RedKings Poker Bonus

Red Kings VIP system is a seven tiered affair which in my opinion is way too elaborate.

The amount of increasing benefits is so thinly spread that there is little difference between someone at the first level and someone at the third or fourth. The benefits are designed to increase the further you progress but overall the benefits are a little lackluster and seem to stretch the term “reward” to the fullest extent.

For instances, the ability to transfer funds between players is a reward given to players who are Silver status (level two) and above. This feature is common on nearly every site and isn’t something players perceive as a benefit but as a necessity. Every player receives tickets to weekly freerolls.

However, these are only $100 guarantees and are offered to even the highest ranking players, who certainly aren’t going to waste their time battling through thousands of players for a few dollars when they likely make thousands a week.

Things do get a little better when you hit the top two levels (Diamond and Royal VIP). In addition to a VIP manager, personal MSN contact and a concierge service to make your playing experience as smooth as possible, you can also represent Team Red Kings. Becoming a member of Team Red Kings gains you celebrity status (on the site) as well as a chance to play for the site at major live events across the globe.

The site’s shop offers a decent range of products as well as the ability to purchase gift vouchers, tournament tickets and bonuses. By exchanging points for gift vouchers you can bag yourself some instant cash or you can choose to create yourself a bonus (of any amount you want) and work towards accruing enough points to release the bonus.

Points can also buy you tournament tickets, for example: 30 crowns = $1 tourney ticket, 800 crowns = $30 ticket. 25000 crowns = $1000 ticket. This is essentially a free buy-in to various tournaments and provides a great way to win some cash for nothing.

While these options are good it doesn’t detract from the fact that the passive rewards earned through the loyalty scheme are pretty stingy.

The site runs various promotions from time to time including a $10 bonus if you’re dealt red pocket kings and a $50 bonus if you lose at a showdown with red pocket kings. Overall the extra incentives are fair but are not going to set the world or your bankroll alight.
