Stars are given to players contributing to the house rake in tournaments and cash games. These stars are easily accumulated no matter what your level of play however their value as of yet is rather low. With only a few small money tournaments available to redeem these stars, this reward system needs some serious improvement before it can compare to that of the online poker sites. Luckily random cash bonuses do seem to be offered to players who haven't competed in a while.

The multi-table backgammon tournaments remain small with usually under a hundred players and sit and go's usually host 4 or 8 players.

A monthly main event is held with a prize pool boasting $100,000 , the biggest ever online.
