In the last month I have had lots of questions about railbirds….so I am going to put my answers in a blog coming straight from the FAQ of Railbirds….Please if anyone has any questions, I am not saying don’t pm me….by all means I am willing to help.
Below is the basic questions I have been asked for help with.
> >How do I get passwords for Railbirds.com freerolls?
In order to get passwords to our Railbirds.com freerolls on Poker Stars and Full Tilt Poker, you have to be a bit active. Post some blog entries, post in the forums, make friends and upload content - it will all count towards your getting passwords. It really doesn't take much - just keep at it and you'll be receiving them in no time!
How do I add members to my friends list?
Click on the orange button on the right hand of the screen labled "Search railbirds". Enter the member's name and click "Search". Once you find their name, click on "Request Friendship".
What are the exact requirements for getting passwords?
While we don't want to believe anything bad about our users, we do know that telling the exact requirements would cause some people to fulfill them and never do anything again, so we don't tell how the formula works. It honestly really doesn't take much though!
How do I score points for the ranked freerolls?
Points are rewarded to the top 15%. The member in 1st place will receive an amount of points equal to the total amount of participants. 2nd place will receive 97% of the total points that 1st place got, 3rd will receive 97% of the 2nd place total, and so on. The actual formula is as follows: Total points = N * 0.97 ^ (X - 1) or 0.97 to the power of (X - 1) where, N = total number of participants X = your placing For example, if you were to place 55th in a tournament with 737 players, you would receive 737 times (0.97 to the power of 54) = 142.28 points.
How can I change the information in my profile?
Go to your profile page through the orange link in the upper right corner that says "My page". Once there, you can click the "Edit this page" button and edit your heart away. Don't forget to save any changes made.
I heard something about doubled prize money...
That's correct! If you win one of our Railbirds.com freerolls on Poker Stars while using a Railbirds.com avatar, we will match your winnings 100 %! The avatars are available on this page.
How do I upload a picture?
There are a few methods to do this but the easiest way is to click on the "My Page" link at the top right of the page. Then select the "Gallery" tab. Then select the green "Upload images" button and follow the instructions from there.
I just got scammed by a fellow railbird - what will Railbirds.com do for me?
We're sorry, but probably nothing... it's our policy to generally not get involved in these situations. We neither reccomend nor condone loaning, staking or trading between Railbirds.com members. If you do partake in any of these actions, you do so at your own risk. Remember, asking for loans, staking or funds trading is not allowed in any fashion at Railbirds.com
If ANYONE has any questions that you cant find the answer too or just need a simple answer feel free to contact me I will be glad to help
