An Easy Way To Fund Your Bodog Account for US Players

In the past I have always used eWalletXpress to fund my Bodog account. But today I did something that I have always wanted to try out. That is to buy a Visa giftcard and use that to fund my Bodog account. So that is exactly what I tried out. 

I picked up a $50 Visa card at the local supermarket. There was only a $3.95 activation fee for the card. Considering I pay a higher fee with eWalletXpress that was not bad at all. I logged into my Bodog account, went to the cashier, clicked on ‘Credit Card’ along the left hand side of deposit options then just entered the Visa card number, CVV number and the amount of the deposit which was $50. About 30 seconds later I had confirmation that my account was credited with $50.

It was very easy! If you are looking for an easy way to fund your Bodog account just pick up a gift card at any local supermarket or other store (such as CVS, Walgreens…). You can even get them at Target and Walmart so they are easy to find.

If you don’t have a Bodog account yet, then be sure to visit Bodog and sign up. When you make a deposit you will get a 10 % bonus immediately and then can earn and additional 100% bonus on top of this over the next 30 days. The bonus at Bodog is one of the easiest to get. Visit Bodog now.

Absolute Poker Step Tournaments

A STEP tournament is a Sit n Go Tournament that gives you a shot at earning a seat in a major land-based tournament. The buy-ins to step tournaments are very low at only $0.10 at the first STEP. The step tournaments at Absolute Poker consist of 10 steps and the tenth and final step features the grand prize. Players advance from one STEP to the next by finishing first or second in a STEP. Players who don’t finish first or second but still rank high enough will be invited to replay the STEP.

The first two winners of STEP 1 advances to STEP 2 without having to buy in. The first two winners of STEP 2 advances to STEP 3, and so on. This goes on until STEP 10 where the winner secures the final land-based tournament package. If you don’t finish first in a STEP, it’s not necessarily game over. STEP tournaments give players the opportunity to replay a STEP, depending on how they finish in a tournament. You can also buy-in to a step so that you don’t have to play through all ten of the steps.

There are two different step tournaments going on now at Absolute Poker. The $8,500 Aruba Poker Classic prize package that also gives you a chance at a $10 million bonus and 2009 Sports Legends Challenge in the Bahamas.

The 2025 Aruba Poker Classic prize package is an $8,500 Aruba Poker Classic prize package which consists of a $5,500 Main Event seat and $3,000 for travel and accommodations. Yes, you could find yourself in Aruba this February for a measly dime! But it can get even better. If you win the Aruba Poker Classic Main Event after winning STEP 1 through STEP 10 consecutively without losing or buying-in again, Absolute Poker will reward you with a $10 million bonus!

Win the Sports Legends Challenge prize package and compete against 25 sports superstars with $10 million in cash on the line this September.

You can try to earn your way into both of these great land based tournaments at Absolute Poker for only a dime! Click here to visit Absolute Poker.

Full Tilt Poker FTOPS XIII

Full Tilt Poker’s popular Full Tilt Online Poker Series is back with for the 8th installment and FTOPS XIII promises to be another success.  FTOPS XIII will run 25 events over a 12 day span from February 5th to 16th.  This will then quickly be followed by MiniFTOPS XIII which will run the same 25 events for 1/10th the buy-in from February 9th to 20th.  FTOPS XIII will be guaranteeing $16M over the 25 events, while MiniFTOPS will have a total guarantee of $3M.  On top of the huge guarantees the popular satellite challenge will be in full effect, as well as the FTOPS leader board.  There will also be a new promotion added to the FTOPS series called the FTOPS challenge which is sure to add even more value to the poker series.

All of the action gets kicked off with a massive $1 Million guaranteed $200 + $16 tournament on February 5th.  Many of the tournaments will have $200 buy-ins, but there are some tourneys with buy-ins as low as $100 and the 2-day event has the highest buy-in of the series at $2.5K.  The series includes a wide variety of game types so you should be able to find a tournament to your liking even if you are a stud, a razz or a PLO heads up tournament player.  Like the other FTOPS series’ every player that makes a final table will receive a limited edition FTOPS jacket and the winner of each tourney will also receive a coveted FTOPS gold jersey.  The MiniFTOPS events award the exact same final table prizes with the minor difference that the winner’s jersey is silver instead of gold.

The popular FTOPS satellite challenge is back and there is almost $23K in tournament dollars up for grabs from this promotion.  Every FTOPS event will have many satellites to allow players to gain entry to the tournament for a smaller amount than the buy-in.  The FTOPS satellite challenge encourages players to play these tournaments because the 2 players who win the most satellites to a particular event win extra tournament dollars equal to the amount of the events buy-in.  The first place finisher wins the equivalent of 2 event buy-ins in tournament dollars, while the second place finisher wins the equivalent of 1 event buy-in.  For example, if you win the most satellites to a $200 + $16 event you win $432 tournament dollars.  This is in addition to the tournament dollars you won from each satellite tournament victory.

You can also play for the top place on the FTOPS leader board and all of the bragging rights and bonus prizes that come with it.  For most players the bragging rights would be enough, but Full Tilt is also giving the FTOPS XIII leader board winner a custom Full Tilt Poker avatar and free entry into all of the FTOPS XIV events, except for the 2-day event.  The FTOPS XIV event entries alone are valued at about $7.5K and the Full Tilt avatar is worth 1 Million Full Tilt Points.  If you find yourself near the top of the FTOPS XIII leader board I suggest you bite the bullet and go for the win.

Full Tilt has also come out with a new FTOPS promotion called the FTOPS challenges.  There are 6 different challenges that you can try your hand at.  All of the challenges are in game tasks, with four of the challenges earning your freeroll entries, while the other two challenges earn you bonus cash for success in FTOPS events.  For example, the most difficult challenge to complete is the Million Dollar Challenge.  If you cash in 17 FTOPS events you win the $1 Million grand prize.

FTOPS XIII is going to be a huge success with tons of cash up for grabs and a lot of added value for players participating in the satellite challenge, the FTOPS challenges or going for first place on the FTOPS XIII leader board. Play in FTOPS XIII at Full Tilt Poker.

Full Tilt Poker FIVE Promotion

Full Tilt Poker has now been in the online poker industry for 5 years and in this time they have managed to become one of the most successful and most recognized poker rooms online.  To say thank you to all of the players that have played at the site over the years Full Tilt has come out with a new promotion that will give a lot of value back to players.  This promotion runs from February 9th to 19th and is fittingly called the FIVE promotion.  Most of the aspects of the promotion include the five theme including earning 5 times the Full Tilt Points during Full Tilt Happy Hours, winning 5 times the regular amount for a bust-out bounty, $5K freerolls running every 5 hours, a bonus for referring 5 friends and $500K added to the normal Sunday $1M prize pool.  Full Tilt has gone all out in celebrating their five successful years so you should plan to play as much poker as possible during this promo.

Happy Hour will get even happier during this promotion because instead of earning just double the Full Tilt Points you will be earning 5 times the points during all the normal designated happy hours.  That means that 8 hours a day you can be earning 5 times as many Full Tilt Points as normal.  This is great news because Full Tilt Points are valuable and can be used to buy-into a lot of Full Tilt tournaments and can also land you some great items in the Full Tilt store.

If you take out a sponsored Full Tilt pro from a tournament of 30 or more during the Full Tilt FIVE promotion you will be paid a very lucrative bounty.  All Full Tilt pro bust-out bounties will be worth 5 times as much as normal.  For example, if you bust a Full Tilt pro from a $50 buy-in tournament you would receive $250 during the promotion, instead of the normal $50 you would earn outside the promotional dates.
The Full Tilt Points you earn during happy hour will also help you buy-into the $5,000 freerolls that will be running every 5 hours for the duration of the promotion.  The freerolls require a buy-in of just 5 Full Tilt Points, which is absolutely nothing to regular players, but the small FTP requirement will keep a lot of freeroll hunters out and the field size reasonable.

Full Tilt Poker is also encouraging players to invite their friends during this promotion.  If you refer 5 friends to Full Tilt Poker during the 11 days of the promotion you receive a bonus of $275.

On top of all of these great promotions Full Tilt is also committed to making the Sunday guarantee one of their biggest ever.  Full Tilt is adding $500K to the Sunday $1M Guarantee which bumps the guaranteed prize pool up to $1.5M.  Full Tilt is also bumping up the Sunday Brawl and Sunday Mulligan guarantees resulting in a total Big Sunday guaranteed bump of $700K.  Make sure you get in on the Sunday tournament action on Full Tilt for your shot at some of the biggest cash prizes available online.

Full Tilt’s FIVE promotion is sure to be a blast with a ton of added value for all players.  Help Full Tilt Poker celebrate their five years of success and you too will likely be celebrating.
