What are Player Points?

The concept of Player Points is that the more you play in real money poker games, the more Player Points you will earn. They’re automatically tracked and your official Player Points tally can be viewed anytime on the My Account Page.

How do I earn Player Points?

You earn Player Points through playing Real Money games. Only players that have invested money into a pot will be awarded an equal amount of Player Points and only when the pot is raked. For more information about Rake, please visit our Rake Help Section.

How Many Player Points do I earn?

For cash games, Player Points are awarded based on the rake that you contribute to each pot. 3.25 Player Points are awarded for every dollar you contribute in rake. Points are awarded in 0.01 steps, for example if you contribute 0.4 dollar in rake you will receive 1.3 Player Points.

*The above cash game is an example of how many points can be earned per $1, points are distributed based on play and opponents at the table according to the Ongame Essence model.

For tournaments, 5 Player Points will be awarded for every dollar in fee, for example by participating in a $5+0.50 tournament you will receive 2.5 Player Points.

Quick Tips for Acquiring Player Points

1. If you are a low stakes player, acquiring points is still possible. Before selecting a table to play, first check the average pot size and flop percentage at your desired stake level. Table that have a high flop percentage or higher average pot are more likely to provide you with more player points.
2. It is typically easier to acquire player points in no limit games – even at the .25/.50 stakes level. If you are a tight and disciplined player, low stakes no limit can be very good for accumulating points while not risking a large portion of your bank roll.
3. Tournaments are a guaranteed way to acquire player points and enjoy the thrill of no limit or limit poker. Single table tournament entries start as low as $5+.50, take about an hour to play and you earn 5 player points for every dollar paid in fee.
4. Perhaps the best tip for acquiring player points is to be observant and patient. It is a good idea to watch the table you want to play before leaping in. Determine if the type of play at that table is best suited to your game.

How do I go from one Player's Club Level to another?

Tower Gaming has developed a unique way to grant access into our Player's Club levels: Leveling up is achieved by clearing specific First Deposit bonuses or by hitting Points totals each month. For all new players, completing certain offers from the Tower of Bonuses will propel you into any one of our Player's Club Levels depending on your choice.

Example: You make a first time deposit and choose the "Getting Ahead Bonus". Immediately you are entered into Level 1. Access to Level 2 is only granted once this bonus has been cleared. Don't worry if you don't manage to clear the bonus, if you earn 800 player points within a calendar month you will also move up to level 2.

For our existing players all you have to do is earn and maintain a certain points total each month to move up and keep your player level.

Level 1: 1 point per calendar month
Level 2: 800 points per calendar month
Level 3: 8000 points per calendar month
