Unibet Poker Club FAQ

Where can I see my VIP points balance?
You can see your VIP points balance in top right of the Unibet Poker software. You can follow your progress by clicking the ‘Poker Club’ button in the poker software.

How do I get my cash bonus?
if you’re Gold tier or above, your cash bonus will be paid automatically every Monday and your points balance will reduce automatically, although you can also change them at any time – just click the ‘loyalty’ button in the software and follow the instructions.

What are bonus points?
Bonus points are given in promotions and certain loyalty bands as a top up to the points you earn while you play. They cannot be changed for cash, but you can use any VIP points you have over in the Unibet Shop, or you can spend them on tournaments in the software.

How is my tier calculated?
Your tier depends on how many VIP points you earn within each week – see the table above. You can see your tier within the poker software, and what you need to do to go up a tier.

How do I go up a tier?
Earn more points within the week. You can follow your progress by clicking the ‘Loyalty’ button in the Unibet Poker software.

How and why do I go down a tier?
At Platinum tier and above, you will stay on that band for a month whatever happens, then you will drop a tier if you don’t play enough. At other tiers, you must maintain your points earning in that week to stay on that tier. The maximum number of tiers you can drop per week is one.

What happens if I go up a tier within a week?
You will earn points and get your bonus according to the highest tier you attain within the week.

Do my VIP points expire?
Your VIP points will expire automatically after 180 days’ account inactivity.

What happens to my current VIP points balance?
Your old VIP points balance will be converted to new VIP points at the rate of 2 to 1 – this means your balance will be multiplied by two and your balance will have the same tournament or shop redemption value.

What is the difference between Tier Points and Bonus Points?
Your VIP Points balance is made up of Tier and Bonus Loyalty Points. When you play for real money at Unibet Poker, you earn Tier Points. Extra Points earned from Specials and Tier Bonuses are Bonus Points. Only Tier Loyalty Points contribute to moving you up to the next Loyalty tier. However, Tier and Bonus VIP Points have the same value when you redeem them.

What can I do with my Loyalty Points?
Your Loyalty Points can be used to: Buy into selected tournaments, Purchase merchandise in the Shop, Some or all of your points will be redeemed for cash at Gold level or above

Why can I not redeem all my Loyalty Points for cash?
A percentage of points can be redeemed for money at Gold tier or above. Any bonus points you have been given will not be redeemable for cash.

How many points will be consumed when I convert to cash?
For Every 1USD you get in cash bonus, 33 VIP points will be redeemed.

What is the Grace Period?
The Grace Period is the limited period of time that enables you to remain on a tier, even if you have not managed to gain the required number of points for that tier. At the end of a grace period if you do not earn the required number of points for that tier, you will be moved to a lower tier.

When I redeem my points, does this affect moving up or down in tiers?
No, redeeming your points does not affect your tier placement or movement.
