*Text		<p>Hey Pokerspacers!</p><p>Continuing on this theme of highlighting aspects of Pokerspace that may need some clarifying for members, I will be talking about tournament passwords. Feel free to link any player who is having trouble locating/using the password on Pokerspace to this article.</p><p>Firstly, the key to getting into Pokerspace events is to "<strong>join</strong>" the event.</p><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;">1</span></strong>. Locate event under <a href="/promotions/tournaments/">Tournaments</a>.</p><p><img alt="" src="/uploaded-images-2/1234989216-01649-470.jpg" /></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;">2</span></strong>. Click on event title in read (will take you to the event page).</p><p><img alt="" src="/uploaded-images-2/1234989258-71270-470.jpg" /></p><p><br /><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;">3</span></strong>. Click on the "join" button located under event title.</p><p><img alt="" src="/uploaded-images-1/1234989288-81740-470.jpg" /></p><p>After you have successfully joined the event, you have have access to the event's news, forum, comments, and... <strong>password</strong>.</p><p><strong>PLEASE NOTE</strong>:</p><ul><li>Buy-In event passwords are displayed from the moment the event is created and posted on Pokerspace.</li> <li>Crew Cup event passwords will only be available to people who are in a crew of 3 or more players.</li> <li><strong>Freeroll event passwords</strong> are released on the event page <strong>one hour</strong> before the event takes place.</li> </ul><p><img src="/uploaded-images-2/1242915984-33586.jpg" alt="" /></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;"><br /> 4</span>.</strong> You can find the passwords for tournaments located directly under the tournament description at the top of the event page.</p><p><strong>The password for the freeroll will not show until one hour before the event takes place.</strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;">5</span></strong>. If you would like to receive Passwords via email, make sure you are opted in to receive event emails. You can find whether you are opted in or not in your <a href="/account/?action=preferences&pref=email">Email Settings</a>. Make sure the event email box is CHECKED, otherwise you will <strong>not </strong>get the password via email.</p><p><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;"><strong>6</strong></span>. The password needs to be taken to the poker room and inputted in order for you to get registered in the tournament. Note that "joining" the event on Pokerspace is <strong>not </strong>"registering" for the event.</p><p>I hope these steps help to get new members acquainted with our system and provide a place for our established members to link them to instructions! If you need any more info, let me know and I will add it or answer you!</p><p>Have a great week!<br /> Michelle</p>

*Text		<p>Hello Everyone!</p><p>I have decided that this article would be about the IQ test and the Walker Sponsorship, because there seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding how to take the <a href="/school/iq-test/">IQ test</a> and receive the Walker Poker sponsorship.</p><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;">1. </span></strong>Pokerspace only has one poker room that offers our members a "no-deposit bonus"/sponsorship, which is Walker Poker. This sponsorship money cannot be transferred to any other poker room for any reason. If you don't download Walker Poker through our links, you are not eligible for this bonus.</p><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;">2. </span></strong>The sponsorship can only be issued once per IP address. This is stated clearly in the <a href="/faq/">FAQ</a>, and we enforce it (as many can attest to). If we see another account on the same IP address we will not issue both accounts sponsorships. If you would like to discuss this, please email support.</p><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;">3.</span></strong> You have two choices. </p><p>1) You can download and register your Walker Poker account first. To do this, <a href="http://www.pokerspace.com/rooms/walker-poker/loyalty-points/">click here </a>to download Walker Poker. Please be sure to follow the download instructions on that page. Once you have downloaded WP and created a first time account, register it with Pokerspace (<em>Edit Profile > Poker Rooms > Walker Poker</em>). </p><p>2) You can take and pass the test first, and then download and create an account on Walker Poker.</p><p>While either way you will get your sponsorship. If you create a Walker Poker account first you may see the following message:</p><p><img src="/uploaded-images-3/1235581766-54648-470.jpg" alt="" /></p><p>In this case, email <a href="/">support@pokerspace.com</a> your Pokerspace alias, <a href="/rooms/walker-poker/">Walker Poker</a> username, and email address and we will manually unblock the test. Please note that you may notice your account changed to "Tracked" at this time. This is a temporary status, and <strong>if you did not create the <a href="/rooms/walker-poker/">Walker Poker</a> account through Pokerspace you will not get the sponsorship</strong>.</p><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;">4. </span></strong>If you submitted your details corrected and claimed your sponsored, <strong>it takes 3-14 days to receive the sponsorship</strong> money if you Walker Poker account, once it have been processed. Please make sure you follow these steps:</p><p><strong>a) STEP 1</strong> <img src="/uploaded-images-3/1235581801-23951-470.jpg" alt="" /></p><p><strong>b) STEP 2</strong><img src="/uploaded-images-1/1235581819-22611-470.jpg" alt="" /></p><p><strong>c) STEP 3</strong><img src="/uploaded-images-1/1235581832-21402-470.jpg" alt="" /></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;">5.</span></strong> Here are the rules and regulations for the IQ test:</p><ul><li>All players must be the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction or at least 18 years of age if no age of majority is specified (whichever is greater).</li> <li>You must be a FIRST TIME REAL MONEY PLAYER.</li> <li>If you have EVER had an active REAL money account on <a href="/rooms/walker-poker/">Walker Poker</a> (or any room on the Merge Gaming Network), you do not qualify.</li> <li>If you have ever downloaded the <a href="/rooms/walker-poker/">Walker Poker</a> software you DO NOT QUALIFY.</li> <li>You cannot use a computer that has or previously had the <a href="/rooms/walker-poker/">Walker Poker</a> software installed.</li> <li>Only one account per person and/or street address.</li> <li>DO NOT sign up for anyone else. Misrepresentation is prohibited.</li> </ul><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;">6.</span></strong> The Payout Structure for the IQ test is $10 + $25 (bonus coupon) for all scores over 7/10.</p><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;">7.</span></strong> Please note that once you start the IQ test you cannot navigate away or close the browser. If you do it will lead to an a<strong>utomatic failure </strong>of the IQ test and you won't be able to retake it for 4 hours.</p><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;">8.</span></strong> Please note that we only give out <strong>7 sponsorships per day</strong>. You may receive a message that says all the sponsorships have been used for that day. Simply come back another time when there are tests available.</p><p>You have unlimited tries to take the IQ test, though you will have to wait the mandatory 4 hours between attempts. The school lessons, forums, blogs, and your buddies have a great wealth of knowledge that may assist you in taking this IQ test. We do not tell you which questions you got right or wrong, but in the future this may change.</p><p>I hope this assists those that are having trouble with the IQ test!</p><p>Michelle</p>

*Text		<p>Hey Pokerspacers!</p><p>Its time to highlight one of Pokerspace's most unique and interesting promotions - the Pokerspace Crew Cup Competition! With all the discussion surrounding it on the forums and in blog posts, I thought I would introduce and explain this exciting competition so everyone can navigate and participate!</p><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;">1</span></strong>. <strong>What is a crew?</strong></p><p>Crews are essentially teams of 3-6 Pokerspace members. You can <a href="/community/crews/1.html?action=createCrew">create a crew</a>, <a href="/community/crews/search/1.html">apply for a spot in a crew</a>, or search for crews looking for new members in our <a href="/community/forums/crew-classifieds/1.html">Crew Classifieds</a> section in the forums.</p><p>Just a small reminder that while you can be a part of an incomplete crew, crews that have 2 or less players will be unable to play in the Pokerspace Crew Cup Competition.</p><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;">2</span></strong>.<strong> What is the Pokerspace Crew Cup Competition?</strong></p><p>The Crew Cup is a series of monthly poker leagues where poker crews compete in 2 weekly tournaments that will earn them Crew Cup Points.</p><p>There are two buy-in leagues - the <a href="/promotions/crew-cup/north-american-league/">North American League</a> and the <a href="/promotions/crew-cup/european-league/">European League</a> - that cost 3000 PS Points per month to join. The crews with the most Crew Cup Points at the end of the month will get entries into the final 2 tournaments, where the lowest combined crew score wins a fabulous trip.</p><p>There is one <a href="/promotions/crew-cup/practice-league/">Practice League</a> with 2 weekly tournaments. This league does not cost anything for a crew to join. The top crews who place in this league each month will be given a free buy-in to the league of their choice.</p><p><strong>Please note</strong>: You <strong>CAN </strong>buy-in to both buy-in leagues if you would like (6000 PS Points per crew per month), and participate in the Practice League as well. Crews that earn an entry into the final 2 tournaments more than once in a month (example: 1st in the NA League, and 3rd in the Euro League) will get 10 000 PS Points to be shared among the crew members.</p><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;">3</span></strong>. <strong>Once you are in a complete crew, this is what you must do to participate in the Crew Cup tournaments:</strong></p><p><strong>a)</strong> You need to speak to your crew about what buy-in league you want to participate in. You should all discuss how many of your personal PS Points you can/want to use towards the buy-in.</p><p><strong>b)</strong> Once you decide, you can contribute by inputting it. See this diagram for examples:</p><p><img alt="" src="/uploaded-images-3/1236278285-16036-470.jpg" /></p><p><strong>c)</strong> Once the events begin, track you stats on the <a href="/promotions/crew-cup/">Crew Cup</a> page. See this example:</p><p><img alt="" src="/uploaded-images-1/1236278348-70189-470.jpg" /></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;">4.</span></strong> <strong>Reviewing the Crew Cup Rules and Regulations</strong>:</p><p><strong>a)</strong> Like any competition there are rules. It is your responsibility to review the Crew Cup rules. If you violate the rules, unfortunately you and your crew will be responsible for this. We have them clearly posted, and you are free to read and reference them <a href="/promotions/crew-cup/how-to-qualify-and-rules/">here</a>.</p><p><strong>b) </strong>One rule to remember is that once you have bought into a league you cannot remove members from your crew until that month is finalized.</p><p><strong>c) </strong>The main rule to remember is that in the buy-in leagues, you can only play if 2 or more of your crew members are playing in the event. It is your responsibility to view the live results (on the event page here at Pokerspace) to see which crew members are participating. If they have a rank (a place) beside their name, they are playing. If there are less than 3 of you in a game, you have to sit out that game.</p><p>Note that this <strong>does not apply</strong> to the Practice League, and those specific rules can be found on the <a href="/promotions/crew-cup/how-to-qualify-and-rules/">Crew Cup Rules page</a>.</p><p>It is the responsibility of those playing in the tournaments to police that the rules are being upheld. Regulations for notifying the Pokerspace admin about violations are posted on the <a href="/promotions/crew-cup/how-to-qualify-and-rules/">Crew Cup Rules page</a>.</p><p><span style="font-size:medium; line-height: 1.2em;"><strong>5</strong></span>. The <strong>prizes for the Pokerspace Crew Cup Competition</strong> are listed on the <a href="/promotions/crew-cup/">Crew Cup</a> page. Here is what they are for the February - June 2009 Crew Cup Compeition:</p><p><img alt="" src="/uploaded-images-1/1236279092-99919-470.jpg" /></p><p>Some tips for earning points quickly so you can contribute to the league buy-in for your crew are:</p><p>- checking out the <a href="/rooms/loyalty-points/">PS Loyalty Points</a> deals for deposit bonuses (Carbon and PlayersOnly are paid out weekly)<br /> - completing the <a href="/school/">school </a>tests<br /> - placing in some of our buy-in <a href="/promotions/tournaments/">tournaments</a><br /> - purchase PS points in the <a href="/points/">Need PS Points?</a> section</p><p>I hope this blog will introduce you to this unique and exciting promotion here at Pokerspace, and get you playing for one of our 5 great prize packs! If you should have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact us at <a href="/contact/support/">support@pokerspace.com.</a></p><p>Michelle</p>

These points are automatically credited to your Pokerspace account. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">Essentially, these PS Points act like money, in that you can use them to purchase items in our </span></span><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><a href="/lounge/points-store/"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255);">PS Store</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">, you can purchase lottery tickets in our</span></span><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><a href="/lounge/"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255);"> PS Lounge</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">, and you can buy-in to exclusive tournaments listed in our </span></span><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><a href="/calendar/"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255);">calendar</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><b>WHERE </b>can I track how many PS Points I have earned and spent?</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">You can view your PS Points bankroll under your Quick Links menu located on the far right of the page as shown in the figure below.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span><img alt="" src="/uploaded-images-1/1242919443-10410.jpg" /></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">If you would like to view a breakdown of your PS Points history, this can be done by following these steps.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">1.

Beneath that is "<b>View History</b>", click on this to view your total earnings and spending.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">After clicking the total points link you can also click the "Transaction History" tab directly below the main menu.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><b>WHY </b>do you want to earn PS Points?</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">There are many activities throughout the Pokerspace community that require you to use your points to engage in them. One such activity is buying into PS Point freerolls and PS Point buy-in tournaments. To be able to join this event, you need to have the points in your account. When you click the "join" button, the points will be automatically taken from your account [these don't get refunded after one hour before the tournament begins].</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">But with PS Points you can also buy into our daily lotto, and/or save up for some awesome poker items and PS gear!</span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><b>HOW </b>can I earn PS Points?</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">There are a plethora of activities within the Pokerspace community that will give you Pokerspace Points.

We have many brands, each offering a different deal to members. Some poker rooms offer unlimited PS Points known as "PS Points for play" deals; while others will give PS Points for depositing and acheiving some FPP or raked hands requirement (note that you must download the software through our links and then create the account to be eligible for our offers). </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><b>WHEN </b>do these points get issued into the PS account?</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">For all community and school point earning activities the PS Points are automatically sent to your account. If you feel it has been a longer-than-normal wait-time for your PS Points injection, just send off a detailed email to </span></span><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><a href="/"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255);">support@pokerspace.com</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">, and someone will be happy to assist you with your missing PS Points. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">For tournaments that have PS Points in the prizepool, the points will usually get into your account within 1-2 business days. However, sometimes there are delays so this wait-time may increase depending on the circumstances. Keep in mind we always try to get the points in your account asap though.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><b>How Can I Earn Even More PS Points?</b></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">Pokerspace runs a monthly promotion called </span></span><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><a href="/promotions/vip-rewards/"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255);">VIP Rewards</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">. By reaching monthly PS Point or Rakeback milestones (visit the VIP Rewards promotion page for details), we will reward your Pokerspace account with a sick PS Points bonus within a week in the new month. Hitting either of the first milestones will also change your 'status' to VIP and grant you access to 2 weekly VIP exclusive tournaments that have loads of money and/or PS Points added to the prizepools!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">I hope this introduction to the PS Points system here at Pokerspace will give you a bit of insight into their dynamic presence in our community! If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at support@pokerspace.com - we would love to hear from you!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small; line-height: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><br /></span></span></p>

How to Properly Download Rooms to get PS Points or Rakeback Deals

*Text		<p>Hello again!</p><p>I have been getting a lot of questions pertaining to why when you download a brand you aren't getting the deal you selected when you registered your name on Pokerspace. Just thought I would take this opportunity to explain it for everyone.</p><p>I would first suggest that you look over all the brands you currently don't have and read what they can give you.</p><p>The first kind of brand offers that we have are the Rakeback deals, which will give a percentage of your rake paid back to you. Each brand page under the <a href="/rooms/rakeback-deals/">Rakeback tab</a> will specify the requirements, and any other extras you can get (like deposit bonuses) for the brand.</p><p>The second kind of offer we have on PS are the <a href="/rooms/loyalty-points/">PS Loyalty Points</a> deals. The brands contained on this page can offer you EITHER PS Points for your play OR a one-time deposit bonus PS Points injection of 4-6K PS Points.</p><p>The third kind of offer we have on Pokerspace is the Deposit Bonus deals. You can find these deals on the brands located in the <a href="/rooms/deposit-bonus-codes/">Deposit Bonus Codes page</a>. These are SOLELY cash deposit bonuses, and are granted by the Poker Rooms themselves. Even if you download via our links you will not show as tracked/not tracked for ANY of these brands.</p><p><img alt="" src="/uploaded-images-1/1237481500-69747-470.jpg" /></p><p><br /> Once you have done researching which offers you would like to take advantage of, and on which brands, you can click on that deal (see below for a diagram of where you click) and click the download button. Please follow the instructions carefully, and make sure you double check you are downloading on the page that displays the offer and brand you are looking for.</p><p><strong>(A)</strong><img alt="" src="/uploaded-images-2/1237481596-42511-470.jpg" /></p><p><strong>(B)</strong></p><p><img alt="" src="/uploaded-images-3/1237481530-28310-470.jpg" /></p><p><br /><strong>NOTE</strong>: If you download via the Carbon Poker page located in the PS Loyalty Points page, you will earn PS Points for your play. You <strong>CANNOT</strong> get rakeback if you download via this page. There is a Carbon Poker brand page in the rakeback section for this specific reason.</p><p><img alt="" src="/uploaded-images-1/1237481547-28640-470.jpg" /></p><p><br /> When you are done downloading via our links and instructions, you need to register your brand user information on your Pokerspace account.

*Text		<p>Hey Pokerspacers!</p><p>This week I thought I would highlight a feature that has been getting a lot of attention since it was brought to Pokerspace - the Room Stats page. You can access this page a couple of ways; via your Quick Links menu and under the Rooms tab in the main menu.</p><p>It is important to register any Poker Room you have accounts on. Whether you downloaded the room software from our links or not, registering your brand account information will allow you to participate in PS-exclusive tournaments at that brand, and will allow us to assist you if you encounter problems with that brand. To register a brand account on Pokerspace (after the room has been downloaded and an account has been created), you have to follow these steps:</p><p><strong>a) </strong>Go to your profile page</p><p><strong>b)</strong> Click on the Edit Profile link under your Pokerspace alias</p><p><strong>c)</strong> Click on the Poker Rooms tab</p><p><strong>d)</strong> Select which brand you would like to register</p><p><strong>e)</strong> Follow the instructions - did you download via Pokerspace, etc. - and answer honestly, or else your account will not get validated one way or the other</p><p><strong>f)</strong> Input your information ~ pay close attention to the details we ask you for because they are different on each brand, and are essential for us to validate your account</p><p>Once you have registered your rooms, you will see this information updated on your Room Stats page.</p><p><strong>UPDATES</strong>:<br /> The main question PS members ask support is when their room stats will be updated, and whether they will be tracked to Pokerspace. While I already wrote a blog about this here, I thought that this blog should review a bit of what I wrote. Depending on the message that is shown, their concern is valid, but the issue is never that serious, so don't be afraid to shoot us a message at <a href="/">support@pokerspace.com</a> and someone will be happy to look into the issue for you. In the meantime, here is a simple breakdown of the wait times:</p><p><strong>a)</strong> If you downloaded the software from PS and created a first-time account, it can take up to 10 business days to validate your account <strong>IF </strong>you have deposited, played in cash games, and have been raking consistently</p><p><strong>b)</strong> You will notice that any brand downloaded via the Deposit Bonus Codes page will not get validated one way or the other because we don't receive reports for these brands. This fact does not affect your account in any way</p><p><strong>c)</strong> If you downloaded via another site your account will not be tracked to Pokerspace but should be shown as "not-tracked" within the 10 business days. Remember that brands located via the Deposit Bonus Codes page will not get validated one way or the other because we don't receive reports for these brands</p><p><strong>MESSAGES</strong>:<br /> There are <strong>five messages</strong> that you will see associated with your accounts. These are as follows:</p><p>--- <strong>Verifying</strong>: Waiting for the poker room to validate your account.</p><p>This is pretty self-explanatory; however, you will notice that this is the message that shows for a long time if you are finding yourself in situation (b) or (c) above.</p><p>--- <strong>Pending</strong>: Your account has been validated and will receive the PS points once you complete the requirements.</p><p>The above message will show for specific offers only, such as the Carbon Poker PS Loyalty Points offer. Your account has been validated and put on our tracker, but you have not completed the $50 deposit and 1000 comp point earning requirement needed to earn out the 5000 PS point deposit bonus point injection. Usually there is a small "?" beside the message will outline what these requirements are.</p><p>--- <strong>Active/Completed</strong>: You are ready to earn points as you play and/or you have earned your Deposit Bonus PS Points.</p><p>This message will be displayed when you have correctly downloaded and registered your information and you are appearing on our reports. Your stats should be updated on a weekly basis.</p><p>--- <strong>Completed but not found</strong>: We cannot offer you an exclusive offer. Please contact <a href="/">support@pokerspace.com</a>.</p><p>This message will show when you did not download via our links (or you have not YET shown on our reports). Give it a week and contact support if you encounter this message.</p><p>--- <strong>Not Trackable:</strong> Unfortunately, we are unable to verify accounts on this poker room.</p><p>This message will show when you have submitted information for a brand that we do not receive reports for, and that we do not offer an exclusive deal with. Included in this status are any brands listed under on the "<a href="/rooms/deposit-bonus-codes/">Deposit Bonus Codes</a>" page.</p><p><strong>THE PAGE DIAGRAM</strong>:<br /> This diagram displays some of the options you may encounter. Please understand where you stand before contacting support, and when you do contact us, please make sure you give us specific information or it can take a long time for us to update you on the situation.</p><p><img src="/uploaded-images-3/1242922493-60415-470.jpg" alt="" /></p><p><strong>DEFINING THE COLUMNS/FEATURES</strong>:<br /> The columns titled "<strong>Rakeback</strong>" and "<strong>PS Points</strong>" will be updated weekly (sometimes daily), but please note that they will be set to "0" once we finalize the month-end. This means that these stats are monthly and not overall. The "<strong>Last Updated</strong>" column shows the last time that we inputted the stats for a specific brand. The report may not contain information that is specific to your account, so please do not worry if you see that date update, but your stats stay the same.</p><p>The final feature on this page is the <strong>Add an Offer</strong> drop-down menus. If you feel like adding another brand, go ahead and select another brand. Note that you are only allowed to add one offer per brand (though more may be offered).</p><p>If there is anything else you believe I missed about this page, and the feature in general, let me know and I will try to answer your questions and concerns! I hope this information is helpful in the meantime.</p><p>Michelle</p>

Getting to know the Brand Deals Pokerspace Offers

*Text		<p>Before reading this article, it is absolutely important to read and understand <a href="http://www.pokerspace.com/school/articles/poker-rooms-and-deals/highlighting-pokerspace-how-to-properly-download-rooms-to-get-ps-points-or-rakeback-deals/">this article</a> on downloading and registering your poker rooms through the links on Pokerspace. <br /><br /> Pokerspace tries to get its members the best deals on poker rooms, and as a result there are a few different kinds of offers that should be explored. By examining the benefits of each unique offer you will get better acquainted with which deal and poker room best benefits your poker play. <br /><br /> The first kind of deal that you can access on Pokerspace is <a href="/rooms/loyalty-points/">PS Points for play</a>. This kind of offer is a great option because it gives you a constant stream of PS Points injected into your Pokerspace account on a daily basis. These points also give you access to the PS Rewards Points at the end of the month (for hundreds and thousands of PS Points added), and can be used to access promotions and features all around the site, including exclusive tournaments. <br /><br /> To earn PS Points for your play, all you have to do is download the brand from Pokerspace and rake in cash games on the rooms to start earning points immediately. For example, if you download Walker Poker from Pokerspace and you play in SNGs and ring games frequently, you can earn PS Points for that play.<br /><br /> Other brands that offer PS Points for play include:<br /><br /> • Carbon Poker <br /> • Canada Poker<br /> • UltimateBet<br /> • Full Tilt<br /> • Cake Poker<br /> • Walker Poker<br /><br /> Secondly, Pokerspace offers its members competitive <a href="/rooms/rakeback-deals/">rakeback deals</a> on certain poker rooms. Every time you play poker online, the poker site takes a percentage of the pot as rake. Rakeback can give you up to 50% of that rake back when you sign up to any of our industry leading deals. These deals are a unique option for poker players because it allows you to earn money for your play in addition to your winnings. Rakeback essentially rewards players for being loyal and if you are a regular online poker player you probably contribute hundreds or perhaps thousands of dollars in rake each month. <br /><br /> While the percentage that players earn back varies between poker rooms, Pokerspace has competitive rates that best benefit our members. For example, if you download Absolute Poker from our deals for a 30% rakeback offer and you play in 1000 raked hands (which is equivalent to around 5 hours of play at two tables) with blinds of $0.25/$0.50, you can receive up to $25 back!<br /><br /> Pokerspace also offers rakeback at the following rooms:<br /><br /> • Full Tilt @ 27% rakeback<br /> • UltimateBet @ 30% rakeback<br /> • PlayersOnly @ 33% rakeback<br /> • FatBet @ 50% rakeback<br /> • PKR @ 30% rakeback<br /> • Carbon Poker @ 30% rakeback<br /> • Fortune Poker @ 30% rakeback<br /> • Absolute Poker @ 30% rakeback<br /><br /> The third kind of Poker Room deal that you can receive from Pokerspace is a Pokerspace deposit bonus. Pokerspace Deposit Bonuses are a way that you can earn a large amount of PS Points for your initial deposit on a poker brand. While you won't get a constant stream of Pokerspace points, these deposit bonus points are a great way for you to earn a large number of Pokerspace points all at once. <br /><br /> There are three types of Pokerspace deposit bonuses. The first kind allows you to deposit and earn your sum of PS Points without meeting any point requirement. For example, if you download Bodog from our links, deposit, and are active, you will get 4000 PS Points. <br /><br /> The second kind of Pokerspace deposit bonus gives you the points after you have met some deposit requirements. These requirements can include a minimum amount of money that needs to be deposited, and/or a play requirement. For example, if you download Mansion Poker you have to deposit and earn 50 MPPs before you can receive the 4000 PS Points.<br /><br /> The third kind of Pokerspace deposit bonus gives our members a large sum of Pokerspace points for an initial deposit (once requirements are met) and unlimited PS Point earnings for play. For example, if you download Carbon Poker from our links, you have to deposit at least $50 and earn 200 VIP points on the room in order to receive your 5000 PS Point deposit bonus, but you also earn PS Points for your play.<br /><br /> The brands that have a PS Deposit Bonus include:<br /><br /> • Absolute Poker (deposit a minimum of $50 and play 200 raked hands)<br /> • Titan Poker (Deposit $50 and earn 500 Titan Points)<br /> • PlayersOnly (Deposit and earn 100 FPPs)<br /> • Mansion Poker (Deposit and earn 50 MPPs)<br /> • Bodog (Deposit)<br /> • Carbon Poker (Deposit $50 and earn 200 VIPs)<br /><br /> The final type of deal that Pokerspace offers to its members is the <a href="/rooms/deposit-bonus-codes/">brand deposit bonuses</a>. These brands don't have any specific and exclusive deal with Pokerspace, but by downloading them from our site you can receive up to $1,000 in bonuses. Poker Rooms offer huge deposit bonuses as an incentive to get new players; all of them free and extremely rewarding.<br /><br /> These brands include:<br /><br /> • PokerStars<br /> • Hollywood Poker<br /> • Red Kings<br /> • Wass Poker<br /> • NoIQ Poker<br /> • <a href="/rooms/pacific-poker/">Pacific Poker</a>/<a href="/rooms/pacific-poker/">http://888.com</a><br /> • Party Poker<br /> • Ladbrokes<br /> • <a href="/rooms/cellsino-poker/">Cellsino Poker</a><br /><br /> Pokerspace has set up exclusive deposit bonuses with many of these poker rooms and most of them are the highest deposit bonuses you will find on the net!<br /><br /> If you are interested in playing in Pokerspace tournaments hosted on any of the above poker rooms, you may as well download through Pokerspace to get the best deals you will ever find!</p>

*Text		<h3>What is the Crew Cup?</h3><p>The Crew Cup is a series of monthly poker leagues where poker crews compete in 2 weekly tournaments earning crew cup points. Crews can join a North American or European league for 3000 PS points or play for free in a practice league. The crews with the most crew cup points in each buy-in league at the end of the month qualify for 2 final tournaments where the lowest combined crew score wins a fabulous trip. The top 3 crews in the practice league will win a free buy-in into the North American or European league in the following month.</p><h3>How does the scoring system work for Crew Cup Points?</h3><p>In a Crew Cup event the rank of the top three finishers in each crew will be added up. The winning Crew will be the one that has the lowest total.</p><p>Example: Two crews competing in a Tournament:<br /> Top 3 Crew A finishers: 17th 25th 36th = 78<br /> Top 3 Crew B finishers: 1st 60th 117th = 178<br /><br /> Crew A will finish in 1st and Crew B will finish in 2nd.</p><p><strong>Crew Cup Points:</strong><br /> Each participating crew will earn Crew Cup points. If there were 20 crews competing then the 1st place crew (the one with the lowest total rank) will earn 20 Crew Cup Pts. 2nd Place crew would earn 19 Crew Cup pts and so on.</p><p><strong>Tie breaker in a Crew Cup event:</strong><br /> The crew with the highest individual finish will win the tie-breaker. Example: if 2 crews end up with the score of 50 where Crew A is 1st 24th 25th and Crew B is 3rd 17th 30th.. Crew A will finished ahead of Crew B. The same rule applies in 3-way ties.</p><h3>How to qualify for the Final Crew Cup Tournament:</h3><p>You can qualify by finishing at the top of the North American or European monthly crew league based on your total # of Crew Cup points. Pokerspace gives away 1 entry to the final for every 10 crews participating in the league (rounded up). Crew can also qualify in 1 of 2 direct qualifiers held after the monthly leagues for their last chance to qualify for the final. Again, Pokerspace gives away 1 entry to the final for every 10 crews participating in the direct qualifier (rounded up).</p><h3>Can I get kicked off a crew after contributing points to a league buy-in or after my crew qualifies for the finals?</h3><p>Once a crew has fully bought into a league no members on that crew can be kicked off so make sure you have your final 6 member crew set before buying in. If a crew member is voted to be kicked off before the full buy-in is paid that member will be removed and any contributions he made to the buy-in will be refunded. However, a crew member may voluntarily leave a crew at any time.</p><p>Once your crew has qualified for the Crew Cup final you will not be able to kick off any members.</p><h3>Crews with less than 3 members playing in a Crew Cup event:</h3><p> <strong>Practice Crew Cup league events</strong><br /></p><p>Crews with less than 3 members playing in an event will be issued extra scores to simulate 3 participating members on the crew. If a crew only has 2 members playing in a crew competition tournament their crew will receive a 3rd score equal to a last place finish plus 1. If a crew only has 1 member playing in a crew competition tournament his/her crew will receive a 2nd score equal to a last place finish plus 1 and a 3rd score equal to a last place finish plus 2.</p><p> <strong>Buy-in Crew Cup league events: </strong><br /></p><p>Members of crews with less than 3 competing in any tournament must sit out of the tournament and allow them to be blinded out. Each crew member is obliged after the start of the game to check the live results page on Pokerspace to see if at least 3 members of their crew are playing in the current tournament or not. If there is a rank beside their username (ie. "4th" or "233rd") then it means they are playing in the tournament. If the website is not available due to technical errors, each crew member must check in the tournament lobby in the poker client, if at least 3 crew members signed up for the game. If less than 3 players from the same crew are registered and play in the tournament, the players from those incomplete crews have to sit out for the rest of the tournament.</p><p>There is a 3 strike rule in place to deal with players that don't follow this rule. First, they will receive a formal warning from Pokerspace admin. Second, their score for the remaining Crew Cup events for any given month will not count towards their crew score. And third with the 3rd strike they will be suspended from Pokerspace for 1 week and no longer be allowed to compete in Crew Cup events for the rest of the month. It is your responsibility to know how many of your crew members are playing, ignorance is not an excuse.</p><p>Pokerspace admins cannot monitor this ourselves as we won't be able to tell the difference between players that sit out then eventually bust vs a player who plays a bunch of hands then busts. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the Pokerspace community to police this. If you are making a complaint about another member you must send a screen shot that contains a chat comment asking the member to sit out. In addition to that, you must provide a screen shot or hand history of the player playing in a hand. This will alleviate any "he said she said" arguments we have had with users swearing up and down they didn't play any hands once they weren't about the rule. We will only be acting on legitimite emails sent to <a href="mailto:support@pokerspace.com">support@pokerspace.com</a> (or <a href="/contact/support/">click here</a>) (forum and blog posts will be disregarded and/or deleted).</p><p>Note: In any Buy-in League Crew Cup event and the Crew Cup Finals, if your crew has less than 3 members participating they will not receive any Crew Cup points whatsoever.</p><h3>If ineligible players place in a Crew Cup Tournament:</h3><p>If a player that is not on a crew with at least 3 members (manages to get in a crew tournament) and finishes in the money, he/she will be disqualified and not receive their cash payout. However, their position will not be removed from the final tournament standings with respect to the crew competition (ie. If a non-crew member finishes 1st and a qualifying players finishes 2nd, the qualifying player will STILL receive 2 points on their final crew score).</p><h3>Submitting incorrect details:</h3><p>If you play in a Crew Cup tournament and submit the wrong poker alias on PS for that particular event your placement will not count towards your crew score. *We will not go back and change it for that event*</p><p>If you need your alias changed before a particular event please email <a href="mailto:support@pokerspace.com">support@pokerspace.com</a> (or <a href="/contact/support/">click here</a>) at least 24hrs prior to the start of the tournament.</p><h3>Password Leaks:</h3><ul><li>For buy-in leagues: Only Crews that buy-in to the league with at least 3 members are given the passwords.</li> <li>For non-buyin leagues only crews with at least 3 members are provided the passwords.</li> <li>Any PS member caught sharing our Passwords with non-eligible members will be either banned or suspended from Pokerspace, the Crew Cup and potentially banned from that particular poker site.</li> <li>If non PS members enter a crew cup tournament they will not be eligible for any points/prizes and we reserve the right to have that user banned from that particular poker site, the Crew Cup and from Pokerspace.</li> <li>If the ineligible player exhibits any suspect activity like chip dumping to a crew or crew member please report it to <a href="mailto:support@pokerspace.com">support@pokerspace.com</a> (or <a href="/contact/support/">click here</a>) and provide as much info about the hand(s) as possible, including hand histories. Pokerspace will then review each case and act accordingly.</li> </ul><h3>Crew teamwork:</h3><p>In any team competition it is in the best interest of the team that its members play together and crew competitions are no different. Although poker rooms have rules against this behavior in regular tournaments, teamwork is completely acceptable in any crew competition tournament. Crewmates are allowed to play against each other however they choose, which includes any type of "chip dumping". Here are a few things to consider with respect to "chip dumping":</p><ul><li>In tournaments with > 50-100 players the opportunity to dump chips doesn't happen very often</li> <li>At times it is impossible to distinguish between a "chip dump", a bad poker play, and a misclick. For this reason it is nearly impossible to police chip dumping even if we thought it was best for the game.</li> <li>Chip dumping or similar play can backfire! In fact, many crews employ and discuss strategies of how to counter it.</li> </ul><h3>Sharing of hands:</h3><p>As there is no way to protect against it online crew members are permitted to share hands with each other. However, players CANNOT give hand information in open chat on the poker rooms. If a player is found doing it they will be penalized: either disqualified from the event or in severe cases they will be either banned or suspended from the Crew Cup and/or Pokerspace</p><h3>Cross-crew teamwork:</h3><p>While teamwork within a crew is acceptable, teamwork among multiple crews is strictly prohibited. This includes: chip dumping, sharing hands and playing "soft" or differently against other crews to reduce the risk to the crew members of being eliminated from the tournament.</p><p>If there is proof that crews are exhibiting any of the above behavior or a crew competition participant has instructed other crews to do any of the above please forward all information (including hand histories, chat logs, screen shots, etc) to <a href="mailto:support@pokerspace.com">support@pokerspace.com</a> (or <a href="/contact/support/">click here</a>). If the Pokerspace admins/moderators decide the proof is significant enough the penalty may be a deduction of Crew Cup points, disqualification from a single crew competition tournament, or disqualification from the entire Crew Cup. If this happens more than once Pokerspace reserves the right to disqualify, suspend or ban a crew from any or all future crew competitions.</p><h3>Tiebreakers:</h3><p>Tiebreaker for a single Crew Cup event: the crew with the highest individual finish will win the tie-breaker. Example: if 2 crews end up with the score of 50 where Crew A is 1st 24th 25th and Crew B is 3rd 17th 30th.. Crew A will finished ahead of Crew B. The same rule applies in 3-way ties</p><p>Tiebreaker at the end of a monthly league: the crew with the best finish in the last crew competition of the league finishes wins.</p><h3>Position on Poker Room "rules":</h3><p>As long as we run separate tourneys for crew events, Crew competition rules ONLY pertain to official Pokerspace crew events. All other events are subject to the regular poker room rules and may result in suspension by the host poker room or Pokerspace. If you suspect players are demonstrating chip dumping and/or collusion in any games outside of the Crew Competition events, it is your duty to submit this information to the support team of the host Poker Room (and not Pokerspace) as they have a qualified Fraud & Security team to review these instances.</p><h3>Comments or Suggestions:</h3><p>Give us your feedback and we will take all constructive suggestions into consideration for future Crew Cup tournaments. Please email <a href="mailto:support@pokerspace.com">support@pokerspace.com</a> (or <a href="/contact/support/">click here</a>).</p><h3>Changes to the Crew Cup rules:</h3><p>Pokerspace may, at any given time, edit or add additional rules. This will likely occur if a rule is unclear or an unforeseen issue arises and a new rule is required.</p>

*Text		<p>Pokerspace has a plethora of tournaments each week, so it is imperative that you understand the different types and how they can best benefit you! <br /><br /> The first and most popular type of tournament on Pokerspace is the <strong>freeroll </strong>tournament. While Pokerspace doesn't offer a lot of these tournaments, freerolls are tournaments that do not cost any PS Points or cash to play. Freeroll tournaments can benefit newer players who don't have a PS Point or cash bankroll. These tournaments usually do not feature a PS Point-added prizepool, and the cash is usually paid out immediately after the tournament ends. Results for these tournaments are not finalized on Pokerspace so no accolades are distributed.<br /><br /><strong>Member's Only Freerolls</strong> are the second type of tournament that Pokerspace offers. These are Pokerspace-specific tournaments, and feature a prizepool that includes both cash on the poker room and a share of the PS Point buy-in. Unlike normal freeroll tournaments, the PS Point Buy-In Freeroll requires our members to use a small amount of their Pokerspace Points to register and play. The great thing about playing in these tournaments is that the prizepool includes a lot of cash, and the more players that join the event on Pokerspace, the more points get added to the prizepool.<br /><br /> Another feature of these tournaments is that the small PS Point buy-in safeguards against password sharing. Pokerspace pays out the points and cash manually for these events, so if you didn't join the event page on Pokerspace, you don't get paid your points or cash prizes (members and non-members alike) and players finishing behind you will move up 1 position.<br /><br /> The third kind of tournament that Pokerspace offers is <strong>PS Point Buy-In tournaments</strong>. These tournaments require members to pay a specific number of PS Points to join the tournament. By clicking the "join" button on the event page, the points are automatically taken from the member's account. The more people who join this event, the more PS Points will be added to the prizepool!<br /><br /> Unlike the Member's Only Freerolls, these tournaments have no cash added, which means they only benefit people who are active on Pokerspace and wish to win PS Points. Like the Member's Only Freeroll tournaments, these tournaments are safeguarded against password sharing. Any player that did not pay the PS points buy-in will not be included in the results and all players finishing behind him/her will move up 1position.<br /><br /> The fourth type of tournament that Pokerspace hosts is called a <strong>Small Buy-In tournament</strong>. These tournaments do not require players to contribute PS Points to play, but do require that they buy into the tournament with actual cash. The cash is taken at the Poker Room themselves, and the payouts are done by the Poker Room as well. These tournaments payout a cash prizepool based on the # of buy-ins AND a small PS Points prizepool for those who place in the money.<br /><br /> Pokerspace also features unique <strong>Crew Competition events</strong>, where crews of 3 or more players compete against other crews for trips, sponsorships, PS Points, and poker gear. These unique tournaments are team-based, featuring altered rules for acceptable play between team-mates. As an example, we currently host the Crew Cup Competition.
