Once you are finished, press “Deposit Now”. This will take you to the next step.
This will be the final step you need to complete your deposit. On this page, there will be the wallet address you will need to send your payment. You will have a couple options you can choose to send your payment through your eWallet. The first, will be the Wallet address string of characters or second the QR code. Both options require you to use a third party eWallet, that is funded with Bitcoin already. If you choose to use the address, make sure to copy and paste the address instead of manually retyping. This prevent your from sending your payment to the wrong address.
Once you have sent your payment from the eWallet, click on the “I’ve Completed My Deposit” button to check on the status of your payment.
After BetOnline.AG receives your payment, it will be credited to your Sports account. Make sure to transfer it to your Poker account so that you can use it at BetOnline.AG Poker.
Deposit with Credit Cards
Another popular option to fund your BetOnline Poker account is through your Credit Card. Currently Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover are accepted at BetOnline. On this page they actually recommend using MasterCard, Discover or American Express since it will most likely get approved as compared to a Visa credit card.
Here you will need to enter you Credit Card information. The name should match the name on the account you signed up with during registration. If it is your first time using that credit card, BetOnline will ask you to verify identity and account by submitting a Credit Card verification form. Once approved, you can complete your deposit.

- Credit Card Number
- Expiry Date
- CVC/CVV
- Social Security Number
You will also be asked to provide your Social Security Number. If you are not interested in filling out this information or waiting for your Credit Card Verification form to be approved, think about using Bitcoin to fund your deposit.
Below this section, you will have the option to enter a promo code. So if you are interested in claiming the 100% Poker Welcome Bonus, enter the NEWBOL coupon code in the “Promo Code” input box.
Once you are done, submit your payment. Once the transaction is approved, your Sports balance will receive the deposit. You will need to transfer your balance from the Sports wallet to the Poker wallet. You will then be all set to begin entering Poker games or tournaments.

There will be minimum withdrawal fee of $20 and a maximum limit of $3,000. You are allowed 1 transaction a week. After you withdrawal is approved, processing time will be from 1 hour to 48 hours. The ideal time to request a withdrawal is at beginning of the work.
How to Earn Bonus Points
The term Bonus Points, Comp Points and VIP Points are used interchangeable at BetOnline Poker, but we will use the terms Bonus Point for this review.
When you play with real money from your account, you will earn Bonus Points. This includes “Rake Hands” and “Tournament Fees”.
To see your current Bonus Points, you will need to be on the BetOnline Poker web app or standalone client software. Here you will need to click on green “$” link in the top right corner. This will open up a pop-up that is combination of the Cashier and Account information. Here you will see different balances. For the Bonus Points, they will be at the “VIP points” section.
Rake Hands
The percentage of the pot that goes to the house is called the “rake”. The amount you contribute to the rake is your “Rake Hand”. At BetOnline the rake is not taken prior to flop for Hold’em Poker or Omaha Poker. If the pot is not called, there will be no rake.
For every cent ($0.01) you contribute towards the rake, you will earn 1 Bonus Point. This money be from your real money balance, not bonus balance, for you to earn Bonus Points.
So if there is a $30 pot with three players in a Fixed limit game contributing $10 each. According to the rake schedule for Fixed Limit, your rake contribution will be $0.01 for every $0.18 that you contributed to pot, with a maximum rake of $2. Take the $10 you contributed to the pot and divide that by 0.18, then multiply this number by 0.01; this will give you a “Rake Hand” of $0.55, or 55 Bonus Points.
The pot rake for most of the game are from 5% to 5.55%. For Fixed Limit Games, the rake has a schedule of $0.01 per $0.20 contributed to the pot, with a maximum of $0.20 to $3 depending on the type of game. While for No Limit & Pot Limit Games, the rake has a schedule of $0.01 per $0.18 pot, with a maximum rake of $1 to $5 depending on the game.
Tournament Fees
When you enter a tournament, there will be tournament fee to play at the table. For every penny ($0.01) you pay in tournament fees, you will receive 1 Bonus Point. Your tournament fee must be paid from your real money balance to receive Bonus Point credits.
For example, if you enter a tournament with a $1 tournament fee, you will have 100 Comp Points credited to your account.
How this relates to the 100% Poker Welcome Bonus
When you claim the promo code NEWBOL for the 100% Poker Welcome Bonus, the bonus money will go into your bonus balance. To redeem the bonus balance for real money, it will be released into your increments of $5, for every 5000 Bonus Points you redeem.
