Sign up to Absolute Poker and secure the generous 150% match they offer, up to a maximum of $500. All you need to do to secure the bonus is to download the software, to install it and to create an Absolute Poker account. Once you do that, the bonus money is transferred into your bonus account. From there, it will only be transferred into your real money one, when you redeem it through real money cash and tournament games.
What you really need for bonus redemption are status points. The amount of status points needed for the redemption of every bonus dollar depends on your VIP level. The higher up on the VIP ladder you are, the fewer status points you need for your bonus redemption.

The Absolute Poker Bonus is released in $5 increments and players have 60 days to unlock their entire bonus, or they’ll have to forfeit it.
