Americas Cardroom continues to conquer the US online poker market. Days after earning top marks for the industry's best payment processing, the online poker site has launched a new loyalty program -Elite Benefits- that solidifies the company as a major force.
Americas Cardroom today announced the launch of its new military-themed loyalty program. Elite Benefits comes with a host of rewards for every real-money online poker player, but perhaps the biggest draw for grinders is how Americas Cardroom calculates points to determine a player's loyalty status. The online poker site uses the dealt rake method to calculate points, a system that's been abandoned by competitors.
"We're all about treating players better than any other poker site, and our Elite Benefits program is proof of that," stated Americas Cardroom spokesman Michael Harris. "We're poker players too, and we read the forums and talk to poker players across the country every day. This is what's missing from the online poker market. This is what everyone's been asking for. We're happy to deliver it."
Elite Benefits is designed to put more money in more players' pockets than any other rewards program. The second a poker player starts to play for real money at Americas Cardroom, they'll become a part of Elite Benefits. There are five tiers to the program —Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Colonel, and General—.
To move up in military rank, online poker players must earn a predetermined number of Rank Points per month. While earning Rank Points, poker players will also earn Combat Points, which can be swapped for things like tournament entries, poker vacations, merchandise, and real cash at the Americas Cardroom store.
As poker players move up in rank, they're given access to even more store rewards, and they'll earn special bonuses worth thousands in cash. Chief among the benefits are:
• Up to $138,000 in yearly cash rewards.
• High-end electronics.
• Tickets to Live Events.
• Poker merchandise.
• Access to exclusive freerolls.
Americas Cardroom uses the Dealt Rake methodology to calculate Elite Benefits Rank Points. That means every player is rewarded Rank Points at the same rate—regardless of whether they contributed $10 or $0.50 in rake to a pot. Learn More About Americas Card Room Here.
