How do I earn a Gold Card?
When playing at any real money ring game, you're eligible to receive a Gold Card. As there are no minimum requirements necessary to earn a Gold Card, you may receive one on your first hand, even if you fold!
Every time the table reaches a pre determined rake amount, a Gold Card is released. Therefore, while they do fall at all stakes and levels of games, you'll see them more frequently at the higher limits.
What is the value of a Gold Card?
Ever collected stamps or hockey cards? Think along those lines when earning Gold Cards. While some will hold instant value on their own, others may increase in value as your collection grows and time passes. How you play them, is the fun part. Before redeeming your cards, 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.
By Year
A sash is displayed on every Gold Card you receive. In fact, when reviewing your collection via the Rewards tab on the Cake Poker software, you'll see game cards for each year series.
If you've just received a Gold Card, the banner will show 2009.
Where can I view my Gold Cards?
Gold Cards earned are safely stored within your Cake Poker Rewards portfolio. When logged in to Cake Poker, you can view your personal Gold Card collection by choosing the 'Rewards' tab. We'll also send you a monthly Cake Rewards Statement newsletter that will provide you with your personal Gold Card count.
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.
