Terms & Conditions for Bonuses and Promotions

This section covers Player participation in any promotional programs, such as free bonus for sign-up and monthly bonus awards to frequent players. Management is pleased to award bonuses to eligible Players under the following terms and conditions:

1. Purpose. Bonuses are awarded in good faith by Management as an incentive to try real money play or as a token of appreciation for loyal Players who return on a regular basis. They are only intended for Players who use the games for entertainment purposes and will be revoked, denied or withdrawn from Players who abuse the spirit of this offer.

    

2. Eligibility. Participation is limited to Players who are of Legal Age pursuant to applicable law within their local Jurisdiction. If you are in a Jurisdiction with prohibitions against real-money gaming, you are not eligible to receive bonuses. Due to current gaming regulations, Players from some locations will be automatically prevented from participating. However, it is the responsibility of each Player to abide by the laws and regulations of his or her local Jurisdiction. If you do not receive an expected bonus, it may be because of jurisdictional restrictions.

    

3. Limitation. Bonuses (whether one-time, sign-up, special promotion, loyalty or any other type) are limited to once per combination of: a person, family, household, geographic address, mailing address, email address, credit card number and shared computer environment (such as a library or workplace). This limitation applies across all affiliations, subsidiaries and partnerships of the House. If an affiliated gaming site is running the same promotion, an individual person cannot receive the same promotion from both sites.

    

4. Exclusivity. Bonuses may not be combined or used in conjunction with any other promotion program unless specifically stated in the bonus offer.

    

5. Requirements.
   1. Valid Real Money Player Account. You must have a valid real money player account in good standing to receive any bonus. You must register to open an account and provide all requested information truthfully and accurately. No account that contains false or misleading information or that is inactive, suspended or closed will be eligible for any bonus.

       

   2. Qualifying Deposit. A qualifying deposit is required in order to make your player account eligible to earn bonuses. There is no minimum deposit amount, other than the minimums already applicable to each payment method. Player-to-Player transfers do not qualify as deposits.

       

   3. Adding Bonuses. Upon successful registration, all new players are automatically credited with $100 Welcome Bonus. The status of this and all other bonuses can be obtained by clicking on the Bonus button within the software or Bonus Account from the My Account page. In order to obtain other bonuses, you may obtain new Bonus Codes via promotion emails from Everest Poker, print and online advertisements and other sources. By entering these bonus codes on your Bonus Account page, you can add these new bonuses to your account. Multiple bonuses can be queued so that once you earn the first bonus in its entirety you will automatically begin earning the next bonus in your queue. However, not all player accounts will be eligible for all bonuses.

       

   4. Earning Bonuses. Once you have met all the requirements, the first available bonus in your account will become Active. Bonuses are earned one at a time, in chronological order according to the date when the bonus was added to your account. While some bonuses may be released to your account immediately upon adding the bonus code, most bonuses are earned by accumulating Summit Points in qualifying real money play.

       

   5. Qualifying Play. Summit Points obtained through play at raked real money tables and by paying real money to cover entry fees to single- and multi-table tournaments are eligible to be counted toward the earning of bonuses. Summit Points credited to your account for free play or won in Summit Points tables or tournaments are not counted toward bonuses.

       

   6. Expiration. Bonuses are awarded on a limited-time basis. Unless otherwise stated in the offer, Players have up to 30 days from the date of the award to earn the bonus through qualifying play. Any unearned portion of the bonus remaining after 30 days will be forfeited. The expiration dates of all bonuses are clearly displayed on your Bonus Account page.

    

6. Types of Bonuses.
   1. Incremental Bonus. This is the standard type of bonus at Everest Poker. Our $100 Welcome Bonus, $50 Refer-a-Friend Bonus, and prizes won in our $500 Bonus Freeroll are all Incremental Bonuses. This means that the Bonus Dollars are converted to real money in incremental amounts and credited to your real money balance as you earn it. Through qualifying play at a real money table or tournament, you will earn Summit Points. When you leave the table or complete a tournament, Everest Poker will move $0.07 of your Incremental Bonus to your real money balance for every one (1) Summit Point you earn. For example, if you earn 100 Summit Points at a real money table, you will be credited with $7.00 of your bonus after you stand up from the table. Please visit our Summit Points page for more information on how to earn Summit Points.

       

   2. Immediate Bonus. An Immediate Bonus is one which is automatically released to your account as soon as it is added, provided that your account meets the basic requirements defined above. There are no additional requirements which you need to meet in order to receive this bonus.

       

   3. Lump Sum Bonus. This is a bonus which is awarded in its entirety once the earning requirements have been met. For example, a bonus may have a requirement of 200 Summit Points. Once this bonus becomes Active, you have to earn all 200 Summit Points before the bonus expires in order to have it credited to your account. You will not be credited with a portion of the bonus for each Summit Point you earn.

    

7. Use. Bonus amounts in your Bonus Account may not be cashed out or used for wagers; however they may be earned and credited to your through qualified real money play. Any bonus that is earned may be used in further play or cashed out at any time. Bonuses may not be exchanged, traded or transferred to other accounts.

    

8. Void Where Prohibited. Bonuses and real money games are subject to any and all applicable laws. Bonuses and real money play are void where prohibited. It is the responsibility of Players to abide by the laws and regulations of their local jurisdictions.

    

9. Abuse. Players must play as individuals and in the spirit of enjoying the real-money games as fun and exciting entertainment. Players may not abuse the promotions by creating multiple Player accounts or acting as part of a syndicate to defraud the House or other players. Any Player deemed by Management to be attempting to abuse the promotions will be banned from all games at this and all affiliated sites for life. Decisions regarding abuse will be made solely by Management and all decisions are final. Management may and will ban Players without indicating the reason.

    

10. Conditional Offer. Management reserves the right to end any promotional offer at any time, without providing notice, reason or justification. Management also reserves the right to deny a bonus, or a series of bonuses, or a bonus program, to any Player or any group of Players, at any time, without providing notice, reason or justification.
