Bonuses/Promotions
Aztec Riches has a wide range of promotions and bonuses. These include a sign up deposit bonus of 50% up $200, which has to be earned through play. Aztec Riches also rewards loyalty with their point scheme, which can be earned through raked hands. There are five categories which determine how many points you earn, and categorisation is based on your average rake value. This is calculated by the total games you have played that day divided by your total amount of generated rakes that day. The five categories are Bronze (25 points per 100 raked hands), Copper (75 points), Silver (150 points), Silver (300 points), and Platinum (dependent on the manager). A full table of the calculations can be viewed in full on the website but it works out that approximately 10% of your rake is paid back to you. 10 points can also be earned for every $1 spent in tournament fees. Every 1000 points equals $10, so the more you play, the sooner you receive your rake back.
Aztec Riches also has a Bad Beat Jackpot, a Refer-a-Friend bonus of $25 per friend, and a magic hand prize. This is when a random hand number is picked in advance and the winner of that hand receives a prize, with the other players receiving bonuses.
