PlayersOnly Gold Cards

Gold Cards are part of the player rewards program at PlayersOnly.com, and they're specifically for poker players at the site. Although most poker sites simply have an FPP reward program, PlayersOnly has gone the extra mile and created this fun and unique way of handling player rewards. Read on for all the details:

What are Gold Cards?

Gold Cards are won by poker players at PlayersOnly.com while playing real money ring games. Every once in a while, a Gold Card will pop up at the end of a hand. If you held that specific card in your hand (even if you folded) you'll be awarded that specific Gold Card.

For example, say you had 9c10c and folded preflop. At the end of the hand, all of a sudden a golden 10 of clubs pops up at the table. Guess what - it's yours!

After you win a Gold Card it will be displayed in your account, and it is yours forever (well, until you redeem it for a prize).

Although PlayersOnly stresses that gold cards are dealt at random, there is more going on than meets the eye. The distribution of Gold Cards is based on accumulated rake, so if you're playing at a higher limit table you'll earn more gold cards, while players at micro-stakes tables will see them less often.

How Can I Use My Gold Cards?

Very good question. Once you start racking up gold cards, you'll certainly start to wonder what they're good for. Well, there are basically four ways to use your gold cards:

#1 - Gold Card Daily Lottery

Every day the PlayersOnly.com poker room randomly picks one gold card for their lottery. If you happen to have collected that gold card, you'll automatically win a prize. Some common prizes that have been given out include $100, PlayersOnly merchandise, or even entry to a major tournament on the site.

There is one catch - if you win the lottery, you actually have to redeem it the day you won or it expires. Make sure to log in every day to check if you've won the drawing.

#2 - Gold Card 500 Weekly Race

The second way you can use your gold cards are in the 500 weekly race. Each week, starting at 8:01 AM on Monday, a new race starts. How it works is that every gold card you earn during the week moves you around a virtual track, and there are 500 total miles in the virtual track.

The first ten players to travel 500 miles and complete the race receive a prize:

Place: Price
1st $500
2nd $400
3rd $350
4th $300
5th $350
6th $200
7th $150
8th $125
9th $115
10th $100

In the rare event that there aren't ten players to complete the race, the prizes will go to the top ten mile accumulators, even if they didn't make it to 500.

#3 - Monthly Random Hands

At the end of each month PlayersOnly.com will make a few random hands up and post them on the site. If you happen to hold the right Gold Cards to make one or more of the hands, you're entitled to a free, instant cash prize.

Usually PlayersOnly will post a few hands, and they will range in value from $200 to $1,000 when it comes to their prize value.

#4 - $52,000 Prize!

Every time PlayersOnly starts a new Gold Card series, everyone's' eyes are on the $52,000 grand prize. This is awarded to the first player to accumulate an entire deck of Gold Cards - yep! they get a free $52,000!
