The PokerGO Tour™ will calculate all cashes $1M or less using three percentages based on buy-in amounts – .0010 for $10K to $24K events, .0006 for $25K to $99K events and .0003 for $100K+ events. Cashes over $1M default percentages to the higher cash, if a player cashes for $1.5M in a $10K event, points are determined using the $2M percentage.
