You get the best PKR bonuses by mentioning PKRfriends during your signup / first deposit and each of our codes is explained in full detail, plain language and text big enough to read without squinting. Oh, and they're way better than the standard PKR bonus codes..

30% rakeback for life
as well as the regular PKR bonus.

Rakeback is an invaluable addition to your bonus code which builds up consistently over time. You don't get any rakeback with the standard 01, 02 & 03 PKR bonus codes - only with the three PKRfriends codes above.

Link: What is rakeback and why do you need it?

PKR bonus codes always have a star beside the free* and before you get what's offered, the smallprint says there's some things which need doing first.

Money for nothing bonuses wouldn't be a great business model and without the strings attached, PKR would be broke. Basically, you have to play a bunch of real money hands, tournaments or sit 'n go's and gain enough PKR points to earn your bonus.

But if you have to earn it, how is it free?

The mis-communication of "free" is deliberate but it isn't malicious - it's just used to draw attention to what the bonus codes really offer - another form of rakeback - because most people like the idea of something for nothing.

What you're actually getting is the
chance to play poker for free

The money PKR would earn from your play is given to you as a bonus.

Usually, PKR take a small percentage of pots and tournament entry fees but, if you use a bonus code, a big chunk of their share - called the rake - goes into your account instead - 'rakeback' - up to a certain amount, e.g. $50. And that's a bonus.

The best bonus code for you depends on the stakes you'll play at and how regularly but PKRfriends has a code for everyone, and they all come with PKR rakeback. They're properly defined here too - no bullshit or fineprint - they've even got instructions.

Oh, and yes you can still buy stuff with your PKR points - it doesn't affect your bonus

A $50 bonus directly into your account once you've earned your first 7,500 PKR points which works out as a cool 66% rakeback, and then 30% rakeback thereafter. In other words, PKR gives you 66% off your first $50 worth of poker - which is pretty sweet.

And your PKRfriends' rakeback earns you
$24 bonus for every 7500 PKR points afterwards

A great bonus code for players who want some time to get to grips (tit around) with PKR's "new dimension" in online poker and avoid any major stakes whilst doing it.

It's a flat rate bonus for less frequent middle-stakes players - $0.10/$0.25 & up - and regular low-stakes players. With this bonus code, you get the same $50 + 30% rakeback whatever deposit you make and you have 3 months - 90 days - to rack up the necessary points.

The 30% rakeback doesn't expire.

So for this bonus code you need to average around 80 PKR points a day which you can make from even the smallest cash games - $0.02/$0.04 - or low stakes tournaments with regular play. For example, one $5+$0.50 STT or MTT earns you 50 PKR points.

The $50 bonus is paid in one big lump as soon as
you reach the target - but not before.

It might be obvious, but PKR bonus codes - and rakeback - are there to encourage you to play at PKR regularly. They aren't quite the gifts they're made out to be.

They are good though..

Here's the difference - you deposit $50 without this bonus code and, playing a couple of months of good, disciplined poker at low stakes, triple your bankroll. You make an ambitious move up to higher stakes and lose it all back down to $50. You earn around 15,000 PKR points in the process and get yourself some fancy tricks and a new outfit.

Congratulations - have a biscuit..

What you don't have is the $100 $124 in your account you would've had if you'd used this bonus code - $124 with rakeback.

Chasing bonus codes shouldn't be your goal and tracking
every single PKR point you earn is a waste of time.

It's far better to focus on your games and make the best decisions you can. Forget about the bonus code and enjoy some poker.

90 days is ages, so just try to win with what you've got.

Earning PKR points shouldn't be a part of any decision at the table and bonus codes aren't a reason to gamble - any bonus money is yours once you've earned it.

Unlike the $50 flat, this bonus code gives you a different bonus amount depending on how much you deposit. The maximum possible bonus being $250 if you deposit $500 or more into your PKR account.

Actually, that's not true - with PKRfriends' rakeback
you get $325 of bonus for the same points

Like the first code, you don't get your bonus until you've got all the required PKR points. If you get half the points, you don't get half the bonus. With this bonus code you need 200 PKR points for every $1 of bonus and you have 60 days to get them.

Compared to the 66% rakeback for bonus code #1, 200 PKR points per $1 is the equivalent of 50% rakeback - so half the poker you play is effectively free.

Example: a $200 deposit using bonus code PKRfriends250R = $100 bonus. To get it, you've got to earn 200 x 100 PKR points - 20,000 for the mathematically challenged disabled. It's twice the bonus you get from the PKRfriends50R code but over 2½ times the number of PKR points.

PKR's making value bets..

How much you should deposit with this bonus code comes down to how many PKR points you think you'll earn in 60 days. 40-50 might be smarter.. especially if you've never played at PKR before.

This bonus code is for PKR low/middle stakes regulars or high rollers with a vague interest in PKR. Bonus code #1 might be better if you can't predict your PKR points to a reasonable degree of accuracy - or if you predict less than 7,500.

No-one using this bonus code needs advice but briefly, the minimum deposit/bonus is $250, you have to earn 225 PKR points per $1 of bonus - 45% rakeback - and you have 60 days to get them all - A bonus for the heavyweights.

The actual maximum with this bonus code works
out at $825 with the added 30% rakeback.

That's a couple of free passes to the monthly $30,000 guaranteed or a lot of beer..

With this bonus code, the most PKR points you'll ever need to clear it is 135,000 - after a $600 deposit. Playing at $2/$4 to $5/$10, PKR will tell you it's technically possible to earn your bonus in 900 hands, but realistically it's more like 1,100-1,200.

Hi,

I already downloaded PKR and had an account I've used for several months, but never for real money.

When I made my first deposit last week I used the PKRfriends50R code - I didn't get any message saying the code had failed.

Will I still qualify for the bonus $50 and the 30% rakeback?

Also, if so, when will the rakeback start and when exactly will it be paid into my account?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew
