Basics:
So What is Pokerowned?
Pokerowned is essentially a GetPaidTo website that enables you to earn points through doing various things which u can then redeem for either free roll entry, poker cash and online shopping cash/vouchers.
Pokerowned is also a forum where poker players can come together and discuss many topics all divided into subsections to make it easier for you the member to find. Subjects range from bad beats, tourney discussions, advice and heads up on promos that any poker site may be holding at that current time. This thread will teach you how to navigate the forum to effectively post in the right section to ensure that you can get the best reaction possible to whatever it is you are posting about.
Pokerowned is an affiliate, this means that it as a site is closely linked to many of the poker skins at which it hosts freerolls for and it means that you can trust poker owned to deliver the best possible service when dealing with redeems/issues. The admins at this site are committed to helping us members with any and all issues that we may come across when dealing with the free rolls they host or any promotions that are linked with Pokerowned.

Chatbox:
On the home page you will have noticed the chatbox, this is an instant messaging part of the site that is open to all users once you have made at least 1 post in the forums. It is a good place to meet new people, make new rivals and have a laugh. There is a strict no drama policy and mods have the ability to ban you from the chatbox for a length of time they deem fit (standard is a 30 min chat ban). There are 2 channels, ch1 is for general chat and ch2 is for trade advertisements, although it is advised that you use the marketplace section of the thread for best results.

Bubble chat:
At the bottom of the website you will notice a personal, instant chat feature of the site known as buble chat. It allows you to talk to members on a more private level and is a good way to make new friends or ask for help.

Search feature:
Pokerowned has a search function so that you can find a specific thread or topic, this tool is incredibly useful if you are looking for something that may not appear on the first page of the desired sub forum and can save you as a member a lot of time and energy.

Points for posting:
Pokerowned works off a point system which I will go into more detail later, one of the features the website provides is 5 points completely free just for being an active member and posting in the forums, however there are restrictions to reduce spam. Firstly you only get free points 4 times a day…so in otherwords you can make 4 posts a day and earn 20 points. Secondly there is a character limit of 35, this means you must type a sentence that is at least 35 characters long in order for you to get the free points. Lastly there is a cap, this works on a points earned vs. points gained for free system, it is explain more in this thread: http://www.pokerowned.com/forums/f11...cap-10646.html.

Points:
What are points?
Points are the currency of Pokerowned. They allow you to do everything on the site and are the cornerstone of getpaidto as a company. You can earn, trade, bet and buy coupons with points, This guide will show you how to do all of the above.

Earning points:
You can earn points by completing various offers/surveys hosted by the many offer walls, the offer walls are as follows;
PO offers:
These are offers that a dedicated member of the PO staff has found, checked and uploaded if you can complete any of these offers (they are still not guaranteed) then you will be guaranteed to get a conversion. There are not as many offers listed in this section but the offers that are, tend to be worth more points
Trial pay
Matomy
Super rewards
Wall ads
Peanut labs
Sponsor pay
Usamp
CPA lead
Payment wall
Token ads
Crowd flower
Revenue universe
Radio loyalty

Each of these offer walls have there “specialty” and you will find that these surveys/offers/trials each company concentrates on will have the highest conversion rate.
