If you think that poker sites do not appreciate your playing in their rooms you are mistaken. Most of the poker sites admit the fact and to show their appreciation when they offer loyalty bonus or VIP bonus to the regular players. The players receive cash or rewards for playing with the poker sites or playing tournaments with them. You can get real cash into your deposit after you play certain number of raked hands decided by the poker room. The best part of loyalty bonus is that you don’t have to make a deposit to earn this poker bonus. It is given purely as a prize from the poker sites.

Most of the times the loyalty bonus is 25% or 35% of the rakeback amount but if you play with higher amounts and larger number of hands you can get better loyalty points which is converted into loyalty bonus. Even in land based casinos you can get cash prizes for playing certain number of raked hands. The online poker sites may give a small amount of cash as loyalty bonus but it is free cash and it adds to your bankroll. You also start earning player’s points the moment you start playing. These points are useful for entering tournaments or acquiring freerolls or to buy poker objects from the online poker shops.

Poker sites also have a system of levels of loyalty points and the loyalty bonuses are given according to your level. If you have just entered the poker room obviously your loyalty points will be lower than those who have been playing at the site for a longer time. As you play regularly at a poker site you will graduate from level to level and will be awarded higher points for a specified amount of raked hands. Once you reach the highest level you will get VIP bonus as poker sites call it. The VIP bonus is a substantial amount and will boost your bankroll considerably.

The loyalty bonuses have a number of advantages. Firstly you don’t have to go from poker room to poker room in search of poker bonuses as you will do with your deposit bonus. These loyalty bonuses are paid to you on monthly basis so once you clear the bonus you don’t have to change the poker room. It also adds up to your bankroll and help you to play bigger hands or on bigger tournaments. Loyalty bonuses are not based on your losing or winning. It simply depends on how many raked hands you have played. So if you are losing some money you can make it up by cashing in the loyalty bonus.
