The CashFlow Bonus Program If you play an average of 2-3 hours a day on a US $5/10 table your direct payout from PokerChamps will be approx. US $100 in one week!
Finally a bonus program without all the conditions! Our CashFlow Bonus Program beats any sign up or deposit bonus or frequent player program anywhere on the net. It continues week after week and does not stop because a sign up bonus was reached. Whereas regular sign up bonuses are dependent on your initial deposit and a large number of raked hands before you ever see any of the cash - the CashFlow Bonus Program simply pays you back instantly.
Weekly PayDay The CashFlow Bonus Program is a new way of making a profit from being a player at PokerChamps. You simply collect points by playing - the more you play, the more points you earn. The big difference from this program and other frequent player programs is that your player points are automatically converted to cash and transferred to your account on a weekly basis - we call it the Friday Payout.
Levels, points and cash The CashFlow Bonus Program is divided into a number of levels determining how much cash you receive in return from your points. Your level depends on the number of bonus points you earn during one week of play. You earn points from your own play as well as points from other players you have signed up. More details below: PokerChamps Integrated Affiliate Program.
Earning Money from Bonus Points We share with you All poker sites make money by taking a rake from each hand played. PokerChamps is no different from this - but instead of just keeping it for ourselves we share it with you. But first let us look at the levels of the CashFlow Bonus Program.
Level structures You start out at bonus level 1 and as you earn points during the week you automatically advance to a higher bonus level for an increasingly better deal as you go along.
Weekly reset Each Friday your points are converted to cash and deposited into your account. Your bonus point status is then reset to zero and your level is again set to 1. The level you have reached by Friday, at 6 AM (EST) / 11AM (GMT), determines the rate at which your points are converted into cash. Before your weekly points are reset they will be added to your accumulated CashFlow Bonus account. Accumulated Bonus Points You will be able to use your Accumulated Bonus Points in exchange for buy-in to specific Tourneys, or various merchandise in our web-store, when these options are introduced.
Example If you have earned 2,500 points you are on level 4 and your return in Dollars will be calculated as 20% of your points, meaning that US $5 will be transferred to your account. The CashFlow Bonus Program has 10 levels, each level increasing the return percentage you receive.
The table shows you examples of how bonus points are converted into real money.
Calculating Bonus Points Fairness To make it as fair as possible for all PokerChamps players, we have created a CashFlow Bonus Program that calculates your bonus points based exactly on how much of the rake you contributed to each hand played.
Calculating points from your rake contribution If you play at a table with 10 players and the pot reaches US $60 or more, PokerChamps will collect a total rake of US $3. If no one has folded at this point, your bonus points will be calculated as 1/10 of US $3 = 30 cents = 30 points. The amount we calculate is always based on the exact amount of money you have contributed to the rake when it is taken. Thus, if you fold at an earlier stage in the game you will only get points for the amount you have contributed to the pot relative to the pot size when the total rake is taken.
Example If you for instance play at a table with four players, and you choose to fold after having contributed US $10 and the pot reaches US $60 or more with the rest of the players staying in the game, US $3 will be taken in total rake and your points will be calculated as follows: You contributed US $10 to the US $60 pot, which is equal to 16,6% of the pot (10/60). Your rake contribution is now calculated as 16,6% of US $3 = 50 cents = 50 points.
Converting Bonus Points to Money The above bonus level table is used to convert your weekly points into real money. Of course this calculation and the payout is performed automatically. You can follow your earnings in the Cashier Account Overview.
Payout amount You calculate your payout by finding your current level in the table and then taking the corresponding percentage of your bonus points. When you reach level 5 your payout will be 25%. If you have 40,000 points your payout will be 25% of 40,000 that equals US $100 in one week.
Example To reach 40,000 points you need to have participated in between 800 and 1300 hands with six to ten players seated and where the rake limit of US $3 is reached in each hand. It takes approximately one minute to finish a hand, so in other words, if you play an average of 2-3 hours a day during a week your direct payout from PokerChamps will be US $100 in one week! This is superior to any other frequent player program on the net!

Integrated system We call our affiliate program integrated because it integrates with the CashFlow Bonus Program. This means that everything is calculated in bonus points, both your own play and your affiliates' play. Weekly payouts (conversion of bonus points to real money) take place in accordance with the CashFlow Bonus Program payout. Please see above for an explanation of the CashFlow Bonus Program.
Endless bonus benefit Bonus points are collected from the players who sign up under your affiliate code and from those who again sign up below these and so on down the tree. As those you sign up are also free to sign up others, your affiliate tree will soon begin to grow exponentially. You will automatically receive bonus points from all players down your affiliate tree.
How the Affiliate Program Works In the affiliate section of the Cashier you will instantly see how much money your affiliates have generated for you. This is of course the most important information, but for those who wish to know in detail how the affiliate program is calculated, the following descriptions explain the system. It may seem a little complicated at first but you will soon see the logic in the system.
Break down of points As an affiliate you operate with three different types of points, we refer to the points as P1, P2 and P3.
P1 points P1 is simply your own bonus points, generated by your own play, so these are the points the bonus system is referring to - for each cent contributed in rake one point is awarded. Please refer to the CashFlow Bonus Program section for a complete explanation on how points are calculated relative to the rake.
P2 points P2-points derive from points of those players in the tree immediately below you. You will receive one P2-point for each P1-point your affiliate players generate minus the points these players cash out according to their bonus level code.
The following examples illustrate P1- and P2-points:
Your player name is Adam and in one week your own play has generated 3,000 bonus points (P1-points) by contributing US $30 in rake. You have signed up two people under your affiliate code; they are named Bob and Carl.
Bob has generated 4,000 bonus points (his P1-points, from generating US $40 in rake) during this weeks play, and Carl has generated 12,000 points (his P1-points, from generating US $120 in rake). Neither Bob nor Carl has signed up any affiliates under their names, so your affiliate player tree ends here.
Since Bob has earned 4,000 bonus points he has reached level 4 of the CashFlow Bonus Program, which means that he will receive a 20% cash return of his 4,000 P1-points, which equals US $8.
Carl has earned 12,000 P1-points and has reached level 5, which means that he will receive a 25% return of his 12,000 P1-points, which equals US $30.
Now, your P2-points are simply the sum of Bob's and Carl's P1-points minus the points they have received in payout.
Bob: 4,000 - 20% = 3,200 Carl: 12,000 - 25% = 9,000 Your P2-points will be calculated as P2 = 3,200 + 9,000 = 12,200 Your own account (Adam) now looks like this: P1 = 3,000 P2 = 12,200 Total bonus points = 15,200
This amount of points qualifies you for payout level 5. This means your payout this week will be 25% of 15,200, which equals US $38.00.
As you can now see, your own play and your affiliates' play are combined into one single point system used for determining your actual payout percentage.
Points from Your Affiliates' Affiliates We will now go one step further down the affiliate tree to the P3-points.
Unlimited affiliate tree The P3 are the points you receive from the points generated by your affiliates' affiliates or sub-affiliates. Your own direct affiliate players are level one affiliates and their affiliate players become level two affiliates and so forth. There is no limit to the number of affiliate or sub-affiliate levels in your tree. Although the points you receive decrease the further down the tree you go, you still do receive part of the action generated by affiliates far below your original line of affiliates. So the more your own affiliates and sub-affiliates refer new players to sign up the more you get in the end.
P3 points The P3-points are calculated in the following way: You receive ¼ of a point for each bonus point earned by your affiliates' affiliates. This is the sum of their P2- and P3-points multiplied by ¼. In other words 25% of their points are moved to the next level and so forth.
Using the example from above, let's assume that both Bob and Carl have signed up some friends. Bob has signed Dan and Carl has signed Eric. Dan and Eric generate 5,000 and 6,000 P1-points respectively.
Their bonus is calculated as: Dan: 5,000 * 25% = US $12.50 Eric: 6,000 * 25% = US $15
Bob who signed up Dan will now receive 3,750 P2-points (5,000 - 1250) Carl who signed up Eric will now receive 4,500 P2-points (6,000 - 1500)
Bob now has the following points: P1-points (his own play): 4,000 P2-points (his affiliate Dan's play): 3,750 Total bonus points: 7,750 - Bob's payout is now: 77.50 * 25% = US $19.38
Before signing up Dan he received US $8 from his own play. By signing up more players his total bonus points will increase and he will quickly reach the 25% level and so forth.
For Carl the calculation looks like this: P1-points (his own play): 12,000 P2-points (his affiliate Eric's play): 4,500 Total bonus points: 16,500 - Carl's payout is now: 165.00 * 25% = US $41.25
For Adam (the first player in the tree) the following calculation will apply: P1-points (Adam's own play): 3,000 P2-points from Bob 4,000 - 20% = 3,200 P2-points from Carl 12,000 - 25% = 9,000 P3-points from Bob's Dan (5,000 - 25%) * ¼ = 1,000 P3-points from Carl's Eric (6,000 - %25) * ¼ = 1,125 Total bonus points: 17,325 - Adam's payout is now: 173.25 * 25% = US $43.31
Before signing up any friends Adam was making US $6 in weekly bonus. By signing Bob and Carl who again signed up their friends, Adam is now earning US $43.31 a week. So without doing any extra work Adam is instantly receiving an extra 720% in weekly cash payout.
