New Partner Site: bwin With $500 Bonus
Today, we can introduce our fourteenth partner site to you: bwin. At the Austrian sports betting provider you receive a $500 bonus to your first deposit.
bwin
(formerly betandwin) was founded in 1997, and is one of the biggest sports betting providers in Europe. The head office of the company is in Vienna.
In 2006, bwin bought the poker network Ongame, and our affiliate PokerRoom.com belongs to bwin as well. Thus, you will also face other players from the Ongame network at the tables.
As PokerStrategists, you receive a further $500 bonus to your first deposit - no matter if you deposit $100 or $500.
For playing on bwin, you receive 0.8 StrategyPoints per 1 Player Point (poker point), or 4 StrategyPoints per 5 Player Points (corresponds to $1 rake/fee) respectively.

You already have a bwin.com-Account?
In this case you are not allowed to create a second bwin.com account.
In case you want to play over PokerStrategy with your old account, please write a Ticket to our support with the titel "Re-tracking bwin". Be sure to include your bwin nickname in the ticket! We will try to find a solution with bwin - but cannot guarantee that we will be able to re-track the account.
Besides the first deposit bonus, bwin has become a very attractive platform mainly because of the bad players in the Ongame network. A majority of the sites in the network are also betting providers like bwin, which lead many inexperienced players to the tables regularly.
- b'inside: For playing poker, bwin players receive 100 Status Points per Dollar. Newcomers receive the Green status and receive 1 Market Point as well for each 1 Status Point. Starting at the White status (35,000 Status Points in 3 months), the market points are already doubled. Yellow status holders (175,000 Status Points in 3 months) even receive the triple amount of Market Points.

b'inside Market:
Naturally, the collected Market Points can also be spent. The b'inside Market is divided into the four categories 'Outfits & Trends',
'Change & Challenge', 'Gadgets & Stuff' and 'Sports &
Poker'. From a football over tournament tickets up to a 42" TV set, you can exchange your points there for (almost) everything. - Number of Players:
With on average 3,000 cash game players, the Ongame network is on rank 5 of the biggest poker providers worldwide. During the (European) evening, the amount of players even increases to over 6,000 at times. No-Limit players are provided with many tables around the clock - from the Micro- to the Mid- and High Stakes. For Fixed Limit players, especially the Micro- to Mid Limits ($5/$10) are interesting. SnG's are mainly available on the Low- to Mid Limits ($50). - Further Information:
- bwin offers heads-up, 3-, 4-, 5- and full-ring tables.
- SnG's are available in each common format (normal, Turbo, DoN).
- Tools are allowed at Ongame.
- Players can start private tables and tournaments at bwin.
Double StrategyPoints during week 1
For the start of the new partnership, we also have a special offer for our bwin players: From Saturday, January 31st, 2009 to Friday, February 6th, 2009, your collected StrategyPoints at bwin will be worth twice as much as normal.
A chance for each PokerStrategist who is aiming for a higher status.
The bonus points are counted for the status and lifetime points, but not for the Top250 promotion and the points for the Elephant licence.
For playing at bwin, you usually receive 0.8 StrategyPoints per 1 Player Point - and from January 31st to February 6th, you will receive 1.6 StrategyPoints accordingly.
