admin Collecting Gold Cards
Collecting Gold Cards is as easy as taking a seat at any stake or level of a Only Poker Real money ring game. In order for you to develop a solid redemption strategy and ensure that you get the best value for your reward collection it’s important to learn about Gold Cards.
How do I earn a Gold Card?
By taking a seat in any of our Real money ring games, you’re eligible to receive a Gold Card. As there are no minimum requirements necessary to earn a Gold Card, you may receive one on your first hand, even if you fold!
How does it work?
A Gold Card is released every time the table reaches a pre-determined rake amount. Therefore, you will see Gold Cards more frequently at the higher limit tables (even though Gold Cards fall at all levels and stakes of our ring games). When you earn a Gold Card, you’ll see it move towards your spot at the table, and from there it will be issued to your Gold Cards collection (within your Only Poker rewards portfolio).
What is the value of a Gold Card?
Collecting Gold Cards is like collecting hocky cards or other memorabilia. While some will hold instant value on their own, others may increase in value as your collection grows and time passes. The fun part is in how you play them. Before redeeming your cards, get familiar with judging their value by the following indicators:
By Card
In a regular deck of cards, each individual card holds a different value based on its number or face, and its suit; Gold Cards are no different. Use our Gold Card Odds chart to help determine value.By Year
A sash is displayed on every Gold Card you receive. In fact, when reviewing your collection via the Rewards tab on the Only Poker software, you’ll see game cards for each year series.If you’ve just received a Gold Card, the banner will show 2008. Our 2009 series is due to start hitting the tables in Spring 2009.
Where can I view my Gold Cards?
Gold Cards earned are safely stored within your Only Poker Rewards portfolio. When logged in to Only Poker, you can view your personal Gold Card collection by choosing the ‘Rewards’ tab. We’ll also send you a monthly Only Poker Rewards Statement newsletter that will provide you with your personal Gold Card count.
Do Gold Cards expire?
Collecting Gold Cards is much like collecting any other commodity, such as stamps or trading cards. Older cards may hold more value as the Series roll along, but they never expire.

How do you win?
In each series, we’ll award $52,000 to the player who is first to fill an entire 52 deck series card. As we’re now in Series 09, that means you must complete a full card, and therefore hold a collection with all 52 Series 09 Gold Cards. If the Series ends, and no one has collected a full deck, the Jackpot will be awarded to the player who comes closets to this milestone and holds the most ‘unique set’ of Series 09 Gold Cards.
