Please remember to clear your cookies before downloading the site
Current Bonus Code : apfbook
100% up to $500. For your poker bonus, $1 is cleared for every 10 qualified raked hands. A qualified raked hand (QRH) defined as when a player is dealt cards and the pot (whether or not he is involved in the hand) reaches $1. Partial credit for a QRH is given as well, for example if the pot reaches .50 cents the player is credited for half a QRH.
Note : All deposits go through the sportsbook cashier. When you transfer the money to your poker account, please notify customer service that you would like to opt into the poker bonus. This is by emailing : support@bookmaker.com.
As a brand new player at Bookmaker, you are also eligible to participate in one of the daily New Player Sit & Go Tournaments, where you can win up to $40 real cash, without even making a deposit! Select the tab that says "Sit & Go List" from tables in the Bookmaker Poker lobby, then look for an open "Newbie Special Freeroll", simply right click and select Register. Note : Money won in a "Newbie Special Freeroll" can only be used to play at ring games.
Our full updated review can be found on our main Alternate Poker site : BookMaker Poker Review
Extra Bonus Information :
There is now a loyalty program that rewards members for playing with Bookmaker.com. You earn "BetPoints" every time you bet or play sports, casino or poker. BetPoints accumulate in your BookMaker account and can be redeemed in exchange for rewards such as cash back, gift cards, airline miles, BookMaker merchandise, etc
Any questions, comments or information about this room should be posted here.
We will also make note of any major changes to our review in this thread.
You can also look at some quick stats from our featured rooms in Online Rooms
Cashout Information
I would advise that everyone use cheques as all the other withdrawal methods carry of fee of varying amoounts. Yes, i know this takes a little longer but apparantly in the US, cheques are usually received in a few days (and a good withdrawal method for you guys) and obviously it will take just a bit longer for those of us overseas.
This doesn't mean you can't use the other methods of course, but cheques are the free one. _________________

Update
BookMaker.com are currently offering a 100% poker deposit bonus up to $500 (see banner above) which i believe is running until February 8th, 2010 (i will confirm this).
Note : They used to have a feature where you could change your poker screen name but this has been disabled for the moment. I will look into whether this option will become available again.
Also, check out our upcoming forum games at BookMaker Poker here :

i have confirmed this and changed the top post accordingly. In fact the deposit bonus is standard when depositing directly into your poker account.
the deposit bonus i mentioned before was when depositing into your sportsbook account - silly me.  _________________

If you deposit at bookmaker and receive a bonus, does that prevent you from playing in the sportsbook? How does that work? I would like to receive a bonus but not be limited to one or the other.
Has anyone experienced the situation above? Thanks for any reply. _________________ A little birdie told me about this site! |

Has anyone played in the special newnie freerolls? I just don't see anything like that available in the sit and go section. Maybe if I look in the daytime the list will be updated. _________________ A little birdie told me about this site! |

no, i believe that you can move your funds around as you wish between the sportsbook, casino and poker accounts.
the only thing that will be effected is your poker bonus which will obviously need to be chased through the poker room as it is specifically attached to that. _________________

i have seen and played them.
i think they only have one active, so if there is a game going on, then it doesn't show in the lobby. once the game is over then that table opens up. _________________

| The $7,500 guaranteed is always fun because most of the players play seriously and not like morons, like in all the freerolls. |

| For example, the other day I went all in with pocket aces and some guy call with 6 7 off suit and they caught a two pair on the flop. |

Have you guys ever lost a hand while holding pocket aces? This is one of the most frustrating things in the world.  |

| The good thing is that everyone in the poker forum freeroll won't call an all in with 6 7 because we're smarter than that. |

lol funny you should say that. I did call an all-in with 6h 7h the other night.
In my defense it was on the flop (2 hearts on board) and it was a rebuy tourney. _________________

You see more of these types of calls on free rolls since there was no investment involved. I am left speechless from time to time. _________________ A little birdie told me about this site! |
