What good are career earnings if you can't spend them?

  Not that I'll ever afford the private jet or mansion.

  Career earnings is just a total of all credits earned from the beginning of an account.

   

  Doesn't represent how much you have but if fact was credits that could be spent.

   

  For instance, your yearly income is your total earnings for the year. Doesn't mean you have that much money sitting around somewhere, but almost certain it has been spent.  Well any part that you don't still have in savings somewhere.  ;-)

  It's for bragging rights only. Mind you that it only includes official earnings from WGT's purse, minus Bracket winnings. No challenge earnings from MP games...

  This is bragging of the company. By re-transmitting the credits to $$, they give the public the wrong impression that a fortune might be gained here. See the earnings leaderboard on the front page.

  Yep.   Take me for instance.  I pay 100 credits for a 100cr RG and win 50cr's back.  Even though I lost credits, it will show as a positive earnings of 50 cents.  LOL

  Most of all, these 50 crs aren't worth 0.50 $. In fact, they are worth nothing
  outside WGT, because

  Credits do not have monetary or stored value or any credit balance of real currency or its equivalent and are not redeemable for money at any time.

  (from the T&Cs).

  Yep,   was just putting the currency on there since the career earnings is shown in dollar amounts.

  It also will not include any credits earned from doing the offers such as the videos surveys or completing purchase offers .

  There are some members with millions of actual credits (not earnings). What are they going to do with them?

  Credits are different from Earnings. In a nutshell, Credits can be used to purchase/gift/rent items listed in the Pro Shop and Career Earnings reflect everything you have won or attained by playing the game.

  Thank you for answering, Don, but I know what credits are and where they can be used. The question had another meaning.
