Titan Poker players will soon be able to experience a brand new VIP Program. The popular iPoker Network site will roll out its heralded promotion on July 1st, offering a VIP status that is based on the previous month’s play.
Titan Poker players will rack up around 17 points for every $1 in rake. If you can navigate a gem shop, then you can master Titan Poker’s revamped VIP Program. Players start off at the Bronze Level, which requires no monthly point balance and goes all the way up to 999. There is no VIP Point boost associated with this level, although you’ll still be able to take advantage of promotions that are points-based. When you finally work your way up to 1,000 points in a given month (or approximately $58 in rake), you’ll become a Silver member. This provides a boost of 20%, ultimately giving you monthly points of 1,200 to 5,999.
Come 5,000 points, Titan Poker players will gain membership to the Gold level. Points are boosted by 40% in this level, resulting in a range of 7,000 to 13,999. Above Gold is Platinum, which requires a monthly point minimum of 10,000. This VIP level results in a point boost of 60% to at least 16,000. Titan Poker players can reach the heralded Titanium VIP level by racking up 17,000 points in a given calendar month (which is approximately equivalent to $1,000 in rake). Doing so results in a colossal 100% points boost to between 34,000 and 69,998. The pinnacle of the new Titan Poker rewards system is Diamond, which is reserved for players who accumulate 35,000 or more points, which will promptly be boosted by a whopping 120%.
Points can be exchanged for cash on Titan Poker, making the prospect of accruing points even more lucrative. The more points you save and ultimately cash in, the lower the rate of exchange. For example, trading in 2,000 points will net you a $10 cash reward, or 200 points per $1. However, trading in 6,500 points will result in your bankroll growing by $45, or just 144 points per $1. Other options available include $150 for 20,000 points (133 points per $1), $800 for 80,000 points (100 points per $1), $1,750 for 160,000 points (91 points per $1), $4,000 for 320,000 points (80 points per $1), $8,000 for 600,000 points (75 points per $1), $14,000 for one million points (71 points per $1), $39,000 for 2.5 million points (64 points per $1), and $120,000 for seven million points (58 points per $1). The bottom line is that saving your points before cashing them in is the optimal strategy.
Titan Poker offers a full points calculator complete with a graph to help you compute where you stand. Drop-down menus for the number of seats, game type, game speed, hours per week, number of tables, table stakes, average tournament buy-in, and number of tournaments per week add to the fun. As an important note, players on Titan Poker can cash in points any time they’d like. With only $58 in rake required to ascend to Silver status, a bevy of Titan Poker players are eligible, making the VIP club accessible to customers of all bankrolls.
The iPoker Network’s featured tournament is the $250,000 Guaranteed, which runs every Sunday at 18:00 GMT. First-time depositors in June receive four entries into World of Poker Freerolls. The promotion’s grand prize winner takes home a $35,000 prize package that includes entry into the Asian Poker Tour’s Macau stop, the Irish Winter Festival, the 2010 Irish Open, and next year’s World Series of Poker Main Event. That’s three different continents’ worth of tournaments. New depositors also take home five chances to satellite their way into the $20,000 New Depositors’ Freeroll.
