Create an account with us and reply in this thread with your playername. Once approved we will credit your account with 3000 chips (0.3 btc).

Once you accumulate 100 BPL Points, we split whatever is in your account 50/50. You can cashout your share to your bitcoin wallet or you can continue playing stake-free on your own.

There are rules that you must follow:

1. You can not transfer chips to other players.
2. You can not collude with other players to give you or any other player an unfair advantage.
3. You can't dump your chips to other players. Play fairly.
4. You can only play up to 5/10 blinds.

6. You must keep the table chat friendly.

8. You must know how to play poker.
9. You must not mention other poker rooms at BPL.

If you break any of these rules, we will confiscate your funds.
If you do well, we might give you a higher stake for the bigger games.
We will post regular updates for lifetime BPL Points in our FB group. We encourage you to join the group.

Interesting, I am in :)

Thank you :)
Does participation in real buy-in tourneys increase BLP points? Or does it only belong to cash game raking?

Cash game only

The bitcoin deposit and withdrawal system is still under development since most of my players buy and sell chips using local currency. They are not interested in bitcoins or don't have bitcoins. Every chip is valued at 0.0001 bitcoin. 10k chips = 1 bitcoin. Right now deposits and cashouts to bitcoin will be done manually.

You can earn up to 2.5 points per hand. That's the maximum possible. Since the rake/100 will be distributed to all players who contributed to the pot proportionally.

May you post or show each player's acquired BPL points daily or weekly in the software or your web site or at least here?
I am not too much a fan of using facebook.

You can see it even without an account since it's a public fb group. You can read everthing there. (i guess)

If any player has more than 5K chips left after earning 100 BPL Points, he/she will be worthy of a staking agreement for at least 50k to play bigger games.

(after cashing out the 5k chips to his/her bitcoin address, of course :))

I saw Marg play 5/10. That's against the rules.
Don't play higher than 3/6 players.

You can now all play up to 5/10 but not higher.

Any idea on how to cashout the bitcoins?

You need to reach 100 points

And after that?

We split your chips 50/50. I will send your share to your bitcoin address. Or you can continue playing if you like. It's up to you.

Okay, and last question, where can I check whether I'd reached 100 points?

i post it here every now and then

it looks like it is almost impossible to get 100 points to the date: in fact, most players stopped playing ring games, I assume they also think that with rake this high and almost no players on a site it is very hard task. Also, there is no easy way to look how your points grow: I only can see it here if somebody bother to post. I do not want to sight to fb just to see it. Of course if it was the way to see points when checking the balance it would be so much better, but application was not design for this. I think all of this leaded to current situation, where almost nobody plays the ring games, but only freerolls.
Some freerolls locked with the password and no explanation in tournament info why some players can register and why other not. This can make some players angry and frustrated. I was a witness when table observer asked player about freeroll password and the player just laughed, like this is the secret only VIP may know.

I would like to try. jumplove

Well, yes, today i saw one holdem head to head table playing and one or two Omaha table. Unfortunately I prefer holdem only. Probably you been playing Omaha.

One more question: what if I will not make 100 points to the "date", what will happen to my balance? Will just disappear?

Unfortunately, the site is dead. No players, I can not get enough points now. I tried to convince other players to play ring games, not to abuse freerolls, but it did not help. Sure enough the site is bankrupt.
