Bonus Codes

A bonus code in online poker is a special code that players can enter to receive promotional rewards like extra chips, deposit matches, freeroll entries, or rakeback offers. It’s a powerful marketing tool used to attract new players, retain existing ones, and promote special events or partnerships.

How Bonus Codes Work?

1. Player Enters Code During signup, deposit, or from a “bonus” section, the player enters a bonus code (e.g., WELCOME100, BLACKFRIDAYBONUS).

2. System Validates the Code The system checks if the code is:

   • Valid and not expired

   • Meant for that user type (new vs. existing)

   • Within usage limits (e.g., once per player)

   • Tied to specific conditions (like minimum deposit)

3. Bonus is Credited or Locked Based on the offer:

   • Bonus chips are instantly credited to the player’s wallet

   • OR, bonus is locked until the player meets play-through/rake targets

4. Tracking & Expiry Admins can track redemptions, total bonus paid out, and set expiry durations (e.g., “Bonus expires in 7 days if not used”).
