The Full Tilt Poker download introduced the Black Card as a special thanks to players that put in many hours of poker. The players putting in the highest volumes will receive some extras that most other players don’t have access to. Such extras include double Full Tilt Points, personalized customer service, and an exclusive Black Card store. Those accepted into this club will receive a Black Card in the mail.
Access to this exclusive club requires players to put in consistent hours of poker on their Full Tilt Poker download. Players must average 500 Full Tilt Points per day over the last 99 days plus the current day. In other words, players have 100 days to earn 50,000 Full Tilt Points. This is no easy task, especially for microstakes players. Unlike the highest VIP status on PokerStars, though, the Full Tilt Poker download does not make their players wait a year to receive their rewards.
The most important store item for players on money poker sites is usually cash bonuses. The Black Card store has bonuses between $50 and $2,000 for sale, and each bonus has a different Full Tilt Point price tag. An unfortunate feature of this new program is that the cash is not available for use right away. The site requires players to clear the bonus at a rate of $0.04 per Full Tilt Point earned. This is similar to earning a bonus after a PokerStars bonus code is used. Each bonus expires after 90 days.
Now what about the other perks mentioned, the extra Full Tilt Points and unique customer support? As a Black Card member you will receive double the Full Tilt Points on all tables, even Happy Hour tables! You won’t want to waste time on any of the other top Texas Hold'em sites when you’re earning so many Points at the Full Tilt tables. When it comes to the special customer service, welcome emails are sent to inboxes and black cards are sent to mailing addresses. Both the welcome email and Black Card will hold the direct email address of the customer service representative dedicated to them. I’m pretty sure that this is the only of the US friendly poker sites that offers personalized support.
PokerStars download players have Supernova, Full Tilt download players have the Black Card. The best feature of the Black Card status is that you can earn it in a matter of 3 months. The quest for Supernova takes most players an entire year to accomplish. It’s still a new promo, though, so we’ll see how it all pans out in the end.
