Bonuses and Promotions

Newly registered players at Betfair Poker can choose the type of sign-up bonus they wish to receive in a few simple steps, which include registering a funded account, downloading the poker client and inputting the appropriate bonus code for the type of sign-up bonus they have chosen. A list of bonus codes is available at the Betfair Poker website.

The next step is to play poker and collect Player Points; and the site will credit the bonus amount in installments as and when players collect the required number of Player Points. New players are granted a period of 60 days to collect all the bonuses they desire; and the maximum new player bonus that a player can claim is $2,500.
