Earning Gold Chips
All players earn Frequent Player Points (FPPs) when playing in our real money ring or tournament games. At Cake Poker, FPPs accumulate to become Gold Chips, which are redeemable for free tournament play and the Cake Shop.
Turning FPPs to Gold
The question you are likely asking is, how do my FPPs become Gold? The exchange process of FPPs to Gold Chips is automatic. FPPs accumulated turn in to Gold Chips at a descending rate; each calendar month, after earning your first Gold Chip, you'll need fewer FPPs to earn your next. And so on. Earning FPPs is based on the Gold Chip index below. Please note the earn rate below is reset at the beginning of each calendar month.
| First Gold Chip: | 120 FPP |
| Second Gold Chip: | 115 FPP |
| Third Gold Chip: | 110 FPP |
| Fourth Gold Chip: | 90 FPP |
| Fifth Gold Chip: | 70 FPP |
| Sixth Gold Chip: | FREE * |
| Seventh Gold Chip+ | 70 FPP |
Frequent Player Points
When you are dealt cards in a real money ring game, you'll earn 1 FPP for every dollar raked. At Cake, we believe a penny played should be a penny earned, so we're accurate down to the penny when it comes to FPPs. For example, if your table was raked $1.25, you will receive 1.25 FPP.
In tournament play, you'll earn 7 FPPs per dollar in tournament fees paid. The tournament fee paid is indicated by the "(+ $)" when registering for a tournament. For example, if you joined our $100,000 Guarantee event for $300 (+$20), you would earn 140 FPPs.
| Ring Games: | $1 Rake = 1 FPP |
| Tournaments: | $1 Fee = 7 FPP |
