DoylesRoom Poker
The ‘home’ of poker legend Doyle Brunson, DoylesRoom was a popular site for US players until the UIGEA was passed in 2006 – a big hit to site traffic. After various spells on other networks, DoylesRoom eventually joined the Cake network and now entertains high numbers of players from the US.
Of course, Brunson is a big draw to the site – where he plays in a weekly bounty tournament with Mike Caro and Hoyt Corkins – but there are also some appealing bonuses on offer, including their potentially lucrative ‘Gold Rewards’ program.
110% Initial Deposit Bonus
The generous 110% first deposit bonus on DoylesRoom is up to the value of $550, with a minimum deposit of $30. The promotion is awarded when players collect the required amount of ‘Frequent Player Points’ (FPPs). $10 of the bonus will be made available for every 166.66 FPPs earned, which is lower when compared to other sites. FPPs are earned by playing ring games and tournaments – one point for every $1 in raked hands and 7 FPPs for every $1 in tournament fees.
However there are some conditions that must be noted: you will only have 90 days to earn the full amount of your bonus; and, if you wish to take advantage of their reload bonus, you will have to earn the entire initial deposit bonus first.
Refer a Friend Bonus
DoylesRoom offer a Refer a Friend Bonus up to the value of $250, depending how much your friend plays at the site. If you refer the right player, this could be a handy way of making some extra cash. For every $1 they play in raked hands, 25% will go into your account, while there are also monthly cash payments, based on the amount of FPPs they earn.
Gold Rewards
At DoylesRoom, their loyalty program is based on Gold Rewards, offering ‘Gold Cards’, ‘Gold Chips’ as well as ‘Gold Stacks’. Gold Cards are won randomly at any real money table and picked via a Random Number Generator. After a certain amount has been made in the rake, a gold card will be released from the vault; if your hole card matches this card you will have won.
These Cards, however, will not hold equal value, so which one you draw will determine what promotions will be available. Lotteries, Gold Card tournaments, jackpots and prize hands are just a selection of the benefits on offer.
Gold Chips are collected when you earn a certain number of FPPs (decreasing with the more chips you accumulate) and are placed in a ‘Gold Chip Meter’. When this meter is full you will be able to use these chips to play in the Weekly Gold Chip Giveaways as well as buy seats in satellite games.
Gold Stacks are the most lucrative, but do require plenty of play at the site. Based on the Gold Chips program, players receive a special bonus for each level of chips they reach. There are a total of 50 levels, with 1-10 awarding gold chips, 11-20 providing bonuses and levels above 21 offering cash transfers straight to your account.
