How To Play

Rules x

Applies only to Rewind/Live games

  1. Game Entry Fees - Contestants can enter $5, $10, $25, $50 and $100 Hold 'Em games. Funds are withdrawn upon entry, but players who fold do not pay the full amount. Players who fold have a portion of their entry fee added back to their account once the teams have been determined for the contest. The following table displays the dollar amount it costs to see the cards for a given stage of the contest:
  2. *REQUIRED to start game
    Breakdown of Cost
    Entry Fee See Hole Cards* See Flop See Turn See River Go for Pot Win
    $5 $1 $1 $1 $1 $1
    $10 $2 $2 $2 $2 $2
    $25 $5 $5 $5 $5 $5
    $50 $10 $10 $10 $10 $10
    $100 $20 $20 $20 $20 $20
  3. Experience Level of Players - Player nameplates are color coded to identify the experience level of each participant in a game. A GREEN nameplate identifies someone who has played in less than 100 total Spoker games, a BLUE nameplate identifies someone who has played in between 100 and 999 total Spoker games and a BLACK nameplate identifies someone who has played in at least 1,000 total Spoker games. Games played in the PRACTICE lobby do NOT count towards these totals.
  4. Beginner Games - Some Spoker games only permit beginning players in them. These games are labed "BEG" in the game lobby. A beginning player is defined as anyone who has played less than 100 times of any game type. For example, GREED is a particular game type. 1/6 of the Spoker games are only open to beginning players.
  5. Winning Position - Only the top finisher is paid. If 2 or more people tie for the top position, they will split the pot.
Back To Top Close Rules
  1. Pick a Sport - There are six sports to choose from: baseball, basketball, golf, football, EPL soccer, and hockey.
  2. Object of the Game - Contestants play a one round Hold 'Em format with the goal of trying to accumulate the highest 5 card fantasy point total. At the same time, they also try to secure as many bonus points as possible.
  3. Starting the Game - Contestants are each dealt two hole cards from the deck. The two pocket (or hole) cards are only known to the player who receives them. They can either "fold" or "play on" after viewing these cards. Five additional cards are dealt and placed face down in the middle of the table. Once they are revealed, ALL players who have not folded can play off of them to improve their hand.
  4. Pot - Only players who don't fold are eligible to win the pot. The player with the highest scoring hand receives the money in the pot.
  5. Keyboard Hotkeys - Contestants can press "A" on their keyboard to play on and "F" to fold. When SELECTING athletes, contestants can press the number on the keyboard that corresponds to the number on the athlete card to select them.
  6. Folding - Players can either fold or play on at four different junctures in the game. If a player folds immediately after seeing their hole cards 80% of their entry fee remains in their account and the other 20% goes towards the pot. If a player folds immediately after seeing the 3-card flop, 60% of their entry fee remains in their account and the other 40% goes towards the pot. If a player folds immediately after seeing the turn card, 40% of their entry fee remains in their account and the other 60% goes towards the pot. If a player folds immediately after seeing the river card, 20% of their entry fee remains in their account and the other 80% goes towards the pot.
  7. Rake Fee - The rake fee is 6.7% per game (Excluding Practice games).
Back To Top Close Rules
  1. Scoring - Scoring is based on two parts. First, the fantasy point values of each of the 5 cards are added together. Second, bonus points are awarded for both color combinations and having teammates.
  2. Value of Athletes for Live Games - Athletes are scored based on the fantasy points they score during their live action sporting events. It is possible for athletes to score 0 or even negative points.
  3. Card Selection - Contestants who don't fold during the game will select ANY 5 card combination of their community/hole cards to be scored.
  4. Winners Immediately Known for Rewind Games - Contestants immediately know how they finished in the match because the scoring system for all sports is based on fantasy point per game averages and not live action games. This allows IMMEDIATE scoring for the match once all teams have been secured through the bidding process.
  5. Winners Known Later for Live Games - There are two ways contestants can view the scoring of their game. First, they can watch the fantasy scoring unfold, from the game room, as the live sporting events play out in real time. You can also see the final results in My Games by clicking on the game once ALL of the live sporting events have concluded.

  1. Color Bonus Points - Bonus points are awarded for athletes who share the same color--or in the case of a STRAIGHT, they all have different colors. Bonuses are awarded based on the following combinations:
  2. Bonus Points
    1 Pair = 4 Points
    2 Pairs = 8 Points
    3 of a Kind = 12 Points
    Straight = 16 Points
    Full House = 20 Points
    4 of a Kind = 24 Points
    5 of a Kind = 28 Points
  3. Teammate Bonus Points - Bonus points are awarded for teammates who play on the same professional teams. Since golf doesn't have teammates, numbers are used to denote their pairing or grouping for a tee time. A matching number between 2 or more golfers denotes they are in the same grouping and the bonus applies for them. Please note that this grouping is randomly selected and does not reflect the actual tee times of LIVE golf events. The "teammates" bonus is as follows:
  4. Bonus Points
    1 Pair = 8 Points
    2 Pairs = 16 Points
    3 of a Kind = 24 Points
    Full House = 32 Points
    4 of a Kind = 40 Points
    5 of a Kind = 48 Points
Back To Top Close Rules
  1. Text Alert - Once your Bid N' Go fills with nine contestants, you will receive a text alert. This alert is a notice announcing your Bid N' Go is about to start. The last player at the table will NOT receive a text alert because it is unnecessary.
  2. Internet Connectivity - Players assume the risk for any internet connectivity issues or complete disconnections. If you are experiencing an Internet connection problem, you will see this picture:

  1. No Tiebreakers - There are no tiebreakers for Hold 'Em. If 2 or more contestants tie for the top position, they split the pot evenly.

How To Play

Rules x

Applies only to Rewind/Live games

  1. Game Entry Fees - Contestants can enter a GREED Bid N' Go for $2, $5, $10, $25, $50 and $100.
  2. Experience Level of Players - Player nameplates are color coded to identify the experience level of each participant in a game. A GREEN nameplate identifies someone who has played in less than 100 total Spoker games, a BLUE nameplate identifies someone who has played in between 100 and 999 total Spoker games and a BLACK nameplate identifies someone who has played in at least 1,000 total Spoker games. Games played in the PRACTICE lobby do NOT count towards these totals.
  3. Beginner Games - Some Spoker games only permit beginning players in them. These games are labed "BEG" in the game lobby. A beginning player is defined as anyone who has played less than 100 times of any game type. For example, GREED is a particular game type. 1/6 of the Spoker games are only open to beginning players.
  4. Winning Position - Contestants finishing in the top four of their group win money based on their finishing position. 1st place receives 3X their entry fee, 2nd and 3rd place double their entry fee, and 4th place finishers get their entry fee back. The fifth through ninth place finishers of a group do not win any money.
Back To Top Close Rules
  1. Pick a Sport - There are six sports to choose from: baseball, basketball, golf, football, EPL soccer, and hockey.
  2. Format - Greed is played in groups of nine (9) contestants over six rounds. Contestants create teams of six athletes they secure during a six round bidding process.
  3. Non-Traditional Draft - A different playing position is up for draft each round. For example, the tight end position is drafted in the first round of the football game. The nine players competing have six tight ends to choose from. Instead of taking turns drafting them, the draft is blind. Contestants have 20 seconds to select the tight end they want for their team.
  4. Securing an Athlete - Contestants always receive the athletes they picked each round. Their value is not determined though until it is revealed what ALL contestants did with their selections.
  5. Athlete Pool - There are a minimum number of professional sporting events needed to hold a Spoker Live game. If you enter a Spoker Live game and there are no longer enough games left that night (or weekend for football) to hold one, then you will automatically be placed in a game for Spoker Live on the next available date. The date(s) of the game can always be found in your My Games area.
Back To Top Close Rules
  1. Duplication Penalty - Since there are more contestants (9) than athletes available (6) for a given round, this means some athletes will be duplicated. Non-duplicated athletes are always worth 100% of their fantasy PPG average; however, duplication creates penalties. It is important to remember that the better the athlete is, the bigger the penalty is going to be and the more duplication that occurs, the penalty only gets worse.
  2. Weighted Penalties - If only one player selects an athlete, he is worth 100% of his fantasy point value to the player who selected him. When an athlete is selected by two or more players, the athlete's value is decreased by 20% EACH TIME he is duplicated. All contestants who choose the same athlete receive his adjusted fantasy point value for the game.

    Times Athlete Selected Athlete's Value
    1x 100%
    2x 80%
    3x 60%
    4x 40%
    5x 20%
    6x or More 0%
Back To Top Close Rules
  1. Team - Once the six rounds of drafting are over, each contestant has their team of six athletes that is scored for the match.
  2. No Selection - If a contestant fails to select an athlete for a given round, this position will be scored a zero (0) for the game. This rule underscores the importance of always selecting an athlete for each of the six rounds.
Back To Top Close Rules
  1. Text Alert - Once your Bid N' Go fills with nine contestants, you will receive a text alert. This alert is a notice announcing your Bid N' Go is about to start. The last player at the table will NOT receive a text alert because it is unnecessary.
  2. Internet Connectivity - Players assume the risk for any internet connectivity issues or complete disconnections. If you are experiencing an Internet connection problem, you will see this picture:

  1. Athlete/Team Scoring for Rewind Games - A team is scored by adding the scores of all six athletes together. Each athlete is scored by taking their fantasy point per game average and multiplying it by the percentage of points the contestant secured for a given athlete. For example, if a) Jalen Hurts is your QB and his fantasy average is 16 points per game AND b) you won secured him at the 60% level for the game, THEN c) you will receive 60% of Brady's points for the match--in this case, 60% of 16 is equal to 9.6 points. The athlete pool for EACH sport is listed below.
  2. Winners Immediately Known for Rewind Games - Contestants immediately know how they finished in the match because the scoring system for all 6 sports is based on fantasy point per game averages and not live action games. This allows IMMEDIATE scoring for the match once all teams have been secured through the bidding process.

♤ ♣ Cash Games Basics ♦ ♡

  1. There are three types of contests in the Cash Games lobby. They are: Greed, Hold 'Em, and Omaha. Players should familiarize themselves with the rules for each game type before entering a contest for money.
  2. Players have three options in the Cash Games lobby. They can compete in a LIVE game that follows the traditional fantasy sports model of waiting for the final scores of upcoming sporting events, they can play REWIND which uses fantasy averages of the athletes where contests are scored immediately or they can PRACTICE by playing a REWIND contest against virtual players for no money.
  3. If an athlete does not appear in a Spoker Live contest, for any reason (injury, suspension, scratch, etc.), they will receive ZERO points during scoring.
  4. Contests in the REWIND lobby last about 4-5 minutes. For LIVE games, it takes 4-5 minutes to draft teams and they become finalized when all sporting events linked to the contest are complete.
  5. Players enter a table for a designated dollar amount and top finishers are paid proportionally based on the entry fees.
  6. Payouts for both Greed LIVE and REWIND contests are as such: 1st Place = 3X entry fee, 2nd Place = 2X entry fee, 3rd Place = 2X entry fee and 4th Place = Receive entry fee back. Hold 'Em and Omaha only pay the top finisher and this payout is equal to the dollar amount found in the pot.
