PKR.Com Poker Deposit Bonus
PKR.Com offers two deposit bonus programs for new PKR.Com players. You can only choose one of the two deposit bonus programs, and only one member per household is eligible.
The first deposit bonus offer from PKR is the 100 % matching deposit bonus where you can deposit between $10.00 and $800.00. These matching deposit funds are released to your account as soon as you earn the required amount of PKR Points. You have to accumulate 225 PKR Points for each $1.00 of bonus within 60 days to earn the bonus and they do not pay partial bonuses.
The second deposit bonus program is more for the casual player and gives you a $10.00 account credit as soon as you make a deposit of at least $10.00 and accumulate only 1 PKR Point. You have only 24 hours to earn this 1 PKR Point.
Both of these deposit bonus programs also get you an additional five free $500.00 daily Premium Free Roll Tickets and one $1,000.00 Premium Free Roll Ticket. You also get 1,500 PKR Points right away with both of these deposit bonus programs but these can not be used towards the points needed to qualify for the matching deposit bonus.
PKR Poker Rewards Program
The PKR Poker rewards program is called Club PKR and it has 6 levels. They are:
- Member
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
- Platinum
- Diamond
A unique part of Club PKR is than once you achieve a level you never lose it. Most other sites require that you earn your status level every month but at Club PKR you never lose the level that you have reached, even if you take some time off from the game.
The Club PKR Rewards Program revolves around PKR Points. PKR Points are earned every time you play poker for real money at PKR.Com. As it is with other site’s Rewards programs, you are able to use your PKR Points to buy merchandise in the PKR Shop and to buy Tournament tickets.
I’ve also seen other sites giving special VIP perks at the higher levels, like the free subscription to Stacked Magazine.
You can even use your PKR Poker Points to get your own PKR Face. When you get your own PKR face they will use 3D modeling state of the art technology to create a scarily real looking rendering of your head and face that you can add to your avatar. You can also use your PKR Points to buy clothes, jewelry and tattoos for your avatar.
PKR com Poker Games Available
The three most popular variants of poker that are played in globally today are Texas holdem, Omaha, and Omaha 8. These are the three poker variations that you will find on PKR com.
PKR.Com Progressive Jackpot Tables
PKR.Com does not presently offer a progressive poker jackpot, like a bad beat or a royal flush jackpot. This appears to be a management choice because with the software backbone that Playtech provides it is certainly not an insurmountable challenge. It is important to realize that even at the sites, that offer tables with a progressive jackpot, there are only a limited number of jackpot tables available and certainly the majority of their games are non jackpot.
PKR Poker Stakes and Limits
In PKR’s Ring Games they offer limit games from $0.01/$0.02 up to $100/$200 and pot limit or no limit games from $0.01/$0.02 up to $5/$10.
PKR.com Poker Tournaments
When PKR.com first started out they did not offer a very good selection of poker tournaments. But now they have a very strong tournament program. Some of the tournament types available at PKR.com include:
- Private Tournaments – With the Private Tournament feature you can hold a tournament that is exclusive to the players that you invite.
- Double Thru Tournaments – These are the same as the Double or Nothing tournaments that you find on other sites.
- Break Thru Tournaments – These are like Double or Nothing tournaments however there are 12 players and the top 4 players triple their money.
- Double and Triple Chance Tournaments – These are and interesting kind of tournament. You start out with a stack of chips and you have one or two remaining stacks for when you want to put them on the table. Because of this and early all in bad beat would not knock you out of the tournament.
- Re-Buy and Add-On Tournaments – These are where you can re-buy one or more times during the early rounds of the tournament and when you can buy an add-on at the end of the re-buy period.
- PKR Points Tournaments – These tournaments are a great opportunity because you get to win real money through tournaments that you gain entry to with PKR Points that you earn.
- Play Money Tournaments – These are tournaments where you do not play for real money.
- Heads Up, Six and Ten Handed Tournaments – These are two, six, and ten player sit & go tournaments.
- Deep Stack, Regular, Speed, and Turbo Tournaments – Deep Stack tournaments start every player out with a much larger amount of chips than Regular tournaments. Speed and Turbo tournaments advance the blind and ante levels a quicker rate than tournaments run at the regular speed.
- Holdem, Omaha, and Omaha Hi Lo Split Tournaments – PKR tournaments are held in the three most popular poker variants.
- Phase Tournaments – Other sites usually call these step tournaments and you have to win several step levels to get in to the money.
- Terminator Tournaments – These are called Bounty tournaments at most other sites. There are PKR sponsored pros in these tournaments and any player that knocks one of them out of the tournament wins a bounty.
- Multi Table Tournaments – Tournaments with more than one table.
- Sit & Go Tournaments – Tournaments that run all day and start when the required number of players register.
- Free Roll Tournaments – These are tournaments where there is no entry fee and they still have cash prizes.
- Satellite Tournaments – These are tournaments that pay off with tournament tickets to larger tournaments.
- Guaranteed Prize Money Tournaments – These are scheduled tournaments where the prize pool is guaranteed to be at least a certain amount.
PKR Double or Nothing Tournaments
If you like playing in Double or Nothing Sit and Go tournaments then you might want to check out this site because PKR does offer them and they call them “Double Thru” tournaments. Just like Double or Nothing Sit and Go tournaments, which are single table ten player tournaments where the tournament ends when there are five players remaining and then each of the five players doubles their money. And, of course, players that finish in 6th through 10th place get nothing.
Now PKR does have a similar kind of a tournament that they call “Break Thru” tournaments. These are two six handed table tournaments where the top third each get paid 25 % or the total prize pool and thereby tripling their investment.
PKR Poker Deposit Methods and Languages
There are plenty of ways to deposit money at PKR including VISA and Master Card, electronic check, bank transfer, Neteller, MoneyBookers, and more.
PKR.Com Poker Is Available in the Following Languages
- English
- Danish
- German
- Spanish
- Finnish
- French
- Italian
- Dutch
- Norwegian

The Software at PKR
PKR prides themselves on their graphics. This is really no surprise because the company was founded by the English game programmer and entrepreneur Jeremy ‘Jez’ San. It is certainly the most elaborate online poker gaming experience. It is like a mix of real money poker action and a video game.
PKR.Com Customer Service
They have an excellent customer service team at PKR.Com. The support team is available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. You can reach them at any time through Live Chat or by E-Mail. The staff is friendly and helpful so you can call them whenever you need something but you should also check out their extensive FAQ section because it may already have the answer that you need.
PKR Poker Players
It is possible that because of the video game qualities of this site there are a lot more casual players and fewer professional grinders. This site appears to have some very easy competition making it a very lucrative place to play. It is not unheard of, at the lower limit tables to find pots grow to as much as 40 to 60 times the big blind so I guess you could say that the overall make up of the players is pretty loose.
PKR.com and Playtech
PKR.com uses the software and backend provided by Playtech Software for its casino operation. Playtech is the parent company of the iPoker Network. The iPoker Network has grown so large that it is constantly battling Party Gaming for the third highest network player volume. This is a pretty amazing statistic considering that the entire iPoker
