The get the maximum benefit from this article, we recommend that you read it all the way through. If you are a new online poker, you might want to start at the end to read our warning about the stake levels we use in our examples, but we hope that most poker players reading this page will grasp the relationship between the first deposit bonus (and any subsequent reload bonuses), the rewards program and the “Beast”.

The Americas Cardroom Bonus

The Americas Cardroom bonus is a 100% match on the amount on first deposits up to $1,000. You qualify for this poker bonus by entering the Americas Cardroom bonus code “BTCBONUS” when you first create your account after you have downloaded the poker software. The field in which to enter the bonus code appears on the first page of the registration process (see the image below).

Once you have created your new account, you can then fund it using a number of convenient deposit options – including Bitcoin – in the secure browser-based Cashier. We recommend that you also complete the verification process to increase the security of your funds and to speed up the cashout process when you want to withdraw your winnings!

This welcome bonus up to an amount of $1,000 does not mean that you have to limit your first deposit to that amount or Bitcoin equivalent. It is the maximum first deposit bonus you can receive. Subject to deposit limits – and provided that you are not playing online poker with money you cannot afford to lose – it is much easier to clear the Americas Cardroom bonus with a bigger bankroll behind you.

Clearing the Americas Cardroom Bonus

Once you have registered your account and made your first deposit, you can then start playing online poker for real money. Whenever you get involved in a pot in a cash game and make a contribution to the rake that is deducted from the pot, you will collect “Award Points”. You will also collect “Award Points” for paying a fee to play in a Sit n Go game or in one of the site´s tournaments.

“Award Points” are distributed at the rate of 5.5 Points per dollar contributed to the rake or paid in fees. So, if you put $4.00 into a pot from which 5% rake was deducted, you would collect 1.1 “Award Points”. If you were to enter a Sit n Go game with a $20.00 buy-in and a $2.00 fee, you would receive 11 “Award Points”. Each time your points balance increases by 27.5 “Award Points”, $1.00 of your outstanding Americas Cardroom bonus is cleared and added to the “Available Bonus Cash” balance that appears in the “Bonus Management” section of the poker client.

You have 60 days in which to earn the “Award Points” needed to clear your Americas Cardroom bonus, after which any uncleared bonus is forfeited. Ideally you should schedule your play at the site so that you are not busting a gut to clear the bonus at the eleventh hour and you should not worry if you fail to clear your full Americas Cardroom bonus within the 60 days allowed. Reload bonuses are often made available to existing players, each with their own Americas Cardroom bonus code.
