The Full Tilt Poker download brought the Black Card to show appreciation for their most loyal players. Essentially, it is a collection of perks given to high volume players. These perks include an exclusive store, personalized customer service, and double the Full Tilt Points. Those accepted into this club will receive a Black Card in the mail.
It takes a lot of hours on the Full Tilt Poker download to get into the Black Card club. To get into the club, players must earn an average of 500 Full Tilt Points over 100 days. This basically means 50,000 Full Tilt Points must be earned over the course of 100 days. This is almost unattainable for microstakes players. For those playing slightly higher, there is a hidden benefit in this requirement: the Full Tilt Poker download gives the Black Card benefits after 3 months rather than after a year.
The most important store item for players on money poker sites is usually cash bonuses. There are 5 Black Card cash bonuses available: $50, $100, $250, $500, and $2,000. Each bonus is available after paying a set number of Full Tilt Points. An unfortunate feature of this new program is that the cash is not available for use right away. Players are required to clear this bonus; for every Full Tilt Point earned, $0.04 of the bonus is cleared. Those that have earned bonuses using a PokerStars bonus code will know exactly what to do. Each bonus expires after 90 days.
Let’s now take a look at the other Black Card benefits. Every hand played under a Black Card membership will earn you twice as many Full Tilt Points. Why play at any of the other top Texas Hold'em sites when you can earn 3x the normal Full Tilt Points at the Happy Hour tables? Regarding exclusive customer support, each Black Card member will receive both a welcome email and personalized physical Black Card sent to their home address. Both the email and the Black Card has the email address of their very own customer support representative. This is one of the only US friendly poker sites that gives personalized support like this.
A lot of people speculate that Full Tilt brought the Black Card as the answer to Supernova, found on the PokerStars download. Many players are pleased that they can attain Black Card status in mere months. The quest for Supernova takes most players an entire year to accomplish. It will be interesting to see how people benefit from this promotion in the long run.
