Do You have a Black Card?
Full Tilt Poker brought the Black Card to prove that they really are to be considered one of the top Texas Holdem sites available on the web. Essentially, it is a collection of perks given to high volume players. Such extras include double Full Tilt Points, personalized customer service, and an exclusive Black Card store. Those accepted into this club will receive a Black Card in the mail.
Access to this exclusive club requires players to put in consistent hours of poker on their Full Tilt download. To get into the club, players must earn an average of 500 Full Tilt Points over 100 days. Another way to look at it is 50k Full Tilt Points over 100 days. This is no easy task, especially for microstakes players. For those playing slightly higher, there is a hidden benefit in this requirement: the Fulltiltpoker download does not make their players wait a year to receive their rewards.
The most important store item for players on download free poker sites is usually cash bonuses. The Black Card store has bonuses between $50 and $2,000 for sale, and each bonus is available after paying a set number of Full Tilt Points. An unfortunate feature of this new program is that the cash is not available for use right away. Players need to clear the bonus by playing real money games, and the rate of clearance is $0.04/Full Tilt Point. This is similar to earning a bonus after a PokerStars marketing code is used. Each bonus expires after 90 days.
As mentioned, Black Card members also receive double the Full Tilt Points at all tables and personalized customer support. Every hand played under a Black Card membership will earn you twice as many Full Tilt Points. During Happy Hour, you will earn so many points that you won’t want to play on any poker flash sites. When it comes to the special customer service, welcome emails are sent to inboxes and black cards are sent to mailing addresses. Be sure to hang on to your Black Card because it has the email address of your personal customer support rep. I haven’t heard of any of the other Mac poker sites giving their players dedicated support members.
It seems to me that Full Tilt introduced this promotion to compete with Supernova, which is found on a PokerStars, one of the best US poker sites online. Possibly the best part of the Black Card is that it can be earned in as little as a few months. Supernova status takes an entire year to earn! It’s still a new promo, though, so we’ll see how it all pans out in the end.
