What is Fish Buffet?
Fish Buffet is the GGPoker loyalty program. It features a
multitiered structure giving up to 60% average 🧲 cashback. After many changes, the
current structure is a follow:
25 ranks (named as metals, bronze, silver, gold,
platinum).
8 levels (from 🧲 a small goldfish to a shark).
1 level with no time limit
(Platinum Fish).
4 yearly ranks (Platinum Octopus, Platinum Whale, Platinum 🧲 Shark,
GGPlatinum).
All players earn Fish Buffet Points (FP) by playing poker (no matter the
game type) and casino:
On average, 100 🧲 FP are rewarded for everyR$1 paid in rake (real
money cash games and tournaments)*
FromR$0.67 (Casino Poker) toR$16.67 (Blackjack)
wager amount 🧲 required to get 1 FP in casino games.
Please note that Fish Buffet is
different from all other promotions of the 🧲 site (deposit bonus, rake races,
leaderboards, etc.).
Of course, we are mainly interested in the online poker scenario,
which, unfortunately for 🧲 regs, uses a tricky formula based on PVI rake. Bear in mind
you cannot control PVI, nor will the site 🧲 give you more details about it, we suggest
not overthink this matter.
PVI rake and Fish Buffet
The Player Value Index (PVI) 🧲 plays
an important role in FB (let's recall that this is how GGPoker distributes the rake
paid at the cash 🧲 game tables and tournaments). The key here is the word "average."
According to the poker room, the number of points 🧲 can change according to the games
played, player behavior, play style, deposit history, withdrawals, etc.
In other words,
in theory, you 🧲 should get 100 points for everyR$1 paid in rake, but due to PVI, you can
be getting 50 points or 🧲 30 points, according to your skill and behavior at the
tables.
Overall, a winning player crushing the tables will get fewer 🧲 FP compared to a
casual player. However, in the long term, hardcore players will be able to reach the
highest 🧲 statuses, but it remains unclear how much rake they actually paid to get
there.
Fish Buffet over time
The original Fish Buffet 🧲 has changed a lot. Let's
highlight the most important updates:
In September 2024, GGPoker introduced Black ranks
(yearly levels with flat 🧲 cashback), included casino bets towards the rewards program,
and boosted the maximum average rakeback to 60%.
After a massive influx of 🧲 players
(WSOP Online series in March 2024), GGPoker rolled out the new Fish Buffet rewards
system. Black Levels changed to 🧲 Platinum, requirements for leveling up lowered, and the
rewards via the wheel were boosted.
Right now, GG Poker rewards hardcore grinders 🧲 with
up to 60% average rakeback and gives the possibility to switch between a fixed cashback
or spinning the wheel 🧲 for random higher cash prizes, although it sticks to a complex
structure with over 20 ranks.
Changes overview
Let's highlight the significant 🧲 changes
between the old and new Fish Buffet cash rewards:
From six to one "Shark" level.
From
Black to Platinum ranks.
Introduction of 🧲 annual levels.
Introduction of fixed rakeback
ranks.
A more fractional step of average rakeback.
In general, more Fish Points are
needed to climb 🧲 higher ranks.
Overall, GGPoker has tried to please all players: casual
players definitely enjoy spinning the wheel while regs can get 🧲 fixed rakeback even from
the beginning.
What are the current levels and probabilities in Fish Buffet?
You can
see all the new 🧲 GGPoker Fish Buffet ranks, levels, FP requirements, and payouts in the
following table, compared to the previous version:
From the table, 🧲 we can highlight the
following data:
You can get a 20% flat cashback with no fish points requirement , ideal
for 🧲 low-stakes grinders.
, ideal for low-stakes grinders. After reaching Whale level, a
complex journey will begin, getting only 1% more cashback 🧲 for climbing every rank (10
in total, 120,000 FP required orR$1,2k net rake).
You need to rush to climb the first
🧲 levels due to the lowered timeframe (15 days).
Another essential factor is
probabilities. Only Platinum levels give flat cashback (more on 🧲 this later). But all
other ranks give a chance to spin the fish buffet wheel and get random prizes (although
🧲 the site still announces an average rakeback for each status).

Now let's study the data:
The 🧲 higher the level, the
higher the probability of hitting a 100% rakeback.
Most of the time, you will be
getting a 🧲 25%-40% return.
The wheel will be spun for you automatically after 30
days.
We can compare spinning the wheel to a lottery 🧲 ticket. On average, you will have
a 13% chance (16% after reaching Whale) of getting a 100% cashback.
All you need 🧲 to
know about Platinum Ranks
Perhaps one of the most exciting features of FishBuffet is
Platinum ranks:
Weekly "fixed" cashback from 20% 🧲 to 60% (no more spins).
New highest
tier called "GGPlatinum."
Switching between Platinum and Fish ranks is possible.
After
switching to a Platinum 🧲 rank, any unopened wheels will be credited automatically.
How
to get a Platinum rank?
New ranks were added after the latest Fish 🧲 Buffet update. The
required points for each tier are as follows:
Platinum Rank Time FPs to renew FPs to
reach The 🧲 Platinum 1 year 5000000 - Platinum Shark 1 year 5000000 5000000 Platinum
Whale 1 year 1500000 3000000 Platinum Octopus 1 🧲 year 750000 - Platinum Fish Forever -
-
Please note that you will require fewer FPs to renew a Platinum level 🧲 than climbing
to it (for example, 3,000,000 are required to be a Platinum Whale, but only 1,500,000
to renew it).
How 🧲 to switch from Platinum ranks?
However, many players (even from
online poker) like the possibility of having a random big prize 🧲 (this also made Spin&Go
very popular). Hence, after reaching a Platinum level, you can switch to any lower
level/rank to 🧲 spin the wheel.
To do this, go to Profile > Rewards Program > Switch.
If
you regret it, no worries, you can 🧲 switch back to Platinum level in the same section,
clicking the "Switch to Fish Buffet" button. Two restrictions apply: The 🧲 new rank
starts with 0FP; you won't be able to switch back to a Platinum rank during the time
limit 🧲 set for each level.
Final thoughts
The new Fish Buffet rewards all GGPoker
players; although the percentage is not fixed (even in 🧲 Platinum ranks due to PVI rake),
you will definitely get some extra cash after reaching every level. All you can 🧲 do is
enjoy the ride and decide whether you prefer a fixed rakeback system or try your luck
spinning the 🧲 wheel.
Overall, online poker is a better place for everyone after
introducing amateur-friendly policies like the ones implemented by GG Poker 🧲 in their
rakeback system.
