- Players have 30 days to accept the Golden Chips before they are removed from their account.
- A qualifying win is calculated as total win (win + stake of the winning bet) across all seats divided by total bet across all seats taken by a player.
- If a player receives a win (win + stake of the winning bet) within one (1) game round that is exactly equal to one time (1x) of the total Qualifying Bet, the game round will not be considered for the score calculation or considered a win.

- The above calculation is used to account for side bets, splits, double downs and pushes also.
- If a player has a consecutive win streak and receives a win (win + stake of the winning bet) equal to one time (1x) of the total Qualifying Bet, the Consecutive Qualifying Wins (as defined below) streak will be broken and the player will earn points equal to that streak.

- If a player fails to have a qualifying win, their streak resets and they will earn points relevant to their highest consecutive win streak before that loss.
