Everest Poker offers several competitive promotions and incentive programs aimed at appealing to new and experienced players alike. For example, players can play in the weekly $1500 Omaha Nights tournament or in Shasta tournaments, which allow them to play for real money with no buy-in. While there are numerous promotions, there are three aimed particularly at assisting newcomers to Everest Poker.

Everest Poker Welcome Bonus

All new players at Everest Poker qualify for the site's welcome bonus. Once a player creates an account, enters the proper bonus code and makes an initial deposit, her or she will activate a $200 poker bonus. All deposits qualify for this bonus, meaning that if a player makes a deposit of $10, they will receive the equivalent of a 2000% matching bonus. To use this bonus money, a player must unlock it incrementally by earning Summit Points, which are awarded for participating in raked cash games and real money tournaments. A player can win a maximum of 4.2 Summit Points per hand in a ranked game. Players also earn 8 Summit Points per $1.00 spent on tournament entry fees. For each Summit Point a player earns, $0.06 of bonus cash is added to his or her account immediately.

Everest Poker New Depositors Freeroll

The Everest Poker New Depositors Freeroll is a bi-weekly tournament open to all new players that have made their first deposit within 30 days of registering at the site. Upon their initial deposit, these players will receive a token granting them entry into the New Depositors Freeroll, held every Monday and Thursday at 19:00 GMT. The Freeroll is a $1000 tournament and is designed to serve as an introduction to Everest Poker's other freeroll tournaments. It also gives new players a chance to play for and win real money with no risk.

Everest Poker $2,500 Bankroll Builder

Everest Poker's $2,500 Bankroll Builder is a promotion designed to give players the experience of a high buy-in tournament while giving them an opportunity to develop a large enough bankroll for such tournaments. There are three ways to enter the Bankroll Builder's $2,500 final tournament. Players can enter a free satellite tournament and advance to the final tournament if they are within the top 50 finishers. Similarly, players can pay 50 Summit Points to enter one of three tournaments that have special rules, such as a tournament with 6 seats instead of 10. Each of these tournaments send the top 25 finishers to the final tournament. Finally, players can pay 1,000 Summit Points to skip directly to the $2,500 finale.

In addition to these promotions, Everest Poker also features such fixtures as Sit n' Go Steps, the $500 Chip and a Chair Tournaments that are offered 12 times daily with a buy-in of $1, and special Winner's Choice and 3LT live poker events.
