Yea you can get tournament tickets with them. In the upper left of the main screen, there's a place to check your account out. Click that, and a window with pop up with some tabs. One of the tabs is titles 'Poker Points' or something along those lines. Check it out and see what they have to offer.

7500 freeroll sat is several times a day with points used as a buy-in. You need to finish in top sixteen to get an entry if you play the 25 point entry. I have finished in the money only once for about 25 dollars. But it is free, no?

the 7500 for 25 points is pointless soooo many donks if your game is even decent its not worth the time i wouldn't trade in less than 150 for that MTT

You can trade the points for tournament tickets. If you go to account then in the my account tab you can go to points to tickets and it gives you a whole bunch of options.

I use em in 550 increments for $5 + $0.50 tickets. That's the quickest one with max value for all the selection offered in that range.

Max value was 1.4% when converted to a 500 MTT ticket last I did the numbers. Not worthless, but meh, not super valuable either.

I don't think you can trade it or turn it into cash directly. You can use PTS to TT converter to get some tourney tickets from your points though.

Like needaGF said you cant trade it into cash directly, they offer several tournaments that you can enter with your points though. You definitely get the most value out of the $7500 turbo qualifiers for 25 pts. It's true there's a lot of donks but if your game is good it's not too hard to finish top 15 and then you get a ticket to the $7500 freeroll which usually costs 1000 points to buy into. You're basically multiplying your points by 40 and thus as long as you're winning more than one tournament for every 40 entries it's worth it, and those are pretty good odds. Also, once you get into the $7500 free roll there aren't many donks so if you're not a bad player more than likely you're going to cash. Of course, if you want to get quick cash back, exchanging 550 points for the $5+.50 tickets is the max value you're going to get as kahntrutahn said. Hope this helps.

Actually I think best value is a $535 ticket. IIRC it takes 40k in rake to buy it. so the return is 1.33% at maximum :)

You can trade your Bovada points for entries in tourneys that they offer, or, trade them in for $, too.

the 25 point tournament is once a day. at 10.10pm. I live in minnesota. may be different for you. i play those and while people play very loose i use it to my advantage and make loose calls. ive played in 5 of the last 6 7500 freerolls because of the 25 point tournament. never took me over 3 or 4 times before i have made it.
