Poker Points

Poker Points are earned at ring games based on the "rake taken" during each hand .

For example, if $0.50 in rake is taken at a hand, all participating players, whether they contributed to the pot by placing a blind or a bet, or whether they folded, will receive 1 Point. If $2, the maximum rake, is taken at a hand, all participating players will receive 10 Points. Clarification: “rake taken” refers to the entire amount of rake taken from all players during the hand, and not from any individual player.

Poker Points are also awarded at tournament play.

For every $1 in fee each player generates, he will receive 20 Points.

Bonuses are released automatically at the rate of 800 Points = $5.

Bonuses are issued automatically - For every 800 Points you earn, $5 will be redeemed from your Pending Bonus Dollars account and converted into real money.

Deposits are added automatically

When you make your First Deposit, entitling you to a Signup Bonus, the amount of your bonus is added to your Pending Bonus Dollars automatically. This bonus will be redeemed as you earn Points.

At ring games, Points are awarded to players for each hand in which they participate, as long as the hand is raked, no matter whether the player contributed to the pot by placing a blind or a bet, or whether the player folded. Points are also awarded based on the fees paid by the player when buying-in to a tournament.

Points are awarded according to the rake taken at ring games as listed in the following table:
