Points System – How Do You Earn Points?

Points are earned based on various in-game actions, with special hands rewarding bonus points. Here’s how you can earn points:

• Win with 7-2 Hole Cards (NLHE Only): 200 points
• Win with Trips Hole Cards (Omaha Only): 200 points
• KO Player (Player Stacked): 50 points
• Raise: 3 points
• Bet: 3 points
• Call: 2 points

Note that Raise, Bet, and Call actions apply to all stages of the hand (Pre-Flop, Flop, Turn, and River).

Additionally, no points are awarded for hands that end before the flop, and you must end the hand with more chips than you started with to be considered a win. In case of a split pot, the player with more chips than they started with wins the points.
