Bonus Dollar Release Requirements

To turn your BONUS DOLLARS into cash, you need to earn STATUS POINTS playing real money games.

The higher your FAME status, the faster you can cash in those BONUS DOLLARS.

The table below represents the amount of STATUS POINTS a player will have to earn to release ONE DOLLAR of BONUS DOLLARS.

LEVEL STATUS Points
BRONZE 20 STATUS Points
SILVER 20 STATUS Points
GOLD 20 STATUS Points
PLATINUM VIP 18 STATUS Points
DIAMOND ELITE 17 STATUS Points

 

  • BONUS DOLLARS are released in five-dollar increments.
  • All pending BONUS DOLLARS will expire 60 days from the date of issue and will be forfeited if not released within this period.
  • Players who receive a subsequent bonus before releasing an earlier bonus will need to completely release their original bonus before being able to release the second bonus. The original 60-day expiry dates will remain intact.
  • Expiration dates only apply to BONUS DOLLARS that haven't yet been cleared by the player. BONUS DOLLARS that have already cleared are credited to the player's account and do not expire.
  • STATUS Points earned playing Blackjack do not count towards the release of BONUS DOLLARS.
  • STATUS Points earned playing Tournament Blackjack count towards the release of BONUS DOLLARS.

*What is a 'Raked Hand'?

A 'Raked Hand' is any hand where rake is collected and the player contributes to the pot. There is no need to see a flop and any points earned are credited to your FAME account as soon as the game ends. In ante games, antes will not count as contribution towards generating Status points.

Tournaments and Sit&Gos

Every time you play a Tournament game or a Sit & Go, you earn more Fame.

Earn one status Point for every 30 Cents of entry fee.

Fractions will not be displayed but any balance will be retained and added to your next buy-in.

For Example :

  • A $30+$3 Tournament earns you 10 Status Points
  • A $5+ $0.50 tournament earns you ONE Status Point. The $0.20 difference is carried over to the next session.
