Gold Chips are available for all players and are earned based on the number of frequent player points you earn in the games. These chips can be used for entry into exclusive freerolls and tournaments as well as to purchase items from the Cake Poker online store. The Gold Cards is a totally separate part of the program and is only available for ring game players. Gold Cards are awarded based on the rake from each table and as the rake grows, the random number generator will select a player and a card from the Gold Card Vault. Each card has a cash value based on how common that particular card is in a series. These cards can be redeemed for tournaments, cashed in during the daily lottery program or collected as a set for a jackpot prize of $52,000.
