As with many online poker sites, 888 (a.k.a. 888 Poker) offers a VIP rewards program. Within 888 Rewards you'll find the 888 Online Store, where you can use your Reward Points to purchase merchandise, purchase tournament buy-ins and convert your Reward Points directly into cash. The 888 Online Store is coming soon, and a slew of great merchandise is slated to be included. However, you can already convert your points to cash, so it's advisable to start saving up your Reward Points now.

888 Online Store Merchandise

Plenty of great merchandise is included in the 888 Online Store. Generally, more expensive items will cost larger amounts of Reward Points. The Reward Points you accumulate naturally by playing real money cash games and tournaments at 888 Poker can be spent directly at the store. The list below is just a small preview of the merchandise you'll be able to purchase.

• Clothing (such as football jerseys, hats, and 888 shirts)
• Electronics and gadgets (such as Apple iPods)
• Poker merchandise (such a high quality chip sets)
• Tournament buy-ins (to major land-based events and online tournaments)
• Cash that can be used for real money play at 888

The 888 Online Store is still in its early stages, and there's no doubt that more merchandise will be added to the store in the future.

Reward Points and Status Points at the 888 Online Store

In order to purchase merchandise at the 888 Online Store or convert your points into cash, you'll need to earn Status Points and Reward Points by playing real money tournaments and cash games. These points will be accumulated automatically as you play, and there's no need to enroll in an additional program or sign up for an extra service. If you're an 888 Poker veteran, you may be familiar with the Frequent Player Points program. Although this program has been discontinued, you can convert all of your existing Frequent Player Points to Reward Points.

Status Points are used to determine your Status Level. When you first start at 888, you'll be at the Bronze Status and earn one Reward Point for each Status Point you gain. By earning more and more Status Points, you'll move up in level. As you move up, 888 Poker will place a multiplier on the Reward Points you earn. For example, at the Gold level, you'll earn 4.5 Reward Points for each Status Point you receive. At the highest level, VIP Diamond, you'll earn 18 Reward Points for each Status Point that you earn.

Status Points reset at the beginning of each month, while Reward Points accumulate indefinitely. In fact, the only way for your Reward Points to expire is if your account is inactive for three months. In this way, you can save up your Reward Points to buy something you really want at the 888 Online Store.

Converting Reward Points into Cash

If you'd rather spend your Reward Points on cash instead of redeeming them for merchandise at the 888 Online Store, you may do so. The minimum cash redemption is $10, and you'll need 1000 Reward Points for $10. Follow these steps to complete the process:

• Enter the 888 Poker lobby
• Click on Cashier
• Click My Rewards
• Click on Convert Reward Points to Cash
• 888 Poker will automatically add the cash to your poker bankroll

The 888 Online Store is 888's way of giving back to their loyal online poker community. The ability to choose whether you'd like to spend your Reward Points on cash or valuable merchandise gives poker players an interesting option. If you have any questions about the 888 Online Store, be sure to check the 888 Poker website or get in touch with their customer support team.
