effort.
Players that like to take control of 💻 how their game looks can upload their own
avatar and they can change the theme of the site. It may 💻 be a small issue but if you
are bothered by how the screen looks, having the ability to change it 💻 will be of great
benefit. There is a 3D mode as well as classic and modern themes available.

bwin Poker Bonus
70 Bonus
If
you make 💻 a first deposit at bwin Poker you can choose between 3 different poker bonus
offers. New players signing up through 💻 Max Poker Bonus will receive up to a 100% poker
bonus up toR$500.
You will of course be able to choose 💻 a lower poker bonus (100% up
toR$100 orR$250 respectively) if you prefer to deposit less. The minimum deposit is set
💻 at €10 and you will need to make that first deposit within the first 10 days of your
registration at 💻 bwin Poker. See below for more details on the bonus.
bwin Poker Reload
Bonus
There is no regular reload bonus at bwin 💻 Poker but there are special reload
promotions and offers from time to time. bwin does care about loyal players.
Clearing
Your 💻 bwin Poker Bonus
80 Overall
So you can choose a poker bonus of 100% up
toR$100,R$250 orR$500 – but what is the 💻 difference between them or why don’t they
simply say 100% up toR$500 (clearly when you depositR$100 you will receiveR$100 bonus
💻 at any of these bonus variations anyway). Well, there are 2 main reasons for you to
choose carefully between the 💻 3 offers.
First of all let’s take a look at the Poker
Points needed to clear these offers. While theR$100 bonus 💻 needs to be cleared by
collecting 10 bwin Poker Points per bonusR$, ourR$250 andR$500 bonus offers require 8
points perR$ 💻 – and the amount of points collected will of course depend on the rake you
produce. But why would the 💻 lower bonus require more points than a higher one? That’s
where the fact that these are lump sum deals comes 💻 into play.
While you need less
points perR$ the higher bonus offers nonetheless require you to gather more points
overall in 💻 order to clear them. And you have to clear your preferred bonus in its
entirety. If you fail to do 💻 so within 60 days of your deposit you will forfeit the
poker bonus. So think carefully whether you will be 💻 able to collect 1,000 points for
theR$100 poker bonus or 2,000 for theR$250 (or 4,000 for theR$500 bonus). Keep in 💻 mind
that it is better to have a slightly lower poker bonus that you are able to clear
instead of 💻 a high one that you fall short of.
You will receive Poker Points for each
raked hand that you play as 💻 well as for all Tournament Fees paid. When participating in
Tournaments you will receive 5 PPs perR$ of Tournament Fee. 💻 In Cash Games it is a bit
more complicated.
At bwin Poker there is a rather new system that also takes 💻 into
account your activity in Cash Games over the past 90 days. Depending on this and the
amount you paid 💻 into the pot your amount of points gained can vary greatly. While it is
a bit weird not to have 💻 a strict point conversion we found out – after some early
scepticism – that this new system actually pays out 💻 more points per rake in general.
The maximum amount of points per hand (for all players) is limited to 9.75 💻 Poker Points
whereas you could gain a maximum of 3 PPs before the new system.
We feel the offer is
very 💻 interesting and fair, the necessary PPs should not prove too difficult to achieve
if you play regularly. However it would 💻 be a shame to miss out on your chosen poker
bonus just because you end up short a few points 💻 due to overestimating your dedication
and level of play. The choice is yours whether you want to risk a higher 💻 poker bonus or
play it safer with a lower one.
Important: In order to take advantage of the bwin Poker
bonus 💻 offers your first deposit has to be made within 10 days of registering at bwin.
