HOUSE RULES 
HOUSE RULES: Game Cancellation Policy
Cash games:
If a poker hand (real money or play money) is cancelled before the
outcome is decided (e.g. due to a technical failure), each player will
be refunded the exact amount of money he had at the start of the hand
that was cancelled. All betting actions that took place during the
cancelled hand are voided.
All tournaments:
If a tournament is cancelled before it starts, all players who have registered will be refunded their buy-in and fee for that tournament.
If a tournament is cancelled after the tournament has started, but before the outcome has been decided (e.g. due to a technical failure):
-
Players who were already disqualified before cancellation will lose their buy in and entry fees, as usual.
-
For those players still in the tournament at the time of cancellation:
-
After tournament start and before all players are in the prize money:
Those players still in the tournament at the end of the last hand will
receive their buy in and fee for that tournament. Then, they will be
given equal shares of 50% of the entire prize pool (minus refunded
buy-ins), and the remaining 50% will be distributed according to
players' chip count.
-
After tournament start and when all players are in the prize money: All
players will get the next prize to be handed out - for example, if
there are 32 players left when the tournament is cancelled, then
everyone effectively gets the "32nd-place" prize. Then, the remainder
of the prize money will be distributed according to players' chip
count.

HOUSE RULES: Poker Etiquette
We
require all our RedPlanetPoker players to observe proper etiquette. We expect you
to maintain the following behavior:
-
We do not allow promotions
or solicitations for other companies or websites in our Chat.
-
In the case of any offense,
we reserve the right to block the player from chatting and/or playing.

HOUSE RULES: Play-Time Rules
Each player
receives a set period to make his move. This period can vary from table to
table but is normally 5 seconds to make his move in the blind/ante round and
20-30 seconds to make his move in the later betting rounds. If a player does
not react in time, his cards are automatically folded and he is set as ‘sitting
out'. To take part in further games, he must make his intentions known to the
table by clicking on the ‘I am back' button. If a player is disconnected from
the table, he is automatically given an additional time period to act so he can
reconnect and make his move (this is normally set to 20 extra seconds).
top
HOUSE RULES: Disconnect-Protection
Rules
If a player
is disconnected and he does not reconnect before his time to act is over, in
some cases, he can receive a ‘disconnect-protection' and his hand is classed as
‘technically all-in'. When this occurs, the player will not be able to make any
further actions in the game, but his hand will take part in the showdown. The
hand can only win any money bet before the player was ‘technically all-in' and
will not qualify for any money bet after the player was disconnected.
To qualify
for a disconnect-protection, the player must be playing on a limit cash-game
table and have a disconnect-protection available on his account. When a
disconnect-protection is used, it is deducted from his account. A player can
request further disconnect-protections through the client or by emailing
support. However, RedPlanetPoker reserves the right to restrict these as it sees
fit.
top
HOUSE RULES: Split Pots
If two
players have identical winning hands at the showdown, a split pot occurs.
In Texas
Hold'em games, and Omaha
games, if the pot does not split evenly between the players and there is an
‘odd' chip left, the player who made the last bet/raise in the river stage will
receive the odd chip. If there was no bet in the river stage, the odd chip is
awarded to the first player to the left of the dealer.
In Omaha Hi
Lo games where there is both a high and a low winning hand, the pot is split as
evenly as possible between the high and the low. If there is an odd chip, it is
placed in the high portion of the pot. Both pot portions are then split as in Omaha games.
In 7 Card
Stud games, if the pot does not split evenly between the players and there is
an ‘odd' chip left, the player who made the last bet/raise in the game will
receive the odd chip.

per IAT in PokerPoints before cashing out. Please note that these
PokerPoints must be earned after receiving the IAT. This means that
previously-earned PokerPoints will not be counted towards the necessary
10%. For example, if you receive $100, you must first have earned 10
PokerPoints before being allowed to perform a cashout for that amount.
