everest Welcome Bonus (same clearing requirements, release rates and deposit conditions), except your ceiling is set at $600 instead of just $500. While you may prefer the other FTR $500 offer for the smaller clearing requirement, there is no advantage to taking Everest’s standard deal over this one.
NOTE: Summit Points credited to your account through any way other than rake or tournament fees (e.g. free play and Summit Points tables and tournaments) do not count toward the clearing of your bonus.
$500 Flat Bonus Offer
Everest Poker offers an opportunity to clear your bonus 33% faster than the usual rate, so you can ensure that you cash in on the maximum. Using the code FTR500 can score you $0.08 in bonus money on every Summit Point.
You get 1 Summit Point for every $1 raked by the entire table at any 10-handed table, 1.4 Summon Points per $1 raked at 6-handed tables and 3.5 SP per $1 raked at HU tables. This means that, in theory, you could get as many as 10 Summon Points per $1 of your normal attribution to the rake, meaning that you could get as much as 80% effective cashback! It doesn’t work out to be this generous, obviously, once you take into account that you can only get 3 SP points per hand at 10-handed tables and that 10-handed tables almost always have at least one player sitting out, raising your proportionate contribution to the rake, but that is still a very, very good deal. It is a little easier to quantify your cashback playing tournaments, as you get a flat rate of 8 SP for every $1 in tournament fees. That’s 64 cents on every dollar back in your pocket!
Aside from the obvious fact that there is a lower ceiling for how much you can earn, there is another drawback to this bonus: there is no incremental release of this bonus, and you must earn the entire amount in 30 days or you will get none of it. If you’re not confident that you can the necessary amount of rake to yourself over a month, then this is not the bonus for you.
NOTE: Summit Points credited to your account through any way other than rake or tournament fees (e.g. free play and Summit Points tables and tournaments) do not count toward the clearing of your bonus.
10 $1 eTickets for $10+ deposits
If you’re not a hardcore grinder and would like to see more immediate bang for your buck, Everest also offers a much more straightforward deal using the bonus code 10FOR10. Deposit as little as $10 and receive 10 $1 eTickets (that is, tournament vouchers good for any tournament that costs $1 or less) that you can use at your discretion.
Everest Poker offers 10 $1 buy-in tournaments, and the vouchers can be used for tournaments with lower buy-ins as well.
The tickets expire within 30 days. Also, keep in mind that you must earn 5 Summit Points per day over 5 different days before you receive your tickets. Finally, you must deposit within 14 days of registering to be eligible for this promotion.
