Winner Poker Bonus Code

By signing up for a real money account at Winner Poker and entering bonus code OPO players will be eligible for the Winner Poker first deposit bonus. This is a 100% bonus worth up to $600. This is a pending bonus, meaning that players will have to play in real money cash games and/or tournaments in order to convert the bonus dollars into cash.

Bonus dollars are converted in increments of $10. You'll need to earn 1,000 points for every $10 converted. You'll have a total of three months to convert your bonus dollars into cash, and any remaining bonus dollars that haven't been converted at this point will expire.

Winner Poker Software

Winner Poker offers free downloadable software that is compatible with the Windows operating system. Basic system requirements are as follows:

  • 500 MHz CPU
  • 512 MB of RAM
  • 16 MB Video Card with 800x600 monitor resolution
  • 56k internet connection (broadband recommended)

In addition, Winner Poker offers an Instant Play version of their poker room that is accessible to Mac, Windows and Linux users. The software itself is easy to navigate. The Winner Poker lobby provides detailed information about each table, including the room name, stakes, number of seated players, average pot size, flop ratio, waiting time and hands-per-hour.

Game Variety

Winner Poker hosts a variety of poker game types, which can be played in no-limit, pot limit and fixed limit betting structures. Texas Holdem is the most popular game at Winner Poker, though the large player base ensures that it will be easy to find a different game type as well. The game types at Winner Poker include the following:

  • Texas Holdem

  • Omaha Hi Lo

Loyalty Rewards

Winner Poker offers a special VIP Club for their loyal players. Through this program, you'll earn points by playing real money raked hands of poker. Each month, Winner Poker will assess your point total to determine your VIP level, ranging from Classic (1,000 points) up to Zenith (500,000 points yearly). By earning a higher VIP level, you'll gain access to freerolls, a VIP race, and the Winner Shop store. In addition, you'll be eligible for a monthly pending bonus. This ranges from $50 at the Ace level up to $850 at the Zenith level.

In addition, you'll be able to convert some or all of your points into additional cash rewards. By saving your points and redeeming them in larger chunks, you can achieve a better points-to-cash ratio. For example, 10,000 points can be redeemed for $50 cash, equaling 200 points per dollar. 100,000 points can be converted into $1,500 cash, lowering the exchange rate to only 66.67 points per dollar.
