You have probably downloaded the Practice Chips only version. Please click here to download and install the Real Money version, which includes both Real Money and Practice Chips games.

We apply the following basic rules in such situations at greyhoundpoker: 1. A player leaves a table (no-limit/pot-limit tables only) with an amount of money which is LESS than the minimum buy-in. This player may return to the same table with the minimum buy-in designated for that table. 2. A player leaves a table (no-limit/pot-limit tables only) with an amount of money which is MORE than the minimum buy-in for that table. If the player returns to the same table within 1 hour, he may only return with the amount with which he left the table or more, regardless of what the minimum buy-in for that table is. Here's an example: In no-limit and pot-limit games, if a player leaves a table ($20 minimum buy-in) with $30 and returns within 1 hour, he is obligated to rejoin the table with $30 or more. This requirement is one of the basic poker rules for NL and PL games, and is intended to provide a fair, competitive playing environment for the players.

Rake is a nominal fee, per qualified pot, that the House charges for hosting games. Click here for a detailed breakdown.

You can review your game history while at the table by clicking on the "Current" or "Previous" links in the top right corner of the Table screen. After finishing the hand you also may request a hand history by email.

Yes, of course you can! Just download your software, register at greyhoundpoker and you can start playing at our Practice Chips tables.

Practice Chips have no cash value. They simply allow you to play for free, bringing the game as close to reality as possible without the financial risks and rewards.

You receive 1,000 Practice Chips. If you run out of chips simply click on the "Get more practice chips" button when it appears and you will receive more chips. The maximum amount you can get at one time is 1,000.

Feel free to learn new games, test your strategies without any risk, and simply spend some fun time playing at no cost.

The pop-up window will inform you of the charge, if any, and will present to you the options: OK - to register; CANCEL; and CASHIER, if you need to make a deposit in order to cover the registration fee.

Please restart the program and log in again. Under normal circumstances you will be seated back at your table immediately. Don't forget to push the "I'm back" button.

Refunds are distributed according to our Cancellation Policy, which you can find under Game Cancelation Policy.

Although most of the Freeroll tournaments at greyhoundpoker are completely free to enter, some require you to have earned a certain number of PokerPoints before you are allowed to register. This is how we reward our regular players for their loyalty and support. These tournaments are called "Poker Point Freerolls".

These special Freerolls are organized on request either from our marketing partners or players who have set up their own tournaments. In these cases greyhoundpoker simply provides the playing platform and has no access to the passwords, which are distributed by the independent tournament organizers.

Please log into the greyhoundpoker cardroom and click on Cashier. Your Poker Points will be listed on the right side of the Cashier screen.

You get 1 Poker Point for every 10 cents that you contribute to the rake. For details please see Poker Points.

Some Freeroll tournaments require you to have earned a certain number of Poker Points before you are allowed to register. This is intended to reward our regular players for their loyalty and support. These tournaments are called "Poker Point Freerolls" since no money is required in order to play.

We do offer our players Re-Buys and Add-Ons on some of our multi-player tournaments. This means that you will be able to purchase extra chips during a tournament. A Re-Buy is only available until the first break, or before the first break but only until the number of players still in the tournament has been reduced to the number of paid places PLUS 3. For example: If a particular tournament pays out to 50 places and the number of players in the tournament reaches 53 before the first break, then - from that point forward - Re-Buys are no longer possible. The first Add-On is available during the first break and will be available to all players, regardless of their chip count. Tournaments may allow Re-Buys and Add-Ons, or Re-Buys only. If a tournament allows Re-Buys and/or Add-Ons, this fact will be displayed in the tournament lobby following the tournament name as well as in the information box for each tournament. These details will be displayed upon selecting the tournament.

There may be several reasons for this beyond your and our control. Normally your software should automatically re-connect. If this does not happen, try restarting the program - under most circumstances, you will be immediately reseated back to your table(s). Sometimes other software running on your computer may be preventing the greyhoundpoker software from accessing the Internet - try to avoid downloading files and using file-sharing software while playing at greyhoundpoker. If you can't connect, please contact us.

The two most common reasons for a slow game are: 1. The players on the table are taking a long time to make their moves (perhaps they have a bad connection). 2. Internet connection between our servers and your computer has decelerated for some reason. If the problem persists, please contact us if your Internet Service Provider cannot resolve the matter.

Disconnect Protections are only available for fixed-limit cash-game play and are not available for tournament play or no-limit/pot-limit tables. Each player has one (1) Disconnect Protection available per day with an additional Disconnect Protection available upon request. If you get disconnected during a cash game, miss your turn, and you have a disconnect protection remaining, you will automatically be set as "Technically All-In" and your hand will proceed to the showdown. If you don't have any Disconnect Protections available, your hand will be folded.

Mac users will be able to play using our stunning Flash version of the cardroom. Our downloadable software is currently only compatible with Windows-based operating systems and cannot be run on other operating systems. However, on many Macintosh machines, it is possible to install and run Microsoft Windows, and this can be used to run the greyhoundpoker software.

It is possible that your internet connection or our servers had problems when you were trying to connect. Please try again in a few minutes. If this does not work, please ensure that your firewall is not blocking the greyhoundpoker software. The software requires ports 1111-1120 and ports 11000-14000 to be opened for TCP/IP traffic. Some anti-virus software also includes port-blocking software and you should check the settings if you have any anti-virus software installed. It is also possible that your Internet Service Provider has blocked these ports, for which we would ask you to check directly with your ISP. If you still have problems, our support team will be happy to help you further.

This can happen for the following reasons:
1. The software has not been installed correctly or the download has not been successfully completed. To solve this, uninstall the current greyhoundpoker software, and download and install the latest version.
2. You are trying to run the greyhoundpoker software without proper administrator rights. Log onto your computer as Administrator and try again.
3. greyhoundpoker or the same poker software from another cardroom is running on your computer which will prevent greyhoundpoker from opening.

Any player who wishes to refer friends can get his/her share of the "Invite A Friend" bonus for as many friends as he/she cares to invite to greyhoundpoker. Since the referred player will be receiving the "Invite A Friend" bonus with his/her first deposit, he/she will have the option to go for the Signup bonus once the "Invite A Friend" bonus is awarded. Please keep in mind that these bonuses are only awarded as soon as the player has earned the required number of PokerPoints within the required timeframe following their first deposit, and not before.

Please login and go to "My Account/Bonus". Here you can see which bonuses are active or have succeeded, expired, etc.

We reserve the right to cancel any bonus in case of fraud. A player can also cancel a bonus himself.
