PracticePlaying for money
To playNothing at allYou and your opponent put up the same stake
Our cutNone10% of the pot, and nothing at all on a draw
Counts towardNothingYour XP, your rating and the leaderboard
Practice runs on its own tables, away from the money entirely. Win a hundred games here and your rating still reads as unrated.
A bot has no account and no balance, so it can never be your opponent in a game with money on it. That is not a rule we apply. There is nowhere to put it.
