poker bonus points are achieved by playing real money poker raked hands and in tournaments fees.
For ring game play, poker bonus points are awarded on the following scale. For every $0.10 (ten cents) in rake taken, all players dealt cards in the hand earn 0.07 of a player point. So if the maximum rake amount ($3/hand) is taken in a hand, all players dealt cards in the hand earn 2.1 poker bonus points for that hand.
poker bonus points are also earned through tournament fees. For every $1 (one dollar) in tournament fees you contribute you earn 5 (five) poker bonus points. So if you play a $20 + $2 poker tournament, you will earn 10 (ten) poker bonus points.
