Below are some of the new things going on with the site. Be sure to click on the link below to read more and find out all the cool happening that’s going on in the community!!

New Feature: Skill Rating System

We understand that our users want as much accurate information about their opponent’s skill as possible. In response to this we have implemented a variant of TrueSkill™ to calculate your skill on a game-by-game basis which is relative to other players who play the same game on WorldGaming.com. The rating scale is 0-10, is updated at the completion of every game, but displays as “NR” (Not Rated) until 5 games have been played through WorldGaming.com.

When evaluating skill please consider:

1. Skill Ratings will not win you your games, your skills will win you your games. It is ultimately up to you and your performance in any given match regardless of your Skill Rating and that of your opponent.
2. The difference you see in Skill Rating only reflects the estimated chance you have to win or lose a match against a person based on your respective playing histories. If you play against a player with an equal Skill Rating, statistically speaking, you will have an equal chance of winning. This is statistically based on your Skill Rating in relation to your opponent’s Skill Rating and is not a predefined or guaranteed margin for success. This is simply an average observed over numerous WorldGaming matches and assumes that a player always exhibits an identical level of skill consistent with their previous gaming history.
3. As a Tip: WorldGaming recommends that you challenge opponents who are in your skill range and have played a number of games in the past that you see as relevant. It is important to take into account your opponent’s entire profile including their number of games played, along with their reputation and feedback comments prior to challenging/accepting a game with them. Each player’s history will have a Skill Rating AND a total number of games played for that specific game. The real skill of a player is better illustrated after a person has played a number of games and has a track record of wins versus loses. In fact, by the time a person has played 50 games, their Skill Ranking should be very accurate. Conversely, a player who has only played a handful of games may not yet have played enough games to get a very accurate Skill Rating and therefore, you may find yourself up against a very skilled or unskilled player who is just starting out on WorldGaming.com.

New Feature: Bonus Earn Plan

WorldGaming.com is currently running a Bonus for all first time depositing users, and for referring friends. Since you may not be familiar with how users earn bonuses here is an explanation of how WorldGaming.com bonuses work. All bonuses on WorldGaming.com are earned by playing cash games. For each cash game you play where YOUR entry fee is $5 or more you will be earning a portion of your bonus, regardless of whether you win or lose until your entire bonus has been earned. Bonuses are given out as you play, not all at once. The more cash games you play the faster you earn your Bonus Money. Below is a chart to help you understand in relation to your entry fee, how much bonus money you would receive.

You can track and manage your bonus money through the Cashier section of WorldGaming.com. There you will see exactly how much of your bonus has been earned and which games earned you bonus money. Remember to take note of when your bonus expires, for bonuses are not everlasting.

New Feature: Avatar Upload

You can now upload your own avatar using the new avatar upload feature on your homepage under the edit profile tab! Simply select a picture to upload and save it to your profile. Upload the picture that best represents you and your game, just try to keep it in good taste!
