How to Maximize Your BCPoker Bonuses: Our Full Test

More and more new online poker rooms are appearing, which can be especially beneficial for newcomers. They try to attract players with generous promotions or starting bonuses, and BCPoker stands out. This is a room from a major sports bet site, which has already run several major promotions and become a partner of the GipsyTeam Counter-Strike 2 tournament.

We decided to test how much free money you could get at BCPoker without a major investment.

To do this, we made a deposit of $100 and didn't play above NL20 (with one exception on day five of our experiment).

Registration Bonuses

The first surprise comes even before registration! Some bonuses are only available when creating an account on a mobile device. However, you can then play on a PC using the same login and password without any issues.

We recommend creating an account with our promo code GTPRO. We offer generous rakeback for active players, and everyone has access to exclusive promotions and tournaments. If you've already registered but want to join us, please contact our support team, and we'll help.

Creating an account will immediately allow you to participate in freerolls:

• Weekly freerolls for $100. Two tournaments on weekends: Saturday (12:00 UTC) and Sunday (20:00 UTC).
• Monthly freeroll for $250.

The room isn't the most popular, so the competition in the freerolls is purely symbolic. Our exclusive freerolls with a prize pool of $250 attracted 150 participants. That's not bad value!

We recommend verifying your identity immediately after registration by completing KYC—you'll earn 5 BCD for this. Account verification is very simple—all you need to do is provide a photo of your passport and turn your head in front of the camera. It takes no more than 5 minutes.

BCD is the room's internal currency, equivalent to the dollar; some bonuses are paid in it. BCD cannot be withdrawn directly, but it can be converted into cash in several ways:

• Use in casino games.
• Participate in exclusive BCD tournaments.
• Buy chips for BCD to play at special cash tables for beginners (promised to be launched in the future).
• 10% rake at poker tables is automatically paid from BCD. Example: $2 in the pot creates 0.1 commission. You'll receive 1.91, and 0.01 BCD will be deducted from your account.

You can earn the room's internal currency in a variety of ways: by participating in promotions, completing missions, and following promotions on the website and Telegram. You can also earn a small amount of BCD simply for logging into the site daily. We easily earned a little over 15 BCD in the first couple of days – a small amount for regular visits, 5 BCD for verification, and another 10 BCD for completing missions.

First Bonus Deposit & Telegram Subscription Bonus

Newcomers to BCPoker are offered an additional 10% bonus on their first deposit, ranging from $10 to $2,000. This means the maximum bonus is $200, which is immediately available for play. However, to withdraw it, you'll need to wager the bonus amount five times. This means that to unlock the $200, you'll need to accumulate $1,000 in rake—essentially an additional 20% rakeback. On the plus side, there's no rush, and there's no time limit on how long it takes to clear.

We limited our deposit to $100, and the well-deserved $10 became available for cashout after seven days of play—immediately after completing the beginner's tasks.

You can receive a random prize of up to $2,000 by joining the BCPoker group on Telegram. After subscribing, you'll need to send the bot your UID (the six-digit number under your nickname on the main page), after which it will send you a unique password. Enter this in the "Redeem Code" field in your account settings.

The prize is guaranteed, but we weren't particularly lucky.

You can also get ahead in freerolls. They run every hour, and prizes are paid out in the form of MTT tickets.

How to Complete Missions on BCPoker

The second major reason to register through the mobile app is the welcome missions for newcomers, which are reminiscent of the "Honeymoon" feature on GGPoker. Three tasks are assigned daily for a week, and points are awarded for successfully completing them. Prizes are paid out upon reaching 10, 20, 65, and 100 points. The maximum reward is 10 BCD and $120.

The first missions, as usual, are the easiest:

However, surprises immediately followed. After sitting down and folding to a 60bb shove in the big blind (our opponent had a lot of heart!), we failed to complete the "Play 1 hand" challenge. It turns out that only a hand in which you put more than 2bb into the pot counts as a played hand. This means preflop folds and limped pots don't count.

Spins turned out to be easier—just play any game, no strings attached. Buy-ins start at $0.25 (though during the week-long test, the game consistently played only at this stake).

Day two:

Local clubs will be familiar to mobile app players: you can join them and play with friends at private tables. At the time of testing, applying was only possible from the mobile client. There are many clubs, and you can choose any one to complete the task.

To complete the second task, we sat down to play a freeroll, but then we were in for a second surprise: it turned out they don't count. Luckily, you won't need much money here either – buy-ins on the schedule start at $0.5.

Day three:

What would 2026 be without casino tasks? They're only available through the mobile app, and bets must be made from your real balance; BCD won't count. However, the required amount is still quite small, so the EV for this task is only 12 cents.

Completing the emoji challenge turned out to be tricky—we tried them all, with and without reason. It turned out that you have to send the ones that appear when you click your opponent's avatar. Chat emojis won't work.

Day four:

On the fourth day, perhaps the first task that can't be accomplished in a flash appears: play 100 hands. Due to the 2bb requirement, we ended up playing around 600 hands, unless we were lucky enough to end up at a heads-up table (which is exactly what happened to us). In the end, it took several hours, and if you're selective or don't play at stakes above NL20, it could take a whole day.

You can invite a friend by copying the link or code in the "Referral" tab. To complete the task, simply register your friend (wife, brother, cat); verification is not required.

The completed task in the screenshot is to play 2 spins. You're awarded 4 points.

Day 5:

The global chat is different from the one at the table. It's located on the client's main page. You can access it by clicking the icon in the upper-right corner. The global chat is convenient for keeping track of current promotions. Recently, for example, they were giving out $5 for screenshots of the most interesting hands.

The prize money in the MTT freeroll doesn't count. However, making it into the money, given the AFS and the strength of the field, isn't that difficult.

Playing 150 hands at NL50 or higher was much more challenging, as our bankroll wasn't huge. The actual number of hands required to complete the task is around 900, with a VPIP of around 20. Moreover, given the low traffic, it could take all day. If you take it on, look for heads-up or other short-handed tables.

Day Six:

Day seven:

To earn 100 points and receive the maximum prize of $130, you likely won't be able to get by with a small deposit. On Day 6, you'll need to play about a thousand hands at NL100. The good news is that if you complete all the tasks on Day 6 and the first two on Day 7, you can skip NL200+—you'll already have 103 points (out of the required 100).

We completed all the tasks of the first five days and scored 65 points – for which we were given $20.

To sum it up, to get the most out of your tournaments, you'll have to grind hard in the final days, as you still need to reach the top 3 and top 5 in MTTs. Fortunately, the grinding conditions at BCPoker are quite good thanks to leaderboards and other promotions, and the tournaments are small.

Rake Races & Cash Game Promotions

The most points in missions are awarded for playing at various Hold'em limits, so it's best to combine completing missions with participating in leaderboards.

BCPoker Daily Rake Race

Every day, the room runs a leaderboard in two categories: for NL stakes from $0.05 to $0.5 big blinds and for NL100-200. Points are awarded for each hand played. The higher the stake, the more points. The rules are the same as for missions: any pot in which you invest more than 2bb counts as a hand.

BB: $0.05-$0.5

BB: $1-$10

The awards are distributed as follows:

Results of one of the latest races:

from NL5 to NL50

NL100-200

Thus, to take first place on the leaderboard up to NL50, you'll need to play about 170 hands at NL50 or 300 hands at NL20 (though we suspect participants are mixing stakes). In the second race, you'll need about 400 hands at NL100 and half as many at NL200. With the current online traffic, winning the leaderboards will require grinding all day, but cashing in is fairly easy. Furthermore, the room's traffic is gradually increasing.

Exclusive BCPoker Race from GipsyTeam

From May 8th to 18th, BCPoker is hosting the Rake Climbers race for everyone who registered a GT account. The race features a new "chase-pass" format: every 10 days, players will win $500.

The unique format is that five prizes are awarded in categories with a fixed rake amount per qualifying period, and you can participate in all of them simultaneously—at each level, all previous ones are taken into account:

Participating in our leaderboard is especially beneficial due to the low competition. For example, by the end of the last race, there was only one participant in the highest-paying tier of 1,000 US+, three in the $500 tier, and only nine in the $250 tier. The new leaderboard starts on May 8th—a great opportunity to build your bankroll in the new room.

Race results are published in Telegram.

Other Bonuses on BCPoker

The Lucky Spin promotion lets you win up to US$1,000 by spinning a wheel with various prizes. Every 10 spins also awards an MTT ticket, with your first spin counting as 5.

Possible rewards:

Entry tickets are awarded once per day for playing hands in cash games at limits of NL100 and NL200. You can earn up to four per day.

The room also hosts a daily "Cash Rain" promotion with a prize pool of $3,000. While playing at Hold'em tables during the promotion, cash drops will be randomly awarded, the size of which depends on the limit being played.

During the game, cash drops occurred 5-6 times. The total pot was increased by 10-20 big blinds, but we didn't manage to win a single cash drop hand. However, we were playing at micro-stakes; at higher stakes, the frequency of drops is higher.

Hold'em also features a jackpot for hitting rare hands. Its size depends on the limit, and the prize depends on the strength of the hand:

The combination must involve two hole cards, and the jackpot will be activated if there are at least four players at the table and the pot is greater than 10 BB.

What About BCPoker Rakeback?

The BCPoker loyalty program consists of six levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Royal. Each level is divided into three ranks. Players start with a 10% bonus and reach a maximum of 50%. Players advance in level by accumulating VPS points, which are awarded for rake paid. This increases the cashback percentage and also grants a one-time bonus to their balance.

Rakeback is automatically credited on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th of each month. Reached levels must be confirmed within the next 30-day period, otherwise, they will be reduced by one level.

Quick Recap

Let's recap! We played in the room for a week, deposited $100, and received $20 and 10 BCD for missions. We also received 5 BCD for verification.

Additionally, we could use the $10 deposit bonus. During our bonus hunt, we didn't manage to get above 10% RB. We only managed to reach the "Bronze 3" level, which gave us about $10.

Completing the missions that awarded Lucky Spin tickets was beyond our bankroll, and we only won half a dollar for subscribing to Telegram.
