How to use the BetOnline promo code
- Open BetOnline and create an account.
- Before you deposit, open the poker room, by download or in your browser, and create your poker account and alias. BetOnline only adds the bonus automatically if you do this first.
- Go to the cashier and make your first deposit, between $10 and $1,000. Type POKER1000 in the bonus code box before you confirm it.
- Play real-money poker the same day. That starts both the bonus release and your daily tournament tickets.

Read from BetOnline's own poker welcome bonus page on November 15, 2026.
The 100% deposit bonus
- Your first deposit at BetOnline only, matched 100% up to $1,000. The deposit has to be between $10 and $1,000.
- The bonus is released in $10 stages. Each time you pay $20 in rake, $10 goes into your balance straight away.
- Rake you paid before the bonus was activated does not count.
- You have 60 days to release it all. Anything still locked after that is forfeited.
- If you withdraw before every stage is released, the stages still locked are forfeited.
The free tournament tickets
- Up to 21 free step tournament tickets, for players who are new to BetOnline's poker room.
- Tickets are handed out day by day. To earn a day's tickets, play any real-money poker game that day.
- The run starts on the day you register your poker account. Miss the first day and you only get the tickets left in the run, so play on day one.
- Each ticket expires 24 hours after you get it.
Who can claim
- New customers making their first-ever deposit at BetOnline.
- Players located in North America only.
- One per person, household, address, IP address, device and payment method. Multiple accounts get suspended and lose the promotional money.
- BetOnline's general rules apply to every promotion.
Is the bonus worth it?
Yes, if you play. Getting $10 back for every $20 of rake is a 50% return on your rake until the bonus runs out, which is generous by any standard. ACR, for comparison, releases about $1 for every $5 of rake.
The catch is the volume. Releasing the full $1,000 takes $2,000 of rake inside 60 days. A $10 + $1 tournament carries $1 of rake, so that is about 2,000 of them. A small-stakes cash game player pays very roughly 5 to 10 big blinds in rake per 100 hands. Most players are better off depositing what they will actually play through: a $100 deposit needs $200 of rake to release its $100 bonus. Our rakeback calculator helps you estimate your own rake.
Two things lose players their bonus. One is depositing before creating a poker account, which means a call to player services. The other is cashing out early, which wipes whatever is not yet released.
How it compares
| Room | Welcome bonus | Released | Time | Code |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BetOnline Poker | 100% up to $1,000 + up to 21 tickets | $10 per $20 of rake | 60 days | POKER1000 |
| ACR Poker | 100% up to $2,000 | $1 per 27.5 Award Points, about $5 of rake | 60 days | Sydney100 |
BetOnline releases its bonus far faster and is the pick for softer cash games. ACR has the bigger match, the bigger tournaments, and 27% rakeback once the bonus is done. More in our BetOnline Poker review and the full list of poker bonuses.
