888.com have announced the launch of their eagerly anticipated
Pacific Poker Rewards Program, an industry ground breaking loyalty
scheme which ultimately earns 888.com players substantial cash backs
every single time they play a hand at multi award winning Pacific Poker.
888.com clients automatically receive these new reward points when
they play any money game on the site, so there is no need for customers
to fill in any forms or even to apply for the Pacific Poker Rewards
Program – players just visit the site, log in and play their usual
games – but now every hand is worth more, as Itai Pazner, 888 Senior
Vice President regions explains:
“Every time a player plays a poker hand at Pacific Poker they are
earning reward points which can be exchanged for cash. The more a
player plays, the more reward points he earns and ultimately the bigger
cash back he receives. Now every single hand is literally worth more
than it was before.”
Once customers finish playing their hand, 888 automatically credits
their account with rewards points. Once a client has reached a minimum
of $10* they are free to withdraw that amount into their actual
bankroll, and ultimately into their bank account!
Rewards points can also be used to enter many of the daily and
weekly poker tournaments at Pacific Poker, and before long Pacific
Poker players will be able to exchange their rewards points for
merchandise such as iPods or high definition flat screen televisions at
the soon to launched Pacific Poker online shop.
888 players will also be placed into new status groups; which groups
players are placed into depends on how much they play with Pacific
Poker. There are six statuses to climb in the Pacific Poker Rewards
Program beginning at Bronze and moving onto Silver, Gold, Platinum, VIP
and VIP Diamond The higher the status group the more reward points are
earned – for example, when a player reaches the Gold Status he receives
4.5 reward points for every status point he collects. Once in Platinum
status the same player will earn 9 reward points for every status
point. The moment you earn enough Status Points, you move up to the
next monthly status, no matter if it is in the beginning, middle, or
end of the month. You keep the same status from that day on until the
end of the next calendar month. For example, if you move up to Silver
on May 15th, your status remains the same until June 30th.
As well as earning more reward points for the higher the status a
player is, there are also special poker events, exclusive promotions,
complementary gifts, and free roll events only available to those
within each stratum.
888 players will be able to see how many status points and reward
points they have at any given moment, and in addition they will be able
to track their status points accumulation by viewing the Status
Progress Bar at the actual poker tables. The new Rewards Program
supersedes the old Frequent Player Points scheme.
