House21 XP, Levels and Daily Rewards Explained
At House21 you earn XP for every hand you play, with bonuses for wins and blackjacks, and free chips from four sources: a 7-day login streak (200 to 1,200 chips a day), a comeback bonus after 8 hours away (800 chips), daily missions (500 to 1,200 chips each) and the 10,000 chips every new player starts with. XP raises your level, which shows on your seat at the table and on the leaderboard.
How you earn XP at the table
| Action | XP |
|---|---|
| Finish a round | 10 |
| Win a hand | +5 |
| Win with a blackjack | +10 |
| Win when the dealer busts | +3 |
| Sit down at a table | 5 (once every 5 minutes per table) |
| Keep playing | 15 every 5 minutes, if you played at least one round in that time (up to 90 an hour) |
A typical winning hand is worth 15 XP, a winning blackjack 25. Losing hands still earn the 10 XP for finishing the round, so you level up by playing, not only by winning.
The 7-day login streak
Claim your daily bonus once per calendar day (UTC). Each day in a row pays more. Miss a day and the streak starts again at day 1; finish day 7 and it starts a new cycle.
| Day | Chips | XP |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 200 | 10 |
| 2 | 300 | 15 |
| 3 | 400 | 20 |
| 4 | 500 | 25 |
| 5 | 700 | 30 |
| 6 | 900 | 35 |
| 7 | 1,200 | 50 |
A full week is worth 4,200 chips and 185 XP.
The comeback bonus
If you've been away for 8 hours or more, you can claim a comeback bonus of 800 chips and 15 XP when you return. It's once per return, and it's separate from the daily streak, so on most days you can claim both.
Daily missions
Every day you get three missions: "Play 10 hands" plus two that rotate. Each pays chips and XP when you claim it.
| Mission | Chips | XP |
|---|---|---|
| Play 10 hands (every day) | 500 | 50 |
| Win 3 hands | 750 | 75 |
| Win a hand you doubled down on | 750 | 75 |
| Get a blackjack | 1,000 | 100 |
| Win a hand after splitting | 1,000 | 100 |
| Win 6 hands | 1,200 | 120 |
Missions that ask for a double or a split are a good excuse to learn when those plays are right; the basic strategy chart shows exactly when.
How much XP each level takes
Each level takes a bit more XP than the last: the step from level L to the next is 100 × L^1.5, rounded down.
| Level | Total XP needed | XP for the next level |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 100 | 282 |
| 5 | 1,701 | 1,118 |
| 10 | 11,102 | 3,162 |
| 20 | 67,128 | 8,944 |
| 30 | 189,018 | 16,431 |
At roughly 12 to 15 XP per hand, level 10 is a few evenings of play. Level 30 is a long project.
Getting the most out of it
- Claim the daily bonus first, then the comeback bonus if it's offered.
- Finish "Play 10 hands" every day. It's the easiest 500 chips and 50 XP.
- Don't chase missions with bad plays. Doubling a 15 to complete "win a doubled hand" costs more chips than the mission pays back.
- Bet within your stack. More chips don't help if they're gone in ten hands. See how many bets you need.
