- Players suspected of “soft playing” will not be entitled to any bonuses. iPoker
collusion team has the final word in any such cases.
- The hand ID’s are determined by the number assigned to them by our system, as
they appear on the table (on the top-left corner).

different hand ID’s).
- Winning hands will be published by our cardrooms and their affiliates. Players
who do not agree to this will not be entitled to the bonus.
- If a winning hand has two winners or more, they will divide the sum of the winner
bonus and the participating players bonus.
For example:
- 5 players in micro table
- Winner takes $65
- Participating players split $65 ($13 each)
- Two winners will take $45.5 each - ($65+$13+$13)/2
- All players in hand ID 999,999,901-1,000,000,000 (total of 100 hands) will
participate in a special freeroll, with a $10,000 prize pool. The freeroll will take
place at least 7 full days after the billionth hand is dealt, as per an announcement
from iPoker.
- The billionth hand winner will have a $2,500 “bounty” over his head in this
tournament. In order for him to participate he must agree to have his nickname
changed for the duration of the freeroll (in order to accommodate an indication of
the bounty). Any player who eliminates the bounty player (wins the all-in which
eliminates the bounty player) will win the bounty
- If the bounty player wins the freeroll, he will be entitled to the $2,500 bounty.
- In case of a split pot on the billionth hand, the bounty will be divided between all
the hand winners.
- Winners of “Jackpot Hand” bonuses will be entitled to ECOOP II entry tickets, as
per the above table. Winner of the “Billionth Hand” will be entitled to entries to
all ECOOP II events (except for the MVP freeroll). In case of a split pot, the
winner sitting on the dealer button (or closest to it) will be entitled to the entry
tickets.
- All decisions as made by iPoker are final
