All the pertinant information is right on their site including how to accumulate points. I have around 1000 and didn't even know it till last night! The store will be opening soon.

Thanks for the post. I have 15,000 + points and didn't know it. Hopefully they will get some freerolls going. Interesting that they have been counting points for 6 weeks and they haven't gotten the "store" open yet.

huh? points? what points?

Hah! Wow, I had no clue they offered points now. Should be interesting to see what happens with all of this.

[Benal]

Yeah, this is news to me.

That is interesting. Quite the IRS like system they have set up to calculate points.

They're way ahead of empire in terms of how points are accumulated. Empire's crap VIP system rewards tournament play way more than ring games.

I think its also strange how many points you get for each deposit. Depositing $500 gets you as many points as playing 1000 raked 15/30 games.

Naturally, we won't be able to assess the quality of this program until we see what the points can be redeemed for. Looks good so far though.

Wonder if you could abuse that deposit bonus...heh. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I actualy think the way they have the system set up is pretty inspired. It encourages people not to jump around from site to site pretty well. I suspect when we see the actual rewards we'll see how useless it actualy is, but until then I'll keep my fingers crossed.
