I would like to continue going over the Everest Poker download, and I will concentrate on their rewards program. It is possible that their rewards program is one of the best online. When you play at the real money tables you get Summit Points (SP), and more points mean more benefits. When you reach the top of the VIP ladder, you’ll be getting an SP multiplier of 750% as well as $5k every month as a cash reward. This yields up to 50% in rakeback!
You have to enroll yourself in the VIP Summit Club in order to participate. Go to “My Account”, click on the “VIP Summit Club” button, check the “agree” box, and click “enroll”. This is in contrast to the Full Tilt Poker download where you instantly become part of the rewards program when you sign up.
Let’s go over the VIP levels and their benefits now.
Base Camp – Earn at least 500 SPs and you get invited into the Base Camp. You receive a 250% multiplier for SPs in the first VIP level. For instance, if you get 100 SPs one day, you will get an extra 250 SPs as a bonus. You can also convert your SPs to cash now. Your maximum at Base Camp is $50 for 12,500 SPs. Your refer-a-friend bonus increases to $50, and you get entry into a $1,000 weekly freeroll. Just like the VIP program you get when you download PokerStars, you get the benefits for each Camp level for a month.
Camp I – Once you reach 3,000 SPs in a month, you get placed into Camp I. The Summit Points bonus multiplier at this level is 500%, which means for every 1 SP you collect, you will receive an additional 5. For 62,500 SPs, you can get up to $250 in bonus cash. The other benefits from Base Camp also remain.
Camp II – To make it to Camp II, you have to collect at least 10,000 SPs in one month on Everest, one of the best online poker rooms around. Your SP multiplier increases to 600% at this level. You can convert SPs up to $750 every month, for the cost of 187,500 Summit Points. The benefits really start to improve at this level, and there is a good chance they are better than on most US poker sites. Now you have access to priority customer service, you can play a $10k monthly freeroll, and if you refer a friend, you get $100.
Camp III – It takes double the SPs of Camp II to get into Camp III. Your SP multiplier increases as usual, although only to 650%. It is possible to earn up to $1k in bonus cash in Camp III, which usually cannot be matched by any given Roulette bonus. The maximum amount will cost 250,000 SPs. You will, of course, also keep your benefits from Camp II.
I will finish describing the VIP program in the next entry. Have a good day!
