There is a bonus meter above the table while you play so you can see how many bonus / status points you have accumulated and how close you are to your next bonus.

So how much play to get a free $10 of Welcome Bonus?

We worked our maths genius formula and you need 100 Bonus Points in order to release each of the 888 Poker bonus $10 chunks, that would need you to contribute rake or fees of $50.

So how does this genius $10 formula work?

Unlike some sites, the 888 Poker welcome bonus is worked out in a straight forward fashion.  For every 100 Bonus  points you earn, $10 is released, for every $1 you create in fees or rake you get 2 points, so for 100 points and the free $10 you’d need to spend $50 on fees or rake, (100 / 2 = 50).

What else do new players get?
