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.

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.

My Player Points are not Updating!

Unfortunately, sometimes point gains don’t update as quickly as other point gains. Of course, we are always looking to improve this, but we ask for your patience and understanding in this matter. We assure you that you will always receive all the Player Points you earn.

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 Player's Club bonuses for each level or by hitting Points totals each month. (For information about Bonuses, please review the Bonuses & Reloads Help Section.) 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 Level 2 bonus, we will offer you many more opportunities to try a bonus for the next level, such as reload bonuses.

For our existing players the reload bonuses are your opportunity to level up and will be sent to you in a reload email format. Be sure you do not miss out and verify that your account is setup to receive "Bonus Offers", under "User Profile" in "My Account." When you receive your reload we will be very specific about what level you will qualify for when you clear it. We know that this takes some getting used to, but it will be worth it!

Keep in mind that our players are rewarded for their proven potential play on Tower Gaming! We know that our players sometimes have to take a break from playing therefore we never penalize our players by downgrading their play or taking away their current status. Once you have attained membership in any of our 'Club Levels' the only way to go is UP!

The rewards currently available are just the beginning. Watch out for more promotions to be added to every level of the program in the coming weeks and months. Please see our Rewards Program section for more information.
