As of June 1st 2011, new players are not eligible for rakeback anymore and the new network wide VIP program has been implemented to replace this and favor the active players. Soon we will also see a "blackout" phase for new sign ups from the US, this is a security measure of the network owner to handle the dramatically increased traffic and number of sign ups after April 15th / Black Friday.

Below are the details of this new player rewards program:
The Ace-High VIP Program
Welcome to our all new Ace-High VIP program. A program that is designed to reward your loyalty on
your terms!
The program is simple. As you play poker for real money on our software you are awarded VIP points. To advance through the different levels of the program you need to meet the point requirements for each level. The higher your level, the greater your rewards. Different levels are eligible for different freerolls, and at any time you can use the points you have earned to buy into one of our many daily guaranteed tournaments. Once you reach level 7 you can choose to exchange your points directly for cash, at a more favorable rate the higher your level. It really is that easy. No complex calculations, point multipliers or time-based qualifications. Just play poker, and pick how and when you want to claim your rewards!
VIP Program FAQ
How is my VIP level calculated?
The calculation is total VIP points earned minus total VIP points decayed.
Is it possible to go backwards in the VIP tiers?
Yes it is, but only if you don't play for the Decay Period. If the Decay Period is 60 days, then you must go 60 days without earning a VIP point before the nominated amount of Decay Points will be removed from your VIP balance. Please note that the deduction will only happen once every Decay Period, so if the Decay Period for the level is 60 days then you will only have points decayed once every 60 days.
How does the Exchanges Per Month rule work?
You are allowed to exchange points for cash 3 times per calendar month at each tier you qualify for. That means that if you qualify for the very top tier, you can exchange points for cash 3 times in the calendar month at the top rate, but also 3 times each month at each of the lower rates should you wish to.
If I exchange points for cash will I drop in VIP levels?
No, you will not. You will lose whatever points you exchange from your balance, but the calculation for your VIP tier is based on lifetime points earned minus lifetime points decayed. Spending points does not alter your VIP level in any way.
How do I get into the freerolls at my level?
The VIP program detects if you are eligible for the freeroll automatically and allows you to hit the register button if you meet the requirements.
When do the freerolls run?
The freerolls run on the last Sunday of every month starting at 13:30 Software time. There must be at least 5 players registered for the tournament to start.
