The Ultimate Points that are accumulated in cash games and tournaments can be used for various purposes depending on the player's status level. For instance, Contender status and above can redeem points for cash. "Player" status and above players can use their points in the store at a rate of approximately $0.006 per Ultimate Point. Because players can earn Ultimate Points 5x as fast at the higher level, base Ultimate Points are effectively worth up to $0.03. Points can also be used for tournament entries. See "Raise Rewards Program" and "UltimateBet Points for Cash" for more information.

Clear Rates Disclaimer:
We have generated our clear rates by using Party Poker hand histories, and running them through each site's rake structure. Obviously, game conditions (looseness, aggression, and game speed) will be different from site to site, so these numbers may vary from what is actually experienced. Also, the fact that an hourly rate is listed does not mean a game at that limit is always available.
