PokerMaster Accounting - Your Real Money Balance

 

Since PokerMaster was designed a play money app, it lacks several features that most of the real money poker networks clients or websites offers and one of them is the cashier. PokerMaster does not offer the standard built in cashier feature and the accounting is done by the people who run the clubs and by the agents.

For you, the player, this means you can't see how much money you have in your PokerMaster account, and your current balance is recorded on the daily reports we provide. You can also keep the record as well, by checking the outcomes of your sessions, which are provided by PokerMaster app in the Results section of your account.

 

PokerMaster Coins and Gems

 

Though, you will notice that in the "ME" tab of your PokerMaster account, below your Blue Card, there is a section called "Store" which shows the number of Gems 💎 and Coins 💰.

 

Gems are used for accessing the timebank, which in case of PokerMaster is not free. You need to buy Gems from your agent and you will use a fraction of them each time you want to have more time for your decisions at the tables. Using the timebank several times in the same hand implies higher costs compared to the first use.

 

Coins have different purposes:

 

♠ Real Money

- When you seat at a table, you will use a fraction of these coins as buyin, calculated at a rate of 1 coin = 1 CNY; for example, when you seat a table with 10000 CNY, the same amount of coins, 10000, will be deducted from your coins balance.

- When you close the table, an amount of coins equivalent to your CNY balance from the specific table, will be added to your coins balance; for example, if you sit out from a table with 15000 CNY, the same amount of coins, 15000, will be added to your coins balance.

 

♠ Table Fee

- When you seat at a table, the app charges you an amount of coins equal to 10% of the buyin; for example, when you seat at a 5/10 table with 1000CNY, you will be charged 100CNY as a table fee. This amount will be deducted from your coins balance and will never be returned. This does not influence your real money CNY balance!

 

♠ Items Purchase and In Game Spendings

- Coins can be used for purchasing items within the PokerMaster app and during the games, you can use your some of your coins for offering gifts or for throwing things at your opponents, at different costs which are specified in the app. This does not influence your real money CNY balance!


PokerMaster Traffic and Games Overview

Because of the clubs structure PokerMaster has and being an underground Asian Poker network, its traffic can't be exactly measured, but it is among the top ranked online poker networks, having more than 200 clubs you can join.

PokerMaster is a very good option for mid and high stakes NLHE and PLO players, this room being one of the few places where you can play onilne high stakes games.

 

Poker Types in PokerMaster

In PokerMaster you can play the following types of poker:

- Holdem (NLH)

- Omaha (PLO)

- Open Face Chinese Poker (POFC)

- Short Deck

 

POFC is a Chinese Poker variant, played with 52 cards, where players are initially dealt 5 cards and then receive one card at a time, until each of them has a 13 card hand. The goal is to get more points than the opponents, by winning more rows or by earning royalties, but without fouling.

Short Deck Poker, also known as 6 plus Holdem, is a Texas Holdem variant, played with a shorter deck, cards from 2 to 5 being removed, having the same rules for betting, playing the hand and showdown like in standard Holdem.

 

Table Types in PokerMaster

Besides the standard tables we are used to, in PokerMaster you can join the following kind of tables:

- Straddle : these 3 blinds tables; for example in a 5/10 straddle, blinds are 5 / 10 / 20 CNY

- Ante : these are tables where antes are charged

- Deep : these are tables where you can sit with larger stacks, up to 400 big blinds

 

Game Levels in PokerMaster

Traffic and games vary a lot depending on the club. There are clubs where you'll find NLHE or PLO only, but there are others which host tables for all kind of games.

All games are played in Chinese Yuans (CNY).

The lowest stakes offered by PokerMaster are CNY2/CNY4 (€0.25/€0.50) while the highest are CNY1000/CNY2000 (€125/€250). Usually, decent traffic can be found up to CNY100/CNY200 in case of both NLHE and PLO, but, as mentioned before, this depends on the club you are playing in.


PokerMaster Rake Structure

PokerMaster does not work like standard poker rooms and they are not charging any rake from the pots.

But, they are charging players 5% of the profits made in each winning session.

- Example: if you joined a table with 10000 CNY and you leave that table with 30000 CNY, you will pay 5% commission on the profits, meaning 1000 CNY, so your net profit will be 19000 CNY.

Losing sessions are not charged.

- Example, if you sit at a table with 10000 CNY and you leave it with 5000 CNY, you won't pay any commission.

PokerMaster Review

PokerMaster is the best known and relatively recently launched Chinese Poker App, marking a new trend in online poker, started in 2017. Asian Poker represents a welcome boost in a poker market which has been in downtrend since 2013, because of the more and more restrictive regulation.

As you probably know, China has restrictions in several areas compared to Europe and America and online poker is one of them, this game being forbidden in this country.

Though, given the increasing appetite of Chinese people for this game, an opportunity arised : using play money apps and assigning the accounting part to the agents, the foundations of a new Asian Poker network have been laid.
