RiverlineEvery amount on this page is in US dollars, which is what your balance is held in. The cashier moves money as USDC on Polygon and credits it in dollars; send only the currency and network the cashier shows.
Two words used throughout:
- Contributed rake is your share of the rake taken from a pot, in proportion to the money you put into that pot. Tournament fees are not rake and never count. Play-money tables take no rake and never count.
- A raked hand is a real-money cash hand you were dealt into at $0.05/$0.10 or above in which rake was actually taken. A hand that ends before the flop takes no rake ("no flop, no drop") and does not count, which is deliberate: folding to churn hand counts earns nothing.
Daily rakeback: 20%
Every day, at your room's day start, 20% of the rake you contributed during the previous day (midnight to midnight, Eastern time) is credited to your balance. Bonus Center shows the hour your room uses. Fractions below $0.01 carry forward to the next day.
All times on this page, and everywhere on Riverline, are Eastern time (New York). The clock follows New York's daylight-saving changes.
No tiers, no monthly reset and no demotion: the same 20% at every stake and every volume.
What does not count: tournament fees, play money, and rake from hands played only against accounts linked to yours (same device, address, payment method or wallet). Linked accounts are treated as one account everywhere on this page.
Welcome offer: choose one
Both offers need a first real-money deposit of at least $10 within 60 days of registering, an email address you have confirmed, and one account per person. You choose A or B at the cashier when you make that deposit; the choice is final.
A. 100% deposit match, up to $600
We match your first deposit one-for-one, up to $600. The match sits in a locked bonus balance that you cannot play with or withdraw. It moves to your real balance $1 for every $5 of rake you contribute, in whole dollars, for 90 days from the deposit. Whatever has not been released by then expires. Released money is yours to keep and withdraw; a withdrawal before the match is fully released forfeits the unreleased part only.
A fully released $600 match means you contributed $3,000 of rake. With daily rakeback on top, $1,200 of that $3,000 comes back to you.
B. $66 in tournament tickets over six days
Tickets arrive each day at your room's day start and each is valid for 24 hours. A ticket is an entry, not cash: what you win with it is real and withdrawable, what you do not use expires.
| Day | Tickets | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 × Step 1 satellite ticket ($2 each), 8 × all-in-or-fold ticket ($1 each) | $16 |
| 2–5, each day | 2 × Step 2 satellite ticket ($3 each), 4 × all-in-or-fold ticket ($1 each) | $10 |
| 6 | 1 × Step 3 satellite ticket ($10) | $10 |
Six days, $66 of tickets in total. They cannot be transferred, sold or converted to cash, and an account may hold one welcome ticket series in its lifetime.
Table starter cashback: 25%
Short-handed hands are how a table fills. When you are one of three or fewer players dealt into a raked hand at $0.10/$0.25 or above, the rake you contributed in that hand earns 25% rakeback instead of 20%.
Limits, so that two friends cannot farm it: the extra 5% is capped at $20 per account per day, and it is not paid on hands where every other player at the table is an account linked to yours.
Weekly leaderboards
Cash, fast-fold and Sit & Go leaderboards run from Monday 12:00 AM ET to Sunday 11:59 PM ET, by stake band. Prize pools are published on the leaderboard page each Monday before the week starts, and are funded by the platform, never from rake already counted toward your rakeback.
Points are contributed rake in dollars × 100, not hands played, so there is no reward for fast-folding through a thousand hands. To be placed you need at least 200 raked hands in the week. The top 20 in each band are paid; ties share the places they tie for.
Freerolls
Sunday freeroll, $1,000, 2:00 PM ET. You would qualify if, in the seven days ending Saturday 11:59 PM ET, you played at least 50 raked hands at $0.05/$0.10 or above, or paid at least $5 in tournament fees. The $1,000 would be guaranteed when at least 100 accounts qualify; with fewer, the pool would be $10 per qualified account, announced when registration opens on Sunday at 8:00 AM ET. One entry per account; no re-entry.
Daily newcomer freeroll, $50, 4:00 PM ET. For accounts in the 30 days after their first real-money deposit of $10 or more. One entry per account per day. The pool would be $50 when at least 10 accounts enter, and $5 per entrant below that.
No freeroll is scheduled yet. Neither of these events exists in the lobby today, and neither will until it is listed there with a start time.
Freeroll winnings are real money and withdrawable. Accounts linked to each other share one entry between them.
Referral
Share your link. When a friend registers through it, deposits at least $10, and contributes $100 of rake within 90 days of registering, you each receive $20, credited the next morning with the rakeback.
There is no cap on how many friends you refer. Referrals are paid only for accounts that are not linked to yours; self-referral and referral rings forfeit both sides' rewards, and the accounts involved lose every pending reward on this page.
The milestone is $100 of rake because that is the point at which the reward is paid out of rake already taken rather than out of a forecast.
Play-money rewards
Play-money leaderboards run on the same weekly schedule and pay in play chips and tickets to play-chip freerolls. Play chips never convert to money, and nothing earned with play chips counts toward any real-money offer.
The rules behind the numbers
- One account per person. Accounts that share a device, address, payment method or wallet are linked and treated as one for every offer here.
- Real-money offers need a confirmed email address and a first deposit of at least $10.
- Bonuses release only from rake contributed at real-money cash tables. Rake from hands played only against linked accounts, and any hand the integrity team finds to be chip dumping or collusion, is excluded.
- A withdrawal while a welcome match is unreleased forfeits the unreleased portion; released money is never touched.
- Rakeback, cashback and leaderboard points are counted from the ledger, and every payment is listed with the hands behind it.
- Campaign terms are versioned. The version in force when you opted in is the one that applies to you and is shown in your Bonus Center. Changes are announced on this page seven days before they take effect and never apply to a running week or an unreleased match, except as in the next rule.
- Where a campaign is being abused, contains an obvious error, or must change for a legal or regulatory reason, we may cancel, suspend or amend it, or void bonus value granted under it, immediately and including in a running week, as Terms of Service 9.5 provides. The seven days' notice applies to every other change.
- Abuse means play arranged to obtain a reward rather than to play poker, including multi-accounting, play between linked accounts, chip dumping, soft play or opposite bets that take no real risk, bonus rings, freeroll farming, and using an error or loophole in an offer. Abuse forfeits rewards under the Fair Play policy and can close the account.
- The 7-2 game is a table-side transfer between players and is not a promotion.
