The Full Tilt Poker download brought the Black Card as a special thanks to players that put in many hours of poker. The players putting in the highest volumes will receive some extras that most other players don’t have access to. The extra benefits include access to the Black Card store, even more Full Tilt Points, and your very own customer service representative. As physical proof that they have been invited into such an exclusive club, each member will receive a physical Black Card in the mail.
It takes a lot of hours on your Full Tilt Poker download to get into the Black Card club. The Black Card requirement is a minimum of 500 Full Tilt Points averaged over 100 days. This basically means 50,000 Full Tilt Points must be earned over the course of 100 days. This is no easy task, especially for microstakes players. Unlike the highest VIP status on PokerStars, though, the Full Tilt Poker download doesn’t make it a requirement to earn this point average for an entire year before being accepted into the club.
When it comes to VIP stores on money poker sites, the items that get the most interest are usually cash bonuses. There are 5 Black Card cash bonuses available: $50, $100, $250, $500, and $2,000. Each bonus has a different Full Tilt Point price tag. Note that the cash is not immediately deposited into the real money account. Players are required to clear this bonus; for every Full Tilt Point earned, $0.04 of the bonus is cleared. Earning a bonus with a PokerStars bonus code is done in exactly the same way. Players will have a total of 90 days to clear the bonus.
Now what about the other perks mentioned, the extra Full Tilt Points and unique customer support? Every hand played under a Black Card membership will earn you twice as many Full Tilt Points. Why play at any of the other top Texas Hold’em sites when you can earn 3x the normal Full Tilt Points at the Happy Hour tables? As for personalized customer service, members all receive a personalized welcome email and Black Card. Be sure to hang on to your Black Card because it has the email address of your personal customer support rep. I’m pretty sure that this is the only of the US friendly poker sites that offers personalized support.
PokerStars download players have Supernova, Full Tilt download players have the Black Card. The best feature of the Black Card status is that you can earn it in a matter of 3 months. Supernova status takes an entire year to earn! It’s still a new promo, though, so we’ll see how it all pans out in the end.
