The Level Up feature is designed to reward good poker play. Rather than continuously building a bank and leveraging that bank to win more chips, you can now increase your score by thousands of points by advancing to the next “Level” of play. In fact, for each level you advance to, you will earn 1000 points and the levels are infinite!
It is quite simple actually. Each level has a higher bank requirement to qualify to advance to the next level so it gets harder to advance each time.
Here is an example of the requirements up to level 6:
This means that if you get over $100,000 in your bank and 1000 hands played, you will then qualify to advance to level 2. In order to advance to that level, you must play in, and win a Level Up Tournament. Once you qualify to Level Up, you will see the option to create your Level Up Tournament in the Create Game tab. When you choose this option, the tournament is then announced and challengers will join to play against you. If you win this tournament, you advance to the next level. If you lose, you can try again, as long as you have enough chips. The Level Up tournament will cost you 10% of your chips to play, so if you do not win, you will have to go back to the tables and rebuild your bank to qualify for another attempt.
With each new level, you will jump to a new point level. Level 2 advances you to 1000 points, level 3 to 2000 points and so on… And as you advance to new levels, you may find some other bonus features along the way!
