Earning Gold Cards
Collecting Gold Cards is as easy as taking a seat at any real money ring game.
How do I earn a Gold Card?
Every time the table reaches a pre-determined rake amount a Gold Card is randomly issued to one player at that table. So, while Gold Cards are issued to players of all stakes and levels, higher limit games will be rewarded more frequently.
What is the value of a Gold Card?
Have you ever collected stamps or baseball cards? Think along those lines. While some offer instant value on their own, others may increase in value as your collection grows and time passes. How you use them is the fun part. Before redeeming your cards for a reward 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. The less the odds are of receiving a given card, the more valuable it is likely to be.
By Year
- A sash is displayed on every Gold Card you receive. The older a card is, the more valuable it becomes. You’ll notice that Gold Card Tournaments prize pools and value are better the higher the Gold Card buy-in is. For example, a 2008 King of Clubs Gold Card buy-in event will be much sweeter than a Two of Clubs one.

Do Gold Cards Expire?
Collecting Gold Cards is much like collecting any other commodity, such as stamps or baseball cards. Older cards may hold more value as the Series roll along, but they never expire.
