PokerKing Bonuses
Get a 100% bonus on your first deposit, up to $2000. To unlock the bonus, you need to earn Status Points (SP) by playing poker. For every 27.5 SP you earn, you’ll get $1 of your bonus released. You have 60 days to unlock the full bonus amount. You need to deposit at least $25 to qualify for this offer. No bonus code is needed.
Loyalty Program
The poker room also has a great loyalty program where you can earn up to 65% rakeback. There are four monthly levels and two annual levels. The higher you climb, the better your exchange rate for converting Status Points to Royalty Points.
Staying at a level is easier than reaching it – you need only half the SP to maintain your current level compared to moving up to the next one.

NLH, PLO, and PLO8 are the most popular games and are played most frequently, while Stud games are played less often and have fewer players.
To see the nicknames and stack sizes of players at cash game tables, you either need to sit down at the table or use a special ticket. You are given 3 tickets per day. After using a ticket, you will be able to see the names at the selected table for 5 hours.
Following an update on July 5, 2023, the waiting list in the room now works like a queue in a live cash game. You cannot choose a specific table and join the queue for it. You can only take a place in the waiting list for a specific limit, provided that there are at least the required number of players there. When a seat becomes available, the room notifies the player by opening the table and offering them a seat.
Blitz Poker is PokerKing’s version of fast-fold poker, similar to ZOOM on other poker sites. In Blitz Poker, you can fold your hand at any time and immediately move to a new table with new opponents. This format is perfect for players who want to see as many hands as possible and don’t want to wait for their turn to act.

There is also a separate rake race for Sit & Go players called “Sit & Crush” with payouts from the room.
PokerKing offers a wide variety of multi-table tournaments (MTTs), with a schedule that has been reoriented towards European players since March 2023. In fact, MTT players can find action on PokerKing around the clock: there are many tournaments for players from the US and Latin America from 22:00 to 11:00 Moscow time, and for European players from 14:00 to 00:00 Moscow time.

Additional rakeback in The Beast and Sit&Crush
PokerKing has two unique weekly leaderboards: The Beast for cash game players and Sit & Crush for Sit & Go players. You can find them in the PokerKing lobby under “My Account” > “Rewards”.
The Beast
For every $0.02 in rake generated in cash games, 1 point is awarded in the leaderboard. The more points a player earns, the larger the amount of additional cash they will receive at the end of the week.
Depending on how many points a player has accumulated, they will receive $50, $125, $250, or $500. If the field generates a lot of rake, then tickets to a satellite starting from Sunday to Monday will be added to the cash prizes of The Beast. When you click on the “The Beast” button in the room lobby, a website with the leaderboard opens.
So if you’re looking to earn some extra cash, be sure to grind some cash games and climb the ranks of The Beast leaderboard!
The columns in The Beast leaderboard display the following information:
- Nickname: The player’s nickname.
- Points: The number of points accumulated.
- Cash Prize: The prize received for the week.
- Projected: The expected prize based on the previous week’s results, taking into account the speed and volume of points accumulation.
- Tournament Entry: Tournament ticket (if awarded, this column will say “Sunday Tourney”).
To the right of the leaderboard, it is indicated how many players have currently received tickets to the tournament (306 in the screenshot), when this tournament will take place, and information about the conditions for awarding tickets within The Beast.
Prizes are awarded automatically at the end of the week. All cash game players in the room participate in The Beast – you do not need to go anywhere and click “Opt In” or “Participate” as in other rooms.
Sit&Crush
PokerKing also has a similar leaderboard for Sit & Go players, only points are awarded at a rate of 5 for every $1 contributed to the promotion’s prize pool.
The fund is formed from a part of the rake of each tournament – the room takes 25%. For example, if the tournament costs $100, the rake in it is $10, then the room will take a quarter of this $10 – $2.50, awarding the player 12.50 points in the leaderboard standings.
You can access the leaderboard by clicking the “Sit & Crush” button in the “Rewards” section. Its design and indicators are similar to those of The Beast.
