• Verbally threatening any customer or employee or using profanity or obscene language.
• Making statements that could unfairly influence the action in a game (e.g., telling a player he has made the wrong hand).
• Chatting in any language other than English during game play (trivial exceptions will be made).
• Begging other players for play chips or tournament points.
• Advertising websites or other commercial services.

ADDENDUM

1. CLUB VIP MEMBERSHIP AND SUBSCRIPTION FEE

1) We charge a fee for VIP membership.  VIP members receive certain membership benefits, which may vary from time to time, including, digital assets, access to an on-line magazine, discount coupons, special offers, and Live Chat.  These are benefits that are not available to basic members and visitors to the Site.  VIP members will also have access to play in Club Tournaments and participate in related activities without having to complete mail-in registration. Note, we reserve the right in our sole discretion to substitute, modify or terminate specific member benefits.  Please check “Membership Rewards” for current member benefits. You have no right to a specific member benefit. 

2) There are three (3) VIP membership options, monthly, quarterly and annual.  CLUB VIP MEMBERSHIP FEES ARE PAYABLE IN ADVANCE.   Monthly VIP memberships ARE NOT REFUNDABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR ANY REASON. Prepaid VIP memberships, such as annual, or quarterly memberships may be cancelled and refunds will be issued in a prorated manner on a monthly basis. In order to cancel your membership you must follow the cancellation instructions which are found on the My Account tab on the site.

3) We reserve the right to change the fees or billing methods at any time. Notice of any change will be posted at least thirty (30) days in advance of the change. You are responsible for reviewing the billing requirements to obtain timely notice of such changes. Continued use by you of the Club thirty (30) days after posting of the changes constitutes acceptance of such changes. If you decide to cancel your Club VIP membership, which you can do at anytime up to five (5) days before the next billing period without being billed for the next period, we will not refund any fees accrued to your account before you canceled. In our sole discretion, we allow you a grace period to remain a “conditional VIP member”.  As a conditional VIP member you will have up to six (6) days after expiration of your VIP membership to renew your VIP membership by paying the amount then due.  During the grace period you will be eligible to play in tournaments, but will not be eligible to claim any prizes won if you do not renew your VIP membership during the grace period. 

4) Club VIP members, trial members and alternative means of entry players (see section 5 below) receive 500 Tournament Points when they open an account. If a Club account falls below 500 Tournament Points at 12:01 A.M. Eastern Standard Time on any day, the account will be reset to 500 Tournament Points at that time (the “Standard Tournament Points Allotment”). If the player fails to use the entire balance of the Standard Tournament Points Allotment on a given day, the player shall not be entitled to accumulate Tournament Points in excess of the Standard Tournament Points Allotment (i.e., the reset balance of players with balances of less than 500 Tournament Points will never exceed the Standard Tournament Points Allotment). Club VIP members, trial members and alternative means of entry players (see section 5 below) receive 20,000 Play Chips when they open an account. If a Club account falls below 20,000 Play Chips at 12:01 A.M. Eastern Standard Time on any day, the account will be reset to 20,000 Play Chips at that time (the “Standard Play Chips Allotment”). If the player fails to use the entire balance of the Standard Play Chips Allotment on a given day, the player shall not be entitled to accumulate Play Chips in excess of the Standard Play Chips Allotment (i.e., the reset balance of players with balances of less than 20,000 Play Chips will never exceed the Standard Play Chips Allotment). We reserve the right to modify the amount of Tournament Points and Play Chips awarded including the Standard Tournament Points Allotment and the Standard Play Chips Allotment in our sole and absolute discretion. Tournament Points and Play Chips have no value. 

5) You do not need to become a VIP member to participate in tournaments. Alternative means of tournament entry. OFFLINE, NO-PURCHASE-NECESSARY, METHOD OF ENTRY: As an alternate means of entry into Club tournaments, a player must:

a)      Register as a free player and download and install the Software; and

 

b)      For each period that you want to participate in Club tournaments, each player must send a 3 inch x 5 inch card on which the player has legibly handwritten their Username, First and Last Name, Complete Mailing Address (e.g. Street, City, State, ZIP code), Email Address, and Date of Birth. Each card must be placed in a single separate envelope, and mailed to 1920 Main St., Suite 1150, Irvine, CA 92614. Multiple cards in a single envelope are not acceptable.  If multiple cards are sent in a single envelope only one card chosen in our sole discretion, will be processed.  Kentucky residents may request postage reimbursement by writing "Please reimburse postage" on the 3 inch x 5 inch card. Reimbursement will be in the form of one first-class U.S. Postal Service postage stamp.  No photocopies, reproductions or facsimiles of the 3 inch x 5 inch card are allowed.  The usage of a service to provide the production of the 3 inch x 5 inch card will not be allowed.

 

c)      For each individual registration, the Player will be given a 30-day period of VIP Membership to the Club. The period will begin on the Monday following the day the mail-in entry is processed.

 

d)      Approved mail-in entries will receive Tournament Points and Play Chips in accordance with Section 1.4 above or will have access to any Tournament Points they have accumulated in the past if greater than 500 Tournament Points and any Play Chips they have accumulated in the past if greater than 20,000 Play Chips. Tournament Points and Play Chips accumulated during previous periods will remain with the player's account.

 

e)      We will post a listing of all upcoming tournaments in the game lobby. The game lobby is viewed by accessing the Software and clicking on the tournament game links.

 

f)       We shall not be responsible for late, lost, illegible, incomplete, stolen, misdirected, mutilated or postage-due mail. We will advise you of your eligibility dates by email. The odds of winning any prize will be the same by mail in entry as by online VIP membership in the Club. The odds of qualifying through a qualifying tournament will be the same by mail in entry as by online VIP membership in the Club, and all participants entering through this means will be accorded equal opportunities to participate and win in events held at the Club, and will depend on the number of entrants.
