That means players are ranked according to the results of their individual games, with the winning player essentially considered as the \u201c<em>stronger<\/em>\u201d player. GGPoker adopts a similar rating system for its Spin &amp; Gold games. <\/p>\n<p>Unlike the typical ranking system for poker where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/blog\/building-a-poker-bankroll-mistakes-to-avoid\">bankroll is a major factor<\/a>, the Spin &amp; Gold ELO system rates a player based purely on their skills and win rate, notwithstanding the size of their bankroll. Meaning, even if you\u2019re a low-stakes player, if you get consistently good results, you\u2019ll receive a higher rank. <\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gcJpj1Pmd5E?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-you-reach-the-grand-master-status\">Can you Reach the Grand Master Status?<\/h2>\n<p>The Spin &amp; Gold ELO system has seven tiers, with the first five marked with letters. <strong>E is the base tier<\/strong> (1,200 Rating), followed by <strong>D<\/strong> (1,500 \u2013 2,000), <strong>C<\/strong> (2,000 \u2013 3,000), <strong>B<\/strong> (3,000 \u2013 4,000), and <strong>A<\/strong> (4,000 \u2013 5,000). Those receiving a rating of 5,000+ are labeled \u201c<em><strong>Master<\/strong><\/em>\u201d, while the \u201c<em><strong>Grand Master<\/strong><\/em>\u201d status is given to the top 100 players on the site.<\/p>\n<p>Each player begins in the E level. As you play and win more games, you\u2019ll get more points and move up the ladder. But keep in mind that the system also takes into account other factors such as the current ratings of your opponents when calculating your skill level. If you win against higher-rated opponents, you\u2019ll receive higher points. If you beat lower-rated players, you\u2019ll get lower points. <\/p>\n<p>If you lose to players with a lower rating than you, you\u2019ll lose more points. That means the number of rating points that you\u2019ll earn or lose in each game will vary at some point. <\/p>\n<p>As per the GGPoker website, there is currently no specific reward whatsoever for any rank reached. Nevertheless, the system encourages competition among players as it gives them an idea about the skill level of their opponents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary: New
