RedKings Rakeback
VIP information on this page is accurate as of September, 2016
Redkings offers rewards equivalent to up to 40% rakeback through their VIP program.
Players earn 3.6 Player Points per $1 in rake in tournaments.
In cash games Player Points points depend on your weighted contribution to the pot and the strength relationship between players – the Essence system – whereby weaker, recreational players receive more rakeback credit and ‘sharks’ receive less. This can lower your rewards as a winning player, however it does have the benefit of creating easier games.
Players then receive 0.72 RedKings Crowns per point and trade these for cashback in the VIP shop.

RedKings Rakeback Payments
Crowns are earned automatically and players can cash them in on demand.
Players can earn more equivalent rakeback through RedKing’s monthly $10,000 points race, easy to place highly in given Ongame’s relatively low player traffic and recreational player base.
