Cake Poker Bonus

Cake offer an excellent 110% first time deposit bonus and the ability to get up to 33% rakeback on the site means that regular players comfortably accrue a healthy amount of auxiliary profit.

Cake’s loyalty programme is based on a Gold Chip system. Players are awarded 1 frequent player point (FPP) for every $1 staked in ring games and 7 FPPs for every $1 paid in tournament juice. While this system is pretty standard across many loyalty schemes, what is refreshing to see is that Cake are keen to give every player, even the micro stakes, guys some added value.

Their motto is “every point spent is a point earned” and for players grinding the lowest limits the opportunity to amass a lot of FPPs is still possible.

For example, if total amount of rake on a particular pot comes to $1.25 then not only does the dollar count towards the FPPs awarded so does the 25 cents; thus, a player will receive 1.25 FPPs. This decimalisation of FPPs allows lower stakes players to gain maximum value for their time at the tables.

Once a player reaches 120 FPPs they are awarded a gold chip and from that point on each gold chip is earned at a descending rate of FPPs (115 FPPs for 2nd chip through to 7th+ chip for 70 FPPs). Once a player accumulates a bullion of gold chips they can buy clothing, tournament tickets (both for online and live events), games consoles and electronic items.

In addition to their regular loyalty programme Cake have implemented a Gold Card promotion whereby players are randomly awarded a gold playing card when the rake is taken from the pot. The assignment of who and what cards is totally random and dependent on the amount of rake taken.

Each card has a different value according to their denomination and as cards become older and scarcer they become more valuable. The system is based on the popular American baseball card culture and gives players a little something extra for their time at the tables.

Everyday Cake runs a Gold Card Lottery and if you can match your gold cards with the sequence of cards drawn you can win anything from entry into one of their tournaments, cash or even a WSOP ticket. A weekly leader board is also in place and the top ten gold card earners receive a cash prize ranging from $500 to $110. Additionally, the first player to collect and entire deck of 52 gold cards receives a cash prize of $52k.

Cake poker clearly understand that players are increasingly looking for something extra when they play and no hassle bonuses like this mean that playing at Cake is definitely a +EV proposition.
