Poker770 Make Changes to Their VIP System
Following the iPoker network's switch to the weighted contributed rake allocation model, Poker770 have made some significant changes to their VIP system for cash game players, effective from February 1st. Find out more below.
Changes to Points770 allocation
The new changes to the Poker770 point allocation system will affect the cash game players only. If you are one of them, you might be wondering: how exactly are those changes affecting me? Let's have a look:
| Points Allocation Changes - Cash Game Tables | |||
| Limit (all game and bet types) |
USD tables | EUR tables | GBP tables |
| $0.01/$0.02 - $0.02/$0.04 | 30 Points770/$1 rake | 38 Points770/€1 rake | 45 Points770/£1 rake |
| $0.05/$0.10 | 25 Points770/$1 rake | 32 Points770/€1 rake | 38 Points770/£1 rake |
| above $0.05/$0.10 | 20 Points770/$1 rake | 25 Points770/€1 rake | 30 Points770/£1 rake |
| Points Allocation - Tournament Tables* | ||
| USD tables | EUR tables | GBP tables |
| 22 Points770 per $1 fee | 27 Points770 per €1 fee | 32 Points770 per £1 fee |
*Note: No changes were made to the point allocation system for tournament tables. The information above is there only to serve as comparison.
More value at micro stakes
The first thing you might notice is that micro stakes cash game players are now getting more Points770 for every dollar of rake they pay.
This will increase the amount of value that players get across all VIP levels at Poker770. Thanks to this change, micro stakes players will reach a VIP level at a faster rate, as well as getting a higher point booster.
If the players are clearing a first deposit bonus, they will also clear it at a faster rate than before, thanks to these recent changes.
Another interesting thing is that Poker770 will no longer award points depending on the pot size/rake taken from it. Therefore, it is now actually possible for Poker770 cash game players to assess their VIP system and calculate the amount of rewards they are getting.
