Benefits
At the heart of the Everest Poker VIP Program are Bonus Summit Points and the ability to convert Summit Points into Cash. As you move up in tiers, you gain more Bonus Summit Points, as well as the ability to convert more of them directly into cash.
See below for the benefits and maximums per tier*:
| VIP Tier | SP Bonus Rate | Monthly SPs-to-Cash Limits | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base Camp | 200% | 12,500 SP | $50 |
| Camp I | 300% | 25,000 SP | $100 |
| Camp II | 400% | 62,500 SP | $250 |
| Camp III | 500% | 125,000 SP | $500 |
| Camp IV |
650% |
375,000 SP |
$1,500 |
| The Death Zone | 750% | 500,000 SP | $2,000 |
| The Summit | 900% | 1,250,000 SP | $5,000 |
For instance, say you are a Base Camp member who earns 50 Summit Points playing in a ring game one day. You will receive 100 Bonus Summit Points (200%) as soon as you get up from your table, giving you a total of 150 SPs for your activity on that table. You are credited with the Bonus Summit Points as soon as you stand up from the ring game table. If you earn SPs from tournament play, you are credited the Bonus Summit Points when you are finished playing in the tournament.
Note that Bonus Summit Points do not count towards determining your VIP tier for the next month, nor do they apply to earning or converting bonuses. However, all Summit Points have the same cash conversion, tournament buy-in, and store purchase value.
Converting Summit Points to cash is very easy. Go to the Convert SP to Cash screen from your Bonus page or your VIP status page. Simply enter in the amount of SPs you want to convert to cash (they will convert at the rate of 1 SP = $.004), enter your password, and click Convert. The cash converted will be added right into your account balance.
Converting Summit Points to Cash isn't the only benefit players can receive from being in the VIP Summit Club. As you move up levels, you receive Live Chat access, priority email Customer Service, access to freerolls, higher Refer-A-Friend bonuses, and more! See below for the full chart of benefits by tier*.
