			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The In-Play market is the heart of sports betting at bet365. Bettors can now place a nearly limitless number of wagers on dozens, if not hundreds, of events within a particular game or match.</p>
<p>How does it work? Punters new to the system might be a bit overwhelmed with all that the In-Play market at bet365 has to offer, but a quick tour through the major features will help flatten the learning curve and get you that much closer to some of the most entertaining wagering in the world.</p>
<h2>The Control Panel + Betting Slip</h2>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4246" style="margin: 20px 0 20px 20px;" title="In-Play Control panel" src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/control-panel.jpg" alt="In-Play Control panel" width="268" height="139" />A bit small and tucked away in the upper-right hand corner below the log in area, the control panel packs a lot of power into a tiny space. The five icons on the top of the panel allow you to (from left to right) access the Calendar View, turn sound On / Off, access the Support Center, Refresh the page and Switch View (this will rearrange the various modules of the In-Play home screen).</p>
<p>Below the icons you&#8217;ll find your bet slip.   You have the option to view your slip in standard format or banker&#8217;s format.   As you click on bets you&#8217;d like to make, this slip will fill up with summaries of the wagers for your review.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4248" style="margin: 20px 0 20px 20px;" title="Expanded Bet Slip" src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/exapnded-bet-slip.jpg" alt="Expanded Bet Slip" width="262" height="392" />As you can see in our example to the right, the bet slip previews your wager, allowing to see how the price actually impacts your potential winnings based on the amount you choose to wager.  The slip will also total your stake for all selected wagers.   To add a bet to your slip, you simply click on it in the main screen.  Putting a bet in your betting slip does not result in the wager being officially placed; for that you&#8217;ll need to log in and then click the &#8220;Place Bet&#8221; button.</p>
<p>A word of caution: In-Play markets move very, very quickly for some wagers, so a bet that you put on your betting slip may no longer be valid by the time you actually confirm the wager.</p>
<p>If you place multiple bets in your slip, you&#8217;ll have some additional options appear.  To remove any wager, simply click the grey &#8220;x&#8221; to the left of the bet.</p>
<p>You must have a bet365 account and be logged in to place any bets.</p>
<h2>Exploring and Adding In-Play Bets</h2>
<p>The In-Play system at Bet365 gives you a number of ways to explore bets.  When you first visit or log in, the center of the screen defaults to showing a variety of currently available markets.   You can click on any cell in the center pane to move a wager into your betting slip.</p>
<p>You can also use the menu located to the far left of the screen to browse available markets by sport.  In the default view, this will be a list of sports with name and icon; in the alternative view this list will collapse to icons only.  Click on any sport and the menu will expand to show all available matches.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll notice a little star icon next to each match; click this and the match will be added to your favorites, which are accessible at the top of the left-hand menu.</p>
<p>To view details about the specific markets available for a given match, just click on the match name in the menu.  This will bring up a center pane that looks something like this:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4252" title="Sample bet365 inplay market" src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/sample-bet365-inplay-market.jpg" alt="Sample bet365 inplay market" width="490" height="413" /></p>
<p>From here you can either click on a section to expand it and see the available wagers and lines or just click directly on a particular wager and it will be added to your bet slip.  Remember, putting a wager in your bet slip does not commit you to the bet &#8211; it&#8217;s basically just like adding an item to your shopping cart at Amazon.  You&#8217;ll still need to &#8220;check out&#8221; by actually placing the bets before your account will be charged and the bets accepted by bet365.</p>
<h2>Bet365 In Play: The Diary</h2>
<p>One of the neat features for bettors with this system is the Diary.  You can view all of you scheduled events for up to a week out from the current date.  The Diary also shows you the time and channel of the event, and allows you to access additional information in the In Play market regarding the event with just a click.   It&#8217;s an especially useful tool during major events where multiple games run daily.</p>
<h2>Live Content at the Bet365 In Play Markets</h2>
<p>An impressive collection of video and audio, much of it streaming live and all of it accessible from the same dashboard where you place your bets.   Look for video and audio icons in the left hand menu that indicate when coverage for a particular match is available, or use the audio / video menu on the right to browse all currently streaming content.</p>
<p>In addition to video and audio, the right-hand menu also contains a series of running stats for matches that are being covered live by bet365.  You can easily access quick stats &#8211; such as attacks and dangerous attacks for football matches &#8211; and see a simple yet informative graphical representation of the current action, perfect for those situations when audio or video aren&#8217;t appropriate.</p>
<p>Finally, as with any live-play market, there are stats and updates spread throughout the interface.  Whether it&#8217;s shots on goal, pitches thrown or three-point attempts, the stat you want about a game happening now is available via the In Play market at Bet365.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4231" style="margin-left: 20px;" title="bet365 wiki" src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bet365-wiki.jpg" alt="bet365 wiki" width="250" height="161" />Players participating in the <a href="/bet365-vip-program-how-it-works/">VIP Scheme at bet365 Poker</a> should have received some good news in their inbox today –  the value of the VIP scheme for bet365 poker players has been increased dramatically.</p>
<p>There are two big changes to the program, both of which add significant value –  especially to players at the higher end of the VIP scheme.</p>
<p><strong>New: Loyalty Rewards </strong></p>
<p>This is the first big change, and it&#8217;s applicable to Platinum Status holders only.  If you maintain your status for consecutive months, you&#8217;ll receive bonuses based on the number of months you&#8217;ve managed to do so.  At the top of the Loyalty Rewards chart is a reward of $1,750 for players who manage to maintain their Platinum Status for 12 consecutive months.</p>
<p>Note that you can only make progress toward one Loyalty Reward at a time.  There are rewards for 3, 6 and 12 consecutive month periods, but &#8220;cashing in&#8221; for any reward resets your consecutive month number to 0 for the purpose of Loyalty Rewards.</p>
<p><strong>Merit Points Exchange Boosted</strong></p>
<p>The second big change comes in the Merit Points exchange aspect of the VIP scheme.  Bet365 has introduced a few new exchange levels and boosted the value of several existing levels by 25%.  The amount of points you need hasn&#8217;t changed –  only the cash you get for exchanging them.  The new levels are below</p>
<p><strong>Merit Points = Reward (Previous Reward) / Required VIP</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>7500 = $50 / Bronze</li>
<li>20000 = $150 / Silver</li>
<li>50000 = $600 / Silver</li>
<li>100000 = $1350 / Gold</li>
<li>200000 = $3,500 (was $3,000) / Gold</li>
<li>375000 = $7,500 (was $7,000) / Platinum</li>
<li>700000 = $17,500 (was $15,000) / Platinum</li>
<li>1500000 = $45,000 (was $37,500) / Platinum</li>
<li>2500000 = $80,000 (was $70,000) / Platinum</li>
<li>5000000 = $165,000 (was $150,000) / Platinum</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A great little promotion from bet365 that will help pad the bankrolls of bettors who favor parlays when betting North American professional sports: Get a bonus of up to 50% on your parlays bets when you hit.</p>
<p>The bonus works like this: The more bets in your parlay, the larger the bonus.&nbsp; You can see in the chart below that the bonuses range from 5% for a 2 bet parlay all the way up to the maximum bonus of 50% on your winnings for parlays involving 12 bets or more.</p>
<p><img border="0" alt="Bet365-parlay-chart" src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bet365-parlay-chart.jpg" /></p>
<p>The maximum bonus is &euro;100,000 or currency equivalent.&nbsp; The bets must involve games from the following leagues: NFL, NCAAF, CFL, NBA, NCAAB, MLB and NHL.&nbsp; </p>
<p><strong><a href="/">Sign up at Bet365 &gt;&gt;&gt;</a></strong></p>
<h2>Some Fine Print of the bet365 Parlay Bonus</h2>
<p>In case of a push in any game, that game will simply be removed from the parlay, reducing the total or the parlay by one bet (or one fold).</p>
<p>The terms do not mention a rollover requirement.&nbsp; Otherwise, the bonus is pretty simple &ndash;&nbsp; and there&#8217;s no end date in the terms.&nbsp; Standard bet365 T&amp;C&#8217;s&nbsp;apply.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From now until 23:59 UK Time 30th June 2012, players willing to give the bet365 mobile client a try can get a generous bonus for doing so.</p>
<p>You can get a 100% bonus on a qualifying bet that you place through the bet365 mobile client, with a maximum bonus of $100 or (currency equivalent).  The minimum bet you can make to qualify for this bonus is $2.  </p>
<p><em><a href="/go/bet365/">Visit bet365 to get their mobile client >>></a></em></p>
<p><img style="margin:10px;"  src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/mobile-betting-bet365.jpg" alt="" title="Mobile betting bonus at bet365" width="200" height="181" class="alignright size-full wp-image-4209" />As with most bet365 promotions, you need to complete a somewhat complicated opt-in procedure in order to claim the bonus.  After you make your bet, navigate to Services >> Available Offers.  Request the offer and bet365 will send a code to your email.  This code must be entered in your Member&#8217;s Area (either desktop or mobile client works).</p>
<p>Standard bet365 bonus terms apply to the offer.  In addition, to clear the bonus, you need to rollover an additional amount of wagers on the mobile client equal to three times the amount of your wager and bonus combined.  You have 90 days to meet this requirement or the bonus expires.</p>
<p>Several countries do not qualify for the mobile bonus at bet365, including: Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Vietnam, Belarus, Croatia, Serbia, Lithuania, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Slovenia, Georgia, Moldova, Macedonia, Romania, Poland, Portugal, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, China, Taiwan.</p>
<p>You still qualify for the standard deposit bonuses at Bet365 when you claim the mobile bonus, but you can generally only clear one bonus at a time.</p>
<p><strong><a href="/go/bet365/">Visit bet365</a></strong> or get <strong><a href="/bonus-codes/bet365/">a bet365 bonus code if you&#8217;re ready to deposit</a></strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you enjoy accumulator (aka parlay) bets and European league football action, Bet365 has a promotion that lines up quite well with your preferences.</p>
<p><strong><img style="MARGIN: 10px; FLOAT: right" border="0" alt="Bet365 football bonus" src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bet365-football-bonus.jpg" />In a nutshell:</strong> Bet365 is paying out bonuses up&nbsp;to &pound;100,000&nbsp;on accumulator wins involving Premier League, Serie A, Primera Liga, Bundesliga 1 or Champions League matches.</p>
<p><a href="/go/bet365/">Visit Bet365 now and get thousands in bonuses &gt;&gt;&gt;</a></p>
<p><strong>More details:&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;The more bets involved in your accumulator, the bigger your potential bonus.&nbsp; Bonuses start at 5% of your winnings&nbsp;for a &ldquo;treble&rdquo;, or three-match pick, and run all the way up to 100% for a 14&ndash;fold.</p>
<p>As mentioned above, bets must be on Premier League, Serie A, Primera Liga, Bundesliga 1 or Champions League matches.&nbsp; Additionally, the bets involved must be straight pre-match wagers on the full time result for the match.</p>
<p>What if one of your games gets the axe?&nbsp; In the case of postponement or cancellation of a match, you can still win your accumulator and the bonus.&nbsp; The terms dictate that the match will simply be removed from your accumulator, which also means that your accumulator will drop one-fold.</p>
<p>There is no play-through requirement mentioned in the bonus terms, nor does this bonus in any way appear to interfere with your first deposit bonus, new player bonus or any other promotion on bet365.</p>
<p>Standard bonus terms apply, so check everything out for yourself at Bet365.&nbsp; Both new players and existing players qualify for the Euro Football bonus at Bet365.</p>

</ul>
<p>It seems like there&#8217;s no end to the online poker rooms you can wade through in Europe, trying to find one that best suits your need as a serious poker player. You&#8217;ve tried a few that offered massive bonuses, but found too few players and tables open to even get the bonus. And you&#8217;ve played and the biggest sites, and never felt like you were rewarded or treated like anything more than a face in the crowd. You want to play somewhere with plenty of fish, but somewhere that rewards and excites you just for being a player. Welcome to Bet365 and their one of a kind poker room.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s start with the deposit bonus, something you&#8217;re used to seeing at other sites, but Bet365 does it differently. They give you a whopping 200% bonus of up to $1,000 just for depositing with them. This bonus is easy to earn out, with more than 10,000 players at the tables constantly, and gives you a serious step up on becoming a high roller on site; deposit $500, have $1,500 to play with once you&#8217;ve earned your bonus out completely. Pretty nice start, but what about the actual poker room?</p>
<p>To start, you&#8217;ll find a wealth of variety for the poker player, with limit, no limit, and pot limit variations of all your favorite game types, including standbys like hold&#8217;em and omaha, and new or interesting variations like razz, 13 card poker, or stud hi/lo, all ready to play with just a few clicks. Stakes vary from the micros to high limits, and if you want a change of pace, there are tournaments and sit and gos running round the clock, with tournament series and special sit and gos happening all the time. This includes promotions like premium tables, jackpot sit and gos, and more.</p>
<p>All of this seems well and good, but what about general promotions and rewards for the big time poker player? No worries, Bet365 has a wonderful VIP scheme that quickly ramps up the rewards as you progress, and a flat, easy to understand way to earn your merit points; generate a dollar in rake, earn 15 merit points. This eliminates worrying about maintaining levels to earn maximum points, as you&#8217;ll be earning the max from day one. All that changes is the conversion rates of turning those points into cash; all the way up to a cool $150,000, if you have the skill to earn 5,000,000 merit points.</p>
<p>Along with the VIP scheme, you also have excellent promotions running all the time, like the Premium Cash Ladder. Just play at the aforementioned premium tables, earn merit points, and get an extra cash bonus for playing at them, on top of what you get in merit points. The cash starts at $5 for earning (not spending!) 200 merit points, and tops out at an attractive $1,000 for earning just 40,000 merit points; not a bad chunk of change for just playing at a certain table type, and you get to keep your merit points earned as well; earning the $1,000 bonus will have you at the second highest tier of the VIP scheme; Platinum, and make your potential rewards from playing as good as you can get.</p>
<p>Bet365 poker is one of the most innovative, action packed sites you&#8217;ll find on the market today to get your poker fix. With plenty of variations, big bonuses, exciting and lucrative promotions, and 24/7 customer support, you&#8217;ll always feel like a winner from the second you deposit your first dollar into your account. Join the action and excitement at Bet365 poker and become a poker legend today.</p>

<p>When looking for an online casino, players generally have a few things in mind that help them determine exactly what they want for their gambling dollar. Big bonuses. Huge action. Exciting, innovative game types. Massive jackpots. VIP perks and rewards. At Bet365, the team behind the online casino they offer has listened to the requests of the gambler and has made the online gambling experience at Bet365 one of the richest around, both figuratively and literally, as you&#8217;ll see in our tour of the casino.</p>
<p>Right off the bat, when you download the Bet365 software and make your first deposit, you&#8217;ll be treated to your very first reward; a generous 100% match bonus of up to $200, so long as the deposit is greater than $25. This isn&#8217;t a bonus you have to earn to use, either. Once you&#8217;ve bet the amount of your deposit at the casino, the next bet you make will be from your bonus money, and will continue as such until you&#8217;ve bet all your bonus money. Bet the combined amount two more times, and you can withdraw immediately. No fine print, no hassle, just bet, play, win, and get cash.</p>
<p>The casino itself offers a wide array of game types for the gambler who loves variety. The slots feature colorful graphics, exciting themes, and massive jackpots. Take the Spamalot slot, featuring a jackpot that currently stands over half a million dollars. Or the exciting and bold Iron Man 2 slot, with a current jackpot of more than a quarter million dollars. If you&#8217;re more of a card game aficionado, there&#8217;s multiple variations to choose from that many casinos don&#8217;t have the space to offer. You can play caribbean stud, then switch over to pontoon. Or, go from casino war to multihand blackjack. It just takes a few clicks to get the card game you want up and running.</p>
<p>An incredibly neat and new feature of the Bet365 casino is the inclusion of live dealers to some of the games. You love the ability to play casino games from home, but want some live casino feel to your game. No worries, because for baccarat and blackjack players. you can have live dealers for both games. You can even choose the nationality of your dealer, in case you have a preference. Just click the table up, and within moments, you&#8217;ll have a real life dealer ready to sling cards your way, just like if you were at the boat itself. Even roulette and sic bo have live dealers ready to serve you, so there are multiple ways to feel at home at Bet365.</p>
<p>There are too many more ways to gamble at Bet365 to list, but we can hit on some of the more popular ones; craps, european and mini roulette, video poker, bingo, keno, scratch offs, and more await you at Bet365. You can even simply play a routine coin flip with &#8220;Heads or Tails&#8221; for real money, if you want your gambling to be as simple and to the point as humanly possible. With plentiful reload bonuses, exciting monthly and occasional promotions, and a VIP program designed to truly reward the gambler, you&#8217;ll never feel like you&#8217;re giving up any of the excitement that you&#8217;re used to seeing at your brick and mortar casino when you deposit and play at one of Europe&#8217;s best online casinos, Bet365.</p>

<h2>Overview of the Bet365 VIP Scheme</h2>
<p>Players at bet365 earn Merit Points with real money play in the poker room. The number of Merit Points a player earns determines their VIP status. The better the VIP status, the greater the rewards.</p>
<p>How much value can you get and what will it take to get it? Let&#8217;s start to dive a bit further into the VIP scheme at bet365.</p>
<p><a name="basics"></a></p>
<h2>Bet365 VIP Scheme: The Basics</h2>
<p>There are four levels to the VIP scheme at bet365 poker: <strong>Bronze, Silver, Gold and the top level: Platinum</strong>. To attain (and maintain) a VIP level, a player needs to earn a certain minimum number of Merit Points per month.</p>
<p><em>How do you earn Merit Points?</em> You play in real-money cash games or tournaments. For cash games you earn 15 points for every dollar you pay in rake. For tournaments at bet365, you earn 15 Merit Points for every dollar you pay in tournament fees. For tournament fees under $1, you earn a proportional amount of Merit Points.</p>
<p><em>If you&#8217;re not familiar, the tournament fee is the second number in a tournament buy in; if a tournament costs $10+ $1 to enter, the $1 is the tournament fee.</em></p>
<p><a name="movingup"></a></p>
<h2>Moving Up VIP Levels</h2>
<p>All players start below the base level of the VIP scheme &#8211; Bronze. To enter the first level of the scheme, you need to earn at least one Merit Point. Once you do, you&#8217;ll have earned Bronze status for the next month. To maintain that status, you&#8217;ll need to continue to earn at least one Merit Point a month. <strong>In terms of rake</strong>, that means you will need to pay about .07 in rake during the month to earn and maintain Bronze status.</p>
<p>Each level following works the same way &#8211; your VIP status for any given month is determined by the amount of Merit Points you earned the previous month. Below are the point thresholds for the VIP Status Levels at bet365:</p>
<ul>
<li>Platinum &#8211; 25,000 Merit Points</li>
<li>Gold &#8211; 10,000 Merit Points</li>
<li>Silver &#8211; 1,000 Merit Points</li>
<li>Bronze &#8211; 1 Merit Point</li>
</ul>
<p>A quick example will help to illustrate how the program works.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4225" style="margin: 10px;" title="bet365 VIP status" src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bet365-vip-status.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="146" />Dave signs up at Bet365 poker in December and he earns 1200 Merit Points in December. What VIP status will Dave have in January?</p>
<p>Silver. Dave earned at least 1000 (but less than the 10,000 needed for the Gold level) in December. Your VIP status at Bet365 Poker is determined anew every month, determined only by the amount of points you earned the month before. Therefore, Dave would have Silver status in January. The total number of Merit Points Dave has earned does not matter &#8211; only his individual month totals.</p>
<p>To maintain his VIP status, Dave will need to earn <strong>at least 1000 points every month</strong> going forward. If he fails to do so, he will loses his status the month after he does not meet the minimum points required. For example, if Dave had earned 20,000 points in December but none in January, he would have no VIP status in February.</p>
<p>You do not have to &#8220;spend&#8221; your points to get your VIP status &#8211; you just need to earn the required amount of points. You get to spend your points later on rewards.</p>
<p>Easy enough. Remember, however, that Merit Points are not really &#8220;free&#8221; &#8211; you basically pay for them by paying rake and tournament fees. To know how much the VIP Scheme is worth to you, you have to know how much you&#8217;re paying. Let&#8217;s take another look at those VIP point thresholds, but this time we&#8217;ll do the quick math and show how much rake (rounded up) you need to pay to achieve each status:</p>
<ul>
<li>Platinum &#8211; 25,000 Merit Points = $1667 in rake</li>
<li>Gold &#8211; 10,000 Merit Points = $667 in rake</li>
<li>Silver &#8211; 1,000 Merit Points = $67 in rake</li>
<li>Bronze &#8211; 1 Merit Point = .07 in rake</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8230; and let&#8217;s not forget that you need to pay that much rake every month for three months straight to earn that status before you reap the benefits of the status. We&#8217;ll come back to these numbers in the next section where we evaluate the actual value of the VIP scheme for players.</p>
<p><em><a href="#top">Back to top &gt;&gt;</a></em></p>
<p><a name="value"></a></p>
<h2>What You Get Out of the Bet365 VIP Scheme</h2>
<p>The two primary sources of value in the VIP program for poker players at bet365 are exchanging Merit Points for cash or tournament entries and &#8220;Loyalty Rewards.&#8221;</p>
<p>Unlike some VIP programs there is no multiplier element &#8211; you earn Merit Points at the same rate no matter what your VIP status is</p>
<p><a name="exchange"></a></p>
<h3>Merit Points Exchange</h3>
<p>You can exchange Merit Points for <strong>cash or tournament entries</strong>. The higher your VIP status, the larger the rewards. In order to qualify for an exchange you must meet three conditions:</p>
<ol>
<li>You must have achieved the VIP Status required by the exchange</li>
<li>You must have maintained that status for a minimum of three months prior to the exchange</li>
<li>You must have enough points for the exchange</li>
</ol>
<p>In case you&#8217;re wondering, exchanging points does not impact your VIP status. You keep your VIP status when you spend points, because your VIP status is based on the amount of points you earn.</p>
<p>The table below breaks down the relative value of tournament and cash game rewards at Bet365. The first column shows the amount of Merit Points you need to spend in order to get the reward. The second shows the cash value of the award. The third is arguably the most important and shows the rakeback percentage the reward represents &#8211; basically the actual value of the reward. The fourth shows the amount of rake you need to pay to acquire the Merit Points required for the reward, and the final shows the minimum VIP Status required to qualify for the exchange.</p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bet365-vip-value-table.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4226" title="bet365 vip value table" src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bet365-vip-value-table.jpg" alt="bet365 vip value table" width="500" height="440" /></a></p>
<p>Obviously the largest rewards also represent the most value, but the level of rake required for the top rewards is simply out of reach of the casual player.</p>
<p>For example, a mid-stakes tournament player probably has an average buy in of about $30, meaning they pay about $3 in tournament fees each time they play a tournament &#8211; good for 45 Merit Points. To get the points required for the top reward a player would have to rack up well over 100,000 tournaments &#8211; or over 300 a day if you wanted to do it in a year.</p>
<p>Anyhow, at the lower tiers, <strong>tournament tickets are generally a better value for your points than cash bonuses</strong>, but not by much. This value is also completely negated if you&#8217;re not good at tournaments.</p>
<p>The real lesson to take from the chart is that it&#8217;s really worth it to hold on to your points as long as you possibly can &#8211; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the more points you have, the more each individual point is worth.</span></p>
<p><a name="loyalty"></a></p>
<h3>Loyalty Rewards</h3>
<p>Loyalty Rewards are only available to players in the Platinum Tier. Here&#8217;s how they work: If you maintain your Platinum status for consecutive months, Bet365 will give you extra rewards. These rewards do not require you to spend any points. Loyalty rewards are given at 3,6 and 12 months of consecutive Platinum status:</p>
<ul>
<li>Three Months: $350</li>
<li>Six Months: $800</li>
<li>Twelve Months: $1750</li>
</ul>
<p>At a bare minimum, maintaining Platinum VIP Status for 12 consecutive months will require you to pay $20,000 in rake. That means loyalty bonuses are worth several extra percentage points in rakeback, especially if you can manage to maintain the status for 12 months.  </p>
<p><strong>Important</strong>: You have to contact bet365 to claim this bonus.</p>
<p><strong>Also Important</strong>: These bonuses do not &#8220;stack&#8221; &#8211; if you cash in a 3 month bonus, you are back to 0 months for the purpose of earning Loyalty Rewards.  So, if you maintain Platinum status for 12 months, you can either get the 12 month bonus ($1750) or two 6 month bonuses, or four 3 month bonuses &#8211; not the 12 month bonus AND all of the other bonuses on the way.</p>
<p><em><a href="#top">Back to top &gt;&gt;</a></em></p>
<p><a name="fineprint"></a></p>
<h2>Bet365 VIP Scheme: Fine Print</h2>
<p>We encourage all players &#8211; especially those planning to put in significant rake to take advantage of the VIP Scheme &#8211; to read the full terms and conditions and become intimately familiar with them. That said, there are a few points of the terms that <strong>everyone should be aware of</strong>.</p>
<p>Quoted directly from bet365:</p>
<ul>
<li>Should a player pay no rake or tournament fees for a period of 13 weeks, their entire Merit Point balance will be forfeited.</li>
<li>Regardless of player activity, all unused Merit Points will expire after 12 months.</li>
<li>Any prize/bonus amounts offered will be calculated using the current currency multiplier table as determined at the sole discretion of bet365.</li>
<li>In each calendar month, players may receive a maximum of one Cash Reward and one Tournament Token Reward.</li>
</ul>

</ul>
<p>Bet365 is one of the <strong>top online gambling sites around</strong>, with a huge variety of ways to flex your gambling muscle. But, for players that enjoy the risks and rewards that come with gambling, they like to feel rewarded for their continued play at a single site, in the form of bonuses, promotions, and free cash. Bet365 makes sure to let their players feel rewarded from the second the deposit for the first time, and we&#8217;ll look at some examples of Bet365 generosity with their exciting deposit bonuses and promotions.</p>
<p>Being <strong>a poker player</strong> at Bet365 is one of the most rewarding ways to play, as the new player bonus for signing up is an absolute steal. Simply deposit on Bet365&#8242;s poker client, and you&#8217;ll be rewarded with a 200% match bonus of up to $1,000 to earn out. You&#8217;ll also have plenty of freerolls and other bonuses and promotions, like the Premium Cash Ladder, to constantly add opportunities to boost your bankroll without having to deposit more money into your account. With an awesome VIP scheme to top it all off, the bonuses for being a poker player at Bet365 are off the charts.</p>
<p><a href="/bet365/">Read a review of Bet365 Poker</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Casino and games players</strong> are also eligible for some sweet rewards, starting with a $200 initial match bonus that goes along with your deposit to instantly double your effective bankroll right off the bat. You don&#8217;t have to earn a set amount of points or anything similar in order to unlock the bonus, either; once you&#8217;ve wagered your initial deposit, your bonus amount will become your bankroll until you&#8217;ve wagered it as well; meaning you&#8217;ve doubled your bankroll from the start instead of after you clear the deposit, which sometimes could take gamblers multiple deposits in order to reach.</p>
<p><strong>Sports bettors</strong> are also eligible for plenty of bonuses and rewards as well, including the same $200 initial match bonus that the casino and games players get. The bonuses don&#8217;t just stop after the deposit, however, as Bet365 gives sports bettors unique ways to get free bets and cash. A current example of one of these promotions is the Channel 4/1 Race, where backing a winner getting 4/1 or more on a Channel 1 race nets you a free bet along with the cash; having a little faith nets you some pretty unique rewards with Bet365. Even Bingo players will find a bonus waiting for them when the fire up Bet365 Bingo for the first time, with a 25 pound bonus waiting for them to unlock after spending just 5 pounds on the bingo site; that&#8217;s like getting a 500% first deposit bonus, what a deal!</p>
<p>Along with all these great deposit bonuses and ongoing promotions, random promotions and seasonal promotions will also come and go throughout the year to help grow your bankroll even further without any risk or effort. The more you play, the higher your VIP level will get with some of the features, netting you even more freerolls and a chance to use your playing frequency to earn even more rewards via the VIP exchange program. That&#8217;s just another way that Bet365 finds a way to give back to the player, and one of the main reasons why every player of Bet365, from the small stakes bingo player to the $1 slot player to the $25/$50 no limit hold&#8217;em guru will all find a way to be rewarded and feel rewarded for being a player on Bet365, Europe&#8217;s premier online gambling center.</p>

<p>When looking for a good sportsbook online, a prospective gambler keeps his eye out for one that offers bettors some of the best odds and sleekest features you can get out of a sportsbook; the closer it looks like a authentic casino book, the better the book is to you and for you. Bet365 gives gamblers one of the most sophisticated sportsbooks available to online gamblers, with bonuses and perks galore to make your gambling dollar stretch even further than ever before.</p>
<p>First, just for depositing, you&#8217;ll earn yourself a 100% bonus on your deposit of $25 or more, up to a maximum of $200. Once you&#8217;ve bet your way through the amount of the deposit, you&#8217;ll be betting your match bonus for your next bets. Just bet the combined total of your bonus and withdrawal three times, and you&#8217;ll be able to cash out. (Example, you deposit $150. Your second $150 will be your bonus money, and at $900, you&#8217;ll be eligible for cash outs with your funds.) Simple, easy to follow directions for playing with your bonus and cashing out, without any fine print or hidden bells or whistles to possible trick you.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve deposited, you&#8217;ll find that the sportsbook at Bet364 is state of the art and ready to serve you. The home screen for the sportsbook has, on the left side of the screen, a list of every major betting sport you can think off. Old standbys like MLB, NBA, and Golf run right alongside Greyhounds, Australian Rules Football, and Darts, meaning anything you think you might want to bet on, you can. Once you click a tab, the listed events in that particular sport or event will pop up on your main page, complete with real time score updates and even live &#8220;In Play&#8221; matches that allow you to bet on results right as the game progresses; see a team score and suddenly think you might want to fire a bet on them coming from behind for the win? The odds change as the game progresses, in real time, and you can jump on a bet at any point.</p>
<p>Are you a fan of prop betting? No worries, as Bet365 has props for most variations of sports to make your gambling experience even more diverse and interesting. For example, in the MLB section, you can bet on winning margins, when the first run or home run be scored, and selecting which inning the most runs will be scored, all with real time updates to the props as the game progresses. Once you find the bet that best suits you, the betting process is simple; simply click the bet that you want to make, and it automatically comes up on your bet slip. Just enter in the amount you want to stake, and click &#8220;Place Bet&#8221; and you&#8217;ve made your bet! A nifty calculator next to the stake box tells you exactly how much you stand to win from your bet, an added measure of convenience that Bet365 added to make their sportsbook even more user friendly.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all you need to know to fire up and start fully utilizing the Bet365 sportsbook; a quick deposit process, a scan of your favorite betting options, and a two click bet process, and you&#8217;ve placed your first bet with Bet365. With all the options and bonuses (including occasional reload bonuses for players looking for even more in bonus money) the only choice for players looking for an online sportsbook should be Bet365.</p>
