The latest addition to the library of online poker sites PokerNews has superb deals with is Redbet, an online poker site that gives its players extra choices by being part of two separate networks! We took a look around Redbet to try see what promotions are running and what it will have to offer you in the coming weeks.
Redbet Has Sites On Two Networks?
That is correct. Redbet customers get not one, but two online poker sites to choose from when they create a free account. One site is on the Boss Media IPN Network and the other resides on the IGT Poker Network (formerly known as Entraction).
This not only means that Redbet customers can choose which network to play on whenever they want but they can actually take advantage of the sign-up bonuses on both sites! Each of the networks is offering a 200% match up to “1,000 first deposit bonus and you are allowed to claim both, “2,000 could be yours!
“22,500 Sit & Go Race
Until March 31, sit-n-go grinders can win a share of “2,500 just for playing their favorite games. Leaderboard points are awarded depending on your finishing position in selected sit-n-go tournaments hosted on the IGT Poker Network and if you finish in the top 20 places you will win between “40 and “450 in cash!
| 1 | “450 |
| 2 | “340 |
| 3 | “300 |
| 4 | “250 |
| 5 | “210 |
| 6 | “170 |
| 7 | “135 |
| 8 | “100 |
| 9 | “80 |
| 10 | “65 |
| 11-20 | “40 |
There are three separate leaderboards that are based on buy-in levels:
- Low: between “2 and “5
- Medium: between “10 and “20
- High: between “25 and “300
To make it easy to see which tournaments count towards the leaderboards they will be marked with “PR” in the lobby. Enter a tournament with PR in the title and you will earn points towards the “22,500 Sit & Go Race.
Chase Your Way To “2,000
During April you have the chance to add up to “2,000 to your bankroll just for playing on the Boss Media skin of Redbet. Rake “100 and receive “10 in cash play a little more and rake “250 to receive “25 in cash. “500 rake nets you “50 in cash and this continues with payouts of “100, “150, “250 right up to a maximum of “2,000 for those who manage to generate “20,000 rake!
Redbet Instant Cash Program
The instant cash program on Redbet allows you to convert Redbet Loyalty Points earned on the Redbet Entraction site into cash at any given time.
For every “0.50 raked in a cash game or “0.50 paid in tournament fees one Base Point is awarded and for each Base Point that is rewarded between one and three Loyalty Points are rewarded too. Players of all VIP levels can exchange these Loyalty points for cash as long as they are exchanging a minimum of 60 Loyalty Points for “3. Those players who are in the top VIP level can exchange 60,000 Loyalty Points for a massive “4,000 in cash!
These are just a small selection of the promotions taking place on Redbet. In the past couple of months there have been World Series of Poker packages given away, more rake races and even packages to the popular European Masters of Poker (EMOP) events.
