$60,000 Points Race

The race for big money starts with our big $60k monthly Points Race. Just keep playing poker at DSI Poker during the month of May and you’ll automatically be a part of it. As you play in real money Ring Games and tournaments, you’ll collect points toward our leader board. The more points you collect, the higher you’ll climb up our leaderboard. At the end of the month, we’ll freeze the leaderboard and award players with cash based on their rank.

Your earn points toward our leader board, while you play and generate rake in real money Ring Games and tournaments, players have to contribute directly into the rake of each pot you play in.

This way you will earn leaderboard points based on your contribution to the rake of each hand.

• Players earn 1.25 points for every $1 contributed to the rake.
• For tournaments players earn 1.25 points for each $1 of tourney fees paid.

Example:

At a 9-handed full ring table, everybody folds except for 3 players (A, B and C) who see the flop, each paying $10 pre-flop.

Player A goes all-in on the flop for another $35. B folds and C calls the $35.
The total pot size is now $100. At the end of the hand $3 rake gets taken from the pot.

So, at the end of the hand, here is how the rake will be determined: Player C, who put in $10 and folded on the flop, would be credited with $0.30 (10% of $3), while the other two would be credited with $1.35 each (45% of $3).

There’s 275 big monthly winners. First place gets $8,000.

New Player Points System

With the introduction of a new points structure, we needed to embrace a new ratio for earning points. In order to do this, your existing points balance needed to be adjusted. In the old system, you earned points at a rate of 100 FPPs for every $1 generated in rake. In the new system points are earned at 5.5 points for every $1 rake, using the dealt rake methodology.

Example:

If you have 1,500 FPPs in the old system, they will be converted into a total of 82.50 Player Points.

Earning Points

In Poker tournaments, you will earn 5.5 Player Points for each $1 USD paid in tournament fees. For example, let’s say you are playing an online poker tournament that costs $10+1 to get into. $10 goes to the prize pool and $1 is the entry fee. The $10 in the tournament does not count for calculating your Player Points. For tournaments, we only look at the fee associated with the buy-in. In this example, that is $1, and as you are awarded 5.5 PPs for every $1 in fees paid, you will earn 5.5 PPs.

What if the buy-in is less than $1? Don’t worry. You will earn fractional PPs, too. For example, in a real-money SnG with a $5+0.50 buy-in, you will earn 2.75 BPs (5.5 / 2 = 2.75 PPs).

In Poker cash games, you will earn Player Points for the rake taken from each hand. Best of all, we use the Dealt Rake methodology to calculate your points. That means everyone dealt into the hand shares equal credit for the rake. It makes no difference if they play the hand or not.

Player Points are awarded at a rate of 5.5 PPs for each $1 in rake collected. The total number of PPs is divided evenly among all hand participants. So if nine players get a total of $3 in rake, 16.5 PPs are then divided among the nine players. That is 1.83 PPs earned per player (16.5/9 = 1.83 PPs).

Bad Beat promotion

Bad Beat promotion

In DSI Poker, if you get a bad beat? you win!!! We're laughing in the face of misfortune by paying DSI Poker players for losing at poker. All you have to do is sit down at a Bad Beat Jackpot table. If you lose a hand of Texas Hold'em with four eights or better, you'll hit the Bad Beat Jackpot and win big just by losing!

What is a Bad Beat?

A bad beat is when you lose a hand that, statistically, you really should have won. For example if you're holding quad tens and someone else happens to hit quad jacks or anything better, that's a bad beat. If you've ever played poker online or at a casino, you've probably been dealt a bad beat or have witnessed one firsthand.

Qualifying Bad Beat Jackpot Hands

• The bad beat jackpot is awarded when quad 8's or better gets beaten
• Both Cards in the players hand must play in order to be eligible for the jackpot

Payout Structure

• 30% goes to the loser of the hand
• 20% to the winner of the hand
• 10% is divided amongst the other players at the table
• 30% goes to the reseed of the next jackpot
• 10% of the gross jackpot goes to the house

In order to qualify for a percentage of the table payout split the players sitting at the table must have played one hand where a contribution to the BBJP was made.

Tables and Percentage Breakdown

Terms and Conditions:

Not every table qualifies for the Bad Beat Jackpot. The bad beat jackpot tables will have (BBJ) printed clearly at the top when you open the table.

There must be a minimum of four or more players dealt in the hand and a rake must be collected in order to qualify for the Bad Beat Jackpot.

In order to qualify the losing hand must contain four eights (8888) or better.

Players that do not participate and are sitting out of the hand will not qualify for the bad beat jackpot.

The winner and loser of the hand must utilize both hole cards in order to qualify.

The hand must be showed down after the river card is dealt in order to qualify.

In the event that more than two hands qualify for the BBJ in one hand, the jackpot will be awarded to the two highest hands at showdown. The highest hand shown down will be considered the winner and the second highest hand will be considered the loser.

If the bad beat jackpot is hit simultaneously at two separate tables, the jackpot will be awarded to the hand that began first according to our server game time.

Any collusion at the tables will result in automatic disqualification from the bad beat jackpots. Players must make their own decisions without influence from chat or other players. Chat will be reviewed after every jackpot is qualified.

The Bad Beat Jackpot accumulates from a portion of the fee from the pot of each raked hand that is raked hand detailed in the chart above.

DSI Poker reserves the right to alter these terms and conditions at any time.

Re-Entry Tournaments

Have you been smacked out of a table in the first hand of a tournament you’ve been waiting all week for? It’s time to recharge, re-energize and re-enter the tourney— and play like nothing ever happened.

Introducing Re-Entry Tournaments, a new type of tournament that lets you re-register for the same tournament after you’ve busted out for another chance at taking down the event.

The Re-Entry Tournament allows players who get eliminated from the tournament to buy back as a new player while late registration is still open.

Players can re-enter as many times as they like into a tournament, so long as the tournament is still in Late Registration. Players will be able to re-enter for the same cost as the initial buy-in (with the exception of re-entry freerolls).

How it works

Every tournament that has the Re-entry option available will have an icon next to its name in the tournament board

When you get knocked out of a tourney, a window will display giving you your placement in the tournament and the option to re-enter the tournament. At this point you have two options:

• Leave the tourney: this option will close the window and you will be able to register for another tournament or ring game. However if a few minutes later you change your mind, and decide that you want to go back to the tournament you can! Providing the late registration period is still open, you can Re-enter.
• Re-Enter: As soon as you click this option, the Buy-in amount will be debited from your account, and you’ll be seated at a brand new table with a brand new starting chip stack giving a fresh start!

Please keep in mind that you can re-enter a tournament as many times as you like, as long as the tournament is still within the late registration period, and as long as you’ve busted out of the tournament.

Re-Entry Tournament types

Currently three types of tournaments are available with this new feature at DSI Poker:

• Re-entry Freerolls: The Re-entry Freerolls use a special freebuy format. The Buy-in for these tournaments is free; however you will be able to re-entry, as many times as you want, during Late Registration for a small real money amount. The prize pool will increase after the original Prize amount is covered.

• Re-Entry Satellites: in these tournaments you will be able to buy back into the tournament for the same Buy-in amount, boosting the prize pool each time and giving you more chances to advance to the next round.

• Re-Entry Guarantees: this feature is available in Guaranteed Tournaments that only pay the final table. You can re-entry, as many times as you want, during Late Registration, and once there are more entrants than necessary to meet the guaranteed prize pool amount, then the prize pool will be even bigger than what the guarantee is set at.

How to Play Re-Entry Tournaments

• Just look for the Re-Entry icon in the tournament lobby.
• Once you’ve located the tourney you want to take down, register for it.
• Play like a champion, just like you would in any tournament.
• If you bust out during the registration period, you’ll be asked if you’d like to re-enter the tourney. If you choose yes, the Buy-in amount will be debited from your account and you’ll be seated at a new table in the exact same tournament.

Tournament Rules

The following rules are applicable to all of the tournaments in DSI Poker.

DSI Poker provides a safe and secure environment for its players. Please review the below rules in order to familiarize yourself with correct conduct throughout tournament play.

• DSI Poker will review all unusual circumstances that may arise on occasion during tournament play. Should these circumstances arise, DSI Poker will objectively review all factors to come to a decision to best resolve any issues and find the most just resolution for all parties involved.
• Tournaments will begin at the scheduled times displayed in the “tournament lobby.” DSI Poker reserves the right to cancel or delay a scheduled without notice.
• The details of every tournament including duration of levels and blind structures, will be displayed prominently in the tournament lobby. DSI Poker reserves the right to change these details at any time without notice.
• In no-limit tournaments there is no restriction on the number of raises allowed. In our fixed limit tournaments, the amount of raises is capped at 3.
• Each player is randomly assigned his or her seat. DSI Poker does not permit players to change seats during a tournament. All tournaments will begin with the button being placed at seat one.
• The prize payouts will be determined once all the rebuys, add-ons or re-entries have been completed and registration is closed. Prize pools may vary pending on number of entrants and rebuys.
• In order to register for any tournament or pay rebuys, add-ons or re-entries, the player must have the funds accessible in the account. Funds that are currently in play do not count as available monies.
• Players can re-enter as many times as they like into a tournament (if the tournament has the Re-entry option available), so long as the tournament is still in Late Registration. Players will be able to re-enter for the same cost as the initial buy-in (with the exception of re-entry freerolls). The Re-Entry feature is available in all Freezeout Tournaments.
• The use of multiple accounts for one person is not allowed and will not be tolerated.
• Registration-Players may unregister for a tournament for a full refund of his or her money any time prior to the beginning of the tournaments. Once the tournament has begun players may not receive a refund on their buy-in. Tournament entries won in satellites may not be redeemed for cash and hold no cash value.
• Tournaments conclude once one player accumulates all the chips in the tournament. In the result that 2 or more players are eliminated in one hand the player with the most chips prior to the hand being dealt will be awarded the higher finishing spot. In the result of a tie as both players had the exact same amount of chips, the players tie for that rank and equally distribute the prize pool.
• At a time when there is a significant increase in the prize pool DSI Poker will go “hand for hand”. This allows every table to complete hands at the same time in order to fairly determine the finishing order. Two players at different tables that are eliminated simultaneously will be considered to be knocked out at the same time. The finishing order will then be determined relative to their chip count prior to the hand. *(see rule 11.)
• No player will receive the button twice in a row. In circumstances in which players are eliminated in the blinds the button will continue to move in a clockwise position. As all players have the opportunity to be spared a blind when this occurs, it’s an equal opportunity proposition for all players.
• When players are playing heads up at the final table, the small blind will be in the position of the dealer.
• As players are eliminated throughout the tournament tables will break and players will be reseated. This reseating is completely random. On occasion players may be reseated in a blind they had just paid, but our software tries to relocate players in seat positions similar to those that he or she was previously seated.
• Players will receive breaks throughout all of the various tournaments. Please see the tournament lobby prior to playing in order to see when each scheduled break may happen. As breaks begin once all play has been concluded at every table of the tournaments, some breaks may last slightly longer than others due to an extended period of time to make a decision from a player.
• Upon entering a tournament players must assume the risk of internet issues and disconnection. DSI Poker accepts no responsibility for lost monies due to internet issues the player may have. Should a player become disconnected he or she will still be receiving cards, and paying blinds and antes. Players may voluntarily sit out during a tournament, but they will also continue to receive cards and pay the necessary blinds and antes.
• There may be no discussion of a hand or hand possibility while the hand is in play. Any of discussion of play will result in a penalty or automatic expulsion of the tournament and possibly DSI Poker permanently.
• Players caught in collusion such as chip dumping, soft play, or unethical chat will be banned from the tournament and his or her account (s) will be banned from playing on DSI Poker. DSI Poker reserves the right to withhold any funds in a cheaters account in order to reimburse the players who have been cheated.
• Players may not hand off the tournament to another player unless it is due to an internet failure and is done while making arrangements to get back online.
• In the unlikely event that DSI Poker experiences a server crash. The hands and chip counts will be restored to what was dealt previous to the crash. Should the tournament need to be cancelled, players will receive funds based upon chip counts at the time of the crash.
• The cash prize awarded in bounty tournaments will be placed in the account of the player who eliminated the bounty at the end of the tournament. Players may not work together to eliminate a bounty player as this is considered collusion (see rule 18.) If a bounty is unable to show up to play the tournament, no bounty cash prize will be awarded for his or her elimination.

Should any dispute or situation arise, all decisions made by DSI Poker management are final.
