1Bet2Bet Poker has almost 6,000 players online, so finding a game should be no problem.

First deposit bonus is 100% up to $500 (minimum deposit is $20) and you have 60 days to clear the maximum bonus.  The poker points are known as Trust Points and with a $20 deposit you will need to earn 500 Trust points to release the maximum bonus.  Once you have met the required points, send an email to poker@1bet2bet.com.  If you don't make the required points in the 60 days, you will get a second chance and they can extend this offer for a further 30 days.  If you still don't make the required Trust Points, they will give you 50% of your bonus.

This site offers plenty of Guaranteed Tournaments although they don't advertise them individually on their site. You can see a lot of guaranteed tourneys listed on their main page and also a $100,000 guaranteed holdem freeze out tournament due to play on Sundays.  The buy in is just $100 but the time is not stated.  The variety of buyins means there is a guaranteed tournament available for everyone's bankroll.

Both the winning and losing hands must include both hole cards and at least four players must be dealt in at the start of the hand.  The hand must have generated jackpot rake (ie. $0.50).  Two or more players must be active at the end of the hand, and it must go to showdown.

The Lightning round tournaments are listed under the Sit & Go tab, starting at only $1.

Bad Beat Jackpot - In any Texas Hold’em game, you will be looking to maximize your value when you pick up Quads.  The chance to go all-in is automatic, but what happens if your opponent is holding higher Quads, or even a Straight Flush?

Bad Beat Jackpot - If you’re playing the bad beat tables, your worst bad beat can become the best hand you’ve ever played with the huge Bad Beat Jackpot. In any Texas Hold’em game, you look to maximize your value when you pick up Quads. The opportunity to go all-in is automatic, but what happens if your opponent is holding higher Quads, or worse, a straight flush?  

The Bad Beat Jackpot is seeded by taking 50 cents from every pot on the specially labeled ring game tables. Once a player has a monster hand cracked, the Bad Beat Jackpot will be won, with every active player at the table receiving a portion of the prize money! The player holding the losing hand gets the biggest percentage of the pot, so if you’re holding Quad sevens or even better, using both hold cards, start hoping to be a loser!
