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. Sign into your PS Account<br /> 2. Click on the total points in the Quick Links menu (to the right of your profile)<br /> 3. On the right hand side of your PS Points page, you will see "My PS Points Bankroll"<br /> 4. 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>
