RedKings Player Points and VIP Crowns FAQ

What are player points?

Player Points are the RedKings customer loyalty points.

What can I do with my Player Points?

Player points are used to determine your level within the RedKings VIP Club. Only new points earned from the date of introduction of the VIP scheme (09/02/2009) will be converted to RedKings Crowns for use within the RedKings VIP Club.

What can I do with my RedKings Crowns?

You can use your Crowns to purchase Tournament Tickets, Gift Vouchers/Cash Back, Electronic Items and Branded Merchandise within the RedKings VIP Club. Players get 0.72 Redkings Crowns for each Player Point they earn.

How do I earn player points?

You earn player points through playing games for real money at RedKings. These points accumulate by being active in raked hands.
Please Note: in Holdem and Omaha RedKings operates a 'no flop no drop' policy and a player needs to contribute to the pot in order to earn player points. In 7-Card Stud all players that are dealt cards will earn player points.

How are player points collected and how many points can I collect?

In tournaments you collect 3.6 points for each dollar you pay in fee. So if you play a $10+$2 Sit and Go you will collect 7.2 points.
In cash games the number of poker points you collect per hand depends on a number of factors such as stake level, pot size and the individual relationship between players.
Note: It is possible to collect partial points.
1. Incremental Poker Points are awarded for each 20 cent, 1 dollar or 5 dollar added to a pot (depends on stake, see table below). For each $6.15 in the pot, one full Poker Point is awarded.
2. The maximum amount of Poker Points awarded per hand depends on the stake and game being played and number of players at the table (see table below).

Point Table:

Fixed Limit
Stakes	Points awarded for each	Max Points
Lower than $0.50-$1.00	20 cents in the pot	2+ players: 1,8
$0.50-$1.00 to $2.00-$4.00	$1 in the pot	2 players: 3,6 3-4 players: 7,2 5+ players: 10,8
Higher than $2.00-$4.00	$5 in the pot	2 players: 3,6 3-4 players: 7,2 5+ players: 10,8
Pot/No Limit
Stakes	Points awarded for each	Max Points
$0.25/$0.50 or lower	20 cents in the pot	2 players: 3,6 3+ players: 5,4
Higher than $0.25/$0.50	$1 in the pot	2 players: 3,6 3-4 players: 7,2 5+ players: 10,8

3. Your share of the total amount of points is equal to your share of the pot. So if the total pot size is $30 and you invested $15 of those, your share of the awarded Poker Points is 50%.
4. Your share of the awarded points will be adjusted based on the internal strength relationship between players in that hand. If you take on less experienced opposition you can expect to collect (slightly) less points, if you go up against more experienced players, you will collect (slightly) more points.

How long are my Player Points and RedKings VIP Crowns valid for?

Player Points and Crowns are valid from the day they were collected including that month plus the following six full calendar months. Example: if you earn 10 PP the 15th of June they will expire 31st of December. You can view you Player Points and Crowns balance under My Account . We recommend you use your VIP Crowns by the end of each month or keep a check on when they will expire.

How do I use my player points to claim bonuses?
