For online poker enthusiasts looking for a rewarding welcome bonus, the PKR bonus is more than just a 120% match on the first, initial deposit. Players making their very first cash deposit into a PKR online poker account are eligible to receive up to $800 in pending bonus dollars, as well as six premium freeroll tickets and 1,500 PKR points to help players get started collecting in-game gear for their avatar, pay PKR Point buy-ins to freerolls with significant cash prize pools, or purchase a variety of merchandise from the PKR store.

In order to qualify for the PKR bonus, one must be depositing at PKR for the first time. A minimum deposit of $10 is required, and the PKR bonus will match the inaugural deposit up to $800. The PKR bonus code top800 must be entered in the designated bonus code box at the time of the deposit, and the PKR bonus may only be claimed by one member of each household.

Clearing the PKR bonus requires players to earn 225 PKR Points for every $1 of the pending PKR bonus. PKR Points are acquired by participating in raked cash games and tournaments with an entry fee. Any gifted or granted PKR Points, or points earned in PKR Point tournaments will not count toward the release of bonus dollars.

Players have 60 days to earn the entire pending bonus before the PKR bonus expires. The PKR bonus will not be released into the player's account until the bonus has been earned in its entirety by collecting 225 PKR points per $1 of bonus. Partial bonuses are not awarded by PKR, meaning that if the player has not accumulated enough points to release the whole PKR bonus by the 60 day deadline, the total bonus is forfeited by the player.

The PKR Points that are earn in order to release the PKR bonus are not removed from the player's account, and do not have to be saved in order to be applied to the bonus. Each qualifying PKR Point earned is immediately counted toward the PKR bonus, and may be spent on freeroll entries, in-game items for the player's avatar, or any merchandise available in the PKR online store. The PKR Points will not need to be retained until the PKR bonus is fully cleared.

For every $1 paid in tournament entry fees (in a $10+$1 tournament, $10 goes to the prize pool, and $1 goes to PKR as an entry fee for the use of their "facilities") PKR players earn 100 PKR Points, which will automatically count toward the required number of points needed to release a pending PKR bonus. PKR Points are also acquired in cash games, with the number of points awarded being relative the amount of money a player contributes to a raked pot.

Refer-a-friend bonuses are available at PKR as well, rewarding players in accepted countries with $50 for every friend who makes a qualifying deposit, and earns the required number of PKR Points. The referred friend must make a minimum deposit of $50, and earn 1,000 PKR Points in order for the referrer to claim the reward from PKR. Players who join PKR through the refer-a-friend program will also be entitled to claim a $50 award from PKR upon fulfillment of their deposit and play obligations.

An online poker player signs up with PKR for the first time, and chooses to make a deposit in their player account of $100. Using the appropriate bonus code, that player also receives $100 in PKR bonus in their pending bonus account. The new player also receives six tickets to premium PKR freeroll tournaments. Participating in real money online poker cash games and tournaments at PKR, the new player begins accumulating PKR Points. If the new player earns 22,500 for participation in raked pots and paying tournament entry fees within 60 days of making their first deposit, the PKR bonus will be released into the player's real money account; effectively doubling the new player's original deposit.

In addition to the PKR deposit, the new player also receives 1,500 PKR points. While the points cannot be applied toward clearing the bonus, the player can use the points to purchase clothing and accessories for their avatar, buy in to freerolls, or shop at the PKR online store.
