Full Tilt Poker brought the Black Card to prove that they are definitely on the list of top Texas Holdem sites on the Internet. The players putting in the highest volumes will receive some extras that most other players don't have access to. Such extras include double Full Tilt Points, personalized customer service, and an exclusive Black Card store. As physical proof that they have been invited into such an exclusive club, each member will receive a physical Black Card in the mail.
 
Players need to log a ton of hours on their Full Tilt download in order to attain the Black Card status. To get into the club, players must earn an average of 500 Full Tilt Points over 100 days. Another way to look at it is 50k Full Tilt Points over 100 days. This is no easy task, especially for microstakes players. For those playing slightly higher, there is a hidden benefit in this requirement: the Full Tilt Poker download gives the Black Card benefits after 3 months rather than after a year.

The most important store item for players on download free poker sites is usually cash bonuses. The Black Card store has bonuses between $50 and $2,000 for sale, and each bonus is available after paying a set number of Full Tilt Points. Note that the cash is not immediately deposited into the real money account. Players are required to clear this bonus; for every Full Tilt Point earned, $0.04 of the bonus is cleared. Earning a bonus with a PokerStars marketing code is done in exactly the same way. The bonus must be cleared within a 90 day period, otherwise it will expire.

As mentioned, Black Card members also receive double the Full Tilt Points at all tables and personalized customer support. Every hand played under a Black Card membership will earn you twice as many Full Tilt Points. You won't want to waste time on any poker flash sites when you're earning so many Points at the Full Tilt tables. Regarding exclusive customer support, each Black Card member will receive both a welcome email and personalized physical Black Card sent to their home address. Both the welcome email and Black Card will hold the direct email address of the customer service representative dedicated to them. This is one of the only Mac poker sites that gives personalized support like this.

It seems to me that Full Tilt introduced this promotion to compete with Supernova, which is found on a PokerStars, one of the best US poker sites online. Many players are pleased that they can attain Black Card status in mere months. Supernova, on the other hand, takes an entire year to earn! If you already play on Full Tilt, maybe you already have a Black Card being sent to you right now. Be sure to check your email!
