Players on Absolute Poker earn status points and those that earn at least 50 per month get their points multiplied to create "Absolute Points." Absolute Points can be used to convert to cash or be used in the Absolute Rewards Store. Only players that are Gold Status or above may convert their Absolute Points to cash or use them in the store. Players may redeem their Credits in the store for approximately $0.0056 per Absolute Points or $0.0070 as part of the "Cash for Absolute Points" cashback promotion. See "Fame Rewards Program" and "Cash for Absolute Points" below for additional details.

Players that sign-up through BonusWhores' Absolute Poker link and register their account are eligible for a monthly $20,000 exclusive rake race. The rake race will award the top 100 rake generators with cash prizes paid into their account.
Absolute Poker offers a Rewards Program that awards frequent players with additional benefits. All players are enrolled in the program automatically however the more Status Points you earn per month, the higher status you earn and the more perks you will receive.
There are five status levels at Absolute Poker:

Silver
50
2x
Gold
500

Platinum
2,500
4x
Diamond
10,000
5x
*Monthly Points required. In the case of the diamond status, players have a three month window in which to maintain their status.
So for example, to be considered a "Gold" status player you would need to earn 500 Status Points for the month and you would then earn Absolute Points at 3x the rate of Status Points. Absolute Points do not count towards VIP levels, however Absolute Points can be redeemed for cash or tournament tickets.
Perks of each status level (note: each level also includes the perks from lower statuses):
Bronze Basic package Silver: Credits for Gas, Tourneys for Credits Gold: Up to $50 as part of the "Absolute Points for Cash" promotion (this is an addition to the regular bonus), points for tickets/events, Absolute Rewards store Platinum: 10% Ultimate Shopping discounts, up to $250 as part of the "Absolute Points for Cash Program", contact with VIP Host, limited edition merchandise Diamond: 9% interest on Account balance (APY), special event invitations, "VIP Treats"

Only player's top 10 results will be counted for the purpose of the leaderboard.
Monthly- $14,000 in prizes split between the top 10 MTT players.
The top 50 players in the MTT Yearly Leaderboard will also all be invited to play in the $36.5K Yearly TLB freeroll. Winners will be contacted by email with the date and time of this tournament. Aruba packages will be given away.
SNG Leaderboards:
Prizes are based on the SNGs that players played the most that accumulated towards their score. Weekly time frame is run from Sunday at 12:01 AM ET until the following Saturday at 11:59 PM ET.

Clear Rates Disclaimer:
We have generated our clear rates by using Party Poker hand histories, and running them through each site's rake structure. Obviously, game conditions (looseness, aggression, and game speed) will be different from site to site, so these numbers may vary from what is actually experienced. Also, the fact that an hourly rate is listed does not mean a game at that limit is always available.
