Bwin Poker offers a variety of promotions and incentives for players of all skill and experience levels. Many promotions are featured, such as a Weekly Country Showdown, a country-restricted Texas Hold'em tournament, or the weekly $200,000 ChampionChip Tournament.

Bwin Poker Welcome Bonus

Bwin Poker offers a $100 welcome bonus for all new players. To claim this bonus, one must register with Bwin Poker, log in and enter a bonus code. The bonus will then be activated, but the player must earn Poker Points to unlock his or her bonus money at the rate of 10 Poker Points per $1.00 of bonus cash. Poker Points are earned through participation in cash games and tournaments. To win Poker Points in a cash game, the player must contribute to the pot. The amount of Poker Points awarded to each player depends on the total size of the pot, the game type and stakes, the number of players, the size of each player's contribution and the players' relative strengths. This means that players may receive different amounts of Poker Points for every pot to which he or she contributes. Players earn 5 Poker Points for every $1.00 paid in tournament fees. Any bonus money not claimed after 90 days is declared forfeit.

Bwin Poker Rookie Challenge

The Bwin Poker Rookie Challenge is a promotion designed to give online poker newcomers an introduction to real money games. Bwin Poker gives all new registrants 10 tickets into the Rookie Challenge, which is a series of 5 games in which the top player from each round goes on to compete at the next level, culminating in a heads up game. The winner of this heads up game wins three real money tickets and three entries into the Rookie Challenge Freeroll. The Rookie Challenge Freeroll occurs daily and offers $300 worth of entries into real money tournaments to the winners. If a player does not win with any of their Rookie Challenge tickets, he or she can still enter the Rookie Challenge Freeroll by making a deposit and earning at least 1 Poker Point. Doing so will give the player 14 tickets for the Rookie Challenge Freeroll.

Bwin Poker b'inside Program

Bwin Poker's b'inside is a rewards program that awards Market Points and Status Points to all players who participate in real money games and tournaments. Market Points can be spent on a variety of items and promotions such as lotteries, real money packages, tournament entry tickets, poker bonuses and a variety of other goods including electronics, apparel and books. Status Points are earned in the same way as Market Points, but a player's status is recalculated every 3 months. Having a high status gives players certain benefits, such as entry into restricted tournaments and the option to purchase better promotions in the b'inside Market.

Bwin Poker also offers several other ongoing and limited-time promotions such as the Nations Cup, the Aussie Millions Freeroll and the Contender Series, in which the competitors are separated into different divisions based on their monthly Market Point earnings.
