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 points according to their VIP level. The higher your VIP level, the more points you will receive for the same contribution.
Poker Points are also awarded at tournament play.
As with cash games, players receive points on their tournaments according to the VIP level they are on. The higher the VIP level, the more points you will earn for the same tournament fee.
Bonuses are released on demand at a rate of 5000 Points = $5.
Bonuses must be claimed through the cashier. You must have a minimum of 5000 Poker Points in your account before you are allowed to claim your bonus.
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 Poker 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.
