- Saturday, 4 Mar 2006
Recently, many online gambling sites have realized that they must reward their loyal players more. Land-based gambling venues do this by giving their players comp points based on how long they play and how much money they play with. Internet-based gambling sites have developed loyalty programs which work in a similar fashion. In addition to loyalty bonuses, online gambling sites are also starting to offer their players great prize giveaways.
Online poker room TouchStone Poker has just launched its Player Points program which rewards its gambling fans for their loyalty to the poker room. Player points can be redeemed for all sorts of prizes including a Beer Fridge, Poker 101 DVDs and even a huge Plasma Screen Television.
Playing poker for real and playing for fun are two entirely separate kind of games. On one hand, when players play for free, they are often very aggressive players because they know they can always refill their "fun money" balance. On the other hand, gambling enthusiasts who are just getting into "play for real" poker games tend to be much more conservative when they are new at playing and therefore don't win as often.
Players new to the play for real money games need a little extra help. That is why TouchStone Poker launched the Player Points program. In addition to getting a 100% deposit bonus when players make their first deposit to the gambling site, TouchStone Poker is offering its players 25 Player Points free. This way, new "play for real money" bettors can learn how to play at a much lower risk than with actual real cash on the table, but with enough incentive to create a sense of excitement to mirror a play for real money environment. | |
