-
If I earn enough points, will I automatically go up to the next tier?
-
Yes, we automatically track the VIP Points you earn in real money ring games, MTTs and SnG's. Based on the points you earn, your VIP Tier will be adjusted daily at 4am ET. This is a fluid system. Based on your gameplay, you decide which tier you will be in at any given time. Once you are set to a tier, you then earn the benefits associated to that tier for the remainder of the current month, plus the month after. If you fail to maintain the point requirements for that tier, in that full month, your status will be set to the appropriate tier based on the points earned for that month.
-
Do my points decay?
-
Yes. They decay at a specific rate dependant on your VIP Tier, however, they will only decay if you remain inactive for 30 days and do not earn any VIP points in that time. For more information please visit the VIP Tiers page.

-
How do my Rebates work & when do I get paid them?
-
Your rebates will get paid out daily, and are calculated off the number of base VIP points you earned over the previous 24hrs. You earn a differing rebate percentage, dependant upon your tier level. The rebate will be paid once daily one hour after midnight server time. To find a list of your rebates see VIP Tiers.
-
How can I exchange points for cash?
-
Visit the cashier, and click the ÒPointsÓ tab. There is a section where you will be able to exchange your points. Please check your VIP tier to ensure you meet the criteria and limits needed to exchange points for cash.
-
I am a rakeback player. Can I switch from rakeback to the VIP program?
-
As a rakeback player you can still move up in tiers and enter the monthly VIP freeroll, however you CANNOT exchange points for cash, nor can you earn above and beyond the 35% of rebates set by your rakeback deal. If you want to remove rakeback from your account so you can exchange points for cash and earn a higher rate of rebates, we will first zero out your existing VIP point balance so that previously earned points cannot be exchanged for cash. Note that your VIP level will not change when your points are removed.
