What Is the Fish Buffet Promotion?
The Fish Buffet is GGPoker’s loyalty program, designed to reward players with up to 60% rakeback based on their gameplay. It consists of 8 levels and 25 ranks in total. Players progress by earning Fish Points (FP) and can spin a prize wheel for cash rewards at each level.
How Does the Fish Buffet Work?
- Players earn Fish Points based on their rake and fee contributions.
- Each level has a set FP requirement and a time limit to meet it.
- Upon meeting the requirement, players unlock a wheel spin with a chance to win cash prizes.
- If the requirement isn’t met in time, players are demoted to the previous level, and accumulated FP expires.
How Do I Earn Fish Points (FP)?
- On average, players earn 100 FP for every $1 paid in rake and tournament fees.
- This rate may vary depending on:
- Game type
- Tournament type
- Player behavior at the tables
- Deposit history
What Is the Rakeback Structure?
- Non-Platinum Ranks: Rakeback is awarded via a wheel spin after each level is completed.
- Platinum Ranks: Offer fixed weekly cashback without wheel spins.
When Is Rakeback Paid Out?
- Platinum Ranks: Every Monday, as fixed rakeback.
- Other Ranks: After completing a level and spinning the wheel, rewards are credited immediately.
How Does the Fish Buffet Prize Wheel Work?
- Each level has a payout range:
- Shrimp: $6 to $30
- Whale: $120 to $1,200
- The wheel spin determines the exact reward within that range.
What Happens If I Don't Earn Enough FP in Time?
- You will be demoted to the previous level.
- All unredeemed FP will expire.
- You will receive 10% cashback for the expired FP.
Examples:
- 30 FP = $0.03
- 300 FP = $0.30
- 3,000 FP = $3.00
What Happens When I Move Up a Rank Within a Level?
- You receive a new full time period to complete the next rank.
Example: If you move from Bronze Shrimp to Silver Shrimp, you will have 15 days to reach Gold Shrimp.
What Are Platinum Ranks?
Platinum Ranks are advanced tiers that:
- Provide weekly fixed rakeback (no wheel spins).
- Are valid for one year, after which FP requirements must be met again.
Platinum Rank Tiers:
- Platinum Fish
- Platinum Octopus
- Platinum Whale
- Platinum Shark
- GGPlatinum
Can I Switch Between Fish Buffet and Platinum Rank?
Yes. You can:
- Switch from Fish Buffet to a lower Platinum Rank:
- Shrimp, Crab, Octopus → Platinum Fish
- Whale → Platinum Octopus
- Switch from Platinum Rank to Fish Buffet at any time.
Note:
- FP will be converted to cash upon switching.
- It may take up to 5 minutes for rewards to appear in your account.
- You cannot switch back to Platinum Rank until the new Bronze rank's time period ends (e.g., 15 days).
Example:
- A Platinum Fish switches to Bronze Shrimp with 10,000 FP → earns $20 in cash, starts at 0 FP.
Can I Climb Platinum Ranks?
Only from Platinum Whale upward:
- Platinum Whale → Platinum Shark: 3,000,000 FP
- Platinum Shark → GGPlatinum: 5,000,000 FP
Important:
You cannot climb to Platinum Rank directly from lower Platinum tiers (e.g., Platinum Octopus).
Example:
- A Platinum Octopus with 3,000,000 FP does not become a Platinum Whale.
- To do so, the player must:
- Leave Platinum Octopus
- Start from Bronze 3 Whale
- Progress through the entire Whale ladder to Gold Whale 1
- Then switch to Platinum Whale
What If I Fail to Maintain My Platinum Rank?
- You must earn a set amount of FP within one year to renew your Platinum Rank.
- Failure to meet this target results in a demotion to the next lowest Platinum Rank.
Example:
- A Platinum Whale must earn 1,500,000 FP per year.
- If not achieved, the player is demoted to Platinum Octopus.
- They will retain this rank for 1 year or can leave Platinum and try to climb back via Fish Buffet.
Are There Any Exceptions or Special Conditions?
- For scheduled downtime, an extra 24 hours will be added to both Fish Buffet and Platinum Rank timelines.
