Earning XP
Players earn XP (experience points) periodically during the game to track player rank and unlock game privileges.
The following table shows the base XP earning rate.
| Players Dealt | Type A (Activity) | Type P (Performance) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inside Blinds | Outside Blinds | Showdown | No Showdown | |
| < 4 players | 9 XP | 9 XP | 3 XP | 3 XP |
| 4 players | 18 XP | 18 XP | 6 XP | 9 XP |
| 5 players | 27 XP | 36 XP | 9 XP | 15 XP |
| > 5 players | 36 XP | 72 XP | 12 XP | 24 XP |
The following conditions earn at the indicated fraction of the base XP. If more than one condition is met the top-most condition applies, except for plus or minus bonuses which are unlimited.
| Condition | Type | Fixed Limit | Pot/No Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active on 2nd Round | A | 2/3 | 1 |
| Win on 1st Round | P | 0 | 0 |
| Win High Split | P | 1/3 | 2/3 |
| Win Low Split | P | 1/3 | 1/3 |
| Win High & No Low | P | 2/3 | 1 |
| Win After 1st Round | P | 2/3 | 1 |
| Win Side Pot (Each) | P | +1/3 | +1/3 |
| Win Reraised Main Pot | P | +0 | +2/3 |
| Lose Showdown | P | −0 | −1/3 |
All showdown hands are considered to have ended on the showdown round (e.g. the river) even if betting ended before then. A reraised pot is one with a reraise in the first round.
The final XP earned at the end of a hand diminishes after a player's bankroll (cashier total) exceeds 3,000 big bets for the hand's stake level.
The following games do not earn XP:
- Games on tables with stakes lower than 0.25/0.50 G.
- Games on private tables.
Daily Login XP Bonus
