We are happy to announce the addition of PKR to the Two Plus Two poker book bonus program. Here are details for the exclusive offer of 5 free 2+2 poker books and PKR $120% sign-up bonus up to $800.

If you have any questions regarding the book bonus please review the bonus FAQ, and then contact bonus support if you need additional assistance.

PKR Sarah is our room rep who will be watching for and answering any questions you may have about the site.

Hi Kiera, I just noticed on the PKR bonus page the description under Free Poker Books says:

You might want to change that "3,5000" to "3,500".

Hello all, and many thanks Kiera!

Thanks James, you are the best. fixed.

Haha I just thought it was a really difficult bonus. 3,500 ($35 of rake) is all good. Thanks James you are indeed the best ;D

I thought I was just being a nit!

How frequently do you get updates from PKR?

Hi there Rhino. Are you referring to software updates, forum updates or something else? I'll be glad to help if you can clarify the question.

Regards,

Sarah

I was referring to 2+2 getting updates on meeting the PKR requirement. Having said that, this was posted approx 10 days ago. In that time, the update was passed to 2+2, who emailed me to select my books, I selected, they shipped and the box arrived here (in Australia) yesterday. If only all customer service was that smooth! Thanks to all.

On the PKR cash bonus thing - I didn't realise (not sure if my bad for not reading the T&C properly or if it wasn't cleared) that it had to be earned in one go - all at the end, which basically means there isn't much point in me playing PKR, as the traffic is too low for me to meet the bonus, so I may as well revert to where the traffic is. Not sure if you have any comments on that Sarah.

Certainly the Australian market is more of an 'emerging' one for us and our cash game liquidity is more concentrated at Euro-friendly times, for sure. But with certain tournaments and promotions aimed at Australian time zones, we're looking for an increase in the coming 12 months. As for the 'lump sum v incremental bonus' debate, the majority of our players seem to prefer the lump sum bonus structure, so it's the option we've settled on for now at least. We are looking at the possibility of offering a choice of lump or increment in future however.

Best of luck at the tables, Rhino.

Can anyone tell me rouhgly how many hands i have to play to clear the book bonus if playing NL 2 ?

Hello, I have an existing account on PKR that i made a while ago. I never made a real money deposit.

Will i be eligible to do the 2+2 bonus book program if i make my first deposit with the bonus code 2plus2 ?

Best regards.

yeah baby

indeed

Whe will PKR be open to US players? UIGIA not allowimg?

I have an old pkr account i haven't used in a while, can i open an account and return to pkr under this offer? It would be the sole reason i was returning, thanks

Hi, is this offer still available?
Can you just describe what i have to do and what the bonus exactly is. Thanks

PKR Rep sarah... are you out there...????

Hi Iwillsuceed,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I am afraid that you are only able to have one PKR account, so unfortunately you couldnt take advantage of this offer.

Ralph, the offer is still available and details can be found here:

I hope this information helps you.

Hi Sarah,

I thought about getting that poker bonus offer. However, will I also get the 30% rakeback that many affiliates are offering ?

And does that come on top of what I can buy with the points I'm earning during play or how does that work ?

There also seems to be some confusion if the formula for rakeback is rakeback = rake x 30% - bonus or rakeback = (rake - bonus) x 30%. Can you clarify ?

Basically what I am asking above is if we get:

+ books
+ bonus
+ point for shop
+ rakeback
+ freerolls etc as advertised on pkr.com

or if some of these eliminates the others.

And as far as I understand the bonus is all or nothing - so we have to estimate roughly how big a bonus we can clear with a safety margin and then settle for that rather than take the full amount and get nothing ?

And the last question. Is the signup bonus 100% or 120% up to $800 ?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ohep, thanks for getting in touch.

- the 2+2 PKR signup bonus is 120% up to $800
- RB will be (rake - bonus) x 30%. Any bonus achieved will be deducted from net rake before a rakeback calculation is made (ie. if you rake $1,000 but your $800 bonus is released, your net rake is $200 and rakeback @ 30% is $60

And as far as I understand the bonus is all or nothing - so we have to estimate roughly how big a bonus we can clear with a safety margin and then settle for that rather than take the full amount and get nothing ?

Bonus are paid once the full PKR Points requirement has been met - not incrementally. So you should calculate a suitably sized bonus/points requirements rather than simply going for the maximum $800. You have 60 days to achieve the PKR Points requirements.

Basically what I am asking above is if we get:

+ books
+ bonus
+ point for shop
+ rakeback
+ freerolls etc as advertised on pkr.com

or if some of these eliminates the others.

Any PKR Points earned will be credited to your Points balance and be available for use in the PKR Shop, even if they are still used towards a bonus. We just keep track of how many you have earned and release your bonus once the requirement has been reached. If you spend any points during that time, they have still contributed towards your bonus requirement. You can check your bonus progress any time in the cashier.

Bonuses and rakeback do not affect your access to freerolls, the PKR Shop etc.

Hope that helps. Best of luck at the tables.

PS - I've taken over from PKR Sarah in addressing any PKR related queries here. I don't know if a mod can adjust my 'stranger' tag to 'PKR rep'? Or let me know who to email. Thanks.

Hi Danski,

Thanks for your prompt reply, Most of it is clear now, though I think 4 things still remain a bit unclear to me.

There is no relationship between points and rakeback. You get both points that can be used in the shop and rakeback directly to your account. So the true return for paying the rake is higher than the 30% rakeback.

Second, do you need to do something special to get the rakeback or do you get it automatically when depositing ?

Third, do the points earned count both towards the books and towards the signup bonus at the same time or which one is to be earned first ?

And last (at least for now), what value do the books have in your rakeback calculation, if any (they are also a bonus, I presume) ?

Thanks again.

Hi Danski,
I was wondering if there are going to be any promotions for cash-game players because almost all of the promotions are for tournaments. Something like a rakerace or rakechase could be very interesting.
Let me know if you guys have something like that planned!
Best Regards,
VV

Hi there. Sorry to have confused you in my earlier post - my head was not screwed on correctly that day. If you take advantage of the 2+2 signup bonus, you will be affiliated to 2+2, and there is no rakeback available with that offer as far as I know. That will also precude you from using another affiliate. So you won't be able to get the books and rakeback. Sorry about that.

In terms of earning points towards the bonus and the book, the points count towards both simultaneously. The bonus and the book are not prioritised or related. Once you have earned 3,500 PKR Points, 2+2 will contact you re:books. If your bonus requires 7,000 PKR Points to be earned, you're already half way there too.

As for the value of the books, I have no idea I'm afraid. The books are provided by 2+2, so it's not in our own calculation.

If you have any other questions, feel free to email me at community@pkr.com for a more rapid response.

Thanks, and best of luck at the tables.

Hi there. Sorry for the delay in my reply. We don't offer rake races at the moment, but we are working on some interesting developments for release in 2012 which should be of interest to all levels of cash gamer. When we know more in the New Year, we'll post it on the site.
