    But could someone explain the difference between $W and $T on stars. What can they be used in, how do you earn them. Kind of a basic question, but have only been playing on stars for a short while. Any douche bag responses are not needed.

    Poker Tournament Dollars (T$)
    As the world's largest online poker tournament site, pokerstars is proud to offer a unique Tournament Dollar system. When you qualify to any event through a satellite (excluding the W Dollars events discussed below), you have the option to unregister from the target event and receive Tournament Dollars. These Tournament Dollars can be used to register in any other PokerStars tournament, including Sit & Gos, and satellites. If you win multiple seats to the same target event, the value of these seats will be automatically credited to your Tournament Dollar account. Tournament Dollars differ from real money, because they cannot be used in real money games - only for buying into poker tournaments.

    W Dollars (W$)
    In addition to our Tournament Dollars, we also offer special W$. W$ can be used to register into any qualifying special PokerStars event.

    Special poker events currently include:

    PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA)
    European Poker Tour (EPT)
    PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP)
    World Series of Poker (WSOP)
    World Poker Tour Championship (WPT)
    When you win a seat in one of the W$ special events, for example a seat in the 2005 PCA-WPT event in the Bahamas, you must play the event and will not be allowed to unregister. If you win multiple seats in the same event, the value of these seats will be automatically credited to your W$ account. If you win a seat to a satellite for a W$ special event, you have the option to unregister from the satellite and receive W$. W$ can be used to register in any W$ special event.

    Many events will not allow you to unregister until one hour prior to the event. In that case, you may email PokerStars support to have us unregister you immediately. Please include your User ID, and the tournament number you wish to be unregistered from. The email for the poker tournament support team is: support@pokerstars.com.

    To check your W$ balance at anytime, please visit the cashier window through the lobby.

    ** Tournament Dollars can be used to register into regular and special events; W$ can only be used for special events.
