Tracking / My Account Area

Too many usernames and passwords these days. We understand.

Try using the password reset button in the login panel. If this fails then just contact us through site chat and we will get your password reset in no time!

Remember: Users can sign into PokerVIP using Facebook or Google.

We rely on rake stats from the poker rooms we work with. Once we receive these stats we upload them to our database at PokerVIP.

The stats displayed in the My Account area do not influence loyalty or rakeback payments made by the poker room and should only be treated as a guide.

Please Note: Stats in the My Account area are typically not updated during weekends.

PokerVIP users can track their rake by adding their screename / alias to the PokerVIP My Account area.

Simply click on My Account and select 'Add Poker Room'.

The data that needs to be added depends on on the poker room you are playing at. Users at PaddyPowerPoker need to add their alias whereas users at William Hill are required to add their WH Account Number. Further details can be found in the My Account area.

If your name is not displayed on the rake race leaderboard and you think it should be, perform the following checks:

  1. Check when the leaderboard was last updated. If you did not rake enough to appear on the leaderboard by the time it was last updated, this is likely the reason your name is not appearing.
  2. Check your account is tracked. This can be checked by going into the PokerVIP, My Account are or by contacting the room directly and confirming.
  3. There is at least a 24 hour lag from when you generated rake at the tables and this rake showing up in the leaderboard.
  4. See if your PokerVIP account username is being displayed as opposed to your poker room screen name. Poker room screen names are displayed with every other character being replaced by a *. Example if my screen name is PokerVIP it will display on the leaderboard as P*k*R*I*
  5. If the above three steps are inconclusive, get in touch with our live chat, your agent or get in touch through our contact form.

All Other Stuff VIP

PokerVIP is an online poker resource for poker players who are truly serious about poker. This doesn't mean you need to be a high stakes crusher or a rake machine.  

If you're committed to getting better at poker and want to enjoy the best the poker world has to offer, you have come to the right place.

Learn more about PokerVIP.

We can continue to run this service for poker players thanks to our poker room partners who pay us commission in return for generating business for their brands.

We are committed to providing a high quality service for our users and will always give impartial advice.

Support PokerVIP and get full access to our videos, store and school by playing poker with one of our partner poker rooms.

After sendings tens of thousands of online poker players to poker rooms for a number of years, we understand what makes a good poker room.  

We have never worked with a poker room that has subsequently gone bust or taken players funds. As far as we know, we're the only major poker site on the net with this untarnished record! 

As a general rule, we only work with poker rooms that have been established for a considerable period of time. We also like sports books and casino brands with a poker product. Historically, these brands have proven to be the most reliable.

To access coaching videos you need to sign up to one of our exclusive poker deals. Once you have signed up simply add your alias at the poker room to your My Account area. Users typically have full access to PokerVIP 24 hours after adding their alias.

We love feedback. Let us know on site chat, Skype (Support.PokerVIP) or email (Hello@PokerVIP.com) and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

For PVIP users to get PM privileges or be able to start a thread, users must first make 10 posts on the PVIP forum.

Unfortunately it's not very likely we can do anything about this, but get in touch on site chat, Skype (Support.PokerVIP) or email (Hello@PokerVIP.com) and we will see what we can do. 

Most poker rooms we offer are on poker networks. Take a look at our poker offers and it might be worth signing up for another poker room on the network.

We're always looking for talented individuals to join our team.

Our offices are based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Unfortunately, we're not able to hire those who are not based in Edinburgh or willing to re-locate.

However, if you're interested in creating content for one of our sites on a freelance basis, get in touch with Stewart via email at Stewart@PokerVIP.com.

All applications for general employment in Edinburgh should be sent to Hello@PokerVIP.Com

Often players ask us if we plan on running the same Rake Race for a certain poker room, the following month.

Almost always the answer is yes.

We are committed to growing the Rake Races and promotions with our key partner poker rooms.

However, please note that we cannot absolutely guarantee we will run our promotions indefinitely. Most poker rooms are members of 'poker networks' whose job it is to regulate the network and create a framework that the poker rooms on the network must adhear to. Thus, it is possible that network's opt to ban rake races in the future and as such we would not be permitted to continue running them.

In the above instance we would aim to compensate our users with a variety of other promotions.

PokerVIP users can refer their friends in two ways:

A) Send your friend / your referral ink via Skype, email or any other platform. This unique link will track your mate to you and make you eligible for referral payments. Your referral link can be found here, by logging into your PokerVIP account and selecting the deal you want to promote. 

B) Contact Affiliates.PokerVIP on Skype or send a email to Affiliates@PokerVIP.com.
