Hidden Party Poker Rewards

Although it's nice to earn rewards for making your first deposit or sending a friend to play at PartyPoker, not every PartyPoker bonus you can earn from Party Poker comes in the form of a first-time deposit match or referral bonus. There's lots of perks available for other interactions with PartyPoker, from cash prizes to cars to seats at the World Series of Poker. Earning these bonuses is a little different from earning bonus money based on your deposit. Here's a look at some hidden Party Poker bonus action.

Earning bonuses by playing raked hands in cash games and making deposits and referrals is great, but sometimes you want to earn something for free just for being a regular customer. PartyPoker has lots of different ways for you to win a little something extra, from special tournaments, monthly promotions, and even a raffle-style game based on how often you play in cash games. Playing poker is even more fun when you have the chance of winning a new Porsche, a seat at an exclusive poker tournament, or cash money.

Party Poker Bad Beat Jackpot

If you lose with a Four of a Kind that is 8s or better, you qualify for a portion of the Bad  Beat jackpot. According to Party Poker, the amount of the Bad Beat jackpot tends to go up about $1,000 an hour until it is won, and you can check the value of this jackpot right from any Bad Beat qualifying table. And it isn't just the big loser who gets paid–the Bad Beat holder gets 50% of the cash, while the rest of the table gets a cut of the jackpot too. To earn this jackpot, play at specially marked cash game tables.

Party Poker Points Rewards

Party Poker has revamped their bonus system to make it easy to understand and easier to earn points. You now earn Party Points for every game you play with real money. Party Poker updates your Party Points balance as soon as you leave a game, no more waiting for that balance to go up overnight. You can spend your Party Points directly through the Party Poker points store site, with lots of cool gifts and prizes to choose from.

The more Party Points you spend at once, the more valuable they are–spend all your points in one big chunk and get a better reward. You can exchange your points for cash, entry into special tournaments, and gift certificates at top notch retail stores among other rewards.

Party Poker WSOP Satellites

Party Poker gives away 50 seats to the World Series of Poker every year exclusively through tournaments rewarding WSOP prizes. Not only do you win free entry into the WSOP (a $10,000 value) you also get hotel accommodations and other extras. Look for monthly qualifying tournaments, including some WSOP seat tourneys set aside exclusively for first-time depositors. These tournaments allow you to win a seat at the WSOP for nothing down.

World Poker Tour Tournaments

If you have ever craved a World Poker Tour bracelet, Party Poker has you covered. Tournaments that award entry into various WPT events around the world take place all the time. Daily free roll tournaments give you entry into qualifying events without a buy-in or fee, so you could find yourself in Las Vegas or Atlantic City playing for a WPT bracelet without paying a dime.

PartyPoker Gladiator

Every May, Party Poker hosts The Gladiator. During this month, the number of points you earn for playing poker qualifies you for different cash prizes, seats at special tournaments, and even cold hard cash or a seat at the World Series of Poker. For example, if you earn 10 points a day for 20 days, you win a $15 cash prize and a seat at a special $25,000 freeroll tournament.
The Big Draw

During the month of June, every raked hand you play in will earn you one “ticket” to The Big Draw. PartyPoker is giving away $500,000 worth of prizes during a daily raffle. Every point you earn is one ticket to this raffle, and prizes include iPhones,  TVs, iPads, branded merchandise, cash prizes, luxury vacations, and even a Harley motorcycle and a new Porsche.

$1 Summer Million Tournament

You can qualify for Party Poker's guaranteed $1 million prize pool tournament in August for as little as $1. Qualifiers for entry into this huge prize pool tournament start up every spring and can be entered for just a buck in most cases.
