Online card rooms are always looking for new ways to reward their most loyal players, and FullTiltPoker.com’s new Black Card is one of the newest. It offers bonuses and extra amenities for players who earn it, and therefore it will likely become a status symbol among serious players.
To earn the Black Card, players must earn a minimum of 500 Full Tilt Points per day on average over a 100-day period. While this would be extremely difficult for small stakes players, those at higher stakes will have no trouble earning this many points on average. Once the card is earned, however, players will need to maintain this average as well. If your average drops below 500 points a day, you will have 50 days to regain your average before your membership is revoked. This may cause some players to play more than they usually would to maintain their status, which is a benefit for the site.
So what does the Black Card get you? There are many great benefits. First, Black Card members earn 2x the Full Tilt Points and have access to online tournaments exclusively for Black Card members. Members also receive personalized service from the support team, and also have access to a private Black Card store, which has items not available anywhere else.
Perhaps the most appealing bonus of the Black Card, however, is that members will receive special treatment at live events, and will get to meet Full Tilt Poker pros. They will also have access to the Pro’s Choice WSOP suite.
While the rewards of the Black Card are many, it is certainly not an easy thing to earn. Only the top players on the site will have a good chance at becoming a Black Card member, but getting the chance to meet and hang out with Full Tilt Poker pros should be worth it alone.
