How do you level up?
Your tier is calculated based on the rake you generate at the club during the calendar month. At the end of each month the tier updates automatically based on accumulated activity. No deposit minimums — only real play activity in tournaments and cash games.
The system counts actual rake, not deposit amounts, so a cash player who doubles their hands-per-hour (e.g. via Rush & Cash) will level up faster than a slower player in the same playtime.
