The sign-up bonus offered by Absolute Poker is an extremely generous one: new players get a 150% match on their first deposits, up to $500. Upon sign-up, the welcome bonus lands in players’ bonus accounts. In order to be able to take it to the tables or to cash it out, players need to play real money games and generate Status Points.
The higher up on the VIP ladder a player is, the fewer Status Points he needs for every bonus dollar. A Bronze level player needs 20 Status points, while an Elite Diamond needs only 17.

The Absolute Poker bonus is released in $5 increments. Players have 60 days to unlock their bonuses.
