Many people think of Full Tilt Points as a way to purchase merchandise or special promotional items from the exclusive Full Tilt store. However, do not be in too much of a hurry to buy the Full Tilt umbrella or big screen television. By utilizing the various promotions offered by Full Tilt poker, you can actually use your points to generate extra cash. There are three major ways that you can take advantage of Full Tilt Points to increase your bankroll.

Iron Man Medals

By earning Full Tilt Points, you also qualify to earn Iron Man Medals. This is one of the best and easiest ways to generate cash bonuses while playing at Full Tilt Poker. You achieve a status with Full Tilt Poker during your first month of play. If you maintain this status (or move up a level) you are awarded with medals at the end of each month. By continuing to play well and earn more medals over consecutive months, you have the opportunity to earn even more medals. The best part is that you can keep your regular Full Tilt Points to buy whatever you like. How do the medals turn into cash?

You can visit the Iron Man store while at Full Tilt Poker and cash in your medals for a variety of cash bonuses that are immediately added to your bankroll, no strings attached. The following are the cash bonuses and the corresponding medal prices for each:

$26 Cash Bonus = 140 Iron Man Medals
$75 Cash Bonus = 400 Iron Man Medals
$100 Cash Bonus = 600 Iron Man Medals
$300 Cash Bonus = 1600 Iron Man Medals
$600 Cash Bonus = 3000 Iron Man Medals

Full Tilt Point Tournaments

As part of a new promotional offer, Full Tilt Poker allows players to turn in 5,000 Full Tilt Point to enter a guaranteed $250,000 prize pool tournament. This means that players that come in in the top slots win a portion of the prize money. Even if you do not have the 5,000 points to enter the big tournament, Full Tilt Poker offers satellite qualifying tournaments for a mere 50 Full Tilt Points. By playing well at the tournaments, you can easily turn your Full Tilt Points into cash. As the points cover the buy-in, losing does not diminish your bank roll, only your point roll. So, if you’re strapped for cash but still want to play in a tournament, check your Full Tilt Points on the cashier page. You may be able to play for real money without risking any of your own.

Training

One of the often overlooked ways to turn your Full Tilt Point into cash is by buying training materials or exclusive training section access by using your points. By studying up on poker, you can increase your potential to win money while playing poker over time. If you find yourself at a loss for what move to make during games, using 7300 Full Tilt points to buy Phil Gordon’s “Little Green Book” might be a good move. You can also use 3000 Full Tilt Points to purchase a 24 hour pass to Full Tilt Poker’s training section of their site. While there, you can watch up to 50 videos of professionals explaining strategy and giving online poker tips. As you are learning the game, investing in training is likely your first good decision.
