Sportsbook.ag Bonuses and Promotions

When you sign-up to Sportsbook.ag there are a number of promotions you'll be able to participate in, ranging from deposit bonuses to VIP programs. The following are details about their biggest promotions.

The first promotion I recommend you capitalize on is Sportsbook's deposit bonus. This is reserved for all players making a deposit for the first time. When you make your (first) deposit Sportsbook will match your deposit 150% up to $750. This is a great way to boost your bankroll -- even give you the opportunity to play higher stakes.

Before the money is yours though, you'll need to earn it by playing real money games. When you play real money games you'll generate rake (revenue) for Sportsbook.ag. In return, they'll give you points -- 1 point for every $.10 you pay, in fact. Your will earn your bonus at the rate of $1 per every 75 VIP points that you earn, and your bonus will be released to you in $5 increments. You'll have 90 days to complete your bonus from the date that you make your deposit.

Ace High VIP Program

Another promotion you should be aware of is Sportsbook's Ace High VIP program. This program has 13 tiers, starting with the card value "2" and ending with the highest tier, "A" high. To move up in tiers you'll need to play real money games and earn VIP points.

While you're on tiers 2 through 6, you'll be able to participate in freerolls. The prize pools for these tournaments get bigger the higher up in tiers you go.

Starting on tier 7 you'll also have the opportunity to exchange points for cash. The maximum you can exchange points for is $900 (on the ace high tier).

There is one important thing to keep in mind about the tiers -- when you earn a tier it's yours for good. However, if you go without playing for 60+ days your points will start to decay. So it's possible to drop in tiers to the point to where you're starting over from scratch. So what you'll want to do is log-in every so often and play a few hands to generate some rake for the room. That way you avoid losing your points, not to mention your benefits.

Those are the largest promotions running at Sportsbook.ag. You'll want to visit Sportsbook.ag for all of their time-sensitive promos.

Playing Poker at Sportsbook.ag for Real Money

Sportsbook.ag offers real money games to players all over the world, including players living in the United States. The exception to this are the handful of states that have very strict laws regarding gambling. Sportsbook.ag excludes these states from signing up to their site altogether.

If that doesn't stop you then your first step to playing at Sportsbook for real money is to create an account. Just visit their site, choose between their PC or Mac software and click download. The software will download to your computer and you'll be prompted to create an account. Fill in your name, email, address and screen name and your account will be set-up. It should only take you a couple of minutes from start to finish.

The last step you need to take before you can play for real money is to fund your account. The banking options you have will depend on where you live. A couple of methods I know are available include Visa, Mastercard and bank wires, but you'll want to log-in to see what's available to you. Withdrawals can be made using gift cards and checks.

If you have any questions about creating an account, making a deposit, etc you can visit their huge FAQs page. You're sure to find your answer here. If not, you can contact Sportsbook.ag using live chat, phone or their contact form (on their site).
