Level Up is back!

Play for 20 days next month and earn yourself a status upgrade plus up to $100 in cash!




level up

Calling all PokerStrategists! Give your account the best possible boost this November by helping yourself to either a Gold, PlatinumPlatinum, or DiamondDiamond status upgrade as well as earning up to an extra $100 in selected rooms.

To do this, all you need to do is play for at least 20 days in November and you'll be Levelling Up in no time.

How do I Level Up?

Your best bet is to play as much as you can over the coming month but as long as you hit the minimum of 20 days, you'll be levelled up.

You do not need to play on 20 consecutive days; you can have days off in between as long as they add up to 20 days overall, but please note, there are no exceptions for players who miss their daily targets.

In addition, some of our partner poker rooms are offering cash rewards for our dedicated grinders: $20 for reaching GoldGold status, $50 for PlatinumPlatinum and $100 for DiamondDiamond!

There's no better chance to hit the next status level and unlock all the benefits attached!

Level Up status calculations

In order to reach your desired status, you must meet the following StrategyPoint goals for 20 days in November:

Calculation for GoldGold status
10 StrategyPoints each day for 20 days + 200 StrategyPoints
20x 10 bonus StrategyPoints a day + 200 StrategyPoints
100 bonus StrategyPoints + 100 StrategyPoints
Overall Total = GoldGold status
Calculation for PlatinumPlatinum status
90 StrategyPoints each day for 20 days + 1,800 StrategyPoints
20x 10 bonus StrategyPoints a day + 200 StrategyPoints
500 bonus StrategyPoints + 500 StrategyPoints
Overall Total = PlatinumPlatinum status
Calculation for DiamondDiamond status
320 StrategyPoints each day for 20 days + 6,400 StrategyPoints
20x 10 bonus StrategyPoints a day + 200 StrategyPoints
900 bonus StrategyPoints + 900 StrategyPoints
Overall Total = DiamondDiamond status

Participating rooms & cash rewards

Level Up cash rewards

Hit the above SP goals at a participating poker room and be rewarded with cash:

  • Gold status - $20
  • Platinum status - $50
  • Diamond status - $100

Check the table below for eligible rooms in which you can receive an additional cash reward.

If you do complete this promotion and receive a status upgrade, some of our partner rooms will reward you with an additional cash prize depending on the status you've levelled up to.

The table below lists the rooms and what they're offering. Should you win a cash reward, this will be credited to your respective poker room account at the beginning of December.

*Qualifying SPs must be earned per room - for example, you will not receive a cash reward for Gold status if you earn 5SP on partypoker and 5SP on PokerStars for 20 days in November. Players can earn multiple cash rewards by hitting SP targets at different participating rooms.

We recommend that users do not aim to get just the necessary StrategyPoint goals (e.g. only 10 SP per day) as, due to currency changes and other factors, a perceived 10SP may be registered as e.g. 9.7 SP. Additionally, please note poker room server times are not necessarily equal to the StrategyPoint reporting times and no exceptions can be made for players who miss their daily targets, even by a fraction.
