Loyalty Programme PokerBanter Loyalty Point Scheme Started on 1 Sep 08, this scheme was established to reward our members for participating in activities on the forum and events/tournaments organised by us on our sponsored poker sites. The reward of Loyalty Points (LP) was structured as below to allow players to accrue points to 'spend' in the PokerBanter Shop; every 100 LPs achieved allows each member to spend £1 in the shop. The forum has now been improved and with a much more professional approach to our organisation and set up, it is also obvious that we have to bring our LP Scheme in line with our new look and really reward our members as they should be rewarded. This will make the accumulation of points to make purchases a much more rapid realisation. The new forum already has tools imbedded into it that will automatically calculate rewardable points relatable to the forum itself; including posts made (0.2 LP for every post will generate 100 LPsfor 500 posts - making a much rapider accumulation than was achievable before). There are other imbedded points for referrals and posting pictures and there will also be customised points that will be used to input rewards for participation and activity in other events that are non-forum related. These are not completely comprehensive or exhaustable but any posts announcing events or activities will indicate LPs that can also be achieved. The structure below indicates examples of points that will now be awarded: Breakdown of Points Awarded
PokerBanter Premier League
Participation in a number of our PokerBanter Premier League events that are played every Monday and Thursday each month on Titan Poker will see players rewarded with LPs as below: Play 5+ games in 1 month 10 LPs
Play 7+ games in 1 month 20 LPs
Play 9+ games in 1 month 30 LPs
In addition to participation in these events we have now decided that from January 2009 there will be a change to our payout structure for our winners. Whilst each monthly winner will continue to receive a token to our grand final tournament, we will no longer be paying out cash prizes or tokens for the top 3 players. Instead we will be awarding LPs to our top finishers and these will vary subject to participation of our events. If the numbers of participants of the month is below 25 then there will be 1000 LPs shared by the top 3 finishers. If there are 25+ monthly participants then we will reward the top 5 finishers with 1500 LPs. These points will be broken down as below: 0-24 Monthly Participants 25+ Monthly Participants 1st Place 500 LPs 1st Place 650 LPs
2nd Place 350 LPs 2nd Place 400 LPs
3rd Place 150 LPs 3rd Place 250 LPs
4th Place 150 LPs
5th Place 50 LPs
Downloading & Depositing on New Sites PokerBanter.com are keen to be represented in many events and for the name of our forum to become established in wider poker circles. We are also particularly keen to be well represented and successful in the various Forum Challenges that or freely available on the poker networks. We understand that we are asking for a lot of committment from our members to participate in these events and that many of these events will require the necessity to download a new poker network and deposit in a new account.

They are to confirm the download and deposit of funds by emailing shop@pokerbanter.com Bounty Events
PokerBanter.com organise various bounty events on both our sponsored poker sites. Any event that is produced by PokerBanter and establishes itself as having 'Bounty' players. whatever site that may be on will see the breakdown of points as follows: Claim a bounty head 20 LPs
Win a bounty event 10 LPs Pic n Mix – League PokerBanter have organised an alternative league in the past and will endeavour to arrange more in the future. As with any other new event that the forum will subsequently organise, the announcement post will clearly establish what the award of LPs will entail. Therefore a detailed breakdown of points will not be provided here for the time being.
Private Tables PokerBanter.com have a variety of private tables set up on the Titan Poker network. These are available for use at any time and there will be LPs available for participation at these tables.

There will continue to be a monthly competition that will see our LP moderator select a game for all members to participate in.
