Two new promotions from Full Tilt Poker

Over the past week, as the FTOPS XXIII came to a finish, Full Tilt Poker has announced two new promotions running at the site. The first promotion is called “Build Your Bonus” where players can earn up to $400 in a mixture of an instant bonus and a clearable deposit bonus. The second promotion is the “Satellite Hero” promotion where players can earn free entries into mini-FTOPS XXIII tournaments.

Build Your Bonus Promotion

There is still another week to go if you want to opt-in to Full Tilt Poker’s Build Your Bonus promotion. Here is how it works:

• Step 1: Opt in

Starting on Friday, August 9th, players were able to opt-in to the Build Your Bonus promotion via your My Promotions page. The last day to opt in is Saturday, August 24th.

• Step 2: Build Your Bonus

Once you have opted-in you must earn at least one Full Tilt Point on five days or more during the Build Your Bonus qualifying period –Monday, August 19^th  through Wednesday, August 28^th

The amount of bonus money you will be eligible is determined by the number of points you earn during qualification:

From here it gets a little tricky, so I’ll let the FTP website take over:

At the end of the qualifying period, 40% of your total bonus will be automatically credited to your account in cash, with the remaining bonus released in three equal chunks as your earn Full Tilt Points during the bonus clearing period.

For every day you earn a Full Tilt Point during the qualifying period you will have a day to clear your bonus money. For example, if you earn one or more Full Tilt Point(s) on eight separate days you will have the first eight days of the bonus clearing period – taking place between Thursday, August 29th and Saturday, September 7th – to release your full bonus.

• Step 3: Release Your Bonus

The 60% that was turned into bonus dollars will have to be cleared by playing at the Full Tilt Poker tables.

Satellite Hero Promotion

From August 19^th through September 1^st players at Full Tilt Poker can take part in the Satellite Hero promotion, which will reward any player who wins a satellite into any tournament on the site with a buy-in of $1 or more, and then goes on to win said tournament.

So what is the prize? Every person accomplishing the above detailed feat will win an entry into the Satellite Hero Freeroll Tournament that will be held on Full Tilt Poker on September 7^th. Players accomplishing this feat multiple times will receive larger starting stacks in the Satellite Hero Freeroll Tournament.

The Top 126 players in the Satellite Hero Freeroll Tournament will win an entry into a mini-FTOPS XXIII –the total prize-pool of these tickets is estimated to be around $3,000. Additionally, the winner of the tournament will get a crack at Full Tilt Poker Pro Gus Hansen in a heads-up match. The Satellite Hero winner will receive a 2:1 chip advantage over the Great Dane and if they are able to beat Hansen they will receive an entry into every mini-FTOPS XXIII tournament on the schedule.
