Absolute Poker's current deposit bonus is 200% up to $200. The bonus clears as you accumulate Absolute Reward Points(see Player Rewards below for how points are accumulated). The bonus does clear $10 at a time (100 ARP = $10) and it moves to your real money account immediately. The clearance rate is manageable at most mid to lower level limits...the clearance feels faster than most because you are clearing it in $10 chunks. Pending bonuses expire 60 days after deposit. Absolute Poker is by far the leader in reload bonuses, offering multiple reloads nearly every week.

The story starts way back in 2003 when Absolute Poker was in its developmental stage. They created accounts to test their program and one such account, #363, was created for just that purpose. This account could see everyone’s hole cards at any table to make sure that pots were distributed correctly. This account could be used to play for real money and it was tied to someone in the company.

Absolute Poker has identified someone that they claim is to blame for the breach of security in their statement. The one to blame is a high ranking trusted consultant employed by Absolute Poker. His position gave him particular access to certain security systems. They never released the high ranking consultants name in the statement but they did go on to say that he devised a very thought out scheme to manipulate internal systems to access third-party computers and their accounts, so that they could see the hole cards of other customer’s who were in play without their knowledge. They ... said in the statement that the high ranking consultant was immediately terminated when they found out who was behind the breach of security.

Absolute Poker offers two of the easiest payout methods for US players: ePassporte and paper checks via standard mail. Either way is straightforward and allows you to receive payouts quickly. You will need an established ePassporte account to withdraw electronically. However, once you have your account in the system withdrawals are received within 24 hours. Paper checks are ... processed for free.

Absolute Poker hasn’t made much of a statement. They have been pretty quiet about this story. Hopefully they will soon explain what happened and why. Hopefully those two men are punished for what they did. It has been said that the money will be returned to those players who played against these accounts but that is a pretty hard thing to do.
