Full Tilt Poker is one of the most popular online poker rooms in the world; number #2 in terms of active player volume, in fact. One of the many reasons for the online poker room’s favorable status is the incredible Full Tilt Deposit Bonus.

Full Tilt Poker offers all new players a generous welcome bonus of 100% matching up to $600 on their first deposit. Not only is it one of the largest online poker welcome bonuses in the industry, it comes with some of the easiest, and equally beneficial, clearing requirements. Plus, players get to keep all of the points they collect towards clearing bonuses.

Full Tilt Deposit Bonus – How To Get It
If you’ve never been a member of Full Tilt Poker, you can sign up a new account and take advantage of the exceptional welcome bonus on your first deposit. There is no bonus code required, or emails to be sent. The bonus will be instantly awarded as you collect poker points in ring games and tournaments.

Full Tilt Deposit Bonus – Clearing Requirements
In order to clear the Full Tilt Deposit bonus, a player will need to accumulate poker points just for playing in real-money ring games and tournaments. Every point earned is worth $0.06 of the bonus, released in $10 increments. So you’ll need to collect 167 points in order to receive each $10 of the bonus. Any uncleared bonus money will expire after 120 days.

Full Tilt Deposit Bonus – Points for Ring Games
Full Tilt Poker awards poker points in all real-money ring games, according to the amount raked from the pot. If no rake is taken, no points will be earned. Every $1 raked from the pot grants 1 point to each participating player. Partial points are earned for a rake that does not equal an even dollar amount. For instance, a $0.50 rake awards 0.5 points, a $0.20 rake awards 0.2 points, a $1.50 rake would award 1.5 points, and so on.

Full Tilt Deposit Bonus – Points for Tournaments
Each time a player pays a buy-in + fee to enter a tournament, they are awarded poker points based on the fee. Every $1 paid in tournament fees is worth 7 poker points. Again, partial points are awarded for uneven dollar amounts paid in tournament fees.

Full Tilt Deposit Bonus – Using Those Points
We know it takes a lot of poker points to clear those bonus dollars, but at Full tilt Poker, you’ll get to keep each and every point earned towards bonus clearing. Players can use these points in several ways.

Full Tilt Gear is available in the Full Tilt Store, and has been acclaimed for its diverse quality. By collecting enough poker point, a player can purchase some truly awesome FTP apparel, poker gear, electronics and other cool items.

Poker points can also be used to enter special tournaments. Full Tilt hosts a lot of point-entry freerolls, some awarding more poker points to the winners, but also some with real cash prizes up for grabs.

There are also bigger tournaments, like guarantees and even live tournament satellites that can be entered with poker points. Imagine winning your way to the world Series of Poker Main Event just because you had enough points to enter a WSOP Freeroll Satellite?

In the world of online poker, referral codes are constantly available from third party web sites. Referral codes aren’t just something to scoff at. The fact is, online poker rooms, like Full Tilt Poker, use referral codes to drive in more traffic, in turn rewarding members with higher and more beneficial bonuses.

Advantages of a Full Tilt Poker Referral Code
You can easily find a Full Tilt Poker referral code by simply searching the Internet for relative terms. The normal bonus offered by Full Tilt Poker, to new player sign-ups, is already a generous 100% up to $600, cleared by collecting 167 Base FPP (poker points) for each $1 of the bonus. Using the right Full Tilt Poker referral code, however, could raise the max bonus amount, reduce the number of points required, or lengthen the expiration date.

Another advantage to using a Full Tilt Poker referral code is the frequent inclusion to exclusive freeroll tournaments. A lot of third party sites will offer exclusive freerolls that can only be entered by players who use the corresponding referral code when signing up an account. Evidence of these freeolls can be seen in the Full Tilt Poker tournament lobby under special events. There are hundreds of them each month, and a simple Full Tilt Poker referral code can get you in the door to some free cash, with zero risk.

Who Benefits From a Full Tilt Poker Referral Code
There are some online poker players, mostly novices, who assume that using a Full Tilt Poker referral code is simply going to benefit the third party site. It is true that the third party site is going to benefit from players signing up with their Full Tilt Poker referral code, but the advantages for the player are well worth it.

The third party site will get an affiliate bonus, which may be based on your activity and/or deposits at the online poker room. But this takes nothing away from the player. Online poker fans will continue to play poker, win, lose or a little of both, getting whatever special benefits afforded from the use of the Full Tilt Poker referral code.
