How to Earn Merit Points
When playing a cash table, Merit Points are earned according to how much you have contributed to the total pot - this is known as the “rake” amount. In a tournament situation, points are determined by the amount you have paid in fees. The points are awarded at a rate of 15 per €1 paid via the rake or in tournament fees. The rake limit is €2.50 per player in a single hand on cash tables. This means that a maximum of 37.5 points can be earned in each hand. However, there is no limit to how many points may be accumulated in a tournament.
