Absolute Reward Points (ARP) are used to reward both tournament and cash ring game players at Absolute Poker. 1 Point for every hand played in a REAL money ring game that has collected at least the minimum rake ($0.50), and 4 Points for every dollar in tournament buy-in Fee. A nice element to the ARP system is that players can fold their hand (but can not be sitting out) so a tight strategy can still be rewarding in terms of points. Another great thing about the ARP's is that you can actually use them in a variety of ways, including a full Absolute Rewards Store of merchandise available. Re-deposit bonuses are another often used promotion aimed to reward already existing players.

Multiple daily freerolls have helped make Absolute famous. New players to the game can win real money cash bankrolls with generous $50 Prize pool free-entry tournaments. The shear number of freerolls held by Absolute in the past remains one of the reasons for it's continued growth and success despite worse than average software. A new feature includes the ability to create a custom tournament allowing players to play in an environment they can control to some degree. A variety of other tournaments are of course also offered including WSOP and WPT qualifiers, but it is mainly the easy money freerolls that stands out as the best defining feature of the tournament schedule.

With just over a thousand ring game players competing during busy times, Absolute Poker remains an average sized card room with lots of room for growth yet already big enough to sustain Holdem games at a variety of limits. There are far more tournament players at Absolute, mostly brought in from it's freeroll promotions. These tournaments are far bigger than they used to be as about 5,000 tournament players battle it out durink their peak hours.

Absolute has been endorsed by poker pro Mark Seif and continues to have one of the friendlies support teams on the net. They have been offering huge first time deposit bonuses for new players and are recommended for new players looking for chances to grow a small or non-existant bank roll at little risk.
