Online poker site cuts ribbon on US-based online poker rewards store.

San Jose, Costa Rica – March 21, 2012 - The new iPad isn't the only big announcement in major retail news this month. TruePoker has just launched its US-based online store, featuring a 2012 Vegas Jackpot custom cruiser motorcycle with a Freedom 106 V-Twin engine, high-end electronics, poker gear, tournament seats, poker vacations, and more. The Elite Benefits Store is part of the US-friendly online poker site's new loyalty program, Elite Benefits.

"Today, we're launching the store with the kind of items that poker players crave," stated TruePoker spokesman Michael Harris. "We're talking about LED TVs, iPads, high-end laptops, poker vacations, and everything else you can imagine. And it's all available for purchase using Player Points, the official currency of Elite Benefits."

The Elite Benefits Store is centrally located in the United States. That means poker players who purchase items from the store will receive their shipment extremely quickly. Orders are shipped within one to five business days.

The number of Player Points a player can earn depends on their level in the program. There are five tiers to the program—Player, Rounder, Grinder, Veteran and Legend. Players move up in the program by earning Benefit Points, which are collected as they play real money poker. While Benefit Points determine a player's status, Player Points are spendable at the Elite Benefits Store.

TruePoker uses the Dealt Rake methodology to calculate Benefit Points. That means that every player is rewarded Benefit Points at the same rate—regardless of whether they contributed $10 or $0.50 in rake to a pot.

Players can see how many Benefit Points they've earned through the Rewards tab of the online poker software. The Elite Benefits Store is also accessible through the Rewards tab.

TruePoker also announced earlier this month that April 15th will feature their Liberty Quarter Million, a No-Limit Hold'em online poker tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $250,000. The Liberty Quarter Million tournament is part of Liberty Weekends, where $500,000 will be spread out over two big online poker tournaments every weekend between March 31st and April 29th.

For those players looking to satellite their way in, on April 13th at 8:00pm ET the US-friendly online poker site will be hosting a 250 Seat Super Satellite with 250 seats guaranteed for the April 15th Quarter Million Tournament. The 250 Seat Super Satellite will cost only $36+3 to get into.
