There are two Poker sites that i know of that have where you can get poker points by playing in their freeroll tourneys. The top 40 places award you with poker points. These sites are BugsysClub.com and Pokerpages.com. Click on their free play tab after you sign up and start playing. there are alot of nice players on the sites.
These tourneys are ran every 20 minutes on the hour. When you play in the freerolls and you win points, you will then be able to play in their Holdem games for points and win points at the tables, but you can also lose them on the regular tables, so watch how you bet them ok.
They also start you out with 1000 in play money at the play money tables. You do not earn points in those, but you keep what play money you win.
There are also two another sites that i like to play in and they are WingowsPoker.com gives you $5.00 in real money just for signing up, no deposit.
The other site PitBullPoker.com. PitBull gives you $10.00 in free money just for signing up, w... | | Read Entire Entry |

Another Update.
World Poker Exchange now offers a $50 FPP (Frequent Player Points) freeroll. It costs 100 FPP to enter. That is better than the 1000 FPP it costs to enter the $500 FPP freeroll.
Well, actually it is about the same I suppose. 10x and many points for 10x the payout. Bottom prize is $1.75 for the 100 FPP and $17.50 for the 1000 FPP freeroll. $15 for top on the 100 and $150 for top on the 1000 FPP freeroll.
The problem for play money as well as real money players, You only earn points if you call the flop. In the case of the play money player 1/300 of a point for every flop you call.
The bigger problem for the for the play money players. It would take 30,000 hands seeing the flop for everyone of those hands to earn your 100 FPP to be able to join the 100 FP freeroll. BTW, you are only permitted to earn 5 points a day for play money tables. You would have to see 1500 hands to get all those 5 points. So assume you could play 100 hands per hour.

Here is a little quote from Absolute's FAQ's this is part of the section on ARPs (Absolute Reward Points)
"Dear Valued Player,
Welcome to the Absolute Rewards Loyalty Program! Team Absolute recognizes our players' continued patronage through Absolute Rewards Points (AR Points). AR Points are easy and quick to earn and are awarded 2 different ways.
1. For hands played at real money ring games
2. Tournament buy-in fees."
So nope. Absolute does not offer point for playing free money games.

Still looking for more poker sites that let you earn Poker Points for playing at play money tables.
You can drop Bikini poker from the list. No one has been able to log into the site in almost a month. Maybe more. And support does not respond to E-mails sent to them or message left on their forum.
Looks like I can kiss goodbye to the $3 I won at their site. Any all those Points I collected there were suppose to be worth more than party poker points.
Sorry I didn't get around to explaining Ultimatebet's point system until now. But, it is pretty simple.
For every hour you play you get 1 point.
You can use the points you earn in several ways. Keep in mind I am talking about points earned playing at the freetables or where no rake is taken.
You can play for 2400 hours on one table or 600 hours playing 4 tables at once. This would net you 2400 points. You could use those points to buy yourself a niffty Ultimatebet baseball cap. Woohooo. 2400 o... | | Read Entire Entry |

I know of one that allows you to win $10 if you play the most play money hands for the week. You need to be in the top 25 to collect the $10. It might take 1-2 hours to win it. Last week all you needed was 50 hands at the play money tables to collect!
Hey I bet you want to know the site. Sorry! It is PokeRound. I could post a link but I am not sure of the site's address. I just used a banner at another forum and lost my $10. The site has ery little traffic, almost desolate!
Its not my link, but here it is: http://pokeround.richwebmaster.com?p...pr_hor_1.g if
If it isn't ok to post the link then delete whatever isn't needed. I am not even sure if that link is a picture (.gif) or what, maybe I copied the wrong part.
Good Luck on the $10 though!

Yup Max,
You Ultimatebet points are updated at the beginning of each month.
Well I refound the other site that pays players points for play play money games.
World Poker Exchange.
This has to be not the best way to earn points. You have to play 300 hands to get 1 FPP. Only buy in I see for FPP is a 1000 FPP tourney. Let's see. 300,000 hands and you can enter that one. LOL
Oh and there are even stipulations for a hand to qualify for the 1/300 of a point.
I think I will stick with just playing the freerolls and not even worry about the points.
Keep out on the look out for other Poker sites that offer Players Points for Play Money tables.
I know there must be more out there.

Chips,
Only way to free up bonus money is to play real money tables there. Although it is nice to be about to win bonus dollars. I am only looking for sites that let Play Money games the let Play Money Players earn points like Real Money Players.
These in tourney can be used for Buy ins to get real money. Not bonus dollars or used at there webstores to buy stuff.

Ultimatebet is really the only one that the point system is worth it. There system allows you to free up bonus money won in their bonus money freerolls. I forget at what rate you earn the money, perhaps 100 points gets you $1. But lets face it that is pathetic. Go play the freerolls and win the money. There are thousands of dollars a day given out, just find them.
I use a list at a site that has easily 100+ freerolls per day and can honestly say I make a few hundred a month on freerolls alone. Usually I have one ery nice finish per month that helps me out, along with many decent prizes.

One more update. I will get to ultimate bets points system at another time. Hopefully this week.
Bikini as was stated is still any beta. The points you earn are not good for anything. They don't have any tournies set up as of yet. Maybe they will be worth isiting and signing in a few weeks. I will keep you all posted.

Paradise does not offer Player points for Playing at Play Money tables. And neither does Empire.
What I am looking to find are websites that offer Play Money players a way to earn player points like real money players do. THen use these to be able to enter Tournaments for real money, Buy stuff at thier stores or, even earn more points be playing in point prize tournies or even against each other (ultimate bet does the last thing). I made it from like 100 to 780 points playing 100 points sits and goes. BUt, then lost it all in a bad streak of SNGS. Oh well. Such is life.

Empire Poker have a VIP points set-up in which the longer you play the more points you collect - which then enables you to purchase things and become a ip member (whoo ) but having played there a fair bit and still no-where near the target - 5000 points i think it is -
i admit i havent looked too deeply into it - but will keep an eye out for more

Ok,
I suppose I need to give a more detail explanation. I will use Jetset as an example. Remebmer we are talking about earning free points for playing PLAY MONEY games. Not earning points for playing REAL MONEY hands. There is a lot of the later at many poker sites. But, most of them require you play in either NL games or at the minimum 25/50 cent fixed tables. And for most novices and people on tight budgets that is a lot of money.
Any one to the topic.
As easily as I can explain things there are poker sites that will let you sit down at a play money table and earn PLAYER POINTS just like your were playing at a real money table.
Aren't many that I know of at the moment. Jetset, Ultimate Bet, and Bikini Poker (Bikini Poker is in beta at the moment so the point thing may not be permanent).
Once again. If you know of any other sites of this type. Please, leave a message here.
Ok. On to explaining how Jetsets point system works. Keep in mind... | | Read Entire Entry |

The points are used to register into free tournaments...basically you play 100 hands you get 1 point, the points can be used to enter into free tournaments as the "buy in". This rewards players who play a lot at the site and encourages players to play more. In arious occasions you get bonus points for depositing real money. Using points to register for tournaments also discourages bad play (for the most part) in freeroll tournaments because it takes a while to build up your points and you don't get people going all in with nothing and catching cards.
Paradise poker doesn't offer points you can just register in the tournament for free.

Hi - I'm confused about most poker points myself. I play alot of "play money" on Poker Stars and you just get play chips. I don't think you get anything else. I use them for practice and sit and goes. If you hear about points there, please post. Poker Stars has frequent player points for real money raked hands that you can use towards tournments.
I know on Jet Set I have .98 points - not even one! So I guess I should play more.
P.S. Nick! Do you have a Bonus for Poker Stars!! for Cardschat!! ? I think I will add some money to Paradise - thanks for the code.

This poker points I keep hearing about is cconfusing when you try to figure out how to earn them. I know pokerroom.com gives you points when you play any real money games so don't put pokerroom on the list. I would like to know which sites gives poker points to players of play money tables. Can't wait for the final list! Good Luck!

That is the plan. I might even set up a page for it and make it look nice.
But, with only 3 on the list so far it's kinda small. LOL.
It'd help if you could make this a sticky so people who know of other will see it and post. That of course is up to you. I will bump it up once in a while to keep it fresh.
And maybe do a brief posting of information of each site as well.
I think you are doing a great job with the site. Hopefully this will help bring more traffic.

And, I need some help.
I just started the list.
So far I have Ultimatebet which is 1 point per hour. I think it is a 4 table maximum. So, 4 points per hour. Not sure if it is just 4. But, 4 tables even at play money is a lot to take in.
Jetset which is 1 point per 50 hands played. Up to 4 tables which would be 1 point per 12.5 hands if you play tables.
I saw another one but forget the site. 1 point per 300 hands which is terrible considering the lowest tourney buy in I think was 1000 points. Meaning you would have to play 300,000 hands to get enough point to play in a tourney that was a small prose pool in comparison to the effort and time it would take.
So the list stands as this so far
Ultimatebet: 1 point per hour per table played. Up to 4 tables I think
Jetset: 1 point per 50 hands. Up to 4 tables at one time.
?????: 1 point per 300 hands played. Tables unknown.
