Types of points
As a Playground Rewards member, you can earn two types of points, in some cases simultaneously, and at the same rate. Those are Rewards Points, which are redeemable, and Status Points, which determine your Status Level.
Status Points and Levels
Status Points determine your Status Level and are earned while playing EGDs and poker cash games. At the beginning of every calendar year, status point balances are reset to zero, and the achieved Status Level is secured for a minimum of one year. You then have one full year to accumulate enough points to maintain, or upgrade, your current Status Level. Players who reach a higher Status Level prior to the end of the new calendar year may enjoy the associated benefits immediately and maintain the status until the end of the following calendar year.
Example: If you have earned 30,000 points by October 1, you are immediately upgraded to Red status, and this new status is secured for the following calendar year. However, as of January 1, your status point balance is reset to 0 and you start the earning cycle all over again for the following calendar year.
The first level - Silver - is achieved by default. It allows members to earn Rewards Points and redeem them for food, promotions, merchandise, and special offers. Reaching higher levels - Gold, Red and Black - will give you more flexibility on your purchasing power, and in the case of Red and Black statuses, allow you to earn Rewards Points at an increased rate. Check the benefits table for all the details.
Rewards Points
Rewards Points are earned while playing EGDs at a rate of one (1) point for every dollar wagered, and redeemable for various Playground benefits. You can spend them on food, redeem them for cash, or hoard them for increased purchasing power on future promotions. Treat the currency as you like, you earned it!
Earning Rates
| EGD earning rate | One (1) point for every $1 wagered | |
| Poker earning rate *Only Status Points are earned while playing poker at our cash tables. |
Stakes from $1/$1 to $1/$3 earn 300 points/hour | |
| Stakes from $2/$2 to $5/$5, and $5/$10 NLH earn 500 points/hour | ||
| Stakes from $10/$20, and $5/$10 PLO earn 700 points/hour | ||
