The Poker Nordica bonus is earned out of the pending bonus account as the player accumulates VIP Points. These VIP Points are obtained when the player joins in raked online poker cash games at Poker Nordica. VIP Points are also acquired when the player participates in Poker Nordica's online poker tournaments with a real money entry fee.

When players contribute to the rake in a real money online cash game at Poker Nordica, they receive 10 VIP Points for every $1 paid in rake. Partial points are also awarded, so that when a player pays $.25 in rake, they acquire 2.5 points. The amount of rake a player is calculated to have contributed to the pot is relative to the portion of the pot that came from the player's chip stack. Thus, a player who folds pre-flop without placing any wager would not receive any VIP Points. Poker Nordica also employs a "No flop, no drop" policy, meaning that they do not rake hands in which no flop is dealt.

Entry fees paid in multi-table tournaments and sit and gos also earn VIP Points for Poker Nordica players at a rate of 10 VIP Points per $1 entry fee. In a $20+$2 sit and go, $20 goes into the player prize pool, and the +$2 - the entry fee - is paid to Poker Nordica. The player would receive 20 points for playing a $20+$2 sit and go tournament at Poker Nordica.

For every 750 VIP Points a player obtains, $10 of the Poker Nordica bonus is released into the player's real money account. The Poker Nordica bonus will continue to be released in $10 increments as the player earns VIP Points until the bonus is fully cleared, or the player makes a withdrawal from their account causing the Poker Nordica bonus to expire.

An important clause to note in the Poker Nordica bonus Terms and Conditions is that players cannot claim a sign-up bonus from more than one Merge Gaming Partner at a time. If the player has - within the last 60 days - made a deposit or participated in any real money online poker activities with another Merge Gaming Partner after having accepted a bonus offer, the player is not eligible for the Poker Nordica bonus. However, if 60 days have passed since the player has been active at another Merge Gaming skin, the player will be allowed to accept the Poker Nordica bonus offer.

A new player, located in the US, making their first deposit at Poker Nordica decides to use Click2Pay to transfer $50 into their real money poker account. Typing into the bonus code box, the player is granted $50 in their Poker Nordica bonus account upon completion of the deposit. In addition, because the player used one of the preferred deposit methods, Poker Nordica instantly gives the player an extra $20 in their real money account.

As the new player joins in Poker Nordica's real money online poker games, the player obtains VIP Points relative to the rake and entry fees the player pays. The player will need to accumulate 3750 VIP Points in order to release the entire Poker Nordica bonus.
