Can somebody explain how much $$ will I get when I reach 200 points?
According to this table: http://www.bankrollmob.com/free-bankrolls-details.asp?r... I will get 20$ for 200 points, right? I also chatted with live support on BBP site before registering poker account and they said: Yes, you will get 20$ for 200 points. I thought - cool, ~ 100% cashback for micros, I sign up! In cashier it's written that I will get only 10$ bucks, I also wrote to support and they confirmed that information.
Posted by shokaku: You get $10 direct, $20 more after 200 points. $35 more after additional 400 points, and so on. It is all in the bonus terms.
so in all I need to earn 8100 points, that's ~ 810 in rake and I will get 330$ in cashback, = 0.4 cashback.. not so bad, the question is how much time will it take to generate so much rake and is it worth it.
but support says I will get 10$ for 200 points - I don't understand.. can you explain me where is mistake?

If you only work with the free $10 it will take a lot of time.

There are two bonuses. The one direct from Big Bet Poker gives only $10 for 200 points. The offer from BRM is better.

When you reach 200 points, you complete the 10$ bonus and 20$ is released and added to your bankroll but its not yours to kept yet because you havent earnt it.. To complete the 20$ bonus you need to reach 400 points. 35$ is then released but to actually 'keep' it you need to reach 750 points.
Basically you're getting the money before earning it but you need to reach the next check point before the previous level is yours to keep.
Lets say you got 1000 points so your last bonus they gave you would be 40$. Lets say, You currently have .. $140 including the $40 bonus they issued. You want to withdraw this money because you meet the requirements of having more than $50 and earned more the 700 vip points. The $40 will be deduced from your account because you haven't completed that level yet, leaving you with $100 which to withdraw. Any bonuses you completed previously is yours to keep.
I might suggest that you complete the promo fully, its a shame to withdraw half way and not take advantage of it because once you finished the promo, you're still eligiable to get the first deposit bonus, after completing the first deposit bonus you can STILL get rakeback.
What you can do is when you complete the bonus, just withdraw and deposit again using the money you earned from the promotion. You never 'deposited' before therefore you can still get the first deposit bonus.

Rakeback done by the poker room itself instead. So instead of recieving rakeback from affiliate, the Rakeback is given directly be the site which is easier in my opinion.
Yea I play on BBP. Started with the no deposit bonus, finished the first deposit bonus and now i have rakeback

Hi I'm new around here and I would like to know how is the points system in BBP. How many hands do I have to play at any cash game level to get a point?, and how the system works with SNG and MTT with buy in?. Thx

When you play on BBP you get 2 kinds of points. Reward points and Vip points. Getting Reward points depends on the current bonus you're playing. If you're on the bankroll builder promotion, then you hardly get any reward points at all. If you're doing the first deposit bonus, its 750 reward points per dollar rake (i think - since they changed it).
Reward points can be used to redeem for cash into your poker account that you can withdraw straight away without any playthroughs, just like an instant cash bonus. There are also merchandise and sweepstakes but there isn't much there as of this moment. You can redeem reward points for cash at a rate of 1000 points per $1 (minimum to redeem is $2 so 2000 points minimum is required to redeem any money)
Vip points is accumulated regardless on what bonus you're playing, you still get the same rate of vip points. 10 VIP points per $1 raked for tourney, SnGs and cashgames. Vip points can be used to buyin inmost tourneys. 100 vip per tourney dollar (thats about 10% rakeback of tourney dollars.
If you join a $1 + 0.1 SnG, that means you raked $0.1 or 10cents for entering that SnG. You will recieve 1 VIP point and some reward points (Depending on the bonus you're currently playing, No deposit, first deposit or rakeback). It's the same with MTTs.
If you want to use VIP points for a MTT, 1$ MTT buyin requires 100 VIP points. Its good if you don't wish to use money from your own bankroll, provided that you have enough VIP points to enter the tourney. An example for that is the 50k guaranteed. The buyin is $109 dollars, or you can use 10900 vip points to play in it

Posted by Teddy_KGB: Ok, and how many hands would take to generate that rake playing NL4?
Depends, you might rake 1$ in 2 hands, you might rake 1$ in 50 hands. It actually depends on the pots you get involved in, the bigger the pots, the more rake you generate. You get points everytime you contribute something because you can get decimal points if you rake 10 cent or 1 cent.
The bonus isn't that hard provided that you have good bankroll management and not donk off your roll if you get a bad beat or two.
