As you may or may not know, Full Tilt Poker offers one of the most lucrative “first deposit” bonuses in the industry.
What is a “first deposit” bonus?
Full Tilt Poker will match the size of your INITIAL deposit on the site with a bonus of up to $600.
So, if you sign up on Full Tilt Poker and decide to deposit $250 on the site initially, then you would qualify for a bonus of $250.
If you deposit to max out the size of your bonus, then you would need to deposit at least $600.
Again – it is just the initial deposit that you make on the site that determines the size of your bonus. Any subsequent deposits will have no bearing on the size of your bonus, so make sure that you make the first deposit count.
Bonuses on Full Tilt Poker are earned by playing in real-money cash games, SNGs and MTTs.
As you earn Full Tilt Points, you will start to unlock your bonus. The faster that you earn FTPs (Full Tilt Points), the faster you will unlock your bonus.
Full Tilt Poker will give you up to 120 days to fully earn your bonus.
Bonuses are released in increments of 10% or $20, whichever comes first.
So, if you were eligible for a bonus of $100, then you would receive your bonus in $10 in increments.
If you were eligible for a deposit bonus of $600, then you would receive your bonus in $20 increments.
Any earned bonus money is yours to do with whatever you please – you can put the money to work at the tables, withdraw it or give it away. The money is yours after you have earned it.
In order to qualify for this exceptional 100% first-time deposit bonus, simply enter KK5240 during the sign-up process when you are prompted for a “Full Tilt Poker referral code“. This will ensure that you are eligible for the lucrative bonus offer that help you on your way towards establishing a decent-sized bankroll.
