Turn Your Bodog Poker Points Into Cash[ return to main articles page ]

In need of some extra cash online this holiday season? At Bodog, you can take your hard-earned poker points you’ve accumulated and trade them in for bonus dollars. With the holidays fast approaching, Christmas has come early for some PocketFivers. This offer is good from now until the ball drops on New Year’s Eve.

Turning your points into cash is pretty easy. Each block of 667 points is worth $10. You can trade in between $10 and $200 worth of poker points, which translates to trading in between 667 and a blistering 133,400 points. It works just like this: you’re essentially receiving bonus dollars for your hard-earned points. Let’s say you cash out 667 points, or $10. You now have $10 in bonus dollars on Bodog and, in order to cash that money out, need to clear 30 bonus points, or three points for every dollar you trade in. In Bodog's cash games, you can gain one poker point for every hand you play, assuming that hand is raked for at least $1. If the hand is raked for less than $1, you’ll receive a quarter of a point. Here are your choices for how many points to cash in and how many dollars you'll receive:


Now it’s time for the fine print. In order to be able to turn your poker points into cash, make sure you adhere to the following guidelines: First, only one trade per account is allowed, so make sure you really want to trade in your points before you do, as additional points you may accumulate won’t be able to be turned into cash. Second, you must fill out a form to get cash. This form can be found by clicking here. The link will take you to a Zoomerang interface, but that’s just what Bodog is using, so don’t be alarmed. Third, three poker points per dollar must be earned prior to cashing out. Fourth, this promotion only runs through the end of the year, so before you head home for the holidays, don’t forget about it. Finally, the transactions will take up to two days, so if your trade isn’t processed immediately, don’t worry. There are thousands of other people doing the same thing as you.

The form is pretty simple to fill out. All you have to do is enter your Bodog account number, first and last name, an e-mail where Bodog can send you a confirmation, and the amount of points you want to cash in.

If you have any questions at all, you can feel free to contact Bodog at points@bodog.com or pick up the phone and call 866-909-2237. For all the details, visit Bodog today.
