Earning WHPoints William Hill Poker awards WHPoints to every hand that is raked and every real money tournament that is played. The amount of WHPoints awarded to a player is dependent upon the amount of the rake taken or the tournaments fees paid. In simple language, the more you play the more you gain! Earning WHPoints at Real Money Tables Like in other games, the amount of WHPoints awarded to players is based upon the sum of the rake they paid to play. As the rake increases, so does the amount of WHPoints players can accumulate. Rake Range Points $0.01 - $0.02 0.1 $0.03 - $0.05 0.25 $0.06 - $0.1 0.35 $0.11 - $0.20 0.5 $0.25 - $0.50 1.25 $0.55 - $0.75 2.25 $0.80 - $1.00 3 $1.05 - $1.25 4 $1.30 - $1.50 4.75 $1.55 - $1.75 5.5 $1.80 - $2.00 6.5 $2.05 - $2.25 7.25 $2.30 - $2.50 8 $2.55 - $2.75 10 $2.80 - $3.00 12 $3.01 - $5.00 16 WHPoints in Tournaments In all real money tournaments, William Hill Poker lavishes you with WHPoints for every dollar you spend in tournament fees. In general, we give away 20 WHPoints for every $1 spent in fees. http://www.onlinegamblingportal.co.uk/williamhillpoker.html 14 Dec 2009 00:32:55 GMT Bonus Release Payments Bonuses are awarded to players on the basis that they earn enough WHPoints at online ring-games and Poker tournaments WHPoints are released to players for every hand that they play. It does not matter how much is contributed to the pot or whether or not blinds were made by the player, as long as the hand is raked. The rake taken at ring games or the buy-in at Poker tournaments is what determines the amount of WHPoints awarded to players. The amount of WHPoints earned is what determines the size of the bonus, which is further appropriated to the currency used. In general, $5 bonus is credited to the player’s balance each time 350 WHPoints are earned. The player’s bonus account is credited in $5 increments immediately after the required WHPoints are accumulated. WHPoints continue to be released to the player’s bonus account as he/she continues to play Poker at the William Hill website. No bonuses will be released to the player’s account until all the WHPoints are accumulated. Details of a player’s WHPoints account and balance can be viewed under the “My Account” section of the William Hill Poker software lobby. The WHPoints that a player earns can be redeemed for free money that can be used in other promotions offered by William Hill Poker, as long as it is written so. The WHPoints required for a specific bonus must be earned within 30 days of qualifying in order to receive it. Instant Bonus Payments Instant Bonuses are awarded to players on the basis that they earn enough WHPoints prior to making a withdrawal. Before making a withdrawal players must accumulate 600 points for every $5 instant bonus awarded. If a player withdraws their deposit and/or any winnings before meeting the WHPoints requirement any bonus remaining in the account will be removed. William Hill Poker reserves the right to cancel or alter these offers at any given time and without warning. http://www.onlinegamblingportal.co.uk/williamhillpoker.html 14 Dec 2009 00:34:25 GMT William Hill Poker is proud to launch our NEW Super Series Tournaments, now adding GBP (£) cash prizes to every tournament!
